I had to re-read the chapter, but I'm pretty sure the flashback he has was when he was being told about how they found LSY. iirc (minor novel spoilers but may be inaccurate since it's been a while)
LSY was found twice: once by J (from the rifts/outbreak) and the other by Jung Bin(?) and co. (from Prometheus). He was told about the 2nd time, but he obviously doesn't know that it's the same child since that happened while he was in the Great Rift. He's not quite there yet lol

J you can't be that dull, it's obvious that the kid is your poison soon-to-be boyfriend #-.-)
