'Happy birthday Ran ah~'

'Thanks Oppa! 

Can't believe you

 still remember!'

'Of course I'll remember! 

It's THE most 

special day today.'

'I read the news.

 Congrats Oppa!

 I know you've been preparing

 this for a long time

 but heck,

 I'm glad it's finally

 being announced!

 About time you 

get some rest, 

you've been working

 yourself out too

 much lately.'

'And I chose to 

announce it on 

your birthday~ 

See what I did there?'

'Oppa, 

you don't expect

 me to believe that

 you have purposely 

made them announce

 the news of your new

 company on my birthday.'

'That's exactly 

what I just did!'

'Why?!'

'Can't you see the reason? 

Or you're pretending 

you don't know, 

the way you have been

 in the past 7 years?'

'Oppa...

you know we're close friends...

you know why we 

have to stay this way.'

'And I believe 7 years'

enough for you to 

realize that I truly 

meant what I said to

you back in 2016.'

'You belong in your world, 

Oppa, 

and I in mine.

I can't even remember

 when's the last time 

I got cast in a project, 

sang on stage or 

danced in a studio.'

'Come to my company,

Ran ah. 

I'll make sure the world

will see just how bright 

and brilliant you are.'

'And have your name

 in the headlines for 

the wrong reason again?

 No I will not!'

'Fine, it's your birthday,

I'll end this conversation here. 

But I do hope you 

can see my sincerity.

I did not pick this date randomly.'

'I appreciate 

that very much,

 Oppa, I truly do.'

'Well now that you've 

been to Canada, Japan & Thailand,

what's your next destination? 

You told me that you'll be

able to make a decision after

going on a vacation. 

Well, will you remain 

an artist or leave that

all behind and start afresh?'

'I'm born for the stage, 

just like you, 

and yes my heart craves for it. 

But...

I can't have my parents

 constantly worrying 

about my future for me.'

'If you really don't

want to join me at I&B100,

I'll recommend you to

my friend's company,

they'll take good care of you.'

'Thanks for the offer,

 Oppa. I appreciate it.

 But I wish not to add

 yet another thing 

to the already lengthy 

list of what I owe you...'

'Who am I to blame?

That's all I can do for you. 

And no, you don't owe

me anything, except

your true heart...

Anyway...

Oh how I miss playing 

games with you 

and hanging out at your place!'

'Stop by whenever you like,

 Kungfu misses you as well.'

'I will,

when my solo's almost ready.

I wanna let you be the 

first person to listen to it~'
