Netkama Punch!!!

“That’s bullshit! Are you actually insane?!”
I pointed at him and shouted without hesitation. I genuinely had no idea what the hell he was talking about.

“Then tell me what you did to me from my point of view, noona.”
“What?”
I snapped back instinctively, but Shin Heejae jumped on my retort like he’d been waiting for it. He tossed a mini octopus sausage into his mouth and spoke while chewing.

“Noona, let’s be real. You were planning to scam me from the very beginning.”
“What the hell are you talking about?”
“You think I didn’t know you were pretending to be a newbie?”

My eyes widened at that. This was the first time I was hearing any of this. I stared at him in shock, but he just snorted and flicked his chopsticks smugly.
“You reeked of returning player energy, seriously.”
“……”

“What kind of newbie sets their skill tree and gear like that? And every time I took you through a dungeon, you found all the shortcuts.”
To be fair, when I was playing with him, I didn’t exactly try all that hard to keep up the act. I wasn’t aiming to pull off some elaborate deception, after all.
But realizing that Heejae had known the whole time and just played along—that was a shock. I glared at him with suspicion.

“So you knew and kept your mouth shut? Are you saying you knew I was Yeongil’s guild master?”
“Not that. But you totally gave off veteran vibes.”
“Then why didn’t you call me out on it?”

“C’mon. When someone hides their main and pretends to be a noob, there’s only one reason.”
He shrugged.
“You must’ve had problems with your old account. So you deleted it, wiped your nickname, and started over, right?”

“…!”
It wasn’t just the sharpness of his tone—it was the fact that, looking at the facts alone, he wasn’t even wrong. That made the anger surge even harder.
I opened my mouth to say something, but Heejae annoyingly cut me off again.
“You…”

“Look, even if I guessed all that, did I ever say anything? No. Instead, I helped you level, gave you gear, helped you adjust to the clan… And how did you treat me? You were always the coldest to me.”
“I never asked you to do all that!”
“But you didn’t reject anything I gave you. And honestly? Your whole attitude changed when I gave you gear.”

“What? When?!”
“Did you forget how you sent thank-you mails to everyone except me?”
The moment he said that, I remembered. Back then, I’d exaggeratedly sent over-the-top thank-you notes to the other clan members when they lent me items. It was half for fun, and half because they were faceless randos I’d never meet—so I laid it on thick with the flattery. But now that Shin Heejae was throwing that in my face, I felt a wave of secondhand shame crash down on me.

I stammered, then slammed my hand down on the table.
“Hey! That—! That was… fuck. That wasn’t even meant for you!”
“And that’s how you seduced me.”

“What?!”
“You were cold only to me. Even though I treated you best.”
I stared at him, dumbfounded. Not even the part where he claimed he treated me the best—what really left me speechless was the fact that he fell for me because I was cold only to him?

‘What the fuck is wrong with this guy?’
How the hell did he take that behavior and conclude that I’d been flirting? Like I’d ignored him on purpose to catch his attention? I opened my mouth, determined to clear up this massive misunderstanding.
“Seductive my ass, you fucking psycho! I was cold because I hated your guts!”

But Heejae didn’t so much as blink.
“Exactly. If you were gonna act cold, you should’ve kept at it. Why’d you start liking me behind the scenes?”
“Who said I liked you behind the scenes?!”

“You did. And you started talking about yourself more, too. Your family, your job—why bring that up if you hated me?”
“……”
I was speechless. Again. And that bastard smirked at me with a mixture of irritation and smugness.

“You acted like I could just about catch you if I tried a little harder. You knew I had feelings for you, right?”
That was when it hit me—his gift. The level-cap congratulatory necklace.
Back then, I had proudly shown it off to the clan, fully planning to screw him over. I even told everyone where I got it. And of course, that had reached Shin Heejae’s ears. He found out I’d bragged about getting a gift from him in front of others.

In other words—
‘This bastard stopped listening to anything I said from that point on…’
He literally just tuned me out after that.

Especially since I even called 119 to get him an ambulance… It was no wonder my “I don’t like you” declarations had zero effect.
I finally understood. And it was… devastating.
‘Fuck…’

I brought this entire disaster on myself.
If I’d just kept my mouth shut back then, Heejae would’ve seen me as “some sketchy netkama trying to run from a scandal.” And things wouldn’t have gotten this bad. At the very least, he wouldn’t have shown up outside my house.
Heejae noticed the look on my face and curled his lips upward. That perceptive bastard could tell I had just reached the point of understanding him.

