[Seokjin Card] - Rather than worrying, Go <3> : Completed

Sseukjjing, who had been loitering around Mom while she prepared dinner, took some milk out of the refrigerator and sat at the table to drink.

월와핸김슥찡

mom.

엄마

why.

월와핸김슥찡

What was your dream, Mom?

엄마

Dreams? I had plenty of dreams.

Mom replies nonchalantly, as if it’s no big deal.

엄마

When I was young, I wanted to be a model, and I dreamed of being a musical actor. I also thought about being a teacher. I wanted to try things like voice acting, too.

월와핸김슥찡

O'Wen, the voice actor?

엄마

Mom is good at that kind of thing, haha.

월와핸김슥찡

.....Right—she would suit the role of a nagging middle-aged woman really well.

엄마

When my mom was young, they used to show dubbed foreign movies on TV every Saturday, and I used to try hard to imitate the voice actors' voices.

Seokjjing rested her chin on her arm on the table as she listened to her mother excitedly recounting stories from her younger days.

월와핸김슥찡

But why didn't you do it? Seong-woo.

엄마

Well, I just ended up pretending, haha. I just decided to go work at a company.

월와핸김슥찡

.......

월와핸김슥찡

Mom, I like dancing. It's fun.

엄마

Yeah. It’ll probably be fun. Just do it as a hobby, kid. It doesn't necessarily have to become your job.

월와핸김슥찡

.......

엄마

You'll understand when you grow up.

Mom's words always end in reality.

Face reality.

Mom's dream as an adult remained a dream. Mom lives in reality.

Today is the last day of the week's requests.

Seokjin took Sseukjjing to Hongdae. As they passed by many buskers, the two stopped in front of a dance team.

김석진

Do you want to try it too?

월와핸김슥찡

Ehhh~~??? No, no...

Seokjin laughed as he watched Sseukjjing shake his head in disgust.

Sseukjjing examined the expressions of the onlookers one by one.

People looking on with curiosity. People swaying to the rhythm. People just standing there with a blank expression.

People dancing enthusiastically in the midst of it.

As the dance team's performance ended, small applause erupted, and Seokjin and Sseukjjing slowly walked away.

월와핸김슥찡

The reason I want to become a dancer is—

Sseukjjing carefully revealed the sincere feelings she had kept in her heart.

월와핸김슥찡

I wanted people to feel happy watching me dance, just as I do when I dance. Just as I relieve stress by dancing, I wanted others to feel the same way when they watch me. That is why I decided to become a dancer.

Seokjin silently looked at Sseukjjing and listened attentively.

월와핸김슥찡

But I'm not really sure. I wonder if that's even possible. Can I do it? My mom tells me to just do it as a hobby, but even so, I keep wondering if that would be okay...

김석진

Sseukjjing has big dreams.

월와핸김슥찡

.......?

김석진

To think you dream while even thinking about the happiness of others—you are going to be a great friend.

Seokjin, who had been clapping and laughing as if joking, turned to look at Sseukjjing and met his eyes.

김석진

But Sseuk-jjing, I just... I think your happiness comes first.

월와핸김슥찡

........

김석진

Conveying something to others happens naturally when you do it happily and sincerely. So there is no need to worry or be afraid about whether that is possible.

김석진

No matter what you do, if you face it with sincerity, that will all be conveyed. So, finding work that you can do happily and joyfully is the priority.

Seokjin wrapped his arms around the silent Sseukjjing's shoulders and hugged him tightly.

Little Seokjjing's two shoulders wrapped around Seokjin's arms and fit snugly into his embrace.

김석진

And I told you. Just because a dream turns into a hobby doesn't mean it's a failure, and you're only fourteen. You can always find a new dream, so I hope you don't give up without even trying.

월와핸김슥찡

But... Mom keeps opposing it...

김석진

Then, show your mom your true feelings first.

월와핸김슥찡

how?

김석진

You just need to show them that you are making your own path, little by little. One step at a time. Your homework right now is to take on challenges and make your efforts a reality.

Tall Seokjin bends his knees and faces Sseukjjing.

The firm faith in those eyes was a comfort.

김석진

And, it's okay to fail.

김석진

If it's too hard, you can put it down.

월와핸김슥찡

.......

김석진

There is definitely a dream you can easily reach out and grasp. That will become your real dream.

월와핸김슥찡

.......

김석진

I wish that were a dance.

월와핸김슥찡

......Thank you.

Seokjin smiled and straightened his bent knees at Sseukjjing's words, which he mumbled while giggling.

김석진

Ugh~~~ Let's eat something delicious!!

월와핸김슥찡

Hey! Hey! I've searched for a great restaurant!

김석진

Oh! Then let's go!!! Do you know you have to be full to be happy?

The two walked down a busy street in Hongdae, chatting away at trivial things.

Hongdae Street, filled with music, the sound of applause, and boisterous chatter.

I was happy.

dream.

Vague and idealistic goals.

Put my happiness in there.

I hope that someday, my sincerity can reach someone.

For that one moment—I dance again today.

[Magic Shop] - WalwaHanKimSeokJjing's request has been completed.

[Author's Note] Personally, when I first saw BTS, the one who seemed the most awkward was Seokjin, lol. I didn't think he suited being a singer, but I think he is the one who sublimated that awkwardness through hard work.

Effort makes dreams come true. Also, since I believe in fate to some extent, I think dreams attract people to some degree. May your dream open a path for you.

Good luck to everyone dreaming!!!

Although my writing was lacking, I hope it touched the client in some small way.😊
