Umm... you guys might already have thought of this by now

Is it just me or did Cheongyeon had like a second life or something....

I read the raws and had Cheongyeon's POV. Remember, Cheongyeon was the one who came to Taehwa and burrowed money... but in his POV, they met back in the bar where Cheongyeon worked in Chungdo. He had been already harrased and being pursued by Kyeongyoon, giving him flowers and rings and stuff. Then, he saw Taehwa, he was pulled by him and they talked. Taehwa gave his company's business card, the same business card with a spring themed Kicheol was so proud to show around in this turn.

And then, at his POV, he actually didn't lived in a rat house, his place was quite decent. Then Taehwa showed up there, and that's when their relationship started, more of a forced one. Taehwa was violent with him unlike the Taehwa we have now.

Remember, when Cheongyeon looked terrified when Taehwa pulled his ankle when he was being confronted about the rumors back in the bar?... And then he asked Taehwa not to grab him by the ankle anymore. So, obviously Taehwa thought some bastard did something to his ankle before, and ought to kill whoever it was. Apparently, it's actually him that did that... maybe that's why Cheongyeon never said why he didn't like being grab there.

In his POV, Cheongyeon jumped out of Taehwa's car out of fear and desperate to run away from Taehwa cause, dude's being too much. He hid and then Taehwa followed him, he slowly walked over and caught Cheongyeon. Then he grabbed his ankle (the same ankle Cheongyeon where he doesn't want to be grab) and then Taehwa twist the poor ankle and injured it.

The next scene, he was lying down, looking a mess because of all the shit Taehwa has done to him. He closed his eyes then felt Taehwa's hand touching his injured ankle, he immediately reacted with fear, then saw Taehwa on his knees. He looked regretful like he was about to cry any second. Then it ends with Cheongyeon now standing in the veranda looking at the ocean, the sweet Taehwa came in to hug him from behind.

Obviously, it's Korean, I don't understand anything they were saying, I only based on what was shown. I might be wrong with this, it could only Cheongyeon's imagination, BUT it's also not impossible that this could be the second life.

Given how he said, he doesn't want to fail again. And how Cheongyeon came to Taehwa's place just to explain himself about the misunderstanding with being Kyeongyoon's bitch and such. And Taehwa never expected for Cheongyeon to show up again by himself. And when asked where he found out about him... he said from a friend. And even when how he knew his way around Taehwa's house, knowing where the closet was. It makes sense if that's the case...
