"I contacted my senior in early January and exchanged New Year's greetings. I proposed that we do a dinner show together on May 8th of this year. I said that I would do it if the date was decided..."
He was disappointed. He also said, "Senior was very happy about the dinner show. The planning company for Senior's performance had contacted me, and Senior knew everything about the arrangements that were being made.
"I don't have a senior like me anymore, so who should I perform live with from now on? I feel so lonely," she added. "Even when we appeared on TV, we knew each other well.
"I wonder if he will accept me this way," "If he does this, I will react like this," and so on. We communicated without saying a word... My senior and I are both Christians, from the same hometown, and have a deep connection.
We were good friends and we prayed together before going to work and before meals. I hope you will watch over me from heaven. I will come to see you one day, so please wait patiently until then. I love you. Thank you."
