vlive.tv/post/0-28131396

he's currently playing the music box version of Go!, which was released yesterday ♥

⚔ nice to meet you! there's a lot of people coming in. i asked in weverse if we've read "ill take a break today" but carats mustve thought i was going live that day so sorry about that

⚔ it's so nice to be able to read a book and talk with carats in this time. tonight i'll be reading the book titled "오늘은 이만 좀 쉴게요" (i'll just take a break today)

t/n: we will not be translating the book itself as he reads! hope you understand 🙏

⚔ if you feel sleepy as i read the book to you, please sleep immediately ^^

he's reading the prologue part of the book wherein it asks the reader to close their eyes and just not think of anything as a form of meditating and relaxation

dk's so cute 😞 before he started reading he asked carats if the music was too loud... he went "is it too loud? how about now? is it good? ok~"

the prologue he read earlier:

"first, close the book for a while and close your eyes. by closing your eyes, it'll help you to calm down, so try to do so. then, do this to the things that constrains your rest."

⚔ ah how nervewracking! let me drink some water. is my voice too loud? should i stay back (from the mic of the phone) or is this alright? i feel nervous since it's been a while...

dk reading a part of the book 😆 he laughed at what he said too 😭

⚔ "today, i'll take a break" all together, "for a short while"

⚔ when you're too used and familiar with things, you tend to forget how thankful you are. i think it's great to be thankful to the precious people around us. whenever we perform with carats, i realize how thankful i am to have carats in front of me especially in tough times

⚔ i truly felt the preciousness of carats in front of me and i hope that this time (of the pandemic) goes by. im sure everyone has been going through a hard time and you're filled with worries. everyone has hardships in their lives, so may we be thankful whether we have +

hardships or good moments together. i also think that i'm someone who's very lacking so wouldn't it be nice if we all move forward together?

⚔ since i'm very nervous let me just apply some lip balm

there's a part of the book he read earlier which says, "don't be swayed by the criticisms around you"

⚔ "the fact that people only see as much as they know is that they cannot fully understand what you've drawn in your head" reading this part +

im someone who cares about the gaze of other people and tend to regret a lot afterwards, but i should know how to let it go to one side when other people say something.

as dk reads the book to us, he keeps on stumbling with his words that's why he said "ah why am i like this why am i like this;;" then afterwards he joked about how carats are sleepy so he said "since people are sleepy i will now end the live" then giggles over his joke T___T

about the page on "to make time meaningful,"

⚔ there are times when i casually spend my day, when i'm too busy, when i spend it meaninglessly. but, i often think if i spent my day well as i spend it like that. even if it doesnt seem impt, time's is impt to spend meaningfully

⚔ how do we use our time well? i think this part is difficult for me as well. it's true that we cannot turn back time. as i read this, i think it'd be great to spend more meaningful time together starting today carats.

⚔ i don't think that what's meaningful is something grand. we can give meaning to little things. since we are the ones who can personally make it, i can also think about this and share what i feel and have a meaningful time with carats. let us let go of our lethargic thoughts.

💎 i've been crying a lot these days but thanks to dk, i feel better
⚔ thank you. i don't know the reason why you cried but it's great that you feel better as i read this book.

we all do dk 🥺

📖 let's think positively at least once a day

⚔ first, the title is great. it says in the book that our brain is designed to think negatively rather than positively. don't you think so? i think i'm bound to feel worried and anxious. +

⚔ this person achieved his goals step by step. in that process of achieving it, he had lots of goals and resolutions. i feel like dreaming is necessary for everyone, and that itself was greatly a driving force. i think it's hard to move without such a goal and purpose.

💎 does dokyeom have a goal & purpose?
⚔ sometimes you can be lethargic and think that you should do more of what you can do rather than spend time meaninglessly. i think it's good to promote with a great mind. i won't simply just do it but ill do activities with those in mind.

⚔ as i read this book, i hope everyone had a warm time. i really want to tell you that i had a great day today and... you did well! you overcame it today!

end of live trans! may contain inaccuracies

may everyone start or end their days well with dk's lovely thoughts in mind. whatever it is that you're going through, please do remember that you're not alone ♥ let's all take dk's words into heart and put them into action too<3
