Trauma is crazy. If your brain deems a memory too harmful to you, it either cuts it out or it changes it to be more palatable. If you are traumatised killing someone, the memory can distort to “I had no choice! they wanted to kill me!” Or to “I had to watch that person get killed by someone else..” when in reality it’s was you.
I think he killed his dad and I think he did it when he was delirious from blood loss and thought he was a maggot. I think guwon did come and offer him water. I think he stepped over the dad’s dead body to give him water and I think the image of him standing over the body got distorted into “he killed him”. It’s fairly common actually for your brain to slice and dice memories to suit your own needs. In fact, everything you see through your eyes has been sliced and diced then put back together like a jigsaw puzzle and your brain uses ai generative fill to either cover the parts you don’t want to see or to cover missing parts (like the nose that’s a blind spot). It does it so flawlessly and seamlessly that you won’t notice until you get confronted with it or smacked in the head.
TLDR: I think teach killed his own dad thinking he was a maggot, got so traumatised and felt so guilty that his brain manipulated the memory to make guwon the one who killed him when guwon brought him water and rescued him.
