I feel like a big secret was revealed to Haebom and he was then held in captivity. I've always assumed Taesung's mom was in love with Haebom's, so her dad (the grandpa) somehow orchestrated the accident that killed Haebom's parents. Taesung's mom knew this and then chose to adopt Haebom partly out of both love and guilt; she, him, and Taesung then officially left her father's house (influence). Ergo, it was his family's attachment to Taesung's that seals their fates.
After the wedding, we saw Taesung's mom warning the grandpa to back off--likely knowing he'd target Haebom again. Ultimately, the grandpa succeeded and abducted Haebom. The fearful part of me thinks that after telling Haebom the truth they proceeded to then torture him until he agreed to disappear and to never speak to Taesung's family again. Given his gaunt face and long hair, I'd assume he held out for a while and only recently was set free. So, the wound is very fresh.
I'm not a fan of this new season, tbh. The world is so dark and unfair already, so why would we extinguish something so bright and nice? What did we do to deserve this retcon meanness? （/TДT)/
Here's my best guess for what happened...
