A Genius Actor Who Brings Misfortune - Chapter 389

A genius actor who brings misfortune (389)

“Actor, we have arrived.”

“… … .”

“Actor?”

Even though I heard Jinbae’s voice, I couldn’t answer.

I just stared blankly out the window.

‘I’ve changed.’

The orphanage I visited after a long time was very different from before.

All the buildings were covered in an unfamiliar color, perhaps due to a fresh coat of paint.

I felt strange at the sight, which was so different from when I visited.

‘This place might feel unfamiliar…’ .’

The unfamiliar scenery told me.

That this place can no longer be my home.

“Actor, are you okay?”

“yes. are you okay.”

He raised the corner of his mouth with a worried face.

It was really okay. Because my family was right next to me.

Still, I felt strangely sad.

‘That’s strange.’

I was getting out of the car, feeling complex emotions that I couldn’t explain.

“Yayyyyyyy!!!”

“… … Hello, teacher Sihyeon Lee.”

Just like that, all thoughts disappeared.

‘Why on earth are you running like that? .’

I was surprised, really.

I tried to smile, ignoring the sound of my pounding heart.

“How you doing?”

“Don’t even talk. “These days, I live by watching your dramas.”

Teacher Lee Si-hyeon jumped up and circled around me.

“You’ve grown taller now. When did she get this big?? “She was definitely the size of a chestnut.”

“The teacher raised you.”

“Look at you speaking nicely. It’s so pretty it’s killing me. Oh my, Haram is here too?”

Teacher Lee Si-hyeon’s eyes turned to Han Ha-ram.

The guy next to me flinched and lowered his head.

“hello… .”

I’m going to crawl in, really.

Even though Han Haram’s voice was barely audible, Teacher Lee Sihyeon smiled brightly.

“Nice to meet you again, Haram~. Let’s see, didn’t you like cheese snacks back then? “Do you want to go eat with me?”

“… !”

Han Haram’s round eyes widened.

The guy turned his head and looked at me.

He chuckled at the look in his eyes that seemed to be asking permission for something.

“Come on. “Don’t eat too much.”

“huh!”

“You know you can’t let down your guard, right? “Stay next to the teacher.”

“okay!”

Han Ha-ram smiled and ran to teacher Lee Si-hyeon.

I frowned when I saw him grabbing the teacher’s hand suddenly, as if he was being shy.

‘That guy.’

What’s so easy?

‘If someone I don’t know gives me snacks, I’ll chase after them.’

Tsk.

I moved on, thinking that I would have to teach him again sometime.

Not long after, I ran into the director.

“So the serial is here?”

“Director. “Has anything happened so far?”

“It’s always the same here.”

The director was still smiling kindly.

I finally felt at peace when I saw that it was no different from when I first saw it.

“I missed you, Director.”

When I said this with a big smile, the director just blinked.

“… … “This is the first time you’ve said something like this.”

“is that so?”

“It’s nice to see. I missed you too. Did you see Sihyeon? “I talk about you every day.”

“yes. “I just said hello.”

“I don’t know why he’s getting more and more petty.”

“haha.”

I walked around the garden with the director and had a quiet conversation.

“So, I think I’ll be preparing to film the drama starting next week.”

“Aren’t you overdoing it? Looking at the article, it looked like he was very busy… . “You should have rested a bit before coming here.”

“Director, can you also look for my articles?”

“Don’t go over like that.”

The director gently glared at me as if he was looking at me like a snake.

A smile escaped my eyes as if I was looking at teacher Lee Si-hyeon.

‘There were times when I envied the relationship between the two of you.’

That was a really long time ago.

“Don’t worry, you can’t push yourself even if you want to. “If I push myself even a little bit, Jinbae says something.”

“I’m glad you seem to get along well with your manager.”

“Because he is such a good person. But I nag too much. “I said I read the script a little more last time.”

The conversation was much more interesting than I expected.

It was my first time gossiping about Jinbae without his knowledge, so I was even excited.

The director, who was smiling while I was chatting for a while, said.

“You look happy.”

I paused.

But that was only for a moment and I immediately laughed.

“Because I’m happy.”

“thank god. “It went really well.”

The director patted my shoulder.

I was worried about my hands, which seemed to have become a bit rough.

‘Next time, I’ll give you hand cream.’

No, I don’t know when it will come again, so should I buy it now?

As I was mentally calculating the remaining time, the director’s words rang in my ears.

“There is a child who was admitted a month ago, and he is very similar to you.”

“In what way?”

“He listens well and is polite, but he never opens up his mind. I don’t make any friends. Of course, it will take time, but… “I’m feeling a little nervous.”

The director trailed off.

‘You’re not the kind of person who would say something like this for no reason.’

I was silent for a moment and then nodded.

“I will meet you sometime.”

“Will you do that? “I’m sorry for asking for something unnecessary.”

“Don’t do that. But I don’t know if I can help.”

After spitting out the words, I started to get really worried.

Will I really be of help?

* * *

I moved to the room with the number given by the director.

‘No. 105, No. 106… .’

No. 107. It’s here.

‘First you have to knock.’

Just as I was about to raise my hand, someone quickly hugged me from behind.

“no!!”

I wasn’t particularly surprised.

I knew who it was from the moment I heard footsteps in the distance.

“Haram. what’s the matter.”

I smelled a familiar scent and calmly soothed him.

“Don’t open it! “I heard everything you said with the director!”

“Just solve this first.”

“If you let me go, I’ll open the door!”

Why is he like this?

I was even more puzzled because it didn’t show up well after merging with the fog.

