Since the story's fresh and all, and we don't know much about Ideum's background aside from his heart surgery and parent's divorce, I'm kinda sold on the idea that he was held back for a year or two so it was actually Jaeyi who he was classmates with in high school. If it was his brother, it's also a bit iffy cuz of the age. Ideum's 26 and the Jiseong is 29. Unless, he was also held back bc remember when Jaeyi said he also had surgery? Still, wouldn't he remember the guy he had a crush on even with dyed eyebrows and hair?
