The woman who died next to Gilyoung in the first scenario was actually his abusive aunt, not his mother. His biological parents died in a fire, leaving him with a family that viewed him as an unwanted accident. Gilyoung secretly blamed himself for the fire that killed his parents. This deep self-hatred is why he adapted to the apocalypse so instantly he already believed his life had no worth. Gilyoung was constantly insecure about his bond with Kim Dokja. Because Shin Yoosung became Dokja's official incarnation, Gilyoung secretly feared he was "unwanted" all over again, pushing himself to the brink just to stay relevant to his "Hyung".
Also his aunt wasn't just dropping him off at any shelter she was taking him to a notorious, low-rate orphanage known for severe neglect. He likely would not have survived long there if the apocalypse hadn't happened
