Chapter 174.

What’s the story that transcends all time?

I get that the members will find Yun Chung no matter what timeline she’s in, but
seeing there’s a Part 2 means this isn’t the end, right?
What could it be?

I’m dying because I can’t even guess what the title song concept isㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
StillBlue, please reveal the concept…
StillBlue seems to have really high quality color films

The cinematography alone feels like they’re throwing money at it
It seems like they release a color film alongside every mini or full album
I love how they’re expanding the worldbuilding this way, separate from teasers and music videos

The best part is that the members made it themselves

StillBlue planning
Ryu Bora direction
Wow

Baby princess, baby soprano, baby director… Ryu Bora, who exactly are you?
Expanding from acting to directing is truly growth-oriented
So the teaser drops today?

R-e-l-e-a-s-e i-t n-o-w.

StillBlue tracklist is out!!!!!

1. Transcending All Time
2. Eternal Summer (Title)
3. Summer Solstice
4. Summer’s Grand Triangle
5. Everywhere Everytime
6. Transcending All Worlds

The title track is “Eternal Summer”.
Thump-thump.

Thump-thump.
They really committed to the summer concept.

Just looking at the tracklist, it smells like summer…haha

It’s giving summer vibes… StillBlue…
Could the second part of Color Film be titled

“Beyond All Worlds”?
Track 1’s title matches the first part of Color Film
“Beyond All Time”
Then could it be…?

Colors, just pretend it’s a mistake and release it. I’ll turn a blind eye.
You mess up constantly, but only when it matters do you not mess up.
└ For real, they only do their job right at times like this

***

Ding!
Ding!

Bleduck’s phone lit up with a barrage of notifications, and he quickly turned it on.

Oh! StillBlue’s teaser dropped

The moment Bleduck saw the notification title, he didn’t hesitate and opened OTube.
It’s finally midnight.
These Colors guys are so cruel.

▶

[StillBlue – ‘Eternal Summer’ Teaser]

Bleduck didn’t even have time to think before quickly pressing the play button.
And then.

Oh, my daydream
On the day with the longest daylight
I could take the longest nap
You’ll appear in that dream

A cheerful and exhilarating melody flowed out.

‘The day with the longest daylight? Could it be the Summer Solstice?’

Or is it the title? Which one could it be?
Bleduck focused on the video.
Yun Chung heading to school appeared first.
It seemed like a continuation of the color film that had dropped yesterday.
Yun Chung opened her locker as soon as she arrived at school.
Inside were neatly organized textbooks, a single letter, and an exchange diary.

‘A StillBlue exchange diary!’

It appeared here too?
Bleduck’s expression was puzzled yet delighted.

A love letter to the student council president♥

As the letter was zoomed in, the handwriting on it became visible.

‘Yun Chung is the student council president here?! Wait. A love letter?!’

Yun Chung opened the letter with a familiar, composed expression.

A love letter, you say. Surely you didn’t believe that, did you? This is a letter revealing clues to a treasure. If you read this letter and find me, you will recover something truly precious and valuable.

But the letter was not a love letter.
Faced with incomprehensible content, Yun Chung’s brow furrowed slightly.

I’ll give you some clues.

1. I am somewhere within this school.
2. I am always by your side.
3. I am someone very precious to you.

Yun Chung finished reading the letter and sighed, tucking it into her pocket.
Then she grabbed the exchange diary.
On the cover of the exchange diary were written:

Seo Baek-young
Yun Chung
Kim Geum
Ryu Bora
Yeon Ju-hong
_____

The names of five members, and one name so faded it was barely legible.
Yun Chung left the main building with the exchange diary in hand.
She seemed to be heading toward the Gymnasium.
As Yun Chung entered the Gymnasium, she spotted a group in black martial arts uniforms.

‘The Kendo Club…!’

Was one of the members in the Kendo Club?
Bleduck deduced carefully.
They were in the middle of practice, all wielding bamboo swords with fervor.
Yun Chung approached a figure standing before them, watching the practice.
She appeared to be the Kendo Club captain.

‘Who is that?’

The person was wearing a kendo mask, so her face wasn’t clearly visible.

[______!]

Yun Chung thrust the letter right in front of the person’s face, her eyes conveying silent protest.
The person waved her hand dismissively and lifted the mask upward.
It was Seo Baek-young.

[It wasn’t me!]

Seo Baek-young appealed her innocence with an aggrieved expression.
Yun Chung glanced at Seo Baek-young, then spun around sharply.
There stood Seo Baek-young, flustered and scratching her head.
The screen shifted.
Next appeared Kim Geum in uniform, surrounded by members of the Volleyball Club.
Kim Geum seemed to be the center of attention, saying something playful from the middle of the group.
The others burst into laughter each time she spoke.
Yun Chung pushed through the crowd and handed Kim Geum a letter.
Kim Geum read the letter with narrowed eyes, then shrugged her shoulders.

