I think I thought of a hundred examples of what to put on the X bus. When I was thinking, Min Ji-ho and Han Hyo-seok were very annoying next to me.
“Write an exclamation point hyung!”
“You can’t listen to him. But please listen to me.”
annoying things… … .
Since the two of them received the song separately and were included in the track list, the two became best friends.
After resting for a while at the dormitory, we gathered in the living room and checked the choreography draft. The music video was filmed two days later, so I didn’t have much time. First of all, I was thinking of learning the choreography with my eyes.
The choreography video was taken in TRV’s practice room, and Min Ji-ho, who took the lead in this choreography, Han Hyo-seok, who played the role of pressing the choreography so that it does not become too tight due to the nature of the song, and UO were together.
It was a stage where more dancers than our members participated together, and it was a performance in itself that First Light had not tried before.
The dancer hyung, who had my name tag on, disappeared from my part trembling.
“… … can you do that?”
This is the first time I’ve come across a cute concept like this, so Hwang Sae-byeok, who was the most fearful ever, asked me. I replied blatantly.
“Yeah, why not?”
“Hey, I… … .”
“What’s so hard about aegyo, isn’t it… … .”
“It’s a matter of being cute. Aegyo is easy. yes yes.”
Dawn Byeok cut off what I was talking about and took it away. I think I used to say this a lot when I was younger. Now that I think about it, I was the kind of person who caused annoyance.
After the choreography video was over, Min Ji-ho was looking at the members with his eyes twinkling with a look of hope for praise from anyone. So I deliberately ignored it.
“Oh, I am tired. Are you okay?”
Hwang Sae-byeok immediately understood and answered my words.
“Let’s have a late-night snack, we have to practice from dawn. Someone who eats dinner.”
“Brother, let’s have chicken feet.”
“Yeah, do that too.”
When asked to have a late night snack, the members answered that they knew everything, and they were talking about what they wanted to eat, so Min Ji-ho grabbed Park Seon-jae and Shin Ji-woon and sat them down so they couldn’t get up. Hwang Sae-byeok opened his mouth as anyone could see his expression on his face.
“To be honest, you are a genius.”
“Uh, I hate to praise you, but honestly, a genius is a genius.”
Even after I answered, Min Ji-ho was still looking around. So Joo-won Ahn patted Min Ji-ho on the back and said.
“Good. Really great, you. I didn’t respond because the kids were making fun of me.”
All the members giggled at Ahn Joo-won’s words, so then I realized that Min Ji-ho didn’t compliment me to make fun of him, so I was relieved and covered my face with both hands.
“Oh, don’t. I mean, I was really scared because I thought I was really bad at choreography.”
At those words, Han Hyo-seok smirked.
“Could that be bad? Why are you scared?”
“To be honest, you were a little scared too.”
“… … Honestly, how can you not be scared here?”
“Hyungs, here’s the pre-chorus choreography made by Hyoshik.”
“okay? I really didn’t know. It’s not like Hyo-seok’s usual style. Really well made.”
“I know yeah. It’s just fun all the time with no splashing parts.”
The members talked about the good parts, whether they liked it or not. Min Ji-ho, who received a lot of praise, was the loudest. In the meantime, he did not miss discussing the parts he wanted to edit or add from time to time.
After writing down what the members were saying, we watched the choreography video one more time.
Perhaps each of us is imagining a time when we stood on stage in our heads. Because that’s our job.
I was imagining the stage in my head, but I fell asleep in the middle and the members woke me up.
“Brother, eat dinner.”
“You eat it. I will cut it.”
The members came down from the sofa to have a late night snack, and I went up to the sofa and slept in one corner. The members were absurd and said one word at a time.
“Oh, go and sleep.”
“I don’t like it.”
“Why are you sleeping over there? Anyway, he said he likes to see us together, but Ji likes it the most.”
I heard Shin Ji-woon’s screaming. I want to say that I don’t have the stamina to enter the room because I’m sleepy, but I don’t have the strength to do so. Strangely, the smell of food, the sound of the members chatting, and the sound of the drama turned on on the TV sounded like a lullaby.

