[Heejae]
[noona why did you leave the clan?]
[are you quitting??]
[did i do something wrong?]
After reading this far, my hands trembled, and about 5 minutes later, Shin Heejae sent a message that revealed his true nature.
[Heejae]
[I didn’t do anything wrong though…ㅇ_ㅇ??]
[Heejae]
[this is so annoying, what are you doing??]
[why aren’t you answering the phone?]
[Heejae]
[did something happen?]
About 10 minutes later, as expected, the real threat began when I did not answer all the questioning messages, which looked more like questions posed by a killer.
[Heejae]
[noona lolol unless there’s been an accident]
[you’re killing me]
[Heejae]
[are you joking?]
[Heejae]
[should i go find you?]
Of course, I knew that Shin Heejae was only talking like that and wouldn’t actually come. Because I never gave him my address. So I knew everything he was saying was a bluff but……. I shuddered deep down for no reason.
It was because of Shin Heejae’s crazy personality that I had experienced. I felt an unrealistic sense of fear, as if he would come to my house and ring the doorbell one day.
[Heejae]
[noona please call me by tomorrow]
[otherwise i’m really going to go look for you]
[lolol don’t tell me you’re relieved just because you never gave me your address?]
I held my breath for a moment when I saw that message, but I soon consoled myself.
It’s all nonsense.
In the first place, I played with Shin Heejae for less than two months. He had never heard my voice before……. So after reading the last message from Shin Heejae, I did not reply at all.

Are you sure you want to block ‘Shin Heejae’?
“…….”
In the end, I finally blocked Shin Heejae.
I knew that I had to get found out as a guy so everything would finish cleanly, but looking at Shin Heejae’s persistent attitude, it had the spirit that even if I told him I was a man, he would have to see my face to believe me.
However, I didn’t have any thought of meeting Shin Heejae, or making excuses, so I decided that it was right to end it like this.
‘Is it really the end now…….’
When I saw the phone that became quiet, I felt a complicated, subtle feeling. It felt like I had put down a large burden, but I also wanted to unblock Shin Heejae and chat with him again.
But soon, I decided not to. Lastly, I deleted all the details of the chat conversations I had exchanged with Shin Heejae and turned off the app.
“This is what I should do……”
Shin Heejae will likely be angry for a few weeks, but his anger would decrease by bit when he finds out I even deleted my character and left the game completely.
“It’s not like there’s no one around either….. If I ignore him along with the clan members, his interest will probably wither.”
Thinking positively, I tried to calm my creeping anxiety.
So in order to not think about Shin Heejae, during the week, I worked hard and on weekends, I would sleep whenever I had a headache. ‘Not thinking deeply’ worked quite well.
So……, it’s just for 2 weeks.
That is, until Shin Heejae really showed up in front of me.
* * *
“There’s nothing to watch…….”
On my way home, I was looking at Youtube in the parking lot. Now that I had even stopped playing the game, I wanted to get back to my senses and gather some money and look at clearing my debts, so I searched up “Paying off debt” and was looking at videos here and there.
But, all of the sudden, at the bottom of the video I was watching, the thumbnail of Shin Heejae’s Youtube channel popped up.
Frost and Flame Claymore First Clearㅡ What happens when Shin Heejae plays seriously lolol
3,248 views
Only uploaded 4 hours ago, it was a new video.
It wasn’t like anyone was even watching over me, but I scanned my surroundings before pressing the video. A few days ago I did recieve a message from [Arcadia] saying that it had been updated with a new dungeon, but it was my first time seeing it myself.
The thumbnail was of a giant snowman sprawled on the ground with a [x_x] expression beside heejae’s character, drawn in chibi style, and it seemed like that monster was the boss of the new dungeon.
And in the video, Shin Heejae, who was the first person to grab the boss, unbelievably, knocked it down without losing aggro once. As I watched him calmly progress without even getting his ankles caught by the freezing large scale magic, while I thought he was amazing…….
.
“…….”
Strangely, I felt a little irritated.
How should I say it, even if Shin Heejae threatened to come find me, I didn’t fully believe it. But again, looking at this, as if saying ‘i didn’t get hurt by your words at all~’, without an expression any different from usual, there was a certain sense of anger.
In fact, the act of youtube videos uploading regularly according/matching the schedule was also a little shocking…… so, it was because ‘maybe he won’t upload for a month?’ useless wondering. No one knew but, the me who had worried for no reason felt like i had become a fool.
“As expected……, he’s having fun.”
So from thereon, I coolly folded my arms and just watched him play.
However, as I watched the video, it didn’t appear a few times because it was cut off a lot, but the healing that Heejae’s current backup was giving seemed somewhat familiar. To be exact, the staff they were holding was familiar.
“No way……?”
There was no way it would happen, but I looked closely at the direction the healer’s skills were flying from. And, I was shocked as soon as I checked the nickname of the healer, which had appeared briefly.
[Yoona]
Yoona, who had bought my staff, was working together as a duo with Shin Heejae.
