Chapter 53 Sounds good(1/2)
From a long time ago...maybe when he learned that Ji Kyung-won was about to make a solo debut, or maybe he accidentally heard Kang Seul-gi saying that the inspiration for the title song was about relationships and ex-girlfriends, Bae Joo-hyun has always been interested in this song.
The song stayed in my heart.
In addition to curiosity... in fact, what's more important is an emotion that she can't quite explain.
If we have to translate it and summarize it, this emotion can be barely understood as...the ex-girlfriend he mentioned was inspired by me, and whether he wrote this song because he broke up with me.
Also, what exactly did he write in this song.
Unlike most Kpop songwriters who like to use inertial techniques to create, Bae Zhuhyun knows that Ji Kyung-won likes to use some inspiration from life and emotions to create. Although he also uses some techniques to polish,
Compared with mechanical lyrics, he will have some emotions and feelings mixed in it.
Just like the old "Let It Be".
As Chi Jingyuan's solo date approached, her curiosity became more and more intense. Unfortunately, she didn't hear it during the pre-recording the day before yesterday, so she could only wait for the official release date of the song.
Fortunately, red velvet got off work early today. After she came back after eleven o'clock, she did not participate in other people's chat activities. She took an early shower and lay on the bed until the moment when the music source was released.
Because she wasn't interested in the big-breasted girl who was quite popular in the past two days... so she didn't watch the MV, but simply listened to the song.
In just the first second and first line of the song, when she heard Chi Jingyuan's familiar voice singing those lyrics, she felt as if an indescribable force rushed straight into her heart.
"We once loved each other, when we met."
"It becomes an unforgettable memory."
The cheerful tune was pleasant to the ear, but the content of the lyrics made her fall into deep silence and trembling.
Maybe it was the psychological suggestion caused by what I heard from Kang Seulgi before.
Moreover...she also watched the personal variety show a few days ago, and the one "August and September" that Chi Jingyuan casually mentioned in the interview...
If others don't know, doesn't she know that "last August or September" is the time when they broke up last year?
Therefore, Pei Zhuhyun feels that every lyric and even every syllable seems to be telling the story of herself and Chi Jingyuan.
"I occasionally think of it in ordinary life."
"I would be very satisfied if you are in this memory."
"That look in your eyes lets me know that I am being loved. I really learned a lot from you."
Along with the lyrics, scenes and scenes of stories and memories in his memory were flipped through in front of Bae Zhuhyun's eyes like a movie.
From the disgust when we first met in the company in 2012, to that chance encounter by the river, that heart-wrenching cry and that duck-like hat.
Later on, things gradually changed, and we became familiar, close, and ambiguous. After the unsuccessful debut in 2014, we were encouraged to cooperate with "Let It Be" and "Music Bank" in 2015.
As well as her confession on the day she got off the bus, and the subsequent love relationship that has become one of the most important memories in her life.
Every scene seems to be imprinted in the depths of the soul. Although I usually deliberately do not look for or recall it, when I really need it, it will still appear deeply and naturally. All the details are still vivid in my mind, every picture, every scene.
Every look, every sound.
All the memories and emotions were turbulent and chaotic when I heard this song, and the pictures in my mind were spinning uncontrollably. One second they were having a sweet relationship, and the next second they were sad and sad about breaking up.
Unknowingly, tears welled up from the corners of his eyes, his nose trembled slightly, and he was completely immersed in his own emotions and feelings.
The lighter the melody, the more cheerful the tune, but the more depressed and lost she felt when listening to it.
"The spotlight on the love script we wrote has now been turned off."
"The plot reaches its final scene."
"...the curtain falls quietly"
"That's enough, I loved you."
Until near the end, when I heard the chorus like fireworks in the night sky, heard Chi Jingyuan singing the last few lyrics with a clear voice, and felt the nostalgia, recollection and relief in the singing, Bae Zhuhyun finally shed tears that had been accumulating for a long time.
I couldn't help but break the embankment directly, and my eyes kept dripping with tears.
Since I met, dated, and broke up with Chi Jingyuan, the sweet, sad, and painful scenes between me were all connected through the song just now.
I didn't cry too much when we broke up. At the same time, I deliberately acted strong because I had to pretend to be in front of other members... But at this time, all the emotions accumulated in my heart were stimulated by this song "Once I Loved You".
As if to make up for not crying enough at the beginning, the more she cried, the harder she cried. Lying on the bed, her body kept shaking. Her face had already been mixed with tears, and her hair was messy and stuck to her face.
It's embarrassing.
In addition to the extremely complicated emotions in my heart, when I think of the meaning of the last lyrics, I can't help but feel dissatisfied and complain.
Just when Bae Zhuhyun fell into the long-awaited cry because of this long-awaited song, maybe she was too involved. When the bedroom door was opened, when Kang Seulgi walked next to her, she didn't notice.
"Unnie, why are you crying?"
Jiang Seulqi sensed something was wrong and came over. She was immediately startled when she saw Bae Zhuhyun, who was out of breath from crying and her whole face was wrinkled.