The choreography was easy to see, but it consisted of movements that required a lot of energy. What was especially difficult was that we had to manage our facial expressions to match the bright mood of the song this time.
As I practiced all night for two days, in the car moving to the music video shoot, all the members fell asleep as if almost fainted.
But I couldn’t sleep at all.
excited
“I can’t even remember the last time I saw the sea… … .”
Most of this music video was shot in a studio, but there were some beach shots. I tried to remember the last time I saw the sea. Anyway, after my sister went to study abroad, she had never been to the sea, so it must have been before the age of ten.
Whether it was a good memory of playing with my family each time, it remained as a good memory in my head.
The filming location was a cafe building on a hill overlooking the sea. The building was rented for a week, and the filming team decorated it like a house. It seems like every good place has a cafe these days.
Anyway, as soon as we entered the building that was already ready for filming, the members’ expressions were excited.
“Wow, the sea looks really good.”
The members followed Min Ji-ho’s words.
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the sea. It was a beautiful day, so the colors were vivid as if the sky had just corrected it.
In this music video, there was an acting part to match the lyrics with a fresh storyline of first love.
The main character of the story was Ahn Joo-won.
“No actor, no actor.”
As the members surrounded us and made fun of us, Joo-won Ahn pushed us with the most painful face he had ever seen.
“Oh, please… … .”
We laughed and teased a little more and then backed off. Ahn Joo-won acted walking on a beach road with a new actress from our agency, but it was finished at once, probably because we were watching. Ahn Joo-won’s wish that he did not want to act twice in front of the members came true.
The rest of the members were also taking individual photos in and around the building, and with the sea in the background, it was their turn to choreograph from the beginning for the first time. Hwang Sae-byeok spoke like a leader.
“Think of it as the first stage and let’s focus on it.”
“Oh, leader.”
I said to Shin Ji-woon’s words.
“Don’t make fun of me, if I make fun of you, I might never do it again.”
“Oh, yes. I won’t make fun of you again.”
Hwang Sae-byeok waved his hand to turn it off as if it was a waste of stamina to get irritated, and immediately the choreography began.
The moment when the choreography starts in good weather and in a beautiful background. Perhaps I was immediately convinced that the sunbursts would like this music video. There were a lot of pair choreography during the choreography, so I often made eye contact with the members, and I read that the members had the same thoughts on their faces each time. You can feel the passion of the members in the light choreography.
After the choreography went round, the staff became the first audience to applaud and cheer.
“Para is cool!”
“Wow, this is really… … . This will happen.”
We finished filming in such a state of excitement.

It took two full days just to film the beach. The members took turns sleeping in the corner of the set. Then the status window appeared.

There really wasn’t much left, but it was slowing down a bit.
I sneakily pulled out my phone and turned on YouTube.
When I looked at the first screen of YouTube, videos of TYT’s new survival survival ＜The Thirteen> were floating as recommendations. A new survival was underway.
Without looking closely, I quickly entered the video on a sunny day and tapped ‘Like’. Then, I went around and asked the members and staff to press ‘Like’. Fortunately, everyone pressed it gently. Heh heh heh… … .

[You can open a new roulette]
[Currently, only 1 roulette can be used simultaneously]]
[Are you sure you want to?]
uh, wait a minute.
Can’t you open it now?
Still trying to figure out what kind of roulette it was, a TRV employee suddenly appeared with a gift-wrapped box.
“Mr. Hae-won. I was originally going to give it to you right before the comeback, but… … . I was wondering if the company would like to give it to you sooner rather than later.”
“What?”
I was curious, so the TRV staff handed me a gift box.
I was still sleeping while waiting for my turn, but I woke up excited no matter what. I opened the package and checked the box with the knife the staff gave me.
It was a custom in-ear.
As I was at a loss for words for a moment, the members flocked to me.
“Get it out quickly!”
Min Ji-ho urged me to take out my custom in-ears.
It was a subtle purple jewel design, and the word ‘sea’ was written in Korean on the left.
“uh… … How did you know this?”
When I asked, the staff said.
“The members told me that Haewon likes purple, and that the name of the cat I had when I was young was Bada.”
Then I remember saying something like that.
When I was young, when I went to the sea on a family trip, I met a cat at the beach and brought it home. The cat was named after the sea. It seems that he was already quite old even then, and after that, he lived with us for another 5 years.
To me, the sea is a friend, and at times, it is rather an adult. It was a very mature cat.

Originally, I didn’t like the cat very much. Because he wasn’t a very sociable guy. Then I became close with the sea after my sister, the cat’s favorite person, left for England at the age of 20.
When I miss my sister, I think I went to her bed and cried. It must have been difficult to endure the first loss of a ten-year-old life.
I fell asleep there, and when I woke up, the sea was sleeping next to me. I’m getting used to sleeping with the sea.
Anyway, because Choi Ae left, the sea often played with me, and after that friend left, I decided that I would never raise animals again.
So the sea is my first and last cat in my life. I wanted to make a song about that cat someday.
“Oh, it feels really weird… … . No, shouldn’t we cry every time we see In-Ear?”
Shin Ji-woon said because I was grunting for nothing.
“Look, I told you I’d like to see it or not, and pretend I didn’t like it.”
“When did I pretend I didn’t like it? It’s just good.”
“It’s the attitude of someone you really like, isn’t it?”
No, how much more do you like it? … .
I just ignored it and looked at my custom in-ears. It was just to my liking that it wasn’t too flashy, and it wasn’t modest either. It fits perfectly in my ear.
“Oh, that’s great. thank you A little thank you too.”
I quickly pulled out the in-ears and handed them over to the manager Park Joong-woon, who manages the in-ears before the members start to criticize them for saying that they are a little bit.
“I want to stand on stage soon.”
At my words, Min Ji-ho tried to shout, ‘Me too,’ but before that, Han Hyo-seok quickly covered his mouth. Thank you.
