My music video is about a boy studying in a middle-class school, and has just lost a close school friend in a tragic accident. He has to decide as to whether the location is to become a constant reminder of his loss, or will it offer him the happiness which has been drained out of him, due to the magnitude of this loss.
The story starts with A seated on a bench near the school playground in apparent depression, twiddling his thumbs and allowing a light breeze to carelessly whip his face, which looks rather glum. He tries to stare ahead, and clear his head from all the poisonous memories, which ends in vain as his gaze switches onto an open notebook in which the words 'Best Friends Forever' have been scribbled in. He then allows his mind to become a victim of these oft memories, and keeps reminding himself of all the pleasant experiences he shared with his late friend.
As these flashbacks keep pestering him, he finally stands up and allows his body to steer him towards the playground, in yet another desperate attempt to lay these memories to eternal rest. His sorrow is however not extinguished because he has shared memories with his friend there as well, and therefore has a hard time looking at it with a straight face.
The playground is occupied by students of his age playing football. A experiences new flashbacks, closely related to the happy scene before him. He tries blocking them out, but the frequent flashbacks make it impossible for him. A is now feeling even more depressed than before, his movement becoming a bit restrained and slow. He finally lets the memories take over him, with a heavy conclusion that he will never be able to rid himself from them.
But, before all hope seems lost, one of the boys previously playing football approaches him, and invites him to the game. A is left speechless, but then slowly realizes that this is Fate telling him that all his struggle to move on has not been futile, and in order to advance in his life, he must stop thinking about his troubled past. A smiles, and follows B to the center of the playground, ready to let go of all his pain and sorrow. As he greets the other boys, he experiences a hazy flashback in which he is playing football with his late friend. He finally understands that this is what his friend would've wanted for him, and thus moves on.