When I finally released my hands and turned around, Han Haram looked at me earnestly.

“Don’t open it, Yeonjae. “Let’s go home now.”

“Why can’t I open it? “Do you know anything?”

I narrowed my eyes.

Is the kid in this room a monster? Or maybe you know about the unhappiness factor… .

I was looking forward to seeing if I could find a helper.

Han Haram cried out and cried out.

“You’re going to bewitch people again!!”

“… … what?”

“Stop being mesmerized! “I’m not enough?!”

This is ridiculous.

‘What is this kid saying?’

There wasn’t even a laugh.

What are you doing? What drama are you the main character?

“Han Haram, you are banned from the Internet from now on.”

“It’s not because of the Internet! When it comes to serials, people always blame the internet.”

“Then why are you doing that? “Where did you learn something strange?”

“I didn’t learn it, I saw it with my own eyes! “You keep picking on people!”

“… … ”

People around me kept clinging to me so much that I kept saying that it was so annoying that I was going to die.

Now I’m out of my mind.

‘I raised my child wrong.’

I sighed while holding my forehead.

“Han Haram, don’t call me you. “Where is the small thing?”

“I am much better than Yeonjae-.”

“Okay, you’re younger than me now? “Hurry and go to Jinbae.”

“okay. “Promise me you won’t tease me.”

What are you flirting with?

I touched Han Haram’s forehead with my finger.

Even during this time, I couldn’t hit it because it looked cute.

“It’s black. “Go quickly.”

“Promise!”

“Ha, I understand. I’ll promise. Okay? go.”

Han Haram left, pointing to his eyes with his fingers as if he was watching.

That’s real.

‘I need to cut off all the internet lines.’

Perhaps because I was so dumbfounded, I realized too late that the door had been opened.

“… … Lee Yeon-jae?”

A girl muttered absentmindedly between visits.

He quickly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.

‘shit.’

It’s ruined.

“hello.”

“hello… .”

The kid who was looking at me with eyes that were half wary and half curious was older than I thought.

At least middle school students.

Whatever it is, the important thing is that my first impression was ruined.

‘This guy Han Haram.’

As soon as I get home, I have to pinch my cheek.

He smiled at the other person who had a confused look on his face.

“Can we walk together?”

* * *

“What the teachers said was true.”

“What do you mean?”

“Lee Yeon-jae… You said you used to go here. “I thought it was a lie.”

“You can call me your brother.”

“yes… .”

The girl looked like she didn’t understand why she was walking through the garden with me.

“How is life here?”

“are you okay. I, that… “Please speak comfortably, too.”

“okay.”

As soon as I let go of the words, the girl’s eyes fluttered from side to side.

‘I understand why the director said that.’

The girl gave off a similar vibe to me from before.

Although he was walking quietly, his mind seemed to be busy.

Suppressing complex emotions alone.

‘What are you thinking?’

I couldn’t figure it out.

Once again, I felt amazing about the teachers who took care of me at that time.

Just as I was thinking about what to say, the other person spoke faster.

“Is the director very worried?”

“huh?”

“I came because the director asked me to talk to you.”

“how did you know?”

“Otherwise, why would someone like you talk to me?”

The girl tapped the dirt with her foot.

I looked at him quietly and smiled.

“So are you sad?”

“yes? no?”

“I’m sorry if I made you disappointed. Still, I like it. “If it weren’t for the director, I wouldn’t have been able to talk to you.”

When I smiled softly, the other person noticeably turned his face.

“It’s not like that… .”

The awkwardness made me laugh even more.

“It’s true that the director is worried about you. “He was wondering if you were adjusting well.”

“I’m fine. “I also know that the facilities here are much better than other places.”

The girl hesitated before adding.

“My mom told me directly.”

“Did you?”

“yes. My mom said that before we broke up. I will come get you before I become an adult, so just wait. I will trust you, mom. “I’m sure she’ll come get you.”

So, just keep doing well as you are now.

There was an error in saying that I couldn’t be more comfortable here.

“I see.”

After hearing the explanation, I understood what he was feeling.

It must be a burden to build another home when you don’t know when your mom will come.

No matter what I said here, it wouldn’t have changed the situation.

I walked in silence.

Only when I reached the end of the garden did I slowly open my mouth.

“I believe your mother, too.”

“… … really?”

“then.”

The girl was looking at me like she was confused.

It seemed like he was waiting for something to refute or deny what he said.

I grinned.

“You should listen to your parents carefully. “Wait until her mother comes to get her.”

“Okay. “I think so.”

“But did your mother also tell you not to make friends?”

“yes?”

I shrugged my shoulders.

“Waiting and making friends are two different things. “I thought it would be better to find something that makes you happy while waiting for your mother.”

“happiness… .”

“Of course, there is no guarantee that making friends will make you happy. Still, wouldn’t it be a good idea to give it a try?”

There’s no need to break up with that friend just because you meet your mother again.

The same was true for daycare teachers.

There was no need to approach it with grand concepts of ‘new family’ or ‘home’.

Even after leaving the daycare center, you can continue to say hello to the teachers. like… .

“Just like me.”

The other person looked at me with a blank expression.

I smiled looking at that young face.

“I will keep coming here. “You might not be there next time.”

“… … .”

“But can you say hello if you run into me later? “It’s not like we don’t know each other.”

I asked softly.

I hope that the message that it is okay to take that much time is well conveyed.

The answer came back after a long time.

“… … Okay.”

With a faint smile.

That night, I got beaten up by the fog for not keeping my promise.

It was unfair.
