At some point during the tournament, Jae Hoon faced off against his brother. If he won, he would go on and fight against Grant and Kain R. Heinlein. After the battle, Jae Hoon is reflecting on what Kain said to him earlier about the right path for him and his belief justice, but a few surprisingly inspirative words from Dong Hwan makes Jae Hoon re-assert his belief on justice.
During Dong Hwan's ending, Dong Hwan collapse from exhaustion, leaving Jae Hoon no choice but to carry him back home. Assuming that he was asleep, Jae Hoon says that Dong Hwan was a hothead, which woke him up and annoyed him.
