The Crazy Woman Acts Too Well - Chapter 288

Saaaaaaa!

My mind grows hazy, my vision blurs.

Yang Harin saw various illusions in the meantime, but their exact forms weren't identifiable. Only after a long while did they begin to appear faintly like a revolving lantern.

Or, would calling it a revolving lantern be a bit odd?

'These are all things I've never experienced.'

Revolving lanterns usually show things you've experienced, right? But this is different. Things she hadn't experienced popped up one by one, revealing their forms.

For example, the image of a TV that just appeared before my eyes.

Some news was playing.

[Lee Sua starring in 'Crescendo From Tomorrow' is a hot topic these days. Meanwhile, regarding ■■■, who plays the role of Kim Yoonkyung... ■■■■■■]

'Huh?'

Yang Harin flinched here.

She didn't know why, but the premise that 'this is not an illusion, but the real future' had somehow flowed into her mind. Thanks to that, it felt like she was really seeing the future?

'What is that news saying right now? I have to hear it.'

Yang Harin strained her ears.

She couldn't help it. The result of 'Crescendo From Tomorrow'? She couldn't help but be desperately curious.

Was the highlight scene shooting successful? Was it a hit? What happened to me afterward?

[Due to ■■■■, ■■■■■ …. ]

'I can't hear it well... Please let me hear it….'

Yang Harin perked up her ears, but it was meaningless. Sadly, the short illusion didn't let her hear anything.

Poof!

When she came to her senses, Yang Harin was in an unfamiliar place.

"...Huh?"

Where is this? At that moment when Yang Harin thought.

"You've arrived."

"Ugh!"

Yang Harin was surprised without realizing it because there was a greeting that she suddenly heard. The next word was obvious.

"W-who are you?"

She couldn't guess the identity of the other party at all. The other party had deeply pressed down the hood that was dragging on the floor to the point where their face was not visible at all.

"You can think of me as a guide to this space."

"A guide to this space? Ah, right, what exactly is this space? What exactly happened to me?"

"You don't need to think about too many things. You just need to know that you can see your future in this space."

"...I can see the future?"

"Yes, I know your future very well."

A space where you can see the future, a person who knows your future... The reaction people would have when they heard up to this point was set. Yang Harin said right away.

"Show me right away. My future."

"Well."

"What's with that reaction? You made it sound like you were going to show me."

"I can show you, but I recommend not seeing it. Your future is really terrible."

But unfortunately, humans are creatures that want to see more when they hear that their future is terrible.

Yang Harin asked.

"What? Terrible? Just how is it?"

"You won't regret it?"

"I won't. Show me right away."

"...Okay, then follow me."

The guide started walking ahead, and Yang Harin swallowed hard before starting to chase.

Should I not see it? Would it be better not to see it? No, I don't even know if this is a lie or the truth, so it's better to take a look first. I can just not believe it. But what if the reality is too cruel and it's really my future....

...With a feeling like her head was about to explode.

.

The place Yang Harin arrived at, chasing after the guide, was a space with a mirror. The mirror was quite big. Harin unconsciously associated it with a very large wall-mounted TV.

Poof!

Huh? Soon she had the thought that it might actually be a wall-mounted TV. A completely different landscape began to appear in the mirror. The guide opened their mouth.

"See? First of all, the highlight shooting itself ends."

"Isn't that a good thing?"

"Is it really? Look at the people's expressions."

Yang Harin examined the faces of the 'Crescendo From Tomorrow' production team through the mirror. They certainly aren't all bright.

She couldn't help but tilt her head.

"Why are everyone's expressions like that?"

"It's because they said OK even though your acting was bad. They feel sorry that they misunderstood you regarding the hospitality controversy. The production team couldn't really complain and gave the OK sign because of that feeling."

"What..."

Yang Harin pursed her lips with a look as if she wanted to say something, but there was no time to do that.

The mirror screen quickly switched around.

The guide said.

"As the fact that the hospitality controversy was different from the truth is revealed, 'Crescendo From Tomorrow' reaps promotional effects in reverse, and achieves fairly good results."

"That's a relief. That's really a relief…."

Yang Harin was relieved.

The sight of audiences lining up at the movie theater to go see 'Crescendo From Tomorrow' was too ideal.

But that feeling wasn't long-lasting.

"Yang Harin, is it really a relief?"

"What?"

