Finally, the long-awaited review of BM’s first ep “Elements.” I’ve already talked about his title track “Nectar” so I won’t talk about that. So, we’re going to talk about Embers, Loyalty, Motion, and Badgirl Badboy.

Let’s talk about “Embers.” It’s not my favorite, but it does the job. This song is a vibe you really have to be in the mood for. It reminds me of a grown-up version of Bang Chan’s “Connected” from Stray Kids. It’s like the concept is saying, “We have a connection like fire, so why not give in?” By the way, Bm, if you could explain this one, that would be awesome! The lyrics really turn up the heat, and don’t be surprised if you end up feeling a connection to this song (get it? embers? matches? corny joke, sorry haha). I don’t think this song needs a video, probably because I can’t quite picture it or the concept. I’d rate this song a 7/10. It’s definitely an acquired taste.

Next is Loyalty. You know when you hear that Spanish guitar in The Fast and The Furious or any old-school 2000s movie? Yeah, it’s like that. I’m not completely sold on it yet, especially with the whole “She said I’m an Aries, said I’m a Libra” line – I’m kinda lost there. But hey, I won’t be too harsh because this isn’t my thing, it’s BM’s. BM, if you’re reading this, please break it down for me. The lyrics are cool and I can totally picture an early 2000s music video. But it would hit different if it was shot back in his hometown, like with sportscars and all, you know? Kinda like The Fast and The Furious movies. I might vibe with it more as it grows on me. Right now, I’d give it a 6/10.

Now, let’s talk about “Motion”, Not. For. Kids. You know it’s got that “Parental Advisory Explicit Content” label for a reason, right? BM really loves to talk about women in this song, it’s pretty explicit, but you know what? I actually like it. The lyrics speak for themselves, so I won’t say much more. As for the video, imagine a house party with a pool, some early 2000s vibes, visors turned up, and a fisheye camera. You know the drill, think of any early 2000s song with a house party. Hey, BM, are you taking notes? I’ve got some ideas here. I’d give this song a 9/10, but I wish there was a video just to add a fun visual.

Now for Badgirl Badboy... Not totally into it. I think it's mostly because I don't quite get the concept of the song and that might be my fault. I think a visual would be cool's for me to grasp the concept. Who knows, if I listen enough, it may grow on me. I give this song a 5/10.

So I have added up the scores (this included the score for Nectar) and averaged them out and this EP gets an 7.3/10! Not bad for his first solo project! Good job BM! I’m definitely proud of you and I promise I’m listening to this on repeat. Remember he’s on his first 21+ tour until the 26th of May, so look for the dates and go support him if you can! I know I wish I could!

Remember to leave a comment and tell me what you think or who you want next for me to review!

Clueless line

Spring, what a good time in a year, you were so happy to celebrate the beginning of it with your members for once. None of you could go to your parent’s because of corona so you settled in a five people little celebration.

You were currently heading to the arcade in order to make today a special day, you had reserved the place for the five of you, pandemic necessity indeed. 

Your goal for today was to beat the shit out of Jseph in every game since he promised to buy you food If you succeed. It was a tough task but you were confident in your abilities to win and get the best food ever because free food is good food.

The only difficulty was that if you end up being the one losing, Jseph made you promised that you’ll confess to Jiwoo, which wasn't just a tough task but actually a terryfing one. She’s been your friends for years now, you knew her preferences very well and were convinced you weren't one of them.

"Let's go people !!"

You had to put your hands over your ears in order not to be deafened because of BM’s excited screams. You swear he must have never grown up since middle school except in height.

You felt an arm wrapped itself around your shoulder and you didn't needed anything else to know who it was.

"Ready to loose ? I hope your speech for your girlfriend is ready, we wouldn't want you to stutter. "

Jseph was referring to a particularly awkward event which happened two weeks before. You swear those interviews where people ask you who you would date among your members would be the death of you one day.

Of course that interviewer decided to ask you first and your dumbass self couldn't figure out if you could say a same sex answer or not. So you started stuttering, eventually letting the 'Ji' of Jiwoo slip out of your mouth before changing it to 'Jseph'.

You cheeks had reddened so much that you had to hide your face behind Jseph because of embarrassment. He was smirking so much after this that you had to slap him a few times out of frustration. He knew what you wanted to say and was teasing you so much about using his name to cover up your real choice.

