"You left the venue early."
"Sorry, I didn't mean to ruin the mood." Dahyun apologized to Yunjin. "Aren't you supposed to be in your honeymoon?"
"I want to check on you. Are you okay with Jaehyun?" Dahyun couldn't answer her. "You fought?"
"No."
"So why?"
"Why what?"
"Are you avoiding him? Why?" Dahyun took a deep breath. "Did he confessed?"
"How did you know?"
"Oh, so he did." Dahyun sighed. "What's wrong? Don't you like him? He seems to be a nice guy, he also has beautiful voice."
"I don't know."
"You don't like him?"
"I avoid controversies."
"So you're afraid to be on the news again?"
"That's one, but that doesn't mean that I like him." Yunjin chuckled. "The headlines are about you playing instruments for you dad's wedding, one of the guests uploaded them. Most of the comments are good."
"Maybe only fans visited... Haters would come out if there's something bad about me, what would they say if I give chance to Jaehyun? I feel bad for pushing him away because I don't want him to hope there's gonna something about us, I dated Jungkook. He is his friend, I even got rumors with their other friend years ago." Dahyun shook her head.
"You know what, Dahyun... There are a lot of judgement in this world, by people... But when you love, you unconsciously forget about those people and just care about those around you, those you love and who loves you. These people will also get tired, especially when you don't even know them, why would you be affected of their words? Sometimes they do not know you well too, they believe what they hear from others. Why do people hate the others? Do they want to have the life of the people they are hating? Humanity is scary Dahyun, to live... You must learn how to ignore and focus on your life, when you're scared of judgement, that means you're letting them control you."
Dahyun thought about what Yunjin just said, she couldn't sleep. She decided to go out of the room, "I don't know anything about this place." She took a deep breath and left the hotel, she took a night stroll. To unwind, she saw a bench and sat down there. She dialed someone's number.
"Oh, grandma." She smiled. ("What time is it in Italy???")
"10 pm, I can't sleep. Still can't adjust with the time. You woke up early."
("I always wake up early.")
"You received the pictures of dad's wedding?"
("Yes, I did. They're all good! You look beautiful, I felt like I also travelled there.")
"If only you could, I miss you. If it's in Korea then maybe we'd be together."
("I can always pay you a visit.")
"Grandma, I don't want you to get weaker going back and forth to Gyeonggi-do and Korea. If only you could just stay with me."
("I'm not used to big cities, even Gyeonggi-do is big.")
"You have to get used to it, if you want to see your granddaughter everyday. I can promise that I'd go home to you, I'll learn how to cook."
("You're already doing so much work! We'll get to see each other again very soon.")
Dahyun looked down.
("Dahyunnie, are you okay?")
"Oh? Oh." She faked smile. "Grandma, you should sleep more. Hmm? I'll go to you when we get home." Dahyun hang up.
