nothing.
pls don't forget to add ? to 네 when you use it as 'pardon'.
otherwise, it sounds as 'yes' you know.

@sgt_ ok thank you for telling me that. I guess the using 네? is a way to make it clear in writing? but what about speech do you use facial expressions and change the tone a bit?

@Itz_Rachelzzzz
yes for the writing,
and the tone/pitch of voice goes up like when you ask a question.
