If it were a dream, it wouldn’t make sense with Yeongrae’s character setup, especially after she found out her crush liked her best friend. It would go against both her loyalty as a friend and the tough, realistic mindset shaped by her early struggles to survive.

I think that secene will happen after time skip when Jong Hui disappear and yeongrye and jaepil have more time together. Maybe the kiss is a dream of yeongrye but it's only when she feels jaepil's affection for her

There will be 7 gap years, and before that time an incident will happen will change their lives. I guess Jonghui will ran away. So the narration of yeongrye is for jonghui when they lost contact
