“Twin” by Jennie

I remember when she told me her favorite idol was Jennie. I remember our memories and trips. I remember our laughter and our heated arguments. I remember sharing our secrets, being secret therapists to each other. But only just to realize that we might never have them again. Now the only moments left is when we told each other that we should be sisters, a twin. 

“What Makes You Beautiful” by One Direction

It was a hot summer. We were listening to this song, playing it over and over again inside our sedan. We had our dancing moves match the rhythm and the beat. We had our drinks and snacks and the car was beginning to look like a party place. The most memorable summer was ending beautifully.

“Imagination” by Shawn Mendes

The memories were roaming around my head like a merry-go-round. I was on an airplane about to land in South Korea. It was only a matter of time this dream-like adventure ended. I was going back to reality, back to my hometown. It was like an imagination, a dream that seemed like a reality. 

“life jacket” by Jessica Baio

I felt like I was underwater. I was drowning from the water-like surface of relationships, academics, and pressures and expectations. I didn’t know why and who I was existing for. I desperately needed to figure out the purpose of my life, to save myself from drowning into the deep, deep body of problems.

“FINE” by TAEYEON

I put on a mask, trying to pretend like I was Joy but inside it was Sadness, controlling my heart and mind. The only words that my mouth could get out was “I’m fine”, but really I wasn’t. I wanted to take off the mask because it was tiring, but I couldn’t. I knew I would be complaining about my problems even when everyone has them.

“want that too” by Tate McRae

I was surrounded by many people: family and friends. However, none of them made me happy and relieved during this time in my life. Although I had many people surrounding me, I felt lonely and everyone around me felt like disappearing bit by bit. By the end, I knew I would be lonely in this world while their physical presence is seen, but not their soul felt. 

“Live My Life” by aespa

I was living my life, but I felt breathless. I was definitely breathing air and carbon dioxide, but somehow I felt stuck in a mud pit. The only time I only got to enjoy my freedom was when I was alone, walking by myself in the rain. I felt free, like the raindrops that are set loose from the rainclouds.
