Issue installing 3-way switch HS210 kit

Hi,
I wanted to install an HS210 3-way switch but the light bulb started repeatedly turning on and off. I have two sets of wires coming into the first switch box. A three-wire and a two-wire.
I removed all the connections from the switch box and noticed out of 5 wires only the white one coming out of the two-wire set is hot. I think it should be the black one. Right? Is it possible that the previous electrician mistakenly used the white as hot?
what should I do in this case?
Thanks Wayne. That wire is the only hot one. So I tagged it as Load/Line. Based on my understanding the traveller wires should be in the same cable so I tagged the red and black wires in the left cable as travellers and the remaining two wires (white on in the 3-wire cable and black one in the 2-wire cable) are going to be neutral and should be connected together. Right?
