WAY OF LIFE
CHAPTRE 18

Dafina was still awake when the time showed at 23:00 Korean time. Dafina groped the side of her bed to look for her phone. He stared into a chat room while waiting for a call from the man.

One minute.

Two minutes.

Three minutes.

Four minutes.

Five minutes.

Five minutes have passed but Prince has not called himself even though today is his birthday.

Trings

A notification appeared on his phone screen. Dafina opened her notification and many wished her a happy birthday. He smiled bitterly, his fans just remember his birthday and even make projects & charities on behalf of him. But the one who was waiting for him forgot about it. Depressing.

"I'd better get some sleep."

He put his cell phone on the nightstand and laid his body on the bed. As he was about to enter dreamland, his phone shook.

"Who is bothering you?! I knew I was going to sleep" he said.

He took his phone and wanted to turn it off, but his eyes instantly rounded as his screen displayed a video call call from the person he was waiting for.

Without lingering, Dafina immediately got out of her bed and ran to the bathroom to wash her face.

"You're okay, right?" There was a tone of worry and worry from the question Prince gave.

Dafina nodded. "Yes I'm fine, Prince. What are you about? Did you finish your project in Mexico?"

"Thank God if you're okay, I think you're okay because of my long phone call. If I am no longer good because my mind misses you while my physical fatigue due to several days working on a project in Mexico." Prince answered all the questions he asked. Dafina could see that Prince was still wearing an office suit and was laying on the bed, surely the man had just returned from his job.

"What's the matter you called me?" Dafina looked at Prince and hoped that the man would call him to apologize or wish him a happy birthday.

Prince's eyebrows intertwined, "What's wrong? A man can't call his girlfriend? I called you because I wanted to say something."

Dafina's face immediately sparkled upon hearing that. "What do you want to say? Tell me come on Prince."

"It looks like I'll be in Mexico a long time because of this project. And the longer I stay here the more I feel like I'm with you" Prince said, looking into Dafina's eyes.

This made Dafina disappointed. Prince called him to say he would extend his stay in Mexico.

"It seems you're very happy there." Dafina started fishing.

"It's even better if you're next to me and Ara. How's your job there?"

"I'm good here Prince, tomorrow my group will perform on MMA with the song 123 and kill the enemy" replied Dafina.

"I'd love to watch you perform live but unfortunately I can't. Sorry honey." - sorry." A voice of regret came from his tone. Dafina looked at the two eyes of the man to look for lies but she could not read them.

"No—"

Dafina's speech was interrupted when she heard the screams across the street. Prince looked back and found Ara sitting on the bed calling himself.

"Darling, you don't sleep at night huh, I hope after this you go straight to sleep ok? I said call her because I have to put Ara to bed" Prince said to Dafina.

Dafina smiled as she nodded her head. "Yes I sleep, you also sleep not only tell people to sleep but not by itself. Say hello to Ara if I miss her and you too."

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

On this day, The Queen to the MMA event or known as the Melon Music Award, held at Gocheok Sky dome Seoul. Not only The Queen, but other groups and soloists were also present at the event.

One by one idol group or soloist conduct Red Carpet sessions. After a hefty wait, it was The Queen's turn to do their red carpet session.

They walk towards the middle of the camera with a straight forward gaze and both hands are on the side like a model on a catwalk. Arriving in the middle of the media, the four of them posed with the best smile they had. The camera keeps shooting them from all directions.

After they finished posing, they immediately did an interview. MC immediately gave a mic to one of them.

"Annyeonghaseyo The Queen's imnida." Greet them together. They bowed their bodies so politely.

"Ne annyeonghaseyo." The MC saluted The Queen. "Paenbundeulkke hago sipeun mari itttamyon?" ask the MC.

(What do you want to tell the fans?)

Dafina who held the mic in her hand immediately answered the question. "Johi nesiso so inneun ge da yorobundeuri johireul hornang eungwonhaejusyoso geuron goraneun malsseumeul deurigo sipsseumnida. Hangsang johireul eungwonhae jusyoso nomu gamsahadaneun mareul jonhaneun membodeureul daepyohaeso. Johireul batahhwa haejun go huhwehage hajj ankettago yakssoktteurigetsseumnida. Yorobundeulkke chwesoneul dahaeso boyodeuridorok hagetseumnida."

(I want to say that the four of us standing here are all because of you who have always supported us in anything. I represent the other members thank you very much for the support you always give us. We promise that we will not make you regret having idolized us. We will show you as best we can for all of you.)

"Yokssi kwineun hornang chwesoneul dahago itsseumnida." The MC smiled continuing the question. "Joeusineyo yudae hal ttae i autpiseul ibeusil gongayo?"