I didn’t have any clue how Yoona, who was from a different server, was clearing the new dungeon with Shin Hee-jae, so I just watched open-mouthed.
Then, after the video ended, it occurred to me in a flash how the situation happened and roughly what was going on.
“……me being a guy, he must have found out…….”
So, possibly, Shin Heejae would find out both that I vanished just like that, and the weapon he had given to me all came back to him.
Then he would check the deposit of 18 million won, and figure out that the one unreturned weapon was sold. And, he would have asked around.
Would he have not checked who bought that staff? And just as Yoona is a famous user for showing off their money and items, the rumors would have spread as quickly… then, there was no way that Yoona wouldn’t realize that the staff they held in their hand was the one that he had given me.
“It could be that he knew from the start, who knows……”
Quite a few rankers know and spend time with each other. Even if they weren’t on familiar terms, if even only one bridge was crossed, most people would know about the situation.
Moreover, Shin Heejae is the most famous ranker in [Arcadia], so it was even stranger if he and Yoona didn’t know each other. I didn’t know if I had maybe delayed even longer, I might have been caught by Shin Heejae before I even sold the staff.
Well, anyway…….
If the two talked about the staff and Shin Heejae told them that that staff was hacked, Yoona would happily hand over the ID information I gave them and leave it at that.
As much as large amounts of money come and go, I had no choice and showed the picture attached to my ID as well, and Shin Heejae would know the phone number I sent to Yoona as well. Then, after Shin Heejae finds out I’m a man…….
“…….”
Without even having to think hard about it, he must have gone ‘He was a netkama? No wonder…….’ and would have definitely stopped chasing.
‘Then did he chase Yoona as a netkama and get close to them? While chewing on me…….’
On the video, after checking Yoona’s [Rolling] clan mark they were wearing, my mood fell down to the bottom.
In the meantime, I did want Shin Heejae to shake everything off and go along well somewhat. In the first place, I did have enough of a guilty conscience to return the 18 million won to him.
However, just after finishing quite the convincing reasoning, I saw the unpleasant sight of Shin Heejae and Yoona saying the new dungeon was good as they tore through it.
I calmly pressed [Do not recommend], [Report], [Do not recommend this channel] one by one and then in the replies, I clicked ‘recommend’ to every comment cursing Shin Heejae, then turned off youtube.
“Should I at least go eat chicken.”
After that, to soothe my empty stomach, I was about to turn on the food delivery app.
Suddenly, I remembered the gift coupon that Shin Heejae gave me. Originally I was going to refund and deposit the coupon into his bank account too, but since I returned the 18 million anyway, couldn’t I eat this chicken? I thought. It was also annoying to see it every time I went into the gift section too.
“Let’s use it all.”
I made up my mind and went to a local branch where gift coupon use was applicable. For some reason, I wanted to eat something spicy, so I ordered Volcano something, which was what looked like the spiciest thing among what he had sent me.
Like that, holding a chicken box and a pack of beer that cost 10,000 won for four at a convenience store, I was on the way back home. In the intersection alley in front of my house, I saw a slim white Audi I had never seen before.
“Expensive cars are obvious just by looking at the wheels…….”
I glanced sideways at the Audi and looked at the wheels. As I got closer, looking at the designs of the other cars, I was curious about the exact model name, but it wasn’t like I could afford it so I just envied it and passed by.
As I hurried past the car, I heard a small ‘takㅡ’ noise of a car door closing, but I didn’t look back. This was because while slowly walking up the hill, my head was full of thoughts only about eating chicken.
So when I finally arrived at my house, even as I went down from the front door to the semi-basement of the multiplex, I never noticed that someone was following me.
As such, it was when I was carelessly putting in the password for my front door lock.
“Seyoung noona.”
“……What?”
Feeling goosebumps at the familiar voice, I turned my head. And there stood a man blocking the stairs with a strange expression, with the corners of his mouth turned up.
When I looked at the face of the man who had just called my name, I immediately knew who he was. And, at the same time I remembered, I couldn’t help but open my eyes wide with astonishment.
The photo I had seen before at least showed signs of youngness, but there was no trace of cuteness in any part on the face of the man wrapped in backlight. His lines were sharper compared to the photo, and I felt considerable pressure from his expression of ridicule.
Hoping it wasn’t true, trembling, I called his name.
“……Shin, Shin Heejae?”
“Seems like it’s really noona?””
Of course, that was the wrong decision.
I closed my mouth too late, but Shin Heejae had already walked down the stairs slowly and was completely face to face with me. Even if he stepped on the same ground, he was taller than me, so I had no choice but to raise my head.
I was unable to guess how Shin Heejae felt as he looked down at me with a smile. No, I’m sure he was in a dirty mood, but his smiling made it hard to tell.
With that unmoving expression, he looked at me. Then, his sight soon stopped at the chicken box I was holding. Only then did my face turn red with shame as I realized I bought it with the gift coupon Shin Heejae had given me.
“Hah…”
After seeing my expression, he chuckled and asked.
“Noona, are you actually crazy?
