Chapter Title: Comeback, and Comeback (1)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
It all starts at the front gate of some school.
Students in identical uniforms are heading toward the school one by one.
Mixed in among them is a boy, Park Su-rim, walking to school with the crowd.
Dressed neatly in his uniform, he blends into the throng and walks alone until he suddenly stops in his tracks.
The face of Ha Jae, wearing round rimless glasses, fills the screen in close-up, followed by a soft narration that feels like it's straight out of an essay.
- The world I live in, the school I attend. Daily life repeats endlessly like a hamster wheel. Time drags on monotonously, trapped in a mold. Sometimes, I feel an inexplicable emotion. I have no idea what it is. But occasionally, I think this:
At the same time, Ha Jae looks up at the sky where leaves are falling.
The autumn sky, as blue as ever, reflects on the screen.
The white glare from the bright sun shimmers dazzlingly,
- Maybe I'm dreaming dreams that are endlessly colorful.
Along with his gentle voice, white Gothic-style subtitles appear over the autumn sky.

"Colorful Dream" Title
Bloom MV]
A natural fade-out.
The screen then shifts to a school hallway. Countless students pass by, accompanied by the sound of footsteps.
Amid the white noise of school sounds, the intro begins to play.
Unlike the previous title track, which was packed with an experimental future trap vibe, this one has a completely different feel. It's a refreshing tropical track blending house beats and sleek synths.
At that moment, Han Tae-hee, a boy walking down the hallway, gets a close-up.
Dressed in a perfectly crisp uniform that sets an example for everyone, he walks slowly in the opposite direction of the other students, a soft smile on his face.
- What a boring daily life it was, everyday
A world that always flowed in the same colors
Endless passing scenery
The passing students bow their heads in greeting to Han Tae-hee, who waves back in response.
On his chest is a badge symbolizing the student council.
Han Tae-hee soon opens the door to Class 3-1. Following his gaze, we see Park Su-rim chatting happily with friends in front of the blackboard.
Wearing a black-based jacket with white lines, his white shirt unbuttoned a couple of notches, tie loosely tied—a relaxed uniform look—he holds a piece of chalk and starts doodling on the board.
- That's when I met you, like fate
That's when it all began
Like a flower blooming
Han Tae-hee quickly runs over and throws an arm around Park Su-rim's shoulders. The two look incredibly close, like best friends.
Shining on Park Su-rim's jacket is a student council badge just like Han Tae-hee's.
The song's beat then shifts rapidly, and the scene jumps from the classroom to the gym in an instant.
In the drab gym, amid students exercising, there's Lee Jae-oh doing push-ups on a white mat.
Wearing only a white short-sleeve shirt and black gym pants, Lee Jae-oh bends and extends his muscular arms.
- Before I met you, my world's color was gray
Yeah, it was this monotonous
Trapped in a black-and-white photo
In my daily life that felt like time itself
His black hair soaked in sweat, droplets sliding down his face to the floor.
Finishing his push-ups, Lee Jae-oh grabs his uniform jacket from nearby and heads out of the gym.
A student council badge gleams on his jacket shoulder too.
Next, the screen heads to the art room. Inside is B-light.
Standing before an easel, diligently painting with pigments.
His white uniform shirt, adorned with a student council badge, is splattered with paint here and there.
- You bloom like a flower
You bloom in my day
Coloring my one heart with your scent and hues
Beating only for you, babe
B-light's canvas depicts a night sky brimming with vibrant starlight.
As he brushes the twinkling stars, he stretches and gazes out the window.
Next up is the band practice room on the top floor of the school building.
In the well-soundproofed room, Go Eun-young belts out into the mic.
- You're like watercolor on a palette
Dyeing the whole world in your own colors
Frowning in frustration as something doesn't click, she sighs.
Takes a sip of water, then dives back into practice.
On the black hoodie over her uniform, oddly out of place, is a student council badge.
The next shot captures the 800s section of the library, packed with books.
Ha Jae, in round rimless glasses, browses before pulling out a book.
The title: "Sacrifice for All."
- In my blank white page with nothing drawn
Fill me up with your colors
He spreads the book on a desk and reads intently.
His impeccably neat uniform also sports a student council badge.
The song finally hits the chorus. An upbeat melody line kicks in, and Teddy appears. The setting is the dance club practice room.
He dances to the chorus beat with other club members. Impressive skill.
- Color me like
(Bloom)
Will you hold me tight?
Teddy grins cheerfully, encouraging his friends.
He, too, wears the student council badge without fail.
All the characters then gather in one place: the student council room.
The seven boys laugh joyfully, sharing tasty snacks, enjoying happy times. They all look utterly at ease.
