I'm confused.
If we assume, that the dream was an actual memory, then Iheon's words are sus. He is talking about fate as if he knows what is going to happen, and wants (but is unable to) fight against it. Which implies many things, such as rebirth/timetravel, or transmigration, kinda like Huimin read the book and transmigrated. However, in the first chapter, it's also very sus, how Huimin is talking about the book, and says that it feels like as if he lived through the plot in a previous life.
So this could mean, that both of them lived through the book plot (maybe several times, since Iheon talks like he wanted to go against the fate, but maybe he was forced to act out the book plot anyway?), then next life is where there is no omegaverse and they are friends, and then again in the book. But then Iheon's attitude in the beginning makes no sense whatsoever. If he remembers all those lives, then he should have immidiatly suspected that Huimin remembers the non-book life. But he acted completely like the book-Iheon. Not as if he is forced to act out that character, but as if he *is* that character, with no memories of another life. And it doesn't seem like he gained any memories in the meantime, so perhaps he really doesn't remember anything, and him asking about Huimin regaining his memories is tied to how Huimin pretended to have a split personality with lost acces to many memories.
So perhaps it's Iheon who lost his memories of previous lives this time around? Or maybe he loses them every time he has to act out the plot, and only remembers after their deaths. Which would also explain why he talked about being unable to fight against fate. And the other world is perhaps something in-between where he remembers.
Hmm. Too little information, we need more hints.
