Chapter 898: Life Is Just Is
– Did June really do this?
-Fck, I’m so proud of him. Since when did he learn about trends?
– This trend is relatively new, too. June is a genius!
The next cut after the title sequence was Pops standing in front of the field.
“Ready, go!” a cue was even heard from behind the camera.
Hana shook her head and placed her hands over her face. However, she heard chuckles coming from the staff, which made her slowly retreat her hands.
Then, just as Pops was about to speak, it cut to the next scene. In short, only a breath was heard in the first clip.
Another round of chuckles was heard from the staff.
The next scene was Pops planting some rice and falling onto his butt. However, before he could land, it switched to another scene again.
“Rice,” he merely said.
The chuckles had now turned into laughter, making June confused.
“Ah,” he muttered.
Now, he realized what had happened in the first minute of the clip. Instead of cutting out the bad parts, he mistook them and cut out the good parts instead. Therefore, all of these were the cuts that supposedly didn’t make it in.
– It’s the iconic Gen Z editing!
– The ‘I make my gen z intern edit my video’ trend.
– I love these videos when they come up on my LikLok. They’re the best at promoting products nowadays.
-I agree! June pulled it off perfectly.
Truly, since these were the bad cuts, they didn’t flow coherently. The clips felt out of place, yet somehow, it also felt right.
The next scene was Pops frolicking around the field.
“People who don’t eat rice have mommy issues!”
– That, I agree with.
– LOL. What are these controversial takes?
– It’s all just breathing, falling, scenes of planted wheat, and some funny opinions. This is the best!
Jisung covered his mouth to stifle his laughter. This was right up his alley!
It seemed like the crew was enjoying it, too. It differed from the slow-paced, aesthetic video that Pablo’s team had put out. Instead, it was the type of video that was so bad that you couldn’t take your eyes away from it.
– Not going to lie, this is hella entertaining.
– Yeah, Pablo’s video was really pretty-borderline professional, but our attention span is so cooked these days that this satisfies it!
– But it really lacks the depth that Pablo’s team had.
– I agree. It would be weird to let this video win when it doesn’t contribute anything except for laughter.
Just then, as Pops showed a thumbs up to the camera, some sad piano music played in the background. Fortunately, it seemed tastefully done since June was actually talented in editing audio.
Ramil PD wiped the tears from his eyes as the sad piano music filled the garden.
“What’s this?” he muttered, finding it even more hilarious.
“This is so random,” Pablo exhaled. “Why is music suddenly playing?”
Then, the next scene was finally shown, causing the laughter to die down.
The others turned to June with surprise. They had to stop watching at this part a while ago, so they didn’t expect June to add the scene of their conversation with Pops.
Fortunately, this didn’t need much editing. He just cut out the part where he talked about his wife and talked about life instead.
“Life,” Pops started off.
The others started paying more attention.
“Sometimes we think too much about it,” he continued. “What is life? What is my purpose? What is the answer to all of these questions?”
The once laughter-filled garden was now silent, with only the sound of the old man’s voice resonating through the speakers.
“Life is something we keep trying to solve, even though there might not be a solution. I’ve spent so much time wondering about its purpose-questioning what it all means.”
He paused for a second, and at that moment, the music swelled, sounding more beautiful than ever. It made the others pay even greater attention to his words.
– Oh crap. They pulled out the humorous-emotional duo.
-What did we expect from June?
– Definitely not this. Why is it so well-edited all of a sudden?
– It’s not that it’s well-edited. It’s just not edited that much. This feels so raw that I can’t help but think I’m conversing with my real grandpa. I miss that old man.”
“However,” Pops finally continued. “Maybe there isn’t a clear answer, and maybe that’s
okay.”
“We’re told that everything has meaning-that everything that happens, happens for a reason. Sometimes, I believe that, too. But other times, searching for that meaning feels like a trap that makes life lose its magic.”
June nodded in agreement. He was being sucked into the video he edited, too. Pops’ words were filled with so much wisdom, and he was thankful that he was able to capture it on camera and play it for other people.
“Maybe life is just about what happens without needing a reason. You’re sad? It just is. You’re sick? It just is. There are things we can’t change, no matter how much we want to. But what we can change is how we react.”
“We chase happiness like it’s something we can capture, but we forget that it’s something we create within ourselves. Oftentimes, we stand at a crossroads-what option, what road will make us happier? However, how can we be sure that any choice will make us happy?”
The question caused Ramil PD to hold his breath. He, too, had experienced a lot of crossroads. And until now, he still wondered what it would be like if he had taken a different path. Pops’ words seemed to enlighten him.
“We can’t,” Pops smiled, the warmth reaching his eyes. “At the end of the day, life is just what it is both meaningless and meaningful at the same time.”
“So, I think the best thing we can do is laugh, make memories, and stop worrying about how little time we have. Because in the end, life just is, and maybe that’s all it needs to be.”
