### Summary
The narrative delves into Beom Gunwoo's past through an extended flashback, directly addressing Yeo Eui-Joon's demand for transparency. This backstory introduces a toxic dynamic involving a powerful "Chairman," his son Chaehyeon (also called Hyun), and a younger Gunwoo (nicknamed "Ahjuicy"). The central conflict revolves around the Chairman's cruel favoritism; he openly demeans and humiliates his own son while lavishing praise on Gunwoo, creating an emotionally abusive environment that elicits strong reader sympathy for Chaehyeon and contempt for the father. This past trauma contextualizes the danger surrounding Gunwoo, revealing he was forced into a criminal lifestyle he desperately wants to escape. Readers speculate on Chaehyeon's complex feelings toward Gunwoo, sensing a mixture of resentment and a potential crush that positions him as a future source of conflict. While minor scenes showing Gunwoo with a woman in his past cause some unease, the chapter's primary function is to establish the oppressive origins of Gunwoo's gangster life and the deep-seated motivations behind his urgent desire to build a new, peaceful future with Eui-Joon.
