Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
가까워지면 멀어져서
다가서지 못해서 더 미안해
이런 내가 싫다 umm umm
너 하나와 두 개의 달
진심을 숨기고서 괜찮은 척
Woo 찾지 못할 것만 같은
답을 바라고 있어
그다음을 바라면서
그 무엇도 그 무엇도
사람 마음 같지 않아서
같은 시선 다른 마음
너무 달고 너무 쓰다
내 손을 건네주고서 마음을 기대하면
이기심은 커져 결함이 돼
우리 사이의 빈틈을 채우고
채울수록 마음의 빈칸은 더 비워져
그렇게 스쳐 간 계절의 감촉과
찰나의 향기를 두 손 안에 쥐여주고
내 앞에 있는 너 그 앞에 멈춰서
I'm okay, not okay
그 무엇도 그 무엇도
사람 마음 같지 않아서
같은 시선 다른 마음
너무 달고 너무 쓰다
우리를 끝없이 망칠 상상은 날 삼켜
더욱더 단꿈을 꾸게 해
눈 감아도 너의 생각 때문에
밤이 소란스러워 현실과 꿈의 너와 나
그 무엇도 그 무엇도
사람 마음 같지 않아서
같은 시선 다른 마음
너무 달고 너무 쓰다
놓쳐 버리기 싫어서 너를 놓아
같은 곳을 바라보던 너와
서로가 마주 볼 수 있을까
놓쳐 버리기 싫어서 너를 놓아
같은 곳을 바라보던 너와
The lyrics to the song Bittersweet by WONWOO and MINGYU explore the complicated feelings of love and the difficulties of expressing it. The first verse talks about how love is mysterious and the singers wonder how they ended up falling in love with someone despite the fact that they grow distant when they get closer. They express their apologies for not being able to approach the person they love and for their own dislike of their personality.
The second verse talks about the struggle to hide true feelings and appear okay to the world. The singers express their desire for answers and how they feel that the more they try to fill the gaps between them and their loved ones, the more they reveal emptiness inside their hearts. The chorus emphasizes the unique and complex nature of human hearts, how two people can look at something the same way but feel completely different emotions.
The third verse talks about how the fear of losing someone is consuming, and in trying to prevent this, we end up creating a bigger rift between ourselves and the person we love. The singers express their desire to be able to stop worrying and just enjoy the moment with their loved one, but it seems impossible due to the constant fear of what could happen. The song concludes with the singers wondering if they could ever see each other face to face and move forward together.

같은 곳을 바라보던 너와
You and I were looking at the same place

On my first watch it felt like the girl was there but not actually there, a placeholder for the other person during more heart-eyes moments because when they're together as a 3, she's there but they don't interact with her.
It's edited as though to show they're both thinking about the same memories with 'the girl' - but Mingyu was never shown at the bar or at the convenience store, so it wouldn't make sense for them to be thinking about the same thing if they weren't both there.
Wonwoo returns the hat the girl was wearing to Mingyu while Mingyu is wearing the airpods they were sharing in the convenience store.
"Avoiding the rain" is a very common trope in romance dramas (made famous by the story Sonagi where the girl and boy take shelter together in the rain) but in this case when Mingyu steps out into the rain, it's also a sign of bravery. He knows exactly what is out there: the heavy downpour and darkness (as a representation of society and its attitude towards non-straight relationships) and still chooses to come out into the rain and encourages Wonwoo to do the same. It's obviously not pleasant being out in the rain, but at least they have each other to get through it.
or maybe it's just a love triangle with the girl, idk

The song “Bittersweet” expresses the conflict between the sweetness of newly-discovered love and the sting of friendship among a group of three longtime friends by tracing the delicate trails of emotion to the place where they cross. WONWOO and MINGYU helped write the lyrics, which illustrates the dilemma “between love and friendship.”Featuring in the song with her unrivaled vocal timbre is artist Lee Hi, adding a sense of maturity to WONWOO and MINGYU’s masculine vocals. The result is such perfect musical chemistry that this highlight is not to be missed.
From DESCRIPTION above ^^

Yes!!!!
@africkingmess7448
so basically they both like the same girl and they decide to give up on her (im not sure if they give up on her or on begin with her because they’re all friends so) to protect their friendship, which they think is more important

IT'S ALREADY 2024 BUT I STILL CAN'T GET OVER FROM THIS MASTERPIECE
@ShuaAholic
As a person who writes based on observations I can see that mingyu and wonwoo loved a girl who were their friend. They imagined their hangouts with the girl as dates. When they finally decided to confess to her, we can see from the lyric "eyes meeting but hearts apart so sweet and so bitter" that the girl see's them as her friend and likes their friendship and nothing else. This obviously breaks their heart. As in the last scene we can see that they moved on from her and happy with each other. Most of the people think that rain indicates sadness, its actually used to represent the last step of clearing your mind from something that hurt/bothered you or your life. (I was rewatching this mv almost 18 times to write this)
Edit: i think..I'm wrong but everyone has their own point of view
@entyalta
Yess, I think soo. And at the end that they still chose to keep their friendship....
