Chapter 896 – #97. Lanna (56)
“Uh…It’s a lot bigger than planned? Bring your acquaintances?”
As the plan changes in real time, consultation with Lanna, the original reason for this concert, was essential.
While explaining in detail how to change it, I carefully studied her face to see how it would react.
“Hmm…It happened like this because I was preparing unintentionally. There are more people who want to come to my concert than I thought. I don’t mind anything as long as my family can enjoy it happily.”
“That’s why there are so many people. It’s definitely a waste of your performance for only family to attend.”
She said that she had personally researched airplane concerts, and she saw a lot of people watching them as a positive thing.
“It’s not confirmed yet. But I think it would be good for you to bring your acquaintances.”
“Do you think it will be good for me?”
Apparently, when we had concerts, Lanna, Joanna, and Mei Lin had to travel by plane in order to minimize the number of people moving.
“I want to keep you by my side, but I won’t be able to keep you by my side to prepare for the performance stage.”
“It’s no problem taking a friend, but I’m not sure how to explain it. Taking them there out of the blue… And there are people who are supposed to be introduced there. To be introduced, you’ll have to explain it to your friend…”
It might not be easy to explain my relationship to friends who know her husband as someone else.
“I just think it would be right not to take my friends.”
“Concerts can be seen as a place to lightly check one’s face rather than being formally introduced. I’m not going to be able to take care of you because I’m preparing for a performance. After the concert is over, I’ll have to have a place to formally introduce myself.”
“Oh~”
She hoped that by coming with her friends, Lanna would feel her tension lessened a bit.
At most, I watch my performances, but isn’t it a waste if I can’t concentrate because I’m distracted by other things?
In order to be able to fully focus on my concert, I needed an acquaintance who could relieve my tension.
“If you come with your friends, they will take care of all the accommodations and meals you can stay in. So, you can comfortably come together, attend the concert, watch and play.
“Hmm…If it’s like that, it wouldn’t be bad. It’d be easier to explain.”
There is nothing more lonely and scary than traveling alone in a foreign country.
“I have so many things to take care of that I can’t keep paying attention to you. That’s why I want you to come with your acquaintances.”
Because it was planned to create good memories.
I can’t tolerate the slightest amount of time she spends alone in her loneliness.
“I’m not even a child, so are you so anxious to be left alone?”
“I’ve been on a trip, but I don’t like being alone. I can’t accept that.”
There were other women I needed to care about, but I was the only one who treated Ran so special that I couldn’t even have her body attached exclusively to her.
That’s why Joo-ah noona suggested it.
It was for this reason that she was positive about inviting her acquaintances to see the performance.
‘Since Joanna is friends with Mr. May, she has someone to talk to easily, but I don’t have anyone like that.’
Between her friends and friendships, Lanna, who is left alone, can’t help but feel sorry for her.
It is true that it hurts wherever her fingers are bitten, but among them, the injured finger is inevitably more nerve-wracking.
And to me, Lanna was like an injured finger.
‘It’s better for me because I can pay less attention if I come with a friend.’
It’s a concert for families, but shouldn’t it be prevented from becoming a concert that is so buried in the purpose that the people involved can’t enjoy it?
“But if it spreads to acquaintances, isn’t it rumored elsewhere? I was worried that it would be mentioned in the media.”
It’s nice to receive love from fans, but whenever I see the media following our group’s every move, I shake my head.
I could pass it off as simply being interested in my daily life and following it as a job unavoidable, but the problem was that they secretly filmed my daily life, added their own thoughts, wrote a novel, and published it as an article.
Take a completely unrelated picture, write a novel of your own, write it down as if it were true, and at the end or not? When I write it down like that, a fire flares up in my chest.
That’s why I don’t want the media to pay attention to my concert for my family.
I didn’t want to see the concert I prepared for my family being processed like garbage in the heads of reporters.
“I guess so.”
“Then isn’t it okay? The fandom? I heard that something like that is so amazing that it might cause problems.”
If you find out belatedly that your favorite celebrity held a concert in a place you didn’t know about, the fans who heard the news would be very sorry.
Why didn’t we even give them the right to see the concert?
But there was a way to think of that part separately.
