"Yo! Yook Sungjae! Long time no see, man! You finally back," Peniel hugs Sungjae the moment he sees him.

"I know right." Sungjae hugs Peniel back. "I got some gifts for you.", says Sungjae while giving a bag of gifts to him.

"Ah, thank you. From Canada?" Peniel asks.

"And Australia," Sungjae adds.

"Australia?!" Peniel in disbelief, can't believe what he heard.

Sungjae nods. "And Australia," he emphasizes. 

"Oh wow. Which part of Australia?"

"Melbourne."

"Melbourne.. did you like your first visit there that you visited it again?" Peniel asks. "Wait.. Isn't it where Carp is? Did you go there to meet her?" Peniel asks suspiciously.

"Of course not. I just want to visit the beach that I saw in my dream. Hoping it can comfort me like it did in my dream and it did. You should visit there someday."

"So, you didn't meet her?" Peniel asks.

Sungjae sighs. "I did," he confesses. Peniel will know he's lying even when he says no, so he's telling the truth.

"Tell me more about it!"

"I just happened to meet her and I told her about my dreams. Then, she gave me advice to handle it. I'm still trying it now."

Peniel is amused to hear it. Sungjae always hides the fact about his dream, but he told Carp about it. "What's her advice?"

-----------------------------------

"Hyung, can you check the lyric that I wrote?" Sungjae shows the lyric to Peniel. Sungjae changes the topic after he finished explaining Peniel Joy's advice. 

Since he arrived in Seoul, Sungjae gets some vocal lessons and other lessons to regain his confidence. He tries to compose songs for VISION too in his free time. After months of the lesson, he manages to be passionate to sing for others again.

Peniel reads it through. "It's good. I feel comforted reading this. This part, isn't this what Carp send you? I think I've read this before."

"Maybe. I think it fits for the song."

"It is, but don't you need her permission? What if she sues you because of this?" Peniel asks half-joking.

"Eii, hyung, no way that'll happen. Why would people sue others just because their messages is used as lyric?"

"I'm joking. She'll probably just let it slide, but I still think it'll be good if you tell her about this. I bet she'll be happy."

"I'll let her know then," Sungjae says.

"How? You don't allow me replying to her texts." Peniel replies. "Wait! It's been a while since I receive a text from her. You can chat with her now? You used to hate the idea, but now you're chatting with her?!"

Sungjae doesn't answer.

"Woah, Yook Sungjae. You must have been close with her now," Peniel says again.

"What are you talking about? We're just friends." Sungjae says. He is flustered. He can't understand how Peniel goes to that conclusion when he doesn't tell him much about his meeting with Joy. His best friend can be scary sometimes.
