I fell in love with a mermaid

Celebrities are people too...

The next morning

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.

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 image

태형

Huh? Just...

Yeoju looked at Taehyung's phone screen.

여주 (인어)

W-what is this..?

태형 image

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 image

태형

I'm having a hard time too!!

태형 image

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 image

태형

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

태형 image

태형

I always think that whenever I get criticized.

태형 image

태형

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

태형 image

태형

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

태형 image

태형

But suddenly, I had this thought.

태형 image

태형

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

태형 image

태형

Celebrities are people too.

태형 image

태형

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

태형 image

태형

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

태형 image

태형

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

태형 image

태형

I am someone who feels emotions like this.

태형 image

태형

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

태형 image

태형

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

태형 image

태형

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

태형 image

태형

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

태형 image

태형

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

태형 image

태형

But you know what?

태형 image

태형

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

태형 image

태형

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

태형 image

태형

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

태형 image

태형

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

태형 image

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 image

태형

I live to understand the world

태형 image

태형

The world has never understood me

태형 image

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.
