└[Anonymous6: (Photo) If you look at the game competition photo from middle school, Bae Sinhyo looks like a PE teacher and his friend looks like an elementary school student;;;]
└[Anonymous7: Where did the photo come from lol The friend happened to really look like a baby lol]
└[Anonymous8: Then what about the person who posted the first exposé?]
└[Anonymous9: The original post was deleted the day Bae Sinhyo’s lawsuit notice went up, probably under investigation now]
└[Anonymous10: Crazy poor guy, he’s just a game nerd with no friends because he looks scary]
└[Anonymous11: He got cursed by the entire nation, quit being a player, dropped out, and went abroad, but if it’s not true… shudder]
└[Anonymous12: So he is a delinquent in the end, right or not? I’ll stay neutral until the results come out^^]
└[Anonymous13: You believe this? tsk tsk If he’s a delinquent, birds of a feather]
There were people who cursed him to the end, but thanks to the classmates who explained presenting clearer evidence, Bae Sinhyo’s injustice was gradually resolved.
Afterwards, when the original accuser posted an apology, Bae Sinhyo’s false accusation was completely cleared.
The fact that the original accuser was a delinquent from the same middle school who had been jealous of Bae Sinhyo was revealed, and SNS real-time trends were dominated by ‘#SinhyoWe’reSorryComeBack’.
Fans hoped he would return someday since his contract with Golden Ball remained, but news of Bae Sinhyo wasn’t heard anywhere.
Thus the Bae Sinhyo school violence controversy was recorded as a representative dark history of the Korean gaming industry.
The gaming community people who had caught Bae Sinhyo like a rat began to rationalize themselves, saying that at the time Bae Sinhyo’s skills were regressing so he deserved to be cursed for his skills.
Then they claimed the problem was the malicious commenter who had bullied Bae Sinhyo from the beginning, and pointed to ‘404NotPax’ as the root of all this.
They stitched together the times when Pyeonghwa left comments and drove the narrative that ‘404NotPax’ was the person who incited public opinion when the Bae Sinhyo school violence controversy exploded.
While Pyeonghwa was holed up in his cave, ‘404NotPax’ became a horned demon on the internet.
“Huh?”
Pyeonghwa, who accessed the game community after a long time, was flustered to see it full of posts cursing him.
It was true that he had been leaving comments belittling Bae Sinhyo’s skills. But when the school violence controversy exploded, he had never agreed with it.
No matter how much he hated Bae Sinhyo, he even bent his pride and contacted Kim Subin to ask for an explanation post……
“These fucking bastards!”
It was unfair. But he knew that making excuses in this situation would be of no use.
People only believe what they want to believe. The truth? That kind of thing doesn’t matter. What’s needed is an excuse to drag someone down.
“Fuck, screw it all!”
Pyeonghwa interlaced his fingers and stretched, then pounded the keyboard. If people thought he was a devil, he would become an even worse monster.
The fighting spirit of immature eighteen-year-old Noh Pyeonghwa, a time millionaire and attention seeker, flared up.
“Elderly person collecting cardboard assault case, okay… Minor fan gaslighting relationship case, hmm, also… Three legs controversy? Okay, sluts are eliminated first.”
He picked out people with dirty histories among famous players besides first and second division pro players.
Pyeonghwa thoroughly dissected their plays and posted analysis articles, and players who couldn’t supplement their weaknesses quickly walked the path to retirement.
Even overseas players couldn’t escape Pyeonghwa’s gaze. 404NotPax’s infamy crossed the Pacific.
As everyone attacked by 404NotPax was branded a criminal, foreign columns about him were even posted.
[Is Pax a malicious commenter? Or a dark hero?]
The term dark hero seemed somehow cool. Even though he didn’t have a shred of a sense of justice, he posted a Batman photo on his profile and went around beating up others even harder.
The more he did so, the more it felt like his worthless existence was being acknowledged.
However……
[What dark hero is Pax fuck Did you forget what he did to Bae Sinhyo?
Author: lilililiiiill
The atmosphere these days has gone crazy praising Pax lol
At first he touched innocent Bae Sinhyo and got cursed to death, now he just changed targets to criminals
Since they’re praising him as a dark hero look how he changed his profile pic to Batman fuck middle school syndrome attention whore bastard
Bae Sinhyo still can’t return but the perpetrator is going around like that, honestly disgusting
Why isn’t the operator suspending Pax’s ID??]
└[Second Half Boss: Who is ‘honestly’?]
