Every minute without you, I can't stop thinking about you/ Because I'm going crazy without you /" The turmoil of love felt so strong in this song, that he doesn't know what to do.
Until he is willing to do anything. including if his partner tells him to wait, in order to always be close to his beloved. Onew with his soulful vocals makes us feel the same love that he is feeling in this song. As if we are also falling in love and can't not think about the person we like for a second.
