Shin Heejae, not knowing how I felt, tried to meet with me more persistently after the siege.

Honestly, I wasn’t sure of myself.  Originally, I planned on just taking Shin Heejae’s staff and ditching, right?

But……. Even though the staff was in my hands,  I regularly logged into the game. While criticizing that Shin Heejae bastard, who I couldn’t even reason with, we played together. 28grYw

“Have I really become fond of this bastard?”

While asking this, I got angry again because I wasn’t able to deny it right away.  Now, instead of being mad at Shin Heejae,  I felt more ashamed of myself. 

Even the act of Shin Heejae not asking me to return the staff, was probably him letting it go because he trusted me.

Then, even if it was right to shit on that trust, every day, I just log on and play with Shin Heejae. L3qI84

The clan members also know that Shin Heejae and I are dating online, and I can’t exactly deny it either……. It was this kind of slow situation.

Unable to do this and that, should I say it felt like I was being held tight. Getting really stressed, and feeling a longing to do something…….

But, it seemed like that was the problem. I felt like even if he was a bit less funny, he would still be able to stand out right away.  Should I say, it’s fun… While I criticize him, I’m also curious about what kind of things he’s going to say.

“No…….. What am I curious about? Am I crazy?”

I suddenly came to my senses. 12eNDR

Shin Heejae didn’t seem to mind. I was taken aback by his ridiculously confident attitude.

No, should I really go meet him? I let it slide because I thought he’d startle if he knew I was a man. But this bastard……. GrEQdT

While muttering about it, I tried imagining meeting Shin Heejae.  I thought about what expression he would make when he saw me.

My mood fell as I thought of a contorted, handsome face. It wasn’t pleasant. More than anything, this guy wouldn’t just frown. 9n1kbQ

“I feel like he’d hit me at least twice…..”

And when I imagined the situation, Shin Heejae was bigger than me.

Everyone // Party // Clan // Friend // Whisper

[Party] [Sesam: hey] YcMqAG

[Party] [Heejae: yeah?]

[Party] [Sesam: are you good at fighting? ㅎ]

[Party] [Heejae: ㅇ_ㅇ?]

[Party] [Heejae: i’m the best in arcadia ㅇ.ㅇv] woN9dM

[Party] [Sesam: no asshole are you good at fighting not the game]

[Party] [Heejae: in order to be the best in arcadia there are some things I have to give up… ㅇ_ㅇ ]

[Party] [Sesam: lolol]

  dUakMm

 

Shin Heejae’s silly answer made me laugh a little, but soon I straightened my expression and slapped myself on the cheeks. Lately, the control of my facial muscles have been loosened because of responding to such ridiculous words.

Anyway……. By the way Shin Heejae said it, I gained a little courage. In a joking tone, I brought up the main point that I wanted to ask him.

Everyone // Party // Clan // Friend // Whisper X01hkO

[Party] [Sesam: hey]

[Party] [Sesam: if]

[Party] [Sesam: the person you thought was a woman was a man]

[Party] [Heejae:  ?ㅇ_ㅇ] VvMYri

[Party] [Sesam: then how would you feel]

[Party] [Heejae: whats that ㅇ.ㅇ]

 

  xQH4ZO

However, I wasn’t ready to suddenly explain why to Shin Heejae yet.  I couldn’t answer and stuttered, then managed to squeeze out a new story.

Everyone // Party // Clan // Friend // Whisper

[Party] [Sesam: i mean… i… got tricked by a netkama once?]

[Party] [Heejae: a netkama?] kcmBjy

[Party] [Sesam: yeah…]

[Party] [Sesam: we became close because he said he was a girl….]

[Party] [Sesam: he was a man…..]

  QrqmOi

 

It was a good and plausible made-up story. However, Shin Heejae, who had been listening until now, suddenly turned on the microphone and asked me something.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

“So that’s why you asked me if I was good at fighting?”

  PhaYv3

 

Everyone // Party // Clan // Friend // Whisper

[Party] [Sesam: huh?]

  WYLkwn

 

“To ask me to punch him?”

 

“No, you crazy bastard!” 4VjoZN

I answered with a straight face.

[Party] [Sesam: no what are you talking about]

[Party] [Sesam: why are you punching all the sudden?] di0yjX

 

 

“No, you said he pretended to be a woman and tricked you. Isn’t he a perverted bastard.” 

