The Delinquent’s First Love Chapter 26 Recap
The Delinquent’s First Love Chapter 26 dropped April 25, 2026, continuing the complicated amnesia-driven romance between Dorae and Haewon. By this point in the series, Haewon’s car accident has completely erased five years of his memories, leaving him mentally stuck as an 18-year-old delinquent who is entirely convinced that Dorae is his high school sweetheart. The major complication is that he actually has a current, popular girlfriend—who happens to be Dorae’s friend. Chapter 26 heavily focused on Dorae’s growing internal conflict as she struggles to maintain her boundaries against Haewon’s relentless, pure-hearted pursuit, while the looming threat of his memories returning continues to hang over them.
The Delinquent’s First Love Chapter 27 Spoilers
Based on current raw discussions and community spoilers:
- A shift in focus — While Haewon and Dorae’s dynamic remains the core conflict, Chapter 27 will briefly pivot to highlight the supporting cast. Readers can expect a dedicated scene exploring the developing relationship between Gyuri and Dokyeom, providing a break from the main amnesia drama.
- The girlfriend problem — Haewon’s actual girlfriend is going to become a much larger issue. As Haewon continues to completely ignore his five-year relationship in favor of chasing Dorae, his girlfriend’s patience will run out, leading to an inevitable and highly uncomfortable confrontation.
- Flashes of the past — Haewon will experience a sudden, fragmented flashback to his missing five years. While he won’t fully regain his memories yet, the brief glimpse into his adult life will deeply confuse him and temporarily stall his pursuit of Dorae.
