🎵: while we were introducing Astro’s song I had a thought - another benefit of becoming an adult is we can make better decisions on our own
🐻: yeah I think that’s the case for most people! Although a small group still do keep their childhood innocence/naivety~

[song: “Fanfare” by Davichi]
LaiLai said this song is really suitable for when spring transitions into summer and through this song it expresses the feelings of deepening love as it uses seasons as a metaphor for love. LL said this album’s songs are very comforting as well~

Kun asked LaiLai how he weighs romantic love against friendship love and LL said they’re about the same because he’s not a people person (LMAOOO mood)
🎵: sorry Ma laoshi 😂 (aka guozhen lol)

~opening~
🐻: Today is 520~ happy 520 everyone! “I love you” haha. We may often hear people say that things will get easier once we get into college or that everything will be good once we get a job, but in reality, we may realize it’s not like this. We may not have it easier or+

+ smoother, but along the path in life little by little we can discover the things we love!

~Today’s TMI~
OP’s bday is in May but couldn’t celebrate w/ friends bc of the p*ndemic and hoped the situation would get better so they can study abroad in china and also meet kun+

~New KPOP w/ LaiLai~
🐻: LaiLai what do u think the best things are about becoming an adult?
🎵: *joking* well I /just/ turned 18 so 😂 Anyway I think independence/freedom to manage my time is the biggest thing. Up through high school, I’m sure everyone experiences this but +

+ from Monday to Friday your schedules are jam-packed with classes and even need to go to study hall at night and supplemental/tutoring classes in the weekends

[song: “DEEP” by HYO]
🐻: ahh I know Hyoyeon noona released a lot of solos including when she was DJ-ing and later on like Dessert - back then we also danced to her Dessert challenge! It was quite fun~
