U N D E R W A T E R by baekhyun MV Thread:
Okay so basically the opening starts with him going through old messages between him and his most recent ex (DT: like they JUST broke up like almost two weeks ago) on his phone and then he gets a phone call from a friend (who like tryna check on him make sure he’s good)
And he declines it (air plane mode lyric) and then he runs his finger through his hair and stands up clearly fatigued and sad scene cuts and we see him walking towards the really expensive silver and black accented bathroom and he starts to run himself a herbal bath
(Note: we get a nice scene of shirtless baekhyun’s back when doing that) scene cuts again he’s now in the bath and he slowly starts to slide under the water to fully submerge himself in the bath (the drift into the water happens on the two beat pops)
Then his small bath has become this big empty ocean dark and cold and as he’s sinking we get a scene of him sing this part with his eyes closed as he falls deeper and deeper into the water
Then the girl (aka his ex) she appears but in like siren form with the long goddess mesh (video refrences to how she looks are Normani Waves and mya fallen) and she starts swimming around him GRACEFULLY AND BEAUTIFULLY like this woman is just GORGEOUS luring him in towards her
He notice the presence around him so his eyes start to break open (he still squints though cause he not used to opening his eyes under water) and he sees her pulling him luring him deeper but instead of a dark ocean the moment she entered it brightened up everything looks clearer
Once he starts to notice he can’t BREATHE he raises out the bath unbelieving of what he just saw
Scene cut he is now outside his beautiful condo pool side the sun is almost set and his pool cleaner is almost finished cleaning. He stares at the infinity pool thinking about the other night when he saw her under the water, he starts to walk the trim of the pool
Looking at how deep it is. When he kneels down and touches the water he suddenly sees flashes of her (the siren version+the flashes also happen on the two beat drops) and he pulls away shook from the images and how it has to be the water doing this to him
The pool cleaner leaves and as he starts to walk back into his house (this is shot from an angle where we are watching from the opposite side of the infinity pool but that just a random detail) he turns back towards the tempting pool with yearning on his face and starts
(Angle change btw, we are now looking from a tv perspective aka a right view of him and the pool) Walking back towards the pool thinking of the fact that he could see her again
(Close up to his face) so we can see the “want” on his face, he sings this line and then dives into the pool
The moment he dives in the camera does too and we see her instantly coming up to greet him as her hand gently meets his face this time his eyes are fully open to see her in all her beauty and then we get a REALLY nice water choreo scene where the two are dancing around each other
Gracefully pulling themselves together and he caresses her face UGH the whole scene is just beautiful there’s cut of him sing to her and close ups of his endearing expressions he gets lost in her rhythm the whole thing just looks like (ex below)
UNDER WATER CHOREO EXAMPLE
so now another scene cut he’s now back in his nice ass condo living room in the far view pan we can see he just started a shower and is waiting for it to get a bit warmer and he waits he thinks about her (siren version) and smiles to himself but it quickly fades cause he knows
It’s not real, he start to walk away but he hears the door bell ring and when he opens it GUESS WHO!!! It’s her!!! And she is clearly distraught crying hair is a bit of a mess (you can tell this break up was messing her up TOO chile) and the moment he sees her!!!!!
HE PULLS HER INTO A DEEP KISS!! This scene gets REALLY intense!! He cusping her face in both hands and he kisses her passionately tears fall from her face as she grips onto his wrist so his hands can’t leave. THEY SPIRAL the desire is too strong (jump cut of course) he takes off
His shirt she follows, scene now cuts to them in the shower kissing (this is a close up so we can’t see nothing but shoulders) NOTE: HER HAIR IS LIKE WET SLICK BACK AND HIS IS LIKE MESSY THEY JUST BOTH LOOK REALLY GOOD.
There’s cut scenes of him singing the more powerful runs into her lips lots of closes ups of him kissing her collar and her throwing her head back, ITS JUST A GREAT SCENE. And on the final “underwater” it’s just shows them forehead to forehead eyes closed in the shower
Taking each other’s existence in HER REAL existence