(The Queen's always the best.)

(Outfit you guys are good, are you guys going to wear this outfit?)

"Gomapsseumnida." Dafina. "Aniya's. Popomonseu ttae sseul autpiseun igo aniya."

(No. The outfit we will use during perfomance is not this.)

"Geuromyon yorobundeul sigan naejusyoso nomu gamsadeurigoyo." The MCs are grateful for being available for the interview.

After finishing the interview session, The Queen returned to the backstage to change clothes and to get ready for performance.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

At the end of the performance, the camera shines towards Sooya, where Sooya's face will be made into a fairy ending. They bowed politely before leaving the stage.

They are now heading towards the backstage to rest the body for a moment, because after this there will be an announcement of music awards for idols who calm him.

Dafina stared at the screen of her phone, tapping on the screen of her phone.

"Call no phone no phone no," he murmured.

"Dafina-ya do you want to drive eonnie?" ask Rouse.

Dafina looked directly at Rouse. "Eonnie's fans?"

"Eonnie wants to go to the bathroom, can you accompany me?"

"Of course you can, let's go eonnie." Dafina smiled.

While waiting for Rouse who was in the bathroom, he stepped foot to get a signal.

"Let's go you can Dafina." Dafina encouraged herself when she got a signal. He pressed the icon on his phone screen before sticking it to his ear.

"The number you are going to is out of range, please call back later."

He sighed somewhat disappointed that the number contacted was out of reach. Dafina sent a chat to Prince and told the man to reply immediately.

Duk!

But while walking he accidentally hit something. He immediately bent his body while saying an apology to the person he hit. He stepped to the right but he clucked in annoyance when he saw someone blocking his path.

"That's who's bothering the road cave" growled Dafina.

Dafina raised her head to see who did it, but when she found out who did it, her eyes seemed to be coming out.

Dafina quickly bowed her body while apologizing to her senior. "Ah sonbaenim jwesonghamnida dangsindeurinji molrassoyo."

(Ah senior, forgive me, I did not know that it was you guys.)

"Onniga hwajangsireso gidarirago haenneunde wae yogi inneun goya?" rouse protests upset that he was left alone in the toilet.

(Dafina why are you here, eonnie told you to wait in the toilet?)

"Miana. Akka jonhwaharyogo jonhwahadaga naganneunde." Dafina held both of Rouse's hands while bowing her face.

(Sorry. I was out there looking for a signal because I wanted to call someone.)

"Daeumen geuroji ma onnineun nega opssojilkka bwa gokjjongdwae!" Horror Rouse.

(Next time don't be so, unnie afraid you're missing or why-why.

"Nee eonnie, mianhe. Hajiman nuga joroke bujaga dwerago hae! Na honja ppichoso yolrak mot hajana," grumbled Dafina as she stared at the screen of her phone.

(Yes unnie, sorry. But ask who tried he rich gini where not ngabarin me! I'll get upset by myself and can't bear to contact him.)

"Ja ije baeksseuteiji chaegiyaro doragabodorok hagetsseumnida. Peurinseuga jonhwareul an yolgona alrimeul kkeuji anaso dapjjangdo an hago yolaktto an hal sudo issoyo," explained Rouse gave understanding to his sister.

"Jonhwanneun and batjjiman jonhwaneun and batsseumnida."

(Cake up but don't answer the phone.)

"Jjaekjajjajajajiman sigi optta."

(Sake up but no news.)

Dafina sneered angrily, she demonstrated the video she saw from her Tik Tok account.

"Jjaekjajjajiman sarajineun goseul joahanda."

(Cake up but like to disappear.)

Dafina and Rouse looked directly at the source of the voice, as this voice was not a sneer from Dafina. How shocked Rouse was to see the BTS members there. Since when are they here?

"Ah sonbaenim jwesonghamnida dangsindeurinji molrassoyo." Rouse bowed to the BTS members.

"Gwaenchana geurol pilryo opsso."

(It's okay, you don't have to.)

Dafina stared at Jin who had just uttered the sentence. "Sonbaega geu anayo?"

(Senior knows that content?)

"Aniya's. Joneun jal moreugetjjiman dangsinegeso jikjjop deutkko issoyo." Jin shook his head.

(No. I don't know it but I'm listening directly to you.)

"Sonbaenim akka haettton mal tie hanbon haejusil su isseulkkayo?" Ask Dafina while looking at Jin.

(Can senior repeat the words?)

"Otton's goyo?"

(Which one?)

"Oppae 'daetkkeul' eun."

(Oppa amulet that 'cakep doang'.)

