Episode 9 of Spring Fever is titled "Your Uncle Is... Dating Ms. Bom?", and begins with Han-gyeol questioning his uncle about his mother. Bom is also present during the emotional confrontation, and Jae-gyu's silence says a lot.

Han-gyeol expresses frustration and leaves without getting an answer as Se-jin and her elder brother arrive. So far, Han-gyeol has been keeping this misunderstanding. And instead of resolving it, he kept the pain inside him.

Han-gyeol later meets his mother, who gives him brief comfort, a glimpse of the life he thought was stolen from him. For a moment, he allows himself to believe her version of events, that she never abandoned him and still cared deeply.

But the illusion collapses the instant he overhears her phone call with Jae-gyu. The truth is far more painful: she chose to leave, and her kindness was rehearsed to spare him. This wasn't just a realisation but a painful truth about his own mother that deeply affected Han-gyeol in episode 9 of Spring Fever.
