Gyubin: Illit's Young Prodigy

Start to Shine

November 2023

"So you're the new face all the kids talk about it. How old even are you?" Gaeko asked her.

"I'll be eighteen soon sunbae." Gyubin replied.

Gaeko felt his heart to want to sink. He gave a calm sigh before speaking.

"I swear the kids gets younger by the day. My son is only thirteen and my daughter is nine. Soon enough he'll enter highschool. He's the cutest boy I ever laid eyes upon. He tells me he wants to pursue rapping. Maybe he'll become better than his father only time will tell." Gaeko shrugged.

"I totally understand. I have a younger sister who's fourteen years old and she's in middle school right now. It can be tough to see someone you saw tiny grow up in front of you." Gyubin stated. Compared to when she first got scouted, her sister was almost her age that fateful day. She always calls her every single night so she doesn't feel lonely.

Everybody grows up at some point and that is what Gyubin is having trouble accepting. Her senior year was approaching next year and then she'll graduate. She's at the prime of her teen years so she hopes to enjoy them as much as possible.

Come on now, let's get started
Scattering clouds
Floating through them again
Even the sunlight can't be bright right now
More than your smile

Verse 1
There's been a lot of rain these days that wasn't in the forecast
On the contrary, life is dry and there's static electricity in my heart
My mood is from the rooftop to the basement
I can't go any further down
The spirit I force myself to spit out
I'm curious about how you are
Did you do well today, which is different from yesterday
With drip coffee in my hand, my steps are excited

The time I go to meet you is
Your contact and viewing your photos is my only pleasure
The only paradise on earth
A bright smile, in that beautiful wrinkle
I become flat and love you, the oval of the mouth
An angel wraps around me As if giving, you put your paws on the back of your hand

Just the temperature of your palm reduces it for a moment
The speed at which I live in the world

Chorus
Come on now, let's get started
Scattering clouds
And fluttering through it
Even the sunlight cannot be brighter now
More than your smile

Post-Chorus
Start to shine
Shining in my heart
You're so fine
I'm so excited
Even if I can't express it all
This is my song

Verse 2
Sometimes I have a lot of thoughts and feel awkward
It rains all day Why is my heart pouring out like this
Swirlin', I'm swirlin'
Fallin', I'm fallin' down
A cup of coffee to spare
(for no reason) My heart is racing and I only regret
(For no reason) In my complicated head
(Smilin') Comfort me with warm words You

Chorus
Come on now, let's get started
Scattering clouds
And fluttering through them
Even the sunlight can't be brighter now
More than your smile

Post-Chorus
Start to shine
In my heart Shining on
You're so fine
So excited
Even if I can't express it all
This is my song

Outro
My heart wants you to know this someday
Baby, I wanna tell you someday someday
Before you know it, the sky starts to shine blue
Music end