  8IPZUO

“…….”

“Noona, possibly, you aren’t saying you won’t meet me because of that guy, right?”

As I blankly listened to Shin Heejae’s anger at virtual netkamas, strangely, I fell into a very bad mood. nDgKCb

What do you mean, they’re perverted bastards?…… no, it’s not like I did it because I wanted to be a netkama, you were the one following me first while calling noona, noona, alone…..

As I made regretful excuses internally while not knowing who I was making them to,  Shin Heejae, who was unaware of my mood, started getting ahead on his own. Well, him saying I could go download my citizen ID card was just nonsense…. In the end, Shin Heejae added something with a dry nuance.

“Noona. I can prove it. It’s embarrassing. But….., If noona wants it, well…. I can also show you everything.

[Party] [Sesam: ?]

I thought for a moment about what he was saying, and then my anger flared up.

[Party] [Sesam: sh*t if you try sending a picture of your p*pper? report immediately]

[Party][Heejae: lololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololol] s48wMi

[Party] [Sesam: are you really ♡♡?]

[Party] [Sesam: ☆☆☆☆r]

 

  6CE7Fs

Even as I was typing a bunch of swears, Shin Heejae’s muffled laughter over the microphone didn’t stop.

With a constantly laughing voice, the guy spoke to me as I was shaking and writing swear words.

“No….. what exactly are you imagining, noona?”

“I was just talking about my face……, that’s it. Haa.” GQsfCB

 

Again, as if he was full of laughter, Shin Heejae giggled endlessly. Then he clacked and started another quarrel in the chat.

Everyone // Party // Clan // Friend // Whisper

[Party] [Heejae: seyoung-ah i’m big ㅎ] M7Oc1I

[Party] [Heejae: my height ㅎㅎ]

[Party] [Sesam: block complete]

[Party] [Heejae: lolololololololololololololololololololololololololol]

[Party] [Heejae:ㅇ.ㅇlolol] VABToS

[Party] [Heejae: i can’t even say that big things are big…]

 

 

I realized that Shin Heejae wanted to slowly come out and make dirty jokes. I decided to beat him right away. Shit, do I have to play games now while making sex jokes with this bastard? 4nhMZx

Everyone // Party // Clan // Friend // Whisper

[Party] [Sesam: lolol among the bastards who claim that they’re big, there weren’t any big ones?]

[Party] [Heejae: so you should have met me first, seyoung-ah ㅎ]

[Party] [Sesam: die dont speak bullshit] dejq1J

[Party] [Heejae: now i understand why seyoung is always angry……]

[Party] [Heejae: it’s because you met a small man noonaㅎㅎ]

Please support our translators at chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

[Party] [Sesam: i think you’re the smallest man i’ve ever met]

[Party] [Heejae: hm lolololololololol] 48EQdM

 

 

As Shin Heejae laughed, the conversation ended like that. But unlike before, I felt dirty.

“Shin Heejae.., shit. He’s gotta be bluffing, right? 7xXVCd

I couldn’t control my irritation and blocked his character. Then I moved to another village, but Shin Heejae followed me right away. He turned on the microphone and spoke.

“No, what is this block?”

 

“Die… you’re really going to be sentenced to death by your remarks today, you punk.”  Ey9RSD

“Hm. But, noona, are you not going to tell me more about that netkama?”

 

“…….”

“I said I’m not like that pervert?” KQHSrL

 

Everyone // Party // Clan // Friend // Whisper

[Party] [Sesam: just before, the person all fired up about their p*pper was who?]

  42iOMe

 

I said it as a way to tell him to please shut up, but Heejae tactlessly replied while giggling.

“That word is too lewd.”

  VDiCdI

This bastard really must have a sexual obsession….”

I logged out, convinced of his illness. I felt that if I hung out with him more, he would tell me things I didn’t want to know.

However, as soon as I turned off Discord and the game, I got a phone call from Shin Heejae. I didn’t answer the phone and turned on ‘no disturbance mode’.

