Netkama Punch!!!

What Sim Woohyun said that day stuck to a corner of my mind and never left.
Because of it, there were times I wanted to corner nuna and press her for answers.
But people believe only what they want to believe—until undeniable proof is shoved in their face.
And I was no exception.

PSesam: You said hugs heal emotional woundsㅡㅡ
PSesam: Disgusting. Regret saying it
When I told her I didn’t have parents, she freaked out and tried to comfort me awkwardly—I believed that.

PSesam: They’re alive, but I don’t talk to them
PSesam: Life’s about being alone anyway
I believed her when she talked about her family for the first time.

WSesam: Shin Heejae
WSesam: Lend me your staff for a sec
WSesam: I swear!! If I don’t return it… I’ll marry you
She cussed me out like she wanted me dead, but the moment someone else talked down to me, she defended me clumsily—I believed in that too.
Nuna lulled me into letting my guard down with painfully obvious gestures.
So I ended up deluding myself—thinking she pushed me away not because she didn’t like me, but because she didn’t know how to deal with someone who liked her.
That’s why I stopped pressuring her.
It just felt like a matter of time before we’d meet.

“Maybe she’s not confident in her looks?”
I started thinking stuff like that.
No profile pics, super private, avoided exposure.
Maybe she felt burdened by the idea of meeting up.
I could think that way because she was spending more and more time with me.
She’d talk about work without being asked, or tell me what she ate that day—little things like that.
It was a huge step forward compared to the beginning.
We were getting so close, it didn’t even feel weird that we hadn’t met.

And then one day—
Whispers – General Party Clan Chat
PSesam: Hey
PSesam: What if
PSesam: The person you thought was a girl
PSesam: Turned out to be a guy.
PSesam: How would you feel?

Out of nowhere, nuna hit me with this serious question.
And right as I read it, Sim Woohyun’s words came to mind, and my mood tanked.
But nuna followed it up with something unexpected.
Whispers – General Party Clan Chat
PSesam: So... I actually got played by a netkama before
PSesam: We got close because I thought they were a girl…
PSesam: But it was a guy…
So before she met me, she’d been burned badly by someone she met online.
That must’ve been why she was reluctant to meet up.

Only then did I start to understand her behavior.
‘What a psycho… I’d kill that bastard if I could.’
I cursed the loser who’d faked his gender and tried to show nuna I was different.

“I’m not one of those freaks, okay?”
She didn’t seem impressed, but the fact that she brought it up at all…
meant she trusted me. At least a little.
‘Maybe… maybe we really will meet soon?’

I got swept up in [N O V E L I G H T] the fantasy.
But then, the next evening—nuna suddenly went cold.
And it wasn’t because I teased her or because of something bad at work.
“Nuna, what are you doing? You’re just standing there on Sesam. Are you AFK?”

Just a normal, casual question. But she didn’t respond for a long time.

NSesam: I was sleeping
NSesam: Going back to sleep
NSesam: Don’t call me

Just like that, she cut off the conversation and logged out of the game.
Every message I sent after that went unread.
What the hell, you just left all of a sudden
Did something bad happen?
I tried to ask gently, just to figure out what was going on.
But no reply.
I was getting more and more down.
I went over everything I’d said, but nothing stood out.

Did I do something wrong… ㅇ_ㅇ
I seriously don’t get it… ㅇ_ㅇ
Can you give me a pass just once? lol
She didn’t even read the messages I sent half-jokingly.
Nuna
Seyoung-ah
Hey

Even when I called her by name like a punk—nothing.
I’m kind of confused by how suddenly you snapped…
There must be a reason, right? Please hit me up when you feel better
In the end, all I could do was wait for her to contact me again.

But before even an hour passed, I pathetically dropped another line.
Nuna, are you sick?
Because at that point, I really hoped she was.
If she was sick, then at least this wouldn’t be my fault.
At least it wouldn’t mean she hated me or that something was wrong with me.

But as always—bad instincts never fail.

“…….”

When I saw that text the next morning, I didn’t even know what had happened—
but I could tell something was over.
CYeou: Guild master
Sesam-nim just suddenly left the clan… what happened? ㅠㅠ
CSim Woohyun: Yo, did she dump you?

CHooha: Sesam-nim quit the clan without a word… do you know what’s going on?
Just from the messages pouring in from clanmates, it was obvious—
Nuna had wiped her account and ghosted.
I read every message and ignored them all.
Then I called her number.

[……The person you are trying to reach is unavailable……]
Of course, I didn’t really think the call would go through.
But even knowing that, I couldn’t stop calling.
Then I saw that she’d read the messages I sent yesterday—so I fired off another one.

Nuna, why did you quit the clan?
Are you quitting the game??
Did I do something wrong?
My fingers started shaking so hard I had to clench my fists and open them again.
I didn’t do anything wrong… ㅇ_ㅇ??
Seriously, what the hell are you doing??
Why aren’t you picking up?
Did something happen??

As I sent the messages, I booted up my PC.
I clicked the [Arcadia] icon and logged in.
I needed to confirm it for myself.
I tried my best to suppress the rising dread in my chest, but I failed.
Unless you were in an accident or something
I swear to God I’ll kill you
Are you messing with me?
I’m coming for you

I regretted it right after sending it, but she still hadn’t read any of it.
And the moment I logged in, the first notification that popped up was:
[Your divorce with ‘Sesam’ has been finalized.]

“…Ha.”
I closed the alert with a bitter flick and headed straight to my mailbox.
But it was already overflowing with mail timestamped from the day before.

WYeou: Heejae-nim
WLemonzzup: Guild master, why did Sesam-nim leave??
WHooha: Guild master…
WUrara: Hey
Even after logging in, the clan members wouldn’t stop messaging me—
but I ignored them all and clicked on the character select screen.
I picked [Heenyang], right under [Heejae].
You’ve received new mail!
You’ve received new mail!
You’ve received new mail!

Just as I expected, as soon as I logged in, my mailbox was stuffed with all the gear nuna had returned.
Everything—except the staff I’d lent her.
Only now did I understand what that ₩18,000,000 deposit meant.
She had cut ties with everything related to me—cleanly and completely.
So clean it was almost insulting.

“…….”
The moment I realized that, a sharp pain pierced through my chest—unlike anything I’d ever felt.
Was this anger?

I started backing up our chat history and Discord logs.
I scrolled through everything slowly.
But nowhere in any of it was there a sign—no warning, no hint.
She was always curt when she typed, so even the last message she sent me yesterday… felt completely normal.
And that “completely normal” tone—
that’s what finally made me snap.

Nuna, please contact me by tomorrow
If you don’t, I really will come find you
You’re not seriously thinking you’re safe just ’cause you never gave me your address, right?
I sent it like a threat, but inside, I felt like I was drowning.
Not because I was angry—
but because I was completely, utterly lost.
And more than anything else, the thing that made me feel the most pathetic—

Was that even after digging through our whole conversation like a madman,
I realized I didn’t know anything about her.
Not even two lines’ worth.
The only meaningful info I had was her name and her phone number.

I thought we’d grown close through all those chats.
But it was all just me.
I was the one who opened up.
I was the one who gave and revealed everything.
She knew I was a streamer.
She could reach out to me anytime, even if I didn’t call.
But Kim Seyoung—
all she had to do was ignore my calls, and she could erase me like I was nothing.
Only then did it finally sink in.

You never once opened your heart to me.
You were just waiting for the right chance to disappear without a trace.
Weren’t you?
