Basically ML & MC we're childhood sweethearts that got separated. ML is well to do (a prince?) while MC is from a herbalist family (?). ML leave behind MC with this memento. But when ML came back again to find the MC, he got a lot of people showing up with false claims. It didn't helped that MC had grown buff and tall and not like the cute self he was asking a child. So when ML finally met the MC, he mistakenly took him for a fraud and had him beaten up.
