My guess is that they've both reincarnated a lot of times (idk how much), but each time they do, only one seems to remember and not the other. Like in the book, Humin (the MC) must have remembered since he was drawing pictures of his old world. And now (like in the ML's flashback), the ML is the one remembering.
And since the MC was the one to remember (in the main story), that would mean that the ML maybe faked not knowing for the sake of the plot progressing (?) OR because he really didn't remember and the MC was able to jog his memory.
Not sure on that part really.

iheon was more able to cope with his lifetimes. but he's always been the aggressor, and multiple lifetimes of enacting violence will always be easier to face than compounded multiple lifetimes of trauma. so huimin is dissociating deeply and experiencing something of derealization, depersonalization, delusion, basically a whirlwind of denial bc his brain couldn't handle it anymore.
Doing all that gay shit just to barely realize you have feelings for him is crazy work
I mean at least it's happening now rather than in ch. 100
Only took them 39 chapters AFTER they did the dead a bunch of times
