Chapter 720 We're All Going To Die (2)

Yeri stepped forward, her voice light and airy. It was enchanting to hear such weighty lyrics with the voice she was portraying.

"Now, I'm lying on the bed that I didn't want to get out of.

That was in the past.

Now, the bed is my permanent home.

One that would last.

Was it too hard to bring back the before?

Was this all I've lived for?"

She spoke of regrets, of the moments one wished they could reclaim on their deathbed.

As she moved gracefully across the stage, it appeared she was planting invisible seeds. White, little butterflies flew across the LED screen, adding to the gentleness of her gestures.

The other girls followed her lead, their hands brushing the air as if tending to the seeds Yeri had sown.

Their movements were fluid, less like a rehearsed dance and more like a natural progression of actions.

It didn't feel like choreography.

It was a story.

Yeri's solo transitioned to the chorus, where all five girls joined their voices in beautiful harmony.

"Was this all I've lived for?

I worked hard for days and nights.

Yet, this was how it was going to end.

In the bed, all alone, with no one to hold.

With no one to turn to by myself.

The light is getting closer, yet I don't want to go.

Who knew that life would be this shallow?

We're all going to die, that I know.

But what is the use of the plants that grow?

When I will leave it all behind...

I will leave it all behind."

The contrast between their cheerful delivery and the longing of the lyrics was striking.

Each girl brought her own unique tone to the harmony, blending perfectly to create a sound that lifted the audience to a cold yet comforting place.

Almost like they were standing at the gates of heaven themselves.

In the sunshine and the rain.

It served a silent purpose,

Even as it faced the end."

The bridge continued, its melody softer and more tender.

On stage, it appeared as if the invisible seeds Yeri had planted earlier had finally flourished into a full-grown plant. A gentle wind effect swept across the stage, causing the flowy yellow dresses of the girls to sway. The audience was entranced by the sight, the delicate harmony of the girls' voices blending perfectly with the gentle movement of their dresses.

The softer bridge allowed the girls to sing in unison once more. June had devised this strategy, knowing that while individually the girls might struggle with their vocal foundations, together they created a sound that sounded full.

"So why do we have to die?

To give our lives a frame,

To cherish every moment,

And find meaning in the same.

Life is not just in the living,

But in knowing it will fade.

It's the love we share, the memories,

In the light and in the shade."

As the last chorus approached, the music shifted, now imbued with a sense of hopefulness that contrasted with the song's somber themes. The instrumental layer became increasingly simple, almost minimalist, allowing the girls' harmonies to shine even more. They danced in circles, their movements light and joyful, smiles gracing their faces as if the protagonist's inevitable end wasn't tragic but rather a natural, beautiful conclusion.

"The plant grew and served its purpose,

In its beauty and its grace.

And though it's gone, it leaves behind

A truth we can embrace."

This transformation from sorrow to acceptance resonated deeply with the audience. Despite the tears streaming down many faces, there were smiles too. The performance conveyed a profound truth: life was beautiful precisely because it was finite.

In the fleeting nature of our days,

We find a precious truth.

Life's value is in its passing,

In every moment, in its proof.

In this final breath, I whisper,

As my soul begins to soar,

"Life's a journey to the light,

And now I'm home once more."