It was prepared in anticipation that reporters would not miss such delicious food.
It was to spread the surplus space other than family and acquaintances for the vulnerable.
“I’m still thinking about where to do it. I don’t think I’ll be able to fully enjoy my performance to give it to the elderly, and I think it would be okay to invite underprivileged children as a social contribution activity.”
After the concert, a donation was also planned.
Then, even if the reporters find out about my concert, they won’t be able to criticize the purpose of the concert.
‘I have no choice but to publish an article to improve my image.’
Just in case there’s something a little embarrassing about it…
“You might say that we are using underprivileged children to respond to the media. This is also true. But even with slightly different intentions, wouldn’t it be okay if the children made good memories? I wonder how it can be covered.”
Her first meeting was a meeting disguised as a coincidence, hiding a plot, but Lanna and she love each other and seem to get along well as her husband and wife.
“I don’t think so at all. Do you get stressed out like that too? I heard that celebrities suffer from depression…”
“I have strong mental strength. Maybe it’s because I have extraordinary abilities, so I don’t get stressed out even when others curse at me or make fun of me.”
If you have this special ability, there is a part that you can’t help it.
That no matter how much they criticize me, they are bound to be worse than me.
‘They don’t live longer than me, they don’t have more money than me, and they don’t receive more love than me, so do their opinions matter?’
If someone in my family mocks me, it will do a lot of damage.
However, other than my family, there was no existence that could damage my spirit.
“What I was worried about was my family. After all, this concert is a concert for my family. If things go wrong, I’m sure I’ll be sad. So I had no choice but to pay close attention to that.”
“Are you all right then?”
“Have you forgotten where I’m from? No matter what people say to me, it can’t scratch my self-esteem. After all, people on the Internet are so angry because they envy me. But what can I do? It’s true.”
Such people can be crushed by appearance alone.
But isn’t that the only thing I have?
I had excellent singing skills, dancing skills that would not be missed anywhere, acting skills recognized by many people, and fans and family who loved me.
I, who had a lot of things, didn’t care even if I was attacked by people who had less things than me.
“Anyway, are you positive about inviting your acquaintances and inviting underprivileged children?”
“Of course. I wonder if there are people who don’t like it. It’s a good thing.”
“The purpose of the first concert was a concert for families. But since the goal has changed, you may be disappointed.”
“I’m not sad at all. Rather, I feel better and look forward to it because they say we can do good things together.”
“But it’s not confirmed yet. I’m just thinking that it would be nice if I did this. It’s only after a while that I know whether or not I’ll be able to do what I’ve planned specifically. If there are people who don’t like it, I’ll go back to the original plan. .”
“I hope it goes as planned. I’m really proud of it.”
Proud?
“It’s nice to see you work on stage, but I think it’s very emotional to think of the kids who would be happy to see you perform.”
“Wow~ I’m very moved when you say that? I’ll work really hard to prepare for the concert. So that I don’t waste my time.”
“Thank you for that.”
After getting Lanna’s permission.
The rest of the family was also asked about their intentions.
My opinion of inviting vulnerable children was neatly unanimous, with no objection from anyone.
Everyone applauded for thinking it was a good idea.
I didn’t expect to see such a positive reaction.
“Is everyone else interested in volunteering except me? I love it.”
“It’s not that I’m not interested in volunteer work at all, but that’s not why I liked it.”
“Then why did you like it?”
“It’s good that you’re doing good. You’re proud of it.”
“…More pressure than being directly asked to be a proud husband?”
It was as if he had been warned never to stray.
“I’m still doing well. I just don’t have to change later.”
Jung-hwa added to Joo-a’s words.
“Now and in the future, I believe that you will always be a proud husband.”
“Are you going to burden me with Jeong-hwa?”
“I once said that when we got together. If I could use your special ability, I wouldn’t have the confidence to live like this.”
“Did I live that kindly? I don’t really remember anything like that. Aren’t the two of you against me too harsh? Do you really think Jeong-hwa like that?”
There were times when I was rude to people I didn’t like, and I’ve never lived my life thinking that I should live kindly.
So it was hard to readily agree with the statement that she said she had no confidence to live a good life.
