Love this song! I'm Kevin biased, but holy. Crud. Jun looks so freaking adorbs that I just can't. Like seriously, the brown hair does him wonders.
And that turtle neck Hoon is so cute.
Soohyun on the bed being all cute is too much for me to handle.
I love how Eli falls asleep on the couch, seems just like something he would do.
Kevin looks as innocent as always, so adorbs.
Kiseop finally has a lot of lines, I think he's finally out of the "I'm the member who rarely sings" stage. Unfortunately, I think that stage has passed onto Jun because he only had one line...sobs
Jun is such a good singer too, aish.
Anyways~ Love ukiss and love this song! ukiss 4 life!