- Color me like
(Bloom)
Until my whole body is dyed in you
And so verse one wraps up, leading into verse two.
Verse two unfolds in a somewhat different atmosphere from the previous scenes.
In what seems like an ordinary day, the boys start sensing strange things.
Park Su-rim, Han Tae-hee, and Go Eun-young have visions. A massive eagle swooping down from the sky, a dolphin made of water leaping from the school pond, instruments around them floating up as snakes crawl from the ceiling.
Ha Jae and B-light feel odd while gazing at the starry night sky. The ground rising to engulf the sky, the need to contain all the shimmering starlight within themselves.
Teddy and Lee Jae-oh have dreams. Of people freely wielding magic-like powers against a massive light—strange dreams.
The scenes unfolding with verse two lead into the bridge. The seven boys have no clue what any of it means yet. They just find it bizarre.
- Pouring into my empty self
Strange things keep happening, but the boys gather under the moonlight in the darkened school, having fun together.
- Multicolored sunlight, that's you
The slow-motion shot captures their joyful faces,
- This moment
I'm dyed in you—!
A crisp high note hits the highlight, and the perspective shifts back to daytime.
The boys continue their ordinary school lives.
- Color me like
(Bloom)
As much as you pour into me
But the boys have changed, ever so slightly.
Even in their routine lives, they become aware of the anomalies they've experienced.
- Color me like
(Bloom)
I'll bloom again in your colors
The song flows into its final stretch. Decorating the end, just like the beginning, is Ha Jae.
His figure sitting under a tree gradually comes into view from above downward.
- Color me like (Dye me)
With the final verse, the title of the book in Ha Jae's hand closes in: "Celestial Bodies, the Universe, and the World."
As the music stops and silence falls, the voices of the other six boys ring out.
- Jae-ya!
Ha Jae closes his book and looks ahead.
The six boys wave at him.
Smiling, Ha Jae stands and walks toward them.
With his back to the camera, a natural fade-out.
The music video ends like that.
The girl, who had been holding her breath through the entire thing, let out a deep, overwhelmed sigh.
"Insane……!"
It was so high-quality that the word "insane" slipped out on its own.
No choreography sections—just the members' acting directing the whole thing. It felt like watching a short film.
"The concept is straight-up wild, right? Student council…… Never saw that coming. They're geniuses."
Muttering to herself in excitement, the girl was over the moon with the music video.
"And why is the song this good? O Woong-jae, seriously, eternal gratitude……."
She'd heard a snippet in the teaser and figured it'd be refreshing, but the full track was even clearer and crisper than expected. Right up her alley.
"And slipping 'Sunlight' into the lyrics? Peak taste."
As a fellow Sunlight, how could she not feel thrilled at that thoughtful nod?
It might just be a word, but to fans, it carries massive weight.
Anyway, this wasn't the time. The girl logged into her favorite community site.
A thread meltdown over EverPlanet's music video was already underway.
[EverPlanet Comeback MV Thread Going Nuclear]
Clicking the post unleashed a flood of comments from fans.
- Wait, student council concept is genius, right?????? ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ They're making us lose it for real……
└ Fr
└ Same school student council fantasies firing on all cylinders
- So to sum up: Han Tae-hee = student council president, others = execs? Right??
└ Yyup seems legit
└ And Jae-oh's sports club (dunno which), Jae's library club, Eun-young's band club, Light's art club, Teddy's dance club!!
└ Ooh then what's Su-rim??? Couldn't tell from the vid……
└ Yy he's popular but no other details…… VP maybe??
└ Oh yeah that tracks??
- And it connects to the debut MV? Interpret pls brain too big for this……
└ Here's our rundown for now!!
1. The planetary guardians of the solar system fight white-clad soldiers, get engulfed in white light, end
2. Wake up as ordinary high schoolers on Earth
3. In this life too, they band together as student council (planetary guardians memories intact?) getting along like friends
4. Then suddenly, guardian memories start resurfacing bit by bit
Gotta wait for more to see past this……
└ Whoa epic so the lore continues?? I live for this ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
- Why no EverPlanet hotties at our school?? Gimme pls
└ Reality: half the class dropped out of middle school lolololol pfft
└ Wtf with these replies
└ Trolls everywhere as usual
Some comments made her cringe a bit, but reading through them made her chest swell even more.
Collective fandom brain is unbeatable. Tears welled up seeing analyses of details even she hadn't caught.
"Gotta rewatch……."
Muttering to herself, she hit replay.
A true masterpiece MV reveals more on rewatch—more special, more fresh.
And so the girl was fully immersed in EverPlanet's comeback.