"I'm not going to loose anyway, so ready to pay Oppa ?"

As you two were chatting about how you would defeat the other, a slightly different conversation was taking place behind you.

"Look at them seriously, I don't think I can stand it the whole day."

"They're just chatting Jiwoo-ya, you really need to stop thinking they are a thing when they really aren't anything else but friends."

Jiwoo stopped in her track to look at Somin.

"She literally chose him as her ideal match."

Somin rolled her eyes before grabbing Jiwoo's arm to make her follow the group again.

"I swear your really clueless sometimes."

"What do you mean ? Clueless of what ? Her being in love with Jseph ? No I'm not, YOU are."

"You know what ? If you're so convinced about her liking him why don't you tried to seduce her and see what happened ?"

"She'll just turn me down."

"Perfect then you have nothing to loose. Let’s go."

Jiwoo would have answer that her dignity was at sake if she had the time but Somin didn't let her any and entered the arcade place.

Heaving a sigh Jiwoo followed the group, her brain already considering the idea of trying to seduce you. She had nothing to loose indeed not even her dignity.

So far you destroyed Jseph in every game, pacman included. He was sulking like a ten years old since you got to the restaurant area.

"I told you, you would have to buy me food oppa, hand over the wallet."

"No no no, no way I'm leaving on a defeat you have to give me one last chance. Let's play it at bowling, if you win I'll pay you food and a massage after every practice."

You considered it for a second before shaking his hand.

"Okay deal."

After finishing eating, all of you got to the bowling alley.

"Come on, that's your chance. Make her loose the game by distracting her, just trust me on this one."

Somin knew more than both you and Jiwoo together, Jseph told her about the bet and she was determined to make it the end of your hidden crushes on each other.

You were put in a team with Jiwoo while BM was on his own and Jseph and Somin were together. You haven't had time to argue that they already enter the teams' names on the screen and were ready to play.

BM named you 'Clueless line' after smirking at both of you devilishly. You thought it referred to her and she thought it was referring to you, another sign of how obvious both of you were.

Truth was that it was the name the trio use to talk about both of you since they found out you both had feelings for each other but none of you believed it was reciprocate.

Fast enough they dropped the subject and the pin sets started to fall. You weren't bad at bowling, however you're team was still last because Jiwoo couldn't hit a pin for her life.

Or rather she was faking not being good at bowling when she could actually easily get a strike. To be honest losing was painful even for her but she trusted Somin amd did her best to lose.

"Don't just be lame, distract her too."

Jiwoo rolled her eyes, she was too embarrassed to make a move on you either to seduce or distract you.

You were about to throw the bowl again when she got beside you, making you frown, not understanding what she was doing.

"Jiwoo step aside, I can't throw if you're that close."

She didn't listen to you and simply waited for you to play. You groaned from annoyance but you knew you couldn't just push her away so you prepared yourself to throw.

But as you were about to throw she grabbed your other hand in hers, making you shiver.

You turned around to face her, confused and flustered but she wasn't even looking at you. When you looked back at the alley as she was, you saw your bowl getting out of its trajectory and right into the gutter.

You pouted sad and annoyed because you were sure if she hadn't touch you, you would have got at least a spare.

"I'm going to win this game Y/N."

Jseph's comment made you even more mad at yourself for reacting like this to a simple touch from her. As you were sulking, Jiwoo took a look, amused by your grumpy face she pulled you out of the way. It was BM's turn.

Her hand did not let go of yours, even when she made you sit on the chairs she didn't take it back. She seemed to be comfortable that way, your hands on her crossed knees.

And she actually was, she was wondering how she waited that long to do a thing as simple as that. That's why she wanted to make it last, she wouldn't detached your hands if you don't.

As if you would dare, your whole time crush was holding your hand and as embarrassed as you were there was no way you were going to stop her from doing so.

From the corner of your eyes you could see Jseph smiling proudly, your best friend was for sure very proud of you. Yes you weren't the one who initiated it but you didn't gay panic as much as you usually would when she touches you during choreographies.

At the end of the day, losing at bowling didn't feel that bad neither did confessing to Jiwoo, especially because she confessed too. You spend karaoke night together, Jiwoo and you never too far from each other.

Maybe clueless line was a thing back then but dating line was on its way now.

jeon jiwoo, airport style

Your words are like a gunshot
