It was in Seoul, which was surprising. After that, I saw her more while walking home from practicing (for debut). But we still lost touch because we spent less time with each other than we did apart. But now, I can see her more. I can even invite her to my radio show. No Eul, congratulations on your debut and I’ve missed you! You’re still pretty. Come to Chin Chin soon.”
