I think yuta is acting differently since it was hinted Seunghyun might have "abandoned"/"didn't save him" in an attack from the past. I think he looked up to Seunghyun as someone who basically treated him differently than other clients/gangsters so he had a lot of hope but once he was "abandoned" a part of him died.
I do think Yuta has been dreaming of their past encounters so it's also a flashback but just in a dream.

Did he have an accident or something? Why is he acting so differently???? I don't get iiiiit????
Or are those really just dreams??? I am so confused but also intrigued... save me. I wanna knooowowoowowow
