i think he is. the time lines and everything match up and this guy looks a lot like jaeyi too. u can see his natural black hair a bit so he prob just dyed it blonde
i genuienly don’t see the resemblence of this guy and ideum’s first crush but he still talks like he knew ideum intimately and even got his name withoutn ideum introduce himself so i don’t think his only role is being jaeyi’s brother as well
The timelines don’t match up Ideum is older than him (unless he was held back a few years because of his surgery but idk)
i’m not saying jaeyi is ideum’s first crush cuz then yes the timelines don’t match. i’m referring to this new guy being jaeyi’s older brother. the timelines for those 2 match up and this new guy is a celebrity swimmer like jaeyi’s older brother is known to be. weather this guy is the one form ideum’s high school isn’t confirmed yet but i think it’s highly likely to be going in that direction. anyways i think he mighta just dyed his hair
damn so his first crush was really not jaeyi’s brother lmao i believed it sm
