I don’t think so,” replied Jin.
Chris said, “We missed you, man, you’ve been in the military, but you still look so handsome. Look at this beautiful man. Ok, my brother. Well.. two years ago, or two and a half years.” Jin said, “Yes.” Chris reminded him, “We sang together in Argentina.” “We performed together 2 years ago.
