A breeze ruffles fir branches, but fir leaves dare not to rustle, in case its rustling noise disturbs the narrator's speaking of relationship issues.
He has witnessed so many love stories in movies and in reality.
He has witnessed a woman who has traveled far across through mountains and seas over one thousand miles for meeting her husband.
He has witnessed a woman who has worked through all hours at restaurant for keeping her boyfriend engaged in writing without worries.
He has witnessed a woman who has rejected thirty of excellent followers for the man who once walked in her heart, and left away from her life.
He admires those women who dare to love.
He envies those men who deserve to be loved by those faithful women.
He doesn't know what a love like theirs feels like:
A love to survive distance of mountains and seas for, a love to survive bitterness of sad reality for, a love to survive loneliness of many springs for.
But he knows if he had ever felt that kind of love, he would have courage to seize it.
He doesn't know why they would sacrifice themselves for a foolish love.
But he knows he would do the same, if he was stuck in a foolish love.
It's a kind of foolish love, but that drives so many infatuated lovers to sacrifice for.
Solar shares his experience with Lunar, speaking of relationship issues.
Solar: Speaking of relationship issues, it reminds me of those infatuated lovers.
Lunar: Infatuated lovers?
Solar: I have witnessed a woman who has traveled far across through mountains and seas over one thousand miles for meeting her husband.
I have witnessed a woman who has worked through all hours at restaurant for keeping her boyfriend engaged in writing without worries.
I have witnessed a woman who has rejected thirty of excellent followers for the man who once walked in her heart, and left away from her life.
It's a kind of foolish love, that drives so many lovers to sacrifice for.
Lunar: If you had ever felt that kind of love before your eyes, would you sacrifice for it?
Solar: If love is so hot as flame, I would be the moth flying upon the flame. I have also witnessed so many youngsters who were stuck in a foolish love, would sacrifice for it.
Lunar: It is a kind of relationship issue, isn't it?
Solar: Yes.
Lunar: What kind of relationship issues are faced by students?
Solar: They have poor communication, that leads to misunderstandings, assumptions, and bottled-up feelings.
Lunar: What is the solution to poor communication?
Solar: They should set aside time for real conversations without phones. The text is too pale for deep affection. They should communicate through video call instead of text.
Lunar: Go ahead.
Solar: They have long-distance blues due to physical separation, that causes loneliness, jealousy and out of sync.
The quantity of calls is not enough, the quality of calls is required to share daily lives with daily daily post and photos to feel included.
They have time management struggles, because one feels neglected without company, or one feels smothered with less alone time.
They should schedule time for studying, socializing and personal time. Spending time apart on hobbies and on a relationship can keep a relationship balanced.
They have changing identities, because one develops new interests, values or goals that don't align like they used to.
They should have a honest conversation about goals, and support each other's goals, even if it means acknowledging they are growing in different directions.
…
Lunar: Have you ever involved with a relationship issue?
Solar: If I said no, it would be a lie.
Lunar: Why would lie about your feelings?
Solar: Because it's too embarrassed to admit true feelings, or it might spoil everything, if I confessed true feelings not at a right timing.
Lunar: You did have ever involved with a relationship issue, didn't you?
Solar: Yes.
Lunar: What was it?
Solar: Long-distance blues. Each time I miss of you at night with moon, I would howl at the moon, as if the moon could pass my messages to you.
Lunar: I have been napping through one thousand nights in the past three years. But each time I miss of you, you would appear in my dreams.
Solar: I often dream of you, too.
Lunar: Let's put paid to it.
How many of your students have ever involved with a relationship issue?
Solar: All of them. It takes guidance to guide them how to deal with relationship issues.
In case they might be stuck in a foolish love or do foolish things.
Lunar: What kind of essay did you assign to them?
Solar: It's an essay about relationship issues.
Ask yourself what kind of relationship problem are you faced with? How are you feeling during struggling with a relationship issue? How do you deal with it?
Lunar: May you please tell me some of your students' works?
Solar: The biggest problem that I faced was adjusting a long-distance relationship with my foreign girlfriend.
I felt lonely and frustrated, while being miles apart. When I saw couples walking in twos, I wrote down my daily post to maintain a relationship that suddenly felt forced.
To deal with it, I uploaded daily post with verses and flowers to maintain a relationship, and shared my daily life to make her feel included. Lonely Prince.
Lunar: Lonely Prince really maintained a long-distance relationship, didn't he?
Solar: Yes. The quantity of daily posts is not as good as the quality of daily posts. He should learn when to let go, when a long-distance relationship has caused him pains.
Lunar: The next, please.
Solar: I struggled with the realization that my partner and I were simply going apart.
We used to be romantic, but I grew more mature. I started to worry about our future, which was not the future that I pictured for myself.
I dealt with it by having an honest conversation. We acknowledged that we changed, and made the mature decision to part ways peacefully.
Which allowed us to grow into the people we needed to become.
Lunar: Miss Detachment was too mature, wasn't she?
Solar: Yes. Parting ways peacefully is better than suffering together with pains and future uncertainty.
