"This place is really great. I understand now why you always coming to this place" Myungsoo can't deny that the food in that restaurant is really good.

"Told ya hyung~ next time try their Samgyetang, it is really good!" James replied while him and Myungsoo are busy killing their Kimchi jjigae. ".. by the way, halmeoni might ask to take your picture later, she is going to post it in the wall" he added.

"Sure, no problem.." Myungsoo replied as he look at the wall where the other photos of celebrities were posted. ".. who's that woman with you in the photo? the one on the left of the photo of you and Irene?" he asked

James looked at it for a couple of second to see who is Myungsoo talking about, "Oh~ it's Goeun noona".

"Jinjja? you eat here with Kim Go-eun?" Myungsoo is a little surprised to find that out.

"Yeah... uh, actually all those people are on the wall because of me" James chuckles, he then explained that before his career exploded, he is a frequent customer of the restaurant.
