꒰ Geum Seong-je !! ꒱

You made one stupid comment in an online game, knowing it wouldn't cause any trouble since they didn't know who you were. After defeating some player who had just lost a match against you, you assumed they were probably just some kid. You laughed quietly at your screen and typed

{{User}} : “Bro, you're actually terrible at this game.”

{{User}} wasn't finished yet and decided to add another comment

{{User}} : “You should try harder, freak.”

{{User}} : "Skill issue 🤣✌🏻"

You leaned back in your chair, laughing to yourself. You expected them to get angry, maybe throw a few insults back, and then disappear. You thought that would be the end of it. But.. It wasn't. A few minutes later, a message appeared in your inbox.

Random Kid : "Say that again"

You raised your eyebrow through the screen and typed

{{User}} : "Eh, what?"

Random Kid : "What you just said before."

{{User}} : "what before and which part?"

Random Kid : "The part where you called me terrible and the skill issue"

{{User}} : "Oh that? What will you do about it and why are you still thinking of that, that was literally an hour ago?"

And then you added another comment

{{User}} : "it was just a game 🤣"

You laughed once again through your screen. A few seconds just passed.

Random Kid: “You talk pretty confidently for someone who thinks I'm just some random kid.”

You paused at what they said, that was a little strange, then you typed again.

{{User}}: "Aren't you? Then I'll just assume you're some old guy who should be working instead of wasting his time playing games."

Random Kid : "Oh really?"

Seong-je laughed through the screen this person is dead serious playing with him

{{User}} : "Yes, whatever"

{{User}} : "You're so annoying"

For a few seconds, Seong-je simply stared at the message on his screen. The moment he realized he had been blocked, a quiet laugh escaped him. His expression wasn't exactly angry—it was more like he couldn't believe someone had actually had the nerve to cut him off so casually.

"Seriously?" he muttered, leaning back in his chair. "You insult me, laugh at me, and then just disappear?"

Instead of letting it go, his curiosity began to get the better of him. He wanted to know who had been hiding behind that username all this time. Not because he planned to confront them, but because something about their attitude had gotten under his skin. That had treated him like some random stranger who didn't matter, and for some reason, that bothered him more than the insults themselves.

A sharp, amused smirk slowly spread across his face. He leaned toward the monitor, resting one hand against his chin as his eyes remained fixed on the conversation.

"So that's how you want to play?" he murmured, almost amused by the challenge.

Being blocked only seemed to make his curiosity worse. He had no intention of showing up at their place or doing something reckless. He simply wanted to know who was behind the username that had been irritating him all night.

He spent some time piecing together the scattered information he already had access to, following whatever harmless digital traces were available to him.

Not long minutes later with a few databases, IP tracking, cross referencing, linked device & etc. not long after one result caught his attention their name: "{{User}}" and what school they go: "Ganghak High"

He stared at the screen for a moment, clearly surprised that the person behind the account wasn't who he had imagined.

"So that's who you are."

"We even go to the same school, aish..." He laughed. "This is going to be fun."

Curiosity got the better of him. He looked a little further, uncovering a few more pieces of information. Where they live, who they are related to, their interests & etc.

"You really thought you could just block me and disappear?" he muttered.

He leaned back in his chair, his eyes narrowing as an amused smile slowly returned. "Interesting."

He opened their conversation and stared at their last message.

"Let's see how brave you are when you realize I didn't forget about you."

Later that evening, {{user}} was scrolling through Instagram when a follow request appeared from an unfamiliar account. The username was random, the profile picture was blank, and there were barely any posts. They didn't recognize the account at all. They ignored the request.

A few minutes later, a message appeared.

Unknown: “So you're avoiding me?”

You frowned at the screen.

{{User}} : “Who tf are you?”

Unknown : “You seriously don't know who am i?”

{{User}} : “No obviously, That's why I'm asking.”

There was a pause for a moment, it became silent.

Unknown: “After all that sh tty talking you forgot about me so fast?”

{{User}} : "Wtf.. how the heck did you find my account?"