[A challenge letter? That’s not from me.]

Just then, a volleyball came flying toward Yun Chung.

[Watch out.]

Kim Geum spiked the ball away.
Yun Chung seemed momentarily startled, but quickly erased any sign of confusion and turned her head.
Her attitude said: as long as it wasn’t you.
Watching Yun Chung depart with unhurried grace, Kim Geum laughed in bewilderment.
Next came a classroom.
Yun Chung peeked through a slightly open door into the room.
Before a sunlit window.
Ryu Bora stood holding a sheaf of papers, watching the others perform.
This appeared to be the Drama Club.

‘So Ryu Bora is the Drama Club president…!’

It suited her.
Bleduck nodded without thinking.
Ryu Bora’s distinctive sharp eyes, formed by thin lines, were fixed on the club members.
Her slightly furrowed gaze even appeared keen.
With a cool expression, Ryu Bora calmly directed each member one by one.
Yet the members looked deeply flustered every time she spoke.

‘It’s practically a face attack.’

The moment Bleduck had that thought.
Yun Chung opened the door and approached Ryu Bora, holding out a letter.
Ryu Bora’s eyebrows twitched for an instant.
But Ryu Bora didn’t show it and accepted the letter, reading it.
Then she let out a small laugh.

[Do I really seem like the type to pull such a childish prank?]

Ryu Bora handed the letter back to Yun Chung.

[Instead of wasting time on this nonsense, why don’t you just join our Drama Club.]

Ryu Bora scoffed with a sharp attitude, letting out a dismissive snort.
Yun Chung’s face grew sullen as she pouted, then she whipped her head around and left the classroom.
And headed toward her next destination.

[The Broadcasting Room!]

Inside the Broadcasting Room.
Probably playing the role of an announcer.
Yeon Ju-hong sat at the desk, her eyes bright and clear as she looked directly at the camera.
Yeon Ju-hong read through her script with her characteristic cheerful and radiant expression.
Yun Chung watched Yeon Ju-hong until the filming ended.
And the moment the cut signal came, she burst right into the Broadcasting Room.

[Senior!]

Yeon Ju-hong seemed to have always been very fond of Yun Chung, her face absolutely delighted.
At that sight, Yun Chung also seemed taken aback, her expression much softer than before.
Yun Chung casually held out the letter to Yeon Ju-hong.
Yeon Ju-hong tilted her head curiously as she read the letter.

[Huh?! That’s not me!]

Yeon Ju-hong jumped up and actively insisted that it wasn’t her.
Yun Chung seemed convinced by her reaction, letting out a long sigh.
And she gently patted Yeon Ju-hong’s head before turning to leave.

[Senior! Want to grab something at the Convenience Store!]

Yeon Ju-hong called out to Yun Chung again, her voice trembling with desperation, but Yun Chung didn’t even glance back—she merely waved her hand dismissively as she walked away.

I hadn’t uncovered the culprit.

Bleduck had reasoned through it alongside me, but no one seemed to fit the profile of the perpetrator.
I returned to the Classroom and placed the letter on my desk, lost in thought for a long while.
Then I opened the June page of the exchange diary.
The diary was filled with different handwriting styles.
I compared the handwriting in the letter against each entry in the exchange diary, one by one.

[Who would play such a prank?]

My narration echoed through the scene.
My troubled gaze was visible, eyes narrowed in concentration.
The handwriting in the letter resembled everyone’s script in some ways, yet seemed distinctly different in others.
It was a difficult puzzle.
I sighed and placed the letter and exchange diary back into the Locker.
The moment I closed the Locker and turned around—
A blue light began seeping out from inside the Locker.
And it started to engulf me.
The instant the light completely consumed me—
The screen faded to black.
When I opened my eyes again—

[It was Winter.]

Winter, with snow falling heavily.
I was on a bed.

[That dream again.]

I placed my hand on my forehead and exhaled deeply.

[That season I can never return to.]
[Every Winter, I dream of a time I can never go back to.]

I sat up and moved to my desk.
On the desk lay an exchange diary, worn with age.
With a wistful expression, I traced my fingers across the diary’s cover.

[What could everyone else be doing?]
[Am I the only one having dreams like this?]

A melancholic narration continued.
The alarm on my phone chimed.
In that moment.
The screen split in two.
On one side of the screen.
Yun Chung in winter buttoned her shirt with practiced ease and stepped outside her home.
And on the other screen.
Yun Chung in summer, her face bright, donned her school uniform and stepped outside her home.
The moment her foot crossed the threshold,

Give me an endless summer
Our blue season
Will never end
Promise me

A portion of the title track, 【Eternal Summer】, flowed out.
The teaser had ended.
