### Summary
This chapter initiates a long-awaited and emotionally heavy backstory arc, shifting focus to Ji Ho's childhood to explore the roots of his past trauma. The narrative introduces a handsome, red-headed boy who was Ji Ho's first crush, immediately casting him as a figure of suspicion among readers who anticipate he will cause Ji Ho pain. The flashback delves into difficult themes of internalized homophobia and the struggles of queer self-discovery at a young age, depicting specific incidents like homophobic comments from third-grade peers and a conflict over a personal notebook. This content has resonated deeply with the audience, prompting many to share personal, relatable stories of using academic perfectionism as a coping mechanism or facing rejection. While the tone is somber and readers are bracing for heartbreak, brief present-day interactions reinforce the established fluffy and supportive dynamic between Ji Ho and Dojin. A minor appearance by Ji Ho's sister, San-Noona, also drew positive attention from readers for her attractive design. The chapter effectively sets the stage for a period of angst focused on resolving Ji Ho's past.
