Chapter 65

Nanshan Park is most famous for Nanshan Tower, which is the most popular attraction. Among the features of Nanshan Tower, the most popular and beloved is the Love Locks.

Since they had come to Nanshan Tower, there was no reason for Kim Yoo Fan and BOA not to appreciate the mysterious Love Locks and read the messages and sentiments left by those who had locked them in the past.

Of course, for safety reasons and to protect the Love Locks, which are the most popular attraction at Nanshan Tower, there are dedicated staff members who prevent any visitors from touching the locks.

Of course, this rule only applies to ordinary people. If you are a person of status and influence, not only will you not be refused, but the staff will be more than happy to assist you, as this can be a form of promotion for the Love Locks and Nanshan Tower.

If you want to touch the Love Locks, there is no problem. There is at least a small area where visitors can satisfy their curiosity.

However, with the dense and almost countless number of Love Locks, even without touching them, you can see many messages written on the locks.

Indeed, at the last stop of Nanshan Tower, BOA pulled Kim Yoo Fan to the platform where the Love Locks are placed. After half an hour of viewing the messages on the locks, BOA could no longer hold back. Without consulting Kim Yoo Fan, she directly bought a pair of her favorite pink Love Locks.

Seeing this, Kim Yoo Fan understood that BOA was also planning to lock a Love Lock, and buying a pair clearly included him.

Although pink was not Kim Yoo Fan's favorite color, considering BOA's enthusiasm and his lack of aversion to pink, he cooperated with BOA's request and sat down on an empty chair at the platform.

"OPPA, what do you plan to write?" Putting the teddy bear toy, which was about the same size as herself, aside, BOA squinted and smiled as she asked Kim Yoo Fan, who was sitting opposite her.

"Um~~~ I haven't decided yet, what about you, BoA?" Since he had never thought about locking a Love Lock before, Kim Yoo Fan was at a loss for what to write.

BOA, however, was very decisive and had a manly spirit. When faced with Kim Yoo Fan's counter-question, she did not act coy or complain that he should answer first, as other girls might.

Instead, after hearing Kim Yoo Fan's question, BOA thought seriously for a moment, then leaned over the table and began writing, reading aloud as she wrote.

"Hope that OPPA Kim Yoo Fan can be BoA's OPPA for life, and that no matter what happens, OPPA Kim Yoo Fan and BoA will never become strangers or even enemies."

After writing the date, BOA squinted and smiled, lifting her head to look at Kim Yoo Fan, who was sitting opposite her, without saying a word.

Kim Yoo Fan knew that BOA's words were clearly influenced by the recent rumors and comments. He couldn't help but smile and reach out to pat BOA's little head.

"Sweetheart, you're thinking too much!" After saying this, Kim Yoo Fan sighed.

Kim Yoo Fan found it strange why people cared so much about others' opinions and comments. No matter what others said, it had nothing to do with him, and he wouldn't gain or lose anything from it.

The idea that "three people make a tiger" was, in Kim Yoo Fan's view, a joke, just like the idea that "two fists can't fight four hands." Both were ridiculous.

In Kim Yoo Fan's mind, all of this was due to a lack of personal strength and the inability to admit one's own shortcomings and weaknesses, leading to excuses like "three people make a tiger" and "two fists can't fight four hands."

As long as you were strong, it didn't matter if three people or even the entire country of South Korea said something about you. You could rely on your strength to succeed in other countries, earn great honors, and then return, making all those rumors and comments meaningless.

As for the idea that "two fists can't fight four hands," it was simply a matter of not being strong enough. If you were strong enough, you could deal with anyone who dared to provoke you, without mercy.

Kim Yoo Fan couldn't understand why South Korean artists had such poor mental resilience. The suicide rate among South Korean artists was becoming increasingly severe, to the point where it had become a subject of research and courses at some famous universities in South Korea.

Many South Korean artists who committed suicide might have been under pressure from life or the entertainment industry's dark rules, but more often, the final straw was the attacks from ordinary people.

Combined with the depression caused by the pressure, the condition would worsen, and the artists would eventually be unable to bear the burden, leading to a complete breakdown. Those with better luck would leave the entertainment industry, while those with worse luck would take extreme measures.

In Kim Yoo Fan's view, the suicides of South Korean artists were simply a way to find a reason to die and be remembered for a while after death.

It was just talk, and it couldn't really kill you. Why care so much? Even if you cared, you could always leave the entertainment industry or move far away. There was no need to commit suicide.

However, Kim Yoo Fan seemed to forget that not everyone could have his good mindset and mental resilience, especially since he was essentially living a second life, having "died" once before, which naturally made his mental resilience and mindset stronger.

Unfortunately, BOA could not achieve this. Even ten years later, when BOA became a top Asian superstar, she probably still wouldn't have Kim Yoo Fan's mindset and mental resilience.

Take, for example, Lee Hyori, who was at the peak of her career. No one could say that Lee Hyori was not strong or lacked mental resilience. Yet, even she cried at home due to malicious comments and attacks. (In a variety show where cameras were installed in her home to record her entire day, Lee Hyori was seen crying due to malicious attacks.)

"Relax, let others say what they want. The only thing I can guarantee is that no matter what others say or whether our two agencies deliberately arrange any conflicts, as long as you still consider me your OPPA, I will always be your brother."

Hearing Kim Yoo Fan's words, BOA finally felt relieved and at ease.

Seeing BOA's reaction, Kim Yoo Fan couldn't help but smile, then took the pen BOA handed him and began writing on his Love Lock.

"Hope that in the future, I and my forever sister BoA will work hard to become the best artists in Korea, all of Asia, and even the world! Kim Yoo Fan~~~2001.2.4."

After writing, Kim Yoo Fan, like BOA, read his message aloud, then, with BOA's satisfied look, smiled and handed the Love Lock to her.

"OPPA, hurry up, let's lock the Love Locks!" Taking Kim Yoo Fan's Love Lock, BOA first read it, then stood up from her chair, laughing, and pulled Kim Yoo Fan towards the railing where the Love Locks are placed.

Finally, with Kim Yoo Fan's reminder and help, they locked their Love Locks on the innermost layer, avoiding the possibility of their locks being taken or announced if they became famous in the future, which could cause a lot of trouble.

Amid BOA's excitement and Kim Yoo Fan's sweating and gritting his teeth to resist the pressure from the surrounding Love Locks, BOA used her small hand to lock their Love Locks.

Finally, both of them stood in front of their Love Locks, looking at the dense and indistinguishable locks. They didn't speak, just standing quietly in front of the Love Locks, silently wishing that their friendship would never change and that they would always be as close as they are now, unaffected by the outside world.
