***Scroll down if you wanna see the editorial note, which details the storyline and my intentions*** Happy birthday Kristelle! Yay you're one year older ._. Thank you for watching!!! If you liked it, go ahead and share with your friends, and like-comment-subscribe if you feel like it :D I took influences from at least 3 other kpop videos; can you tell what they are? :D A big thank you to the Fluharty family for providing an excellent location for dancing. Check out Big League Haircuts (http://www.bigleaguehaircutsindianapa.com/) where we shot a lot of the dance portion, if you're ever in need of a haircut in Indiana, PA! (Disclaimer: They are not paying me to advertise them :) ) Huge thanks go to my brothers - Hamyo, L-Dragon, and Mushy - for putting in the time to learn the dance with me :) Without you guys it'd be a lame solo dance A shoutout to the excellent filmers, Fadil, Sire Hamana, and Xinran for providing me awesome footage to work with. Without you guys there'd be no video, and I wouldn't be able to be in it :O Thanks to Kristelle for playing the girl I hopelessly romantically chase after. I would also like to mention that I am very grateful to my parents for allowing us to turn the living room into a practice dance studio and putting up with it for a solid week. ^_^ ************************** Editorial note: This music video is probably the first storyline that I've ever had a complete storyline for. The story begins with the male protagonist (all the male dancer-actors play this same role at one point or another) dreaming about a past, forlorn love that he desires to return to. Essentially, the girl exists only in fiction for him, in his dreams. At 1:09 in the music video (going along with the music), he gets a revelation from the fictional version of the girl. If you stop precisely at the four images during those "revelations", it shows the white glove, the note, a sunset, and her-- signifying the chain of events that would lead him back to her. The protagonist then finds the glove, leading him to the other glove stuck in a book along with a note. Written on the note in Korean statement, "You'll find me, right?", in addition to the symbols for Wikipedia and Infinite, hinting that the combination of those two will lead him to her. The male protagonist then connects the dots and looks up Infinite on Wikipedia, triggering an event in which he feels her touch on his shoulder (his facepalming was because he couldn't figure out what its purpose was before the event was triggered). He runs out, and checks his phone, which mysteriously turns back from 12:30 to 12:00. The significance for this is taken from the Beast MV for "12:30": as seen on an analog clock, the arms of the clock are the farthest apart at 12:30 (analogous to the two people in a relationship are most separated) and closest to each other at 12:00. Thus, through some twist of magic, he is transported to "fiction" to be right where she is (occurring when he drops the phone out of disbelief). When he picks up the phone, it continues to show 12:00, when she shows up, holding out her hand with the same white gloves on. Filled with unadulterated happiness, he spends the whole of his time with her in this fictional world. Unfortunately, his time runs out, and he must return to reality-- the transformation of the environment to the wooded grassy area. He is forced with no recourse but to continue on with life, never forgetting her and sometimes feeling her presence (the scene outside when a gloved hand holds his hand but disappears). The end scene shows the male protagonist sitting and checking his clock, which reads 12:15 (signifying the girl is getting closer than before). When he walks to check the door, he puts the clock down, which then read 12:00. The girl sticks out her now-ungloved hand to him, showing that she has finally arrived in reality. When they leave together, the gloves left behind shows that their relationship lives in reality, and they leave fiction (the gloves) behind.