“So, noona. You admit you’re in the wrong, right?”
And frustratingly, I couldn’t say a damn word.
* * *

‘How the hell do I get him off me?’
Still in shock, I returned to my room without eating a bite, sat on the edge of the bed, and agonized over what to do next.
But the more I thought, the deeper the hole felt. Heejae had already made it clear that he “didn’t care if I was a guy.” So even being the same gender wasn’t a viable escape route. Honestly, it would’ve been better if he’d just approached me to troll me or get revenge. But now that he’d formed this warped yet logical misunderstanding…

‘Even if I say it’s because I’m a guy, he’ll just say “then I’ll make it work anyway.”’
With that insane personality of his, he might even double down just to prove a point. Damn it, if only that bastard would enlist in the military or something, I could get a year and a half of peace…
‘Should I tell him my type is “guys doing active duty”…? Ugh, fuck. That doesn’t even make sense.’

I briefly considered the idea of [Forcing Shin Heejae to Enlist], but realistically speaking, there was no way he’d actually listen. And even if he did go off to serve, what if he came back with even stronger feelings?
Then I’d be stuck with him for life…
I shut my eyes tight and decided to shelf that as Plan B.

‘Or maybe… I should use Yuna?’
Heejae definitely looked like the type who’d dated a lot. And since he called me “noona” the moment we met, it’s safe to say he assumed all his previous partners were women too. Plus, the only one currently showing obvious interest in him was Yuna…
‘But… I brought Yuna around back when I was trying to drive him off…’

At the time, I was annoyed by him and brought her along on purpose to piss him off. And now? That bastard’s convinced I was jealous. If I suddenly try to push Yuna onto him, he’s not going to believe a word of it.
The biggest obstacle was that Shin Heejae genuinely liked me. Like, unshakably. He didn’t seem the least bit interested in Yuna.
‘Hyejin… ugh, like that would ever work…’

I thought about setting him up with another woman I knew—but the only one I did know was Hyejin. And if those two met, I’d probably need to intervene before fists flew. Definitely not ideal.
Grabbing my hair in both fists, I started reevaluating my entire life as a friendless loner. And then, another thought popped into my head.
‘They say asking to borrow money is a total turnoff…’

But the problem was, that bastard had money. What if he agreed and then demanded something from me in return? That was a ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) terrifyingly real possibility.
Still, if I asked for something outrageous, maybe it’d make him back off. I added this to Plan B too.
‘What else pisses guys off again…?’

I grabbed my phone and searched: “How to make someone lose feelings for you.”
At the top of the page was a forum post titled:
[My boyfriend lost all feelings for me… No matter how much I apologize, he still wants to break up…]
I clicked it.

Sorry if this is the wrong board ㅠㅠ
I really want to fix things with my boyfriend. I know it’s all my fault ㅠㅠ
We’ve been dating a long time and I love him a lot. Usually we’re great together, but when I get mad, I have this problem—I just start smashing everything around me ㅠㅠ
Last fight, I was in his brand-new car and slammed the door super hard as I got out. He followed me and said, “Can you please calm down? Why are you slamming the door like that?” And I just… snapped. I kicked the car door and scratched it up. ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

He looked totally stunned…
I sobered up later, realized what I did, and sent him a huge text saying I’d pay to fix everything. But he just replied, “Whatever lol.”
He’s not answering calls. I even went to his house, waited outside, but he wouldn’t see me. He just said, “I don’t care. Let’s break up. Get lost.”

Also… I used to hit him sometimes too… just a few slaps when I was annoyed… and now he’s bringing all that up, saying it really hurt and he hated it…
I didn’t hit that hard! I just lost my temper… I really regret it… I can’t stop crying.
What should I do to make things right? ㅠㅠ

Reading the post, I flinched as a memory came back—of when I kicked Heejae’s imported car.

Thinking back, he looked pissed back then…
‘But even after that… instead of losing interest, he… gave me a scarf…’
Just remembering it made me nauseous.

“Agh, fuck…”
I groaned and buried my face in my hands. And right then—
BANG!

The door I had shut flew open, and Shin Heejae strolled right in.
“What are you doing?”
