I fell in love with a mermaid
Celebrities are people too...


The next morning


태형
I should check the reaction to this album~

Taehyung looked at the comments on his album on his mobile phone.

The comments were filled with unspeakable profanity.


태형
under...

Just then, the female protagonist came out of her room.

여주 (인어)
Oppa, what are you looking at that makes your face look so bad?


태형
Huh? Just...

Yeoju looked at Taehyung's phone screen.

여주 (인어)
W-what is this..?


태형
It's nothing...

여주 (인어)
What do you mean it's nothing?!

여주 (인어)
Can you still live normally after hearing things like that?


태형
I'm having a hard time too!!


태형
I'm having such a hard time too, I feel like I'm going crazy, so please don't say things like that...

여주 (인어)
Sorry for yelling...

여주 (인어)
But can't you tell me why you're doing this to me?


태형
I'm a celebrity, and as you just saw, I get a lot of harsh insults.


태형
I always think that whenever I get criticized.


태형
How can a celebrity be active without ever getting criticized...


태형
Getting criticized isn't wrong; it's only natural...


태형
But suddenly, I had this thought.


태형
Why do I have to get insulted just because I'm a celebrity..?


태형
Celebrities are people too.


태형
Like others, I feel sad when I see hateful comments, but I feel energized when I see supportive ones.


태형
However, people try to find fault with me, even if they have to force it, to disparage me.


태형
As if afflicted with a disease where they would die if they didn't criticize and belittle others...


태형
I am someone who feels emotions like this.


태형
It feels like people don't even treat me like a human being...


태형
Actually, even before I became a singer, I was anxious every single day.


태형
I was afraid I wouldn't be able to debut...


태형
Even if I do, I'm afraid it will be buried and disappear from people's memories...


태형
Back then, I thought success would compensate for everything...


태형
But you know what?


태형
I feel like I'm turning into a monster as time goes by.


태형
Now I'm scared and terrified that the person who liked and supported me might disappear...


태형
It's not like I wanted to be popular or anything.


태형
I just wanted to do the music I like...


태형
Is that really that wrong..?

Taehyung teared up as he recalled all the hardships he had gone through.

And the female lead warmly hugged the crying Taehyung.

여주 (인어)
It's not your fault, oppa...

여주 (인어)
It's just that the world is wrong...


태형
I live to understand the world


태형
The world has never understood me


태형
I don't want to live in a world like this...

여주 (인어)
Don't think like that

여주 (인어)
And now, don't keep it to yourself anymore.

여주 (인어)
I can't do much for you, but I'll be by your side.

여주 (인어)
You've worked hard all this time.

여주 (인어)
Things can't always be good, but I hope there will be more good days.

여주 (인어)
Thank you for being by my side, and thank you for existing. I love you.
