Chapter 877: Pride (2)
With sharper instincts than anyone, Miso immediately saw that Choi Yeon-Mi was fake crying.Caught off guard by Miso's unexpected callout, Choi Yeon-Mi raised her voice and cried even louder. "No! I'm crying because it hurts where Eun-Seo hit me!"
At Choi Yeon-Mi's shrill tone, Miso startled and quickly hid behind me. She clutched my leg tightly.
I gently patted Miso's back. "It's okay, Miso. I believe you."
Miso's eyes widened. "Really?"
"Yes."
When I nodded, Miso clasped her hands together and let out a relieved sigh. "That's a relief. I thought I was going to become a liar."
"Why would you be a liar? The real liar is over there."
I knew Choi Yeon-Mi was lying, not because of what Miso said but because I had experienced her before my regression.
In the previous timeline, Choi Yeon-Mi debuted under Ace Entertainment as a member of the girl group Lovely & Glory. From her debut year, she built a successful fandom by promoting a pure image—an angelic face and saintly behavior.
But at a CF shoot, a staff member who had suffered from her power abuse secretly recorded her swearing and exposed it. Within a year of her debut, she was expelled from the group and fled to the U.S. under the guise of studying abroad. Lovely & Glory never quite recovered and eventually terminated their contract with Ace Entertainment.
So even without Miso's insight, I already knew Choi Yeon-Mi was a master of performance. More importantly, the very fact that Go Eun-Seo had hit her was proof that something serious had happened.
