Intro: Skool Luv Affair

*Arin POV*

Today, we were going to shoot the MV for 'Boy In Luv'. I think it's a cool title track that will showcase us through different lenses. I just hoped ARMY liked the different perspective, that is love, in the songs in our new album.

Currently, I was sitting behind the cameras as I saw the boys getting ready to be filmed. The director-nim told me that I wouldn't be appearing much in this MV because the story of this song was that the boys were trying to make a girl- that is me- fall in love with them. So I wouldn't be appearing in the choreo part, which took up most of the music video because the boys were supposed to impress me with their amazing dance skills and 'manliness.' Well, I guess they have got to practice their acting then.

Initially, I was sad hearing this news because I didn't want ARMY to think badly of me, but what the director stated did make sense too. Besides, my presence in the choreo part would probably disrupt the storyline.

I looked up at the boys to see them all dressed up in school uniforms - white shirts, black pants, and ties and sneakers. Their new hairstyles made them look much different...in a good way, of course.

I was just glad that the hairstylists had decided to give a different hairstyle to Namjoon because that afro hairstyle DID NOT suit him at all.

I realized that since there was some time before the shooting started, the boys all came up around me and started speaking to the Bangtan Bomb camera. Namjoon said, "Wah it's starting! It's just 2 days since everything has been settled and we've started filming."

Suddenly the director called them to get ready for filming, so the boys had to leave my side and they all headed to the classroom set. But before they left, the cameraman captured us starting the filming with our special chant.

The director had decided that they would first shoot the choreo scenes. Then they would shoot my scenes with the boys. Then at the end, after an outfit change, we would all be present for the final choreo scene.

I watched with awe as the boys danced to the song, capturing every single step precisely with fitting facial expressions too. The choreo was hard and required proper footwork along with a lot of upper-body movements and there were also some gymnastical and athletic steps in the choreo but it was fun nevertheless.

After shooting some scenes, the boys took a break, drank some water, and shared their views with the Bangtan Bomb camera. Taehyung exclaimed, "It's cool~ We'll match up the parts that we're lacking in and find everyone looking even cooler!" He then sang his lines to the camera.

I giggled at his enthusiasm. Even though he was one of the youngest, he still gave his best and pushed himself. He, of course, had to pay a bit more attention to his actions because he was one of the members who fans saw first due to him being one of the visuals. But that didn't stop his cheerful and playful demeanor.
