There are countless stars in this world

In the sky, and on the ground

One winter night

on the street

I came across a star on the ground

A star they call an "idol."

But the star in my memory is a bit different

Even though that guy did nothing but sleep at school

A trace of him I stumbled upon on the street

sent me back in time

Seven years ago

in a summer when the cicadas rang in my ears

My life at eighteen was monochromatic

Riding the highs and lows of school lunches and exams

that was my life

Alright, attention

We have a transfer student

Come in

That was when he appeared

As his face emerged from the shadows

the room held its breath

then quickly filled with whispers

Seo Han-gyeol

A trainee from a famous agency

Han-gyeol, go ahead and sit next to Hyun-woo

Trainee.

A word that felt worlds apart from us

That was the label he wore

Just like that

an outsider stepped into the quiet seat beside me

without warning

As expected, the moment break time started

everyone swarmed his desk

Are you really a trainee?

Which celebrities have you met?

Give me an autograph

I’ll sell it later

Idols are good dancers, right?

Show us some moves

He turned toward the wall, looking clearly annoyed

Using sleep as an excuse

it was like he’d shut the door on the world

Hey, everyone, go study

I need to get to the snack bar, so make some room

On my way home

I realized I’d left a book behind

Someone was in the classroom

I thought would be empty

It was him

You’re still here?

Don’t you have practice?

I do

I’m just sitting here because I don’t want to go

Have this before you go

The world feels even worse

when you’re running low on energy

It was just a single piece of candy

But it was the first time

I showed him my true heart

I shook off the memories

and quickened my pace

[Gyeol]

Where are you?

What’s taking you so long?

Yeah

I’m on my way

I’ll be there soon

That was when he began to bring color

to my monochromatic life at eighteen