└[lilililiiiill: Honestly initial consonants]
└[BaeGodTier: I agree, reporting all the kids who worship god Pax while talking bullshit]
└[Iron King: lol They’re dopamine addicts so, people here just suck up if it’s fun]
└[stan Lee: Pax is fun though crying lol cheers]
└[Constellation’s Teaching: A video about suing Pax went up on NewTube but it’s like a ghost account so even if suspended he keeps coming back and can’t be sued apparently. It’s difficult for individuals and there’s a possibility a company is involved behind it]
└[Conspiracy Theorist: Isn’t it the government trying to destroy Raon? shudder Hunters are fucking flooding over here shudder]
└[SSS-rank Gamer: ;; I at least want to know if Bae Sinhyo is alive or dead]
└[movemove: Pax is definitely a perpetrator to Bae Sinhyo]
└[keepgoing: Batman also seems to mock Bae Sinhyo since they’re both Bae surnames ㅡㅡ]
Whenever Bae Sinhyo’s story came up, Pyeonghwa had to become a sinner again. Pyeonghwa, whose mood was ruined, pouted and changed his Batman profile to a Joker photo.
Pyeonghwa thought he resembled the Joker, tainted with madness from anger at an unfair world. The Joker seemed more middle school syndrome than Batman, but he didn’t know this fact.
“Pyeonghwa-ya, let’s eat with dad after a long time. I bought spicy braised chicken from Saeyoung-ssi’s restaurant.”
Knock knock. Pyeonghwa’s father, Noh Baram, knocked on the door and spoke. Pyeonghwa didn’t want to face him, but the menu selection was too perfect to refuse.
‘Saeyoung-ssi’ was his father’s ex-girlfriend who ran a spicy braised chicken specialty restaurant. She was also the best cook among Pyeonghwa’s many moms.
When Pyeonghwa opened the door and sat in front of the dining table, Noh Baram handed him utensils.
Not only mom-made spicy braised chicken, but also side dishes that Pyeonghwa liked when he was young were plentiful. Pyeonghwa shoveled food into his mouth as if possessed. It felt like his tongue, addicted to delivery food, was being purified.
“Our son, why does it feel like I’m seeing you after such a long time? We met two weeks ago.”
“It was two months ago.”
“Ahaha, really? Our Pyeonghwa grows so much every time I see you! You’ll catch up to dad’s height soon.”
“Are you meeting Saeyoung mom again?”
“Hey, that would be trouble~ Saeyoung-ssi met a good person and got married~ Her daughter is two years old now?”
“……”
It was fortunate that she met another good person and got married, but he was secretly shocked that he didn’t even know that news. She even had a child……
Well, she had no obligation to tell her ex-boyfriend’s son. She had to make a fresh start, so she might have disliked the existence of a child who called her mom when he wasn’t even her own child.
It was himself who cut off the moms first with cold words, but still his eyes stung from hurt feelings.
“Hmm? Why are you suddenly crying?”
“I’m not crying!”
When Noh Baram handed him a tissue, tears poured down. Normally he wouldn’t have cried over something like this, but lately it felt like he would burst if someone just poked him.
In the midst of this, the food was too delicious, so he couldn’t stop munching with his mouth full of food.
“You only grew tall, you’re still a baby. Is mom’s food that delicious?”
“Sniff, yeah……”
“Let’s send a proof shot to Saeyoung-ssi. Kimchi~.”
“Ah, why are you taking it when I’m crying!”
“Cute, cute~.”
Noh Baram sent the photo taken with Pyeonghwa, who looked like his doppelganger, to several people. He sent the photo simultaneously not only to ‘Saeyoung-ssi’ but also to other lovers.
He was angry at him for pretending to be a close father and son to new lovers, but swallowed it down along with the food in his mouth.
“Dad, do you have to touch your phone when eating?”
“Sorry, sorry. I’ve been busy with work lately so I can’t contact my lovers often. So~.”
“At least when you’re with me, let go of your phone.”
Pyeonghwa resented his father who didn’t take his eyes off his phone throughout the meal. Parents in other households strictly educate about touching phones at the dinner table, but Pyeonghwa had never seen him not touch his phone.
He was originally that kind of person, and so he didn’t expect anything. But just for today…… he wanted to escape loneliness at least during this moment of eating with someone.
“……”
“……Mm.”
As Noh Baram put down his phone, only the sound of dishes clinking echoed. Pyeonghwa wasn’t particularly curious about him, and the reverse was also true. As if uncomfortable with that silence, Noh Baram opened his mouth toward Pyeonghwa first.
“Our Pyeonghwa, do you still go to the PC room? With that red-haired friend?”
“Ha, fuck.”
Thud. When Pyeonghwa put down his chopsticks and glared, Noh Baram scratched the back of his head awkwardly.
Pyeonghwa stood up abruptly from his seat and walked toward the water purifier, stomping his feet. He felt like he needed to drink cold water enough to make his head ring to relieve his frustrated insides.