Shin Heejae whined on messenger soon after the phone call was automatically rejected. uiFQdl

[Heejae]

[noona]

[seyoung-ah ㅇ.ㅇ]

[lolololololololololololololol ah come back] 7iDQ3N

[i wont do it anymore]

[Heejae]

[no, but noona said something dirty first ㅇ_ㅇ…]

I read his message and tried to think it over, but I couldn’t just let go of his disgusting act of shifting the blame. hTDLOt

[Me]

[damn you lolol that’s what it seems like because you always think about that kind of stuff]

[Heejae]

[lolololololololololololololololololololololololololol] AGpa4L

[admitted]

Before I could curse more, Shin Heejae admitted it, so I lost the will to criticize him. Unsurprisingly, Shin Heejae was an antisocial pervert. Even if I fought with a guy like this, I, as a normal person, couldn’t win.

“No, but I really feel dirty.”

When Shin Heejae kept calling “noona, noona” I didn’t really think much of it. But I felt a bit through this conversation, that I wouldn’t know if this bastard was using me as a side dish….. No way, with the hand picture I sent…. hHi9fA

“If this guy knew I was a man, really, he’d be shocked.….”

I tried to laugh, but my frowned brow didn’t ease up.

Translator's Note

Seyoung planned to be a netkama to get revenge, which is why he’s telling himself he’s supposed to betray Heejae’s trust

Translator's Note

Misogamist – someone who hates/is against marriage

Translator's Note

a “기생 man-like face’ – 기생 are quite similar to japanese geisha.
The context pretty much means that Shin Heejae is handsome, but you can read further if you’d like:


기생 were women of the lowest status (commoner/천민) that often worked as entertainers through singing, dancing, or other methods, but also dealt with medicine, needle work, etc. There were different tiers – 일패, 이패, 삼패.
(*기생 =/= prostitute/courtesan! – despite the stereotype, sexual services were actually illegal for a while, and the accepted idea is that such services were usually forced by higher class men – a very big example is 연산군’s reign.)
Despite their class, 기셍 were better educated than most people, and generally respected due to their skills.

Unfortunately the majority of the art, dance, songs, poetry, etc. of the 기생 have been lost due to S. Korea’s history of annexation, war, etc.. The government were against women having so much independence later on too, which didn’t help.

Translator's Note

Editor’s note: The author assumes you remember that Seyoung is saying these lines out loud in response to Heejae, however his microphone is not on and Shin Heejae has not heard his voice.  He is only communicating by typing in the game, and through Discord. It’s become a bit difficult to edit without adding to the story.  So please just keep this in your mind as you read further in the story.

T/N: yeah, he’s just talking to himself, he tends to do that.

Translator's Note

the moment i realized what kind of slang i would have to search up

Translator's Note

Chili pepper – slang for penis

Translator's Note

mechanical keyboard typing

Translator's Note

To clarify, the ‘lewd’ word is “fired up/풀발”, not “p*pper”(tho both are). 풀발 is a very specific sexual slang term in some cases.

Translator's Note

Multiple meanings in this context, whether as a side partner or a ‘boost’

Translator's Note

Poor seyoung being enlightened in these conversations… Anyway, sorry for the late upload! Car tires went out and my editor lost power too

  1. I have an ad below the text about ‘ wek prepersa’ and I read it as ‘weak p*pper’ 🤣🤣🤣 damn u ‘noona’

  2. Gosh, he got finally on the train of maybe liking his enemy and now he starts feeling all bad about being a noona. Just confess it all! I’m sure he loves you too, even if you are a netkama. 😁

  3. Nah don’t worry about late updates, I lost power too so perfect timed update 👍

    Also pls seyoung and heejae making dirty jokes at each other is the funniest, I love them, they’re so funny. I wonder when they’ll meet, seyoung seems to want to withdraw the netkama act soon

  4. Seyoung is so cute, getting riled up so easily at everything Heejae says >< Anyw I’m really curious to know what his reaction to Seyoung’s actual gender will be!!

    Guessing from the tl notes, I’m assuming Seyoung unintentionally speaks while on call or with mic on???

    Thanks for the chapter! <3

    • Yes. As you’ll notice the author is not descriptive in saying things like. “Blah blah blah” I responded to his comment in my head. So it was getting dicey for me to edit without adding descriptors. So like all “sane” gamers who talk out loud but have no mics, Seyoung is conversation is pretty on point to Heejae’s vocal questions. So I wanted to remind that he has not hearing Seyoung “dialogue” with himself.

  5. Idk if it’s me but the way the author writes dialogue is quite confusing for me, maybe it’s because there aren’t any indicators of who it is but sometimes I get em mixed up.

    Thanks for the chapter! 🌸