"Jjaekjajjajiman sarajineun goseul joahanda."

"Cacteyl." Dafina gave the thumb to Jin. "King oppaga jalsaenggin gon hotssugorago haenneunde hahahaha."

(Smakes.)

(True oppa said, free handsome doang but likes to say hahaha.)

"Johi sonbaenimdeureun ije baeksseuteijiro doragagi wihae insadeurigetsseumnida" Rouse told BTS members. After bending down, he pulled Dafina's hand to leave from there but Dafina refused.

(Our senior resigned to return to the backstage.)

"Baeksseuteiji onniro doragagi. Peurinseuga najunge jonhwahal jul ottoke aranneunji sinhoga an japyoyo," reject Dafina.

(I don't want to go back to backstage eonnie. There's no signal how I know if Prince's gonna call.)

"Geuronde—"

"Myot bunman do isseulkkeyo. Najunge nahante yolrakaljido moreunikka gyohuneul jugo sipo, Yojareul gidarige haneun gon joeun iriya."

(I'll stay here a few more minutes to wait for him. Who knows if he'll call me after that I'd like to teach him a lesson, it's good to have a girl waiting for him.)

"Who keeps a woman waiting?"

Deg.

Dafina almost choked with her own saliva.

"Who cares to keep you waiting?" asked Prince stared fixedly at Dafina.

Dafina shook her head without turning back. "Nothing makes me wait."

"Dafina, if someone talks to you, then look them in the eyes" Prince said with great pressure.

(Dafina if anyone talks to you then look into his eyes).

Dafina smiled before turning her body. He walked over to Prince with a smile.

"Hello Prince" he said, hand-waving. "Are you here? Where's Ara? How is your business in Mexico?"

"Don't converted the conversation, honey. You haven't answered my question and now you're asking me a question?"

(Don't switch the conversation, honey. You haven't answered my question and now you're asking me a question?)

"Ah onni manneun got gate. Baeksseuteijiro doragaso, peurinseu baeksseuteijiro gaja gyesok so inneun ge pigonhagettta."

(Ah eonnie you seem to be right. Let's go back to the backstage, let's Prince we go to the backstage for sure you're tired of standing still.)

"Mom, Dad."

A call made those in the room turn their eyes to a very beautiful and cute little boy. Her face was like Barbie with blue irises.

"MOMMY!" ara shouted as she ran to embrace Dafina.

Dafina lowered her body, now she was on par with Arabella's height. "Pregnant?"

"Mom, I miss u so much." Arabella immediately embraced Dafina's body. The boy was crying in his arms.

"Darling, don't cry. Mom is here with Ara." Dafina calmed her daughter.

(Dear not crying. Mom is here with Ara.)

"Mom lied to Ara, Mom didn't love Ara."

Dafina smiled as she rubbed her daughter's cheek. "When did Mom lie and didn't love Ara?"

(When did Mom lie and not love Ara?)

"Mom rarely with Ara and Daddy" he wrote.

"Ara baby listen to Mommy, okay? Mom and Dad really love Ara, but we both have to work. If Mom and Dad don't work, what Ara wants doesn't come true. Even if Mom or Dad are not with Ara, Ara must remember that we are always near you." Dafina smiled as she looked at her daughter.

(Ara dear horrified Mommy, ok? Mom and Dad love Ara, but we both have to work. If Mom and Dad don't work, what Ara wants doesn't happen. Although Mom and Dad are not the same Ara, Ara must remember that we are always near you.)

Dafina held Ara's small hand and pointed it at their chest in turn. "Here. Mom and Dad, are always in Ara's heart as well as Ara who is always by our side. So, Ara don't be sad anymore, honey." Dafina wiped the remaining tears on her son's face.

(here. Mom and Dad are always in Ara's heart and Ara is always near us. So, Ara don't be sad anymore, baby.)

"Here?" Ara pointed towards her chest.

Dafina nodded. "Yes there dear."

"Seriously, Mom? Mom and Dad can enter Ara's heart? How do you do that, Mom? Does it fit?" Ara stared innocently at Dafina.

(Seriously, Mom? Mom and Dad can get into Dada Ara? How's it going, Mom? Does it fit?)

Instantly, the room that had been quiet was filled with laughter because of a question posed by Ara.

"The Queen's done performing?" ask Prince.

"It."

"Alex!" Call Prince.

"Yes?"

Prince whispered something in Alexander's ear. It was like telling something, but it could not be heard, only the two of them could hear it.

Prince held Ara on the right while his left hand was used to hold Dafina's hand.

"Where are we going, Prince?" Dafina stopped her steps.

"You'll know soon, baby."

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
