“not everything that shines is gold—”
Addiction is different for everyone and it can come in every form. A person addicted to gambling can't be any different from a person addicted to alcohol. It's not even about taking drugs all the time. Movies and books have stigmatized addiction, limiting it to only substance abuse.The effects though are different as well. Some people when high can start seeing colours brighter, the sounds become dimmer. Some people might crave a food item or just physical intimacy. Some had visual hallucinations.
Migyung wondered...no, wished she had been hallucinating. She wished what she had done last night, making an appointment with Ms. Kang, was nothing but a trick of her mind and eyes.
She had hallucinated before, the visions still haunted her. She had seen herself killing Mijung, her sister. Her vision had been red and she knew she was crying but she was angry, all the pent-up emotions had somehow distorted in her mind. When she came to reality though, she was lying in her own piss, her arms scratched till they bled and tears dried on her face.
Standing outside the building that had been a major part of her life, she wished she could just wake up. She didn't mind if she wasn't in her best condition, she just wanted to be anywhere except here. She didn't want to be where her life was ruined.
"Um, excuse me?" a hesitant voice called out, breaking her away from her trance. She looked at the girl who looked at her with awe. "Are you Kim Migyung?" she asked, almost in a whisper.
Migyung in turn flinched. She hadn't expected anyone to recognise her, much less a young girl like her. She smiled at her though, the practiced one and said, "Yes, I am. How do you know my name?"
The girl laughed in disbelief, jumping slightly on her feet. "How do I know your name? Miss, you are a legend at the academy. Everyone knows you. I'm such a big fan of yours. I've seen all of your performances and you are just so mind-blowingly amazing! You inspire me to be as good as you even though I know I can't be—"
"Okay, stop right there," Migyung interrupted the excited girl's rambling, making her immediately shut up. "You can be whatever you want as long as you work for it. The world doesn't matter when you are determined to have something."
