You resembled a bouquet of yellow roses, delicate and radiant in your beauty. Each curve and contour of your being, like the petals of those golden flowers, whispered silent secrets of elegance and grace. Your presence, much like the fragrance of those roses, had a way of filling the air with a sense of calm and peacefulness. It was as if you were surrounded by a golden aura, casting a soft glow and leaving an impression of eternal youth and timeless beauty.

With each rhythmic beat, the heart spoke a language of its own. A steady yet powerful melody, the sound of life pulsing through the body, its presence unmistakeable. The thump of the heart, a constant and reassuring reminder that life was there, pumping through the veins and circulating the blood throughout the body. Every single beat was a silent declaration of existence, a steady and undeniable proof that life was there, within the confines of the chest, beating consistently, without faltering.

It's undeniable, each time my gaze meets yours, my heart begins to flutter and race within the confines of my chest. The sight of you, the sound of your voice, the mere thought of you is enough to send a wave of emotions coursing through my veins. I can feel the thump of my heart, the way it quickens, the way it refuses to calm down no matter how much I try to control it. It's as if my heart has a mind of its own, and it comes alive in your presence.

The sound of thunder rumbled ominously through the air, its ominous presence filling the space around them

The sound of thunder rumbled ominously through the air, its ominous presence filling the space around them. Karina's delicate hands instinctively shot up to cover her ears, her eyes wide with fear.
The girls, young and vulnerable, immediately clung to Karina, their tiny hands gripping onto her legs for comfort.Karina's brow furrowed in distress, her fear of thunder evident in the way her body tensed.
The loud booms of thunder seemed to shake the very air around them, and each sound intensified her discomfort and anxiety.

Realizing the effect the thunder was having on Karina, Hyunjin felt a pang of concern and sympathy. He saw the fear in her expression and the way her small hands clutched at her ears, desperately trying to block out the sound. Instinctively, he took a step forward, wanting to offer some comfort in the midst of the storm.

As Hyunjin moved closer to Karina, the thunder continued to rumble through the air, each boom making her flinch involuntarily. The girls, still clinging to her, looked up at Hyunjin with wide, fearful eyes, seeking reassurance in the face of their mother's obvious distress.

With a quivering voice, Karina muttered to herself, "It's okay." She took a deep breath, attempting to quell her nervousness and regain her composure. Her eyes darted to the street, knowing she had to cross it to reach home. The idea of dinner with Hyunjin and his children faded in the face of the storm, and she decided she needed to be strong for her daughters. Karina firmly grasped her girls' hands, her grip tight as she prepared to lead them across the street .

Seeing Karina and the girls prepare to cross the street, Hyunjin felt a pang of concern for their safety as the storm continued to rage around them. The fierce thunder and relentless rain made the weather conditions dangerous, and the thought of them braving it all alone made him uneasy. He watched as the girls' hands were tightly held in Karina's grasp, their faces filled with a mixture of fear and hope.
Hyunjin's mind raced with thoughts, debating whether or not to offer to accompany them or find an alternative way to ensure their safe arrival at home.

Hyunjin took a step closer to Karina, the sound of raindrops pelting against the ground around them. He noticed the tears brimming in her eyes, her silver gaze filled with a mixture of fear and vulnerability. Her hair, usually perfectly styled, was starting to get drenched from the rain, wet strands sticking to her face.
He paused briefly before speaking, his voice gentle and sincere. "Karina, can I help you cross the street?" Hyunjin asked, watching her carefully for a response.

Even in the midst of a downpour, your beauty remained unmarred. The raindrops danced across your face, their cool touch a stark contrast to the warmth that radiated from within you. It was as if the rain sought to caress your fair skin, adding a hint of freshness to your already radiant presence. Each droplet became a tiny, sparkling gem, enhancing the natural glow of your features and making you seem even more radiant, like a flower blossoming amidst the storm.

With a mixture of hesitation and determination, Karina nodded and extended her daughter Luna's small, trembling hand toward Hyunjin. Her frown revealed a mixture of uncertainty and fear, but her eyes sought reassurance in Hyunjin's gaze. The storm continued to rage around them, the sound of thunder adding to the tense atmosphere.
Hyunjin took a deep breath, accepting Luna's hand with a firm yet gentle grip. He looked at Karina with a steady, comforting expression, silently reassuring her that he would help them across the treacherous street.

As they began to cross the street, Luna's innocent voice broke the silence, whispering to Hyunjin, "Mama, Daddy always carried her and took her home when it rained." Hyunjin listened intently, understanding the unspoken meaning behind Luna's words. A pang of sympathy coursed through him as he realized the emotional weight that the mention of "Daddy" brought to the situation.
He glanced over at Karina, who was making her way across the street, carrying her younger daughter Sunhee in her arms. The storm continued to rain down on them, the weather mirroring the emotional turmoil within.

As they reached the other side of the street, Sunhee, still clutched in Karina's arms, suddenly spoke up, her voice catching Hyunjin and Karina off guard. The unexpected words from the youngest daughter hung in the air, creating a moment of bewildered silence.
