June smiled widely as he stared at the now black screen. He felt satisfied with what they had put out. From the very first moment he saw the storyboard, he thought it was the perfect concept for the song he had produced.
It was about a group of friends living near the waters, growing up together, and celebrating the milestones of their lives. However, they, too, got caught up in the reality of life, and before they knew it, they started leaving the place they call home—their Oasis.
But somehow, the Oasis always stayed as their home...and they always came back.
June thought it was already good when he first read it.
However, since he incorporated the music box sound in the last part, he felt like something was missing.
And that's when he took the initiative to relay his suggestions to his teammates.
They loved it right away, so Chul (reluctantly) suggested it to the Creative Team, and they also agreed to employ the concept.
So, now, it gave birth to the music video that contained everything June loved.
Friendship.
Good music.
The cool breeze.
Murder.
Just kidding! June was already past that phase. He hasn't even thought about murder for two entire days!
"I like it so much," Jisung nearly sobbed. "I didn't think it could turn out this way."
"The editing team did such a great job," Ren said.
"And you did a great job, too, June," he patted June's back. "I'm glad we listened to your suggestions."
June smirked, leaning against the couch. "What can I say? You guys better listen to me from now on."
Akira raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Did June just act smug? Is that another emotion added to his list?"
June scoffed and shook his head.
He has always been smug. He never just showed it since he couldn't be bothered.
"Aww, I didn't see it!" Casper exclaimed. "Can you do it one more time?"
June glared at Casper before turning back to the screen. "I want to watch it again."
"Should we?" Ren asked. "I feel like it's the type of song and video that gets better when you watch it again."
"Wait!" Sehun interrupted their conversation. "Let's look at the charts before doing that."
Jaeyong scratched the back of his neck. "Yes, I almost forgot about that. How did we do?"
Sehun pulled out his Durian app and went to the real-time rankings. He smiled when he saw their group name on the very first on the search list.
"Well, for starters, we're first on the search list."
"Wooh!" Akira rejoiced. "It's off to a good start."
Sehun then clicked on the top 100 list. He couldn't see their song on the top five, which was honestly expected since it was very difficult to achieve such a high ranking.
For the past three years, popular girl groups have infiltrated the top five of the charts.
Balladeers like Woojin also managed to break through it.
Popular K-drama soundtracks even had an easier time.
Lil' Mil Woong, a top-tier trot artist who has a massive older fanbase, was also an artist who was guaranteed to break through the top five.
