* In the flashbacks of Cha Hyun's backstory, we slowly piece together what type of person Cha Hyun's used to be and the trauma he went through that made him the person he is.
** Chapter 3 showed a flashback of Cha Hyun's father angrily demanding to know who hurt his son and was angry at the suggestion of a settlement, but then when a mysterious person came in, he was shocked, and the flashbacks ended, it implied that he was threatening to take the settlement.
** In the Chapter 5 flashback, we see Cha Hyun's beating the floor and bleeding while his bully is over him with a baseball bat in front of his classmates. The bully saw that Cha Hyun still had spirits, so he demanded that a student from the crowd watching come and continue the beating. The student with the glasses did not want to do it, but the bully asked if he was friends with Cha Hyun; the bully pointed out that the whole crowd, who looked both scared and ashamed, were all friends with Cha Hyun. The bully says that the student does not have to beat Cha Hyun if he does not want to, and he would not force him to do it. The bully then asks who you hang out with, implying that the student will be the next victim if he does not beat Cha Hyun. The flashback ended with the student raising the baseball bat and saying sorry.
*** But what makes this even more tragic is that the bully was right; we later learned that Cha Hyun was a popular, well-liked student who was always willing to help his classmates and friends. The crowd of students watching Cha Hyun being beaten was probably his friends and classmates he had helped in the past. Another thing that makes this very worse is that Cha Hyun's classmates were all afraid and horrified about what was happening to him; no one was indifferent or taking joy in his suffering; it was implied that the bully family was so powerful that he scared the classmates into doing nothing and forced them to watch him bully Cha Hyun and even join in. Imagine watching a friend who is always there for you be hurt by this bully for no reason and being forced to watch and do nothing because the bully's that powerful, and imagine being forced even to hurt your friend by that bully. It's easy to sympathize with Cha Hyun's classmates not being able to help their friend, and what's worse is that with Cha Hyun's Family stuff and him moving to the apartment building, it's unlikely that the classmates will ever see him or make amends with him, especially with the apocalypse in the story.

* Cha Hyun's backstory is nothing short of heartbreaking. Once upon a time, he was a very popular and brilliant student that had a loving relationship with his parents and sister, as he was their pride and joy. One day, for no reason at all, a wealthy classmate decides to ruin Hyun's life by socially excluding him. It's implied that the unnamed bully used his wealth and family influence to turn his classmates against him and get his close friends to abandon him. To make things even worse, Hyun received no support whatsoever from his family because the bully's father was the owner of the company Hyun's dad worked at. Even his little sister, Sua, distanced herself from him, to the point where she denied being related to him. Although his parents did talk to the school and the bully stopped picking on him after that incident, Hyun was still heavily traumatized and came out a different person. Hyun's breaking point, however, came when he saw the bully tell another student that if he jumped in front of a car, the bully would pay for his mom's surgery. Upon seeing this, Hyun got angry and pushed the bully in front of a passing car, which would have hit him if it did not stop in time. Hyun's father was subsequently fired. Additionally, the mother of the student who was supposed to jump in front of the car died, and even blamed ''Hyun'' for her death. No wonder Hyun is extremely anti-social and greatly resents his family at the start of the story.
