### Summary
A pivotal flashback finally resolves the central misunderstanding that has plagued the protagonists' relationship. It is confirmed that Shihyeon’s birth name was Yunjae, making him Hajun’s true childhood friend. The long-standing conflict is revealed to be a tragicomic case of mistaken identity involving another boy—the blonde professor—who coincidentally shared the same name. The flashback details the origin of a key photograph, showing a desperate young Hajun mistakenly grabbing the wrong, terrified Yunjae for a farewell picture, thus explaining why the boy in the photo was crying. This stunning revelation re-contextualizes Hajun's decade-long obsession, which was based on a correct memory but misdirected at the wrong person. In the present, this truth surfaces as a recovering Hajun clings to Shihyeon, terrified he will leave again. While the resolution provides immense catharsis by clearing up the conflict that shattered their trust, it simultaneously opens a new line of inquiry into the other Yunjae's complicity and the traumatic past that led Shihyeon to abandon his original name and identity.
