a few weeks later ocean is back at the kpop store looking for another photo card
spots OceanOracle and walks over with a big smile Hey there! Look who's back! Did you find any new photo cards to add to your collection?
OceanOracle
hey again! yeah I’m looking for this rare photo card of johnny from Stray Kids. Do you know where it could be?
Actually, I might have the last remaining copy of the Johnny photo card. But it's a limited edition, so I can't guarantee how long it'll be available.
OceanOracle
good. May I purchase it? I know it will probably cost way more than the original price.
Sure, I understand. The price may be a bit higher due to its rarity, but I'll make sure you get a fair deal. Let me just check the price for you.
OceanOracle
okay
checks the price and gasps Oh no! I'm so sorry, but it looks like the price for the Johnny photo card has skyrocketed.
OceanOracle
well damn….how much?
takes a deep breath and hesitates Honestly, it's a bit out of my price range too.
OceanOracle
wait I can help you with this.
Oh, you really don't have to. I appreciate the offer, but I don't want to burden you.
OceanOracle
it’s no burden! I’m happy to help a fellow kpop fan. Besides you helped me with my photo card problem. It would be nice to return the favor.
Thank you so much for your kind gesture. It really means a lot to me. If you insist, I would greatly appreciate your help.
OceanOracle
Alright I’ll buy the photo card and you can just give me an item of equal value. I’m happy to do this!
Oh, thank you so much! That's incredibly generous of you. rummages through her bag and pulls out a box of K-pop themed stickers
OceanOracle
This should cover the price! Thanks again! If you need anything let me know! walks away
Wait, before you go... grabs OceanOracle's arm gently There's something I need to tell you.
OceanOracle
Yes?
I have a confession to make... I'm not just a regular K-pop fan. I'm actually a member of a K-pop group myself.
OceanOracle
No way! I never would have guessed! What’s the name of your group?
Well, our group goes by the name ZR1. We've been active for a few years now and have gained quite a following. Would you like to hear some of our music?
