♡ LOVE YOURSELF: CHAELIN'S STORY ♡
Promotional Poster
Chaelin Version
나는 돌아갈 수 있었으면 좋겠다. ▶︎ I wish I could return.
♡
起 - Wonder (Introduction)
"Some moments become more vivid with the passage of time. Yesterdays many encounters and goodbyes existed for this moment. Every alley and crossroad I walked through, were meant to led me to this very place. That kind of moment is what I mean."
Chaelin is barely pictured. Her "scenes" show a young girl, playing on a playground, happily chasing a butterfly. As the girl stops, she looks over to see a young boy a few years older than her who smiles at her and she smiles back. The scene ends with Chaelin opening her eyes, sitting on a bench at the now abandoned playground, no other person in sight.
承 - Her (Development)
"The sound of cicadas that chirred like showers end in an instant. In the abrupt silence, I realise life's immense beauty. Just the fact that you are in it, makes all the difference. Even if this were a dream, this is where I choose to be."
Chaelin is shown with the same boy, now grown up, (who was later revealed to be "The Boyz's" Younghoon), walking alongside a street at night. She stopped at a shop, looking through the window at toys for young children with wide, sad but also scared eyes before moving along.
"Why is it, that the happiest of moments usher in utter fear?"
轉 - Tear (Turn)
"Looking back, I had known all along that underneath the glittering world before my eyes lay my deception, that everything was to collapse with a breath of wind. I turned away, sidestepped, simply closed my eyes. I was afraid, afraid to be loved for who I am."
Chaelin and the guy are pictured fighting. She is trying to which does not work, before she runs through the streets, seemingly fleeing from him. The shop she walked by in the reel before that was shown again before she dropped to her knees on the same abandoned playground from the first reel.
結 - Answer (Conclusion)
"If we could turn back the clock, where should we go back to? Once we reach that place, can all our mistakes and errors be undone? Will happiness be ours to stay?"
Old scenes from Chaelin in "I Need U" and "Run" were shown, before the scenes cut back to Jin. The scenes shown were the ones with the crib and teddy bear, and the partying scenes from "Run".
"Though many seasons pass, there are places that cannot be reached. Yet another storm to be faced and to be weathered head-on. Loving without fear. Hesitating and parting. Merely living as the person I am."
