그런 사람 (Thinking of You)

The emotional journey of 'Thinking of You' is a gripping tale of restraint and concealed yearning. Jung Seung Hwan takes us through the delicate moments when one catches themselves nurturing feelings too intense to ignore, yet too perilous to act upon. Love blooms silently, deepening its roots in the heart, as the individual clings to the sheer hope that it might wither for the sake of self-preservation.

As the song progresses, we encounter the push-pull dynamic that defines so much of unspoken love. The protagonist grapples with a wish to move closer, countered by the wisdom of maintaining a 'just enough' distance. In this dance, they feign ignorance of the beloved's feelings—a protective guise to cushion the blow of a potential rejection, echoing a universal fear of the vulnerability that accompanies open-hearted confession.

The bridge intensifies this inward clash, with Jung Seung Hwan articulating the despair of acknowledging that feelings have already taken root, with little hope for retraction. The heart's desires cannot be easily stilled, much like a river rushing past any attempt to dam its course. It leaves the protagonist—and the listener—in a state of turmoil, wondering how to navigate a love that seems doomed to ache.

In the culmination, we're confronted with the duality of dread and inadequacy: the fear of a future parting clashes with feelings of not loving enough. This poignant acknowledgement traced through the song presents a character that diminishes their own worth in love's shadow. When they act as if they're strangers to their own emotions, it only augments the internal desolation, starkly resonating with anyone who has ever had to conceal a love too painful to disclose.