After hearing the voice of her teammates, Bae Zhuhyun seemed to have come back to her senses from her own memories and the song "Loved Before". She paused for a moment, and her silent but wanton sobs weakened. She, who had always been very concerned about face, had no time to take it.
Using paper towels, I wiped my face sloppily with the back of my hands and arms, trying to make myself look less embarrassed.
It's just that her hair was tangled with tears, her face was red from the hard friction, her eyes, and her childish face looked even more haggard under her bare makeup.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At this time, a few tissues were handed over to the side. Pei Zhuxuan paused for a moment. After a second, he silently took them and sat up on the bed quietly.
Wiping his face.
Of course Kang Seulgi handed over the tissue... She was actually just so surprised when she saw Bae Joo Hyun crying that she couldn't help but ask.
But soon she thought of Ernie's character and quickly lowered her voice.
And although Bae Zhuhyun did not reply to the reason for her crying, Jiang Seulgi took a moment to observe and thought of the frequent solos of Ji Kyung-won that Unnie mentioned in the chat these days, especially the earphones that fell off Bae Zhuhyun.
After hearing the melody of "Loved Before", the small eyes under the single eyelids rolled slightly, and I probably guessed the reason.
She had just listened to "Loved", and the lyrics in it... uh...
If Jingyuan is really describing the story between him and Bae Zhuhyun, then it is quite normal for this Unnie to cry like this.
She wasn't very clear about Chi Jingyuan...but Pei Zhuxuan had already seen through her, and this Unnie didn't come out at all.
Jiang Seulqi also handed over the tissue with some distress, but at the same time she was a little proud of her intelligence and eyes.
There are not many people as smart as her in Red Velvet.
Jiang Seulqi sat gently on the edge of the bed, looking at Bae Zhuhyun beside her with complicated eyes.
This Ernie is actually very strong. We have known her for so long, been in a group together and lived under the same roof for so long. She has rarely seen her cry like this.
Bae Zhuhyun did not speak, wiping her tears gently, seeming to calm her thoughts, and also seemed to be thinking about how to explain to the members.
The two of them fell into silence for a while, and the whole room suddenly became quiet. There was only the occasional slight sound of sniffing, and the voices from the living room outside were also faintly heard. If you listened carefully, it seemed that they were from Park Soo-young and Jin Ye-lin.
We are discussing the song "Loved Once".
The room was quiet for several minutes. Pei Zhuxuan wiped away her tears and calmed down a bit before making any sound. She just lowered her head and seemed to be thinking about something.
But Jiang Seulgi was actually a little hesitant, as if she was hesitant to speak.
To be honest, even though she had a very good relationship with Chi Jingyuan and her position was on his side, after so long, she actually no longer had the same enthusiasm for the idea of bringing the two of them back together.
After all, it was because of familiarity that I got to know that relative of the same age.
Seeing this Ernie crying like this just because he listened to a song, I felt heartbroken and couldn't help but sigh.
Although that relative of the same age is indeed a bit outstanding, handsome, with a good figure, a personality that is particularly attractive to girls, he is also very good at it, and he is a member of the royal family in the company, has a background, resources, and can take care of him, uh...
Thinking of this, Jiang Seulqi seemed to instantly understand the Unnie in front of her.
...but no matter what, we have been separated for so long, so there is no need to be so persistent about some things.
"Onie..."
After hesitating for a while, looking at Bae Zhuhyun who was obviously different from usual, too quiet, Jiang Seulgi still spoke, trying to comfort her and said: "Actually, it's just a song, and many of the lyrics are for rhymes or concepts.
Special words..."
"And..." She paused, then murmured in a low voice: "And this song... I told you, I remember hearing Jing Yuan say it was inspired by his ex-girlfriend... But you also know, Ernie.
He has many ex-girlfriends, but it’s not necessarily because of you..."
She actually said this because she wanted Pei Zhuhyun not to be so entangled and not to involve herself too much.
...Actually, Kang Seulgi really felt that the song "Loved Before" was about Bae Joo Hyun.
It's just that... her heart is good, but... she is not a person involved. Although she knows a lot of things as a bystander, she has not really experienced the various ups and downs between Bae Zhuxuan and Chi Jingyuan.
So, her comfort seemed to have the opposite effect.
Just now, Bae Joo Hyun, who had lowered her head and was very quiet, a little dazed, seemed to be thinking about other things, didn't know if she heard Kang Seulgi's words, but she immediately raised her head when she heard the words.
She turned her head, rolled her eyes quickly, frowned slightly, and a sharp light appeared in her eyes, as if an eagle was looking at a wolf, her eyes were extremely sharp, and combined with the red eye sockets, it formed a substantial sharp line of sight, with a strong sense of oppression.
Jiang Seulqi was so frightened that her whole body froze for a moment, her expression was sullen, and she stayed there without daring to speak.
This glance seemed to remind her of some fearful memories... This Ernie was still very scary when he was angry.
"No……"
Bae Zhuhyun looked at Jiang Seulqi and spoke softly. Apart from a slightly choked aftertaste, her voice was not as embarrassed and fragile as when she was crying just now. Instead, it was uncharacteristically firm:
"You just wrote it for me."
To be continued...
