<sub>"You're in the shower a lot lately," he commented as she stepped out of the washroom for the third time that day. He discreetly turned away as she stepped towards him, painfully aware of how the wet towel clung to the contours of her body.
"It gets cold," she said simply, shaking wet hair from her face.
"Should I turn up the thermostat?"
"No, it's fine."
There was a brief moment of silence.
"You should go get changed," he said.
"Oh. Right."
She finished drying herself off and tossed the towel onto the couch. She vaguely wondered if he ever snuck glances at her, if she sparked any interest in him at all.
Rummaging through her bag, she fished out a baggy green t-shirt and pulled it on. There was a hole at the front where the print had rubbed off slightly. She poked at it, frustrated at how her new shirt had worn out so easily. It hadn't exactly been cheap.
"Are you uncomfortable with me being here?" she asked as she ran a comb through her tangled hair. "I could leave if you want."
"No, don't go." The boy was suddenly behind her. His arms slid around her waist and he buried his face into the crook of her neck, inhaling the scent of her skin, unable to hold back any longer.
She froze, heartbeat speeding up. The close physical contact unnerved her. Secretly, she had been craving for it since the moment she first stepped into his apartment.</sub>

Okay, time to get down to business! I'm steeling myself to record the awesome chronicles of our legendary adventures. Because no matter what, fun times should be preserved, even if they encase sad memories as well.
Tae Yang's solo-album "HOT" represents the 1st season. G-Dragon's "HEARTBREAKER" marks the beginning of a solo-season of my own.
I believe it to be fitting because the songs in Tae Yang's album hold the fairytale-like essence that the dream held, that our world held. Happy endings. G-dragon's album however, even the name, hints at disappointment and sad times, the bittersweet tears accompanying the smiles.
Here's hoping I can do this justice.

<b>HOT</b>
<i>"I'm ready. Let's go."</i>
Every love begins with fiery "Hot" passion. Who would have thought it would eventually fade? Surely not her. She felt so happy. She was on top of the world at this point in time. The smooth, relaxed beat of this track signifies her unstoppable attitude.

<b>나만 바라봐 (Look Only At Me)</b>
<i>"It's been on my mind for a while."</i>
The theme of the season/year. The bubbly tune hides a darker, selfish wish: <i>"Even if I look at another, look only at me."</i> I'm not certain what this symbolizes in the story, but it's a prominent theme for her and her straying eyes. She doesn't mean to hurt people, but ends up doing so anyway. Human nature.

<b>죄인 (Sinner)</b>
<i>"Sinner who loved you."</i>
Guilt and sorrow balled into one. Graceful and slow, this track depicts innermost thoughts of guilt for what she did to him, and later, her closest friend. Only there seems to be an edge to her sadness; you don't feel like crying. It's merely acknowledging the guilt. (Is there hope?)

<b>Make Love</b>
<i>"I'm nothing without you."</i>
Another prominent theme song; if 'Look Only At Me' is the opening, 'Make Love' is the ending. Happy endings. It also represents his innermost feelings about her, after they've been together for a while. A lighthearted track with warm fuzzies all around.

<b>소년이여 (A Boy)</b>
<i>"Don't forget back in the day."</i>
This song represents her departure into a colder world, without the companionship of old friends. She's been burned. By love, by life. She's finding it hard to cope alone, but she cannot reach out to anyone for help. Brooding over memories, trying to decide whether to forget or remember.

<b>Butterfly</b>
<i>"Feel like I'm gonna dream every time."</i>
I listened to this song and immediately felt sunny/warm feelings engulf me. For sure this song represents his emotions. They're together and he has this weak feeling in his heart like it's a dream every time.

<b>Gossip Man</b>
She can't stand the rumours about her relationship with him or him, this or that. Probably, the source of it all is the dark king himself. (Not sure, though.)

<b>She's Gone</b>
<i>"I'm human too, don't you think I would feel guilty?"</i>
Eden is gone. Permanently. She feels the sting of abandonment. Being all alone, lamenting over the fact that she will never see someone again.
10 of 10
<b>1년 정거장 (1 Year Station)</b>
<i>"At the empty station, I pray we'll meet again."</i>
The station where she still dreams. Feeling everyone's presence, reflecting over the memories of being together while moving forward into an uncertain future. What a way to end the season.
