confession,
schedule 02, turning in lyrics for upcoming comeback
it was pretty weird, wasn’t it?
taewoo had written these lyrics, at first, as something to simply get them out of his head, out of his veins, out of his heart. instead, though, they turned into a full-fledged song, and then into a melody that matched that of one another member of static was working on. before he could grasp on exactly what was going on, “shine” was born: it went from something he had hoped to keep close to himself to something he was submitting to the company for their upcoming comeback (and soon after that, it had been decided that “shine” was going to be used as the title song).
how was he supposed to feel? this song was meant to be a confession to lina -- his true, honest feelings being pushed out to the public, forever engraved into the world not just through a song, but in a music video and countless promoted stages, too.
taewoo felt naked. how was he going to come to terms with what exactly was going on? how long was he going to keep this secret of his before it all came out and exploded?
he was going to have to confess to lina, wasn’t he.
he was laying on his bed, staring up at the ceiling while wondering how exactly to go about everything. there were a lot of ways the upcoming months could go, many of which were awful and never something he could wish for.
way 1: he begs that the song never sees the light of day and everything can be avoided way 2: the song is released, but he pleads to not credit his name to the lyrics, so everything can be avoided way 3: the song is released with his credit for writing the lyrics, but he never brings it up to lina, they can remain friends (or whatever they are right now) and everything will be fine way 3: the song is released with his credit and lina asks about it, he avoids confirming that he wrote the song while daydreaming about her way 4: the song is released with his credit and lina asks about it, he tells the truth and she avoids him at all costs because he made it weird way 5: the song is released with his credit and lina asks about it, he tells the truth and she is ok with it, but doesn’t feel the same, so now it’s awkward way 6: the song is released with his credit and lina asks about it, he tells the truth and she says that she likes him too but doesn’t want to date way 7: the song is released with his credit and lina asks about it, he tells the truth and she says she likes him too and they start dating way 8: the song is released with his credit and lina asks about it, he tells the truth and they start dating but it comes out to the public and ruins both of their careers way 9: the song is released with his credit and he tells lina the truth, she now avoids him at all costs way 10: the song is released with his credit and he tells lina that the song is about her, they start dating, get married, have kids, and live happily ever after while doing everything they want to in life
god, how bad he wants the last option to come true. god, how bad it is that it is a one in a million chance of coming true.
is it worth risking everything?
