Here's the case :
So it's been established from the start that jiwon wrote songs about his favorite story and kinda projected unto it.
What I had decided loooong before today, is that his first song would be him reflecting on how the prince dissapearence affected the people arround him. Cuse San would tell him wonderfull heroic stories, and adventures, but it seemed like there couldn't be a proper ending to the story unless the prince reunited with his family.
Arround that time, both Seo and San were less and less arround, they had intensive trainings and even were out of the country for several months at a time. It didn't help that lix wasn't very much there either and wouldn't reply to his door when jiwon knocked to spend the night with him.
Jiwon felt lonely, but he missed his closest friends even more.
So the first song he writes is about the lost prince's younger brother's pov.
By the end of the song, it's very appenrant he lost track of the story and was venting out his own feelings.
... now...
I'm currently writing the chapters arround that story line cuse I forgot about it and I jsyt remembered how much I love it.
...
And....
Older han finds his first notebook right... with his first song... right....
So when we read the notebook with him, what do we read ?
Either:
A. I write lyrics and it's fine if it's cringe and bad cuse it was his first song and he'll make fun of it anyways.
B.
....Take the song I accidentally plagerised
Here are the lyrics I would quote :
PROS:
it's EXACTLY the plot and we can EXACTLY see how it's shifts from talking about the story to his own feelings.
I love han lyrics so they are the most beautiful to me
any excuse to promote my top 10 songs is a valid one
saves me time
CONS:
that's blatant plagerism. If I only intended to leave the story as a fanfic it be fine, but if I want to use it later, jypipi will rightfully sue.
Han wrote it with something specific in mind, is it really fair for me to manipulate it's meaning by deleting parts ?
Other points :
I could change and model the lyrics even more so it's just inspired. Still the same cons tho
since the Choi crew will already cover songs, I could treat this like the other and make a warning or a clear undeniable refrence before the chp or after it. Like THIS IS 100% SKZ HAN JISUNG'S WORDS. STREAM "WISH U BACK"
I guess no one is expecting a fully original story at that point. I just worry that I'm going too far.
TO BE FAIR yes I'm not done ORIGINALLY I wrote the final chapter ( the one at the end if the 1rst era, where San tells him the lost prince was his brother) I WROTE IT with TXT's 'lonely boy' in mind. Like the song was on loop and it's the one that makes me think of the scene.
So I really did not intend for it to be the perfect fit for han's song. I guess I just wrote him too accurately 😔✌️ struggle hhhh
Mmmm now I'm torn. If I do chose to use han's song, I still wanted the chapter to be called " one's gold" cuse... Won... Han = 1, and gold cuse he says "GOLD" as he finds his songbook and cise the song is about the "Golden" prince.
And I would call the last chapter, the one where 3 racha bond over his old song : "Wish you back"
That way I'm the most direct as I can be, and also cuse it fits with the chapter feeling.
But my brain still associates that scene with TxT's song... then again, chan irl really loves wish u back...
Skz Han jisung - Wish you back
TxT- Lonely boy
I think my conclusion for now is the following:
This story is already a fanfiction, and the chances of me actually pursuing it in the future are very slim. I think I should just write the chapter as I want, and if the time comes when I have to worry about copyright, then I'll just pay someone to write a song.
I think now I should focus on advancing my story cuse in the end, as cringe as it is and how unorigibal I am, it's still a story for my own enjoyment. So:
I'll use "Wish you back" was Jiwon's first song.
The title for the last chapter will also be that song.
Lonely boy is an amazing song, I'll put it in the unofficial soundtrack to play in the scene where the open up to eachother, that way, I keep the song for when they actually sing it.
Wow. my first rant YEY!
