“Four-Leaf Telepathy: Rainy Days × Rain” — V and BTS, a Prayer in the Rain

Intro

Hello, this is Mayu 💜 Thank you for reading today.

After seeing Tae looking for a four-leaf clover, I followed that telepathy and arrived at one song: V’s “Rainy Days.”

There’s a line in the lyrics—“You’re my four-leaf clover.” It sounds like a quiet prayer for rebirth.

Rainy Days is more than a love song. It holds the loneliness of those who have learned the truth—and the prayer to keep loving someone anyway.

Earlier, BTS sang “Rain,” a portrait of “not fitting into the world.” Years later, V chose “rain” again. That choice has meaning.

Selected Translation (free rendering)

On rainy days, I think of you—what should I say?
How can I find the way back to you?
Do you remember when I made you laugh the most?
Even if I don’t deserve to say this, let me make up for the time we lost.
Don’t call it the end—we can start again, open the doors.
You are my four-leaf clover.

Reading the Rain: Awakening and Loneliness

In BTS’s “Rain,” the line “On the deep gray Seoul where rain falls” is emblematic. Rain becomes a mirror that reflects both the weight of reality and the clarity of the heart. They stand inside the rain, facing the self that can’t stop moving, quietly resisting the drift of life.

In V’s “Rainy Days,” he sings “Wish I knew how to find the way / Right back to you.” Here, “you” can be a lover, but also the true self or the direction of light. From the gray world that BTS once painted, V stands as a poet who searches for light again.

Four-Leaf Clover: The Cipher of Renewal

The four-leaf clover symbolizes hope, faith, love, and luck. V uses it as a sign of recovering what was lost. The solitude under BTS’s gray sky in “Rain” transforms into the reaching hand of “Rainy Days.”