"'Crescendo From Tomorrow' achieved fairly good results means, in other words, that it didn't become a huge hit and slipped down. The reason for that is…."

Poof!

The scenery that the mirror was showing disappeared completely and suddenly played its inherent role as a mirror.

It reflected the face of Yang Harin, who was standing there blankly.

The guide said.

"It's you. The reason is you."

"…."

"Because the acting of the other actors was excellent, your terrible acting stands out, and all the audience members curse at you together. Is it only the audience members? It's the same for the people involved. They all say that if it wasn't for Yang Harin, they could have achieved slightly higher results."

At the same time, the mirror began to show a nightmare-like landscape again. It's as the guide said.

The audiences who were evaluating 'Crescendo From Tomorrow' cursed at Yang Harin without exception, and the people involved who gathered in the smoking room listed all the things that were disappointing about Yang Harin.

─Isn't Yang Harin too disappointing?

─Disappointing. Of course, it's disappointing. But what can we do? We feel sorry that we suspected her when she was having a hard time with the controversy, so we can't scold her for her acting now….

─It's like the emperor's new clothes….

"…."

Yang Harin's feelings became complicated as she watched all the situations. The story that the work stopped and couldn't move forward because of herself, she couldn't help but feel gloomy.

It was like she forcibly played the role of an anchor on a ship that had to sail the sea. She felt a tremendous amount of guilt.

"Why? Are you shocked? Can't say anything?"

It was at that time that the guide opened their mouth.

"It's too early to despair. Your misfortune is only just beginning. I haven't even shown you the real thing yet."

"…."

"I can stop now if you want?"

"...Show me."

Yang Harin shook her head.

That was her future. No matter how unpleasant the scene unfolded, she was curious and couldn't help but see it.

Because it was her future, and no one else's.

Fizz!

Yang Harin muttered, looking at the mirror.

"Am I starting my reclusive life again? Am I going to be trapped in my room and not come out?"

"No? You don't give up."

Yang Harin couldn't see the guide's face, but she could sense that the guide had a mischievous smile. After that, the mirror showed a bright scene.

It was Yang Harin training hard in the practice room.

However.

"1 year, 2 years, 3 years…."

It's long.

It was too long.

The period of time that Yang Harin was concentrating only on practice without achieving any particular results was too long. It's already been 3 years.

"You don't give up, and not giving up becomes a problem. You try to overcome everything with practice, but it's not easy. For as long as 5 years, you only get minor roles, and people completely forget you."

"...Is that the end?"

"The end? Well, it's not the end. As you keep sticking around persistently, an opportunity does come. Yang Harin, you get to audition for a blockbuster, and you barely grab that opportunity, but…."

"But?"

"How many people in the world would want your success?"

The guide burst out laughing, he he he.

Poof!

The mirror showed the aftermath.

The CT Entertainment CEO handing a bag full of a huge amount of money to a man wearing a hat pulled down deep, and the man who confirmed the money putting a knife into his chest....

"No way."

"That's right. The Clive members and CT Entertainment have fallen to the abyss to the point where recovery is impossible, and that means they have nothing to lose. So."

─Kyaaaaa!

The Yang Harin in the mirror was attacked by a freak and screamed. She doesn't die, but something happens to her face. As Yang Harin grimaced, the guide said.

"You get burns all over your face. Yang Harin didn't die, but the actress Yang Harin died. You have a body that can never stand in front of the camera again."

"Burns…."

"You want the Clive members and the CT Entertainment CEO to be punished, but they make money illegally and live lavishly. Only you have become miserable."

"…."

"Those who are shining don't remember you, and those you resent are doing well as if to show you. That's the life."

Yang Harin had already lost her words a long time ago. Anyone would be like that if they saw such a desperate future.

"Hahahahaha! What happened to your confident attitude from earlier when you asked me to show you the future? Don't miss it and watch! This is all your future! Even if you don't want to accept it!"

The guide kicked the mirror and broke it, and the large thing was shattered into small pieces. Each of the fragmented pieces is also a small mirror.

Therefore, soon, the fragments all around began to show their respective brutal futures at once. Hundreds of them.

Yang Harin with burns, Yang Harin crying quietly, Yang Harin sitting down, Yang Harin sighing deeply….

The guide said.

"Yang Harin, give up on the highlight shooting."

It felt like everything was going to end.

Yes.

"No. Why should I."

Until Yang Harin answered like that. Clearly.

"I'm not giving up."
