In the bustling, crowded streets of the city, modern men and women hurry along, completely unaware of the dormant life hidden in every corner. As dusk falls and dark clouds gather, accompanied by the rumble of thunder, street lamps dot the city's dim hues. Raindrops begin to fall, one after another, like mysterious water imbued with the power of life. Manhole covers, road barriers, mailboxes, drainage pipes, and even sign decorations are awakened by the raindrops. They quietly open their drowsy eyes, observing the familiar yet unfamiliar world unnoticed. The raindrops grow heavier, falling in dense sheets. Passersby calmly open their umbrellas. Among them is a sapphire-blue umbrella, who, like a child new to the world, gazes wide-eyed with curiosity at everything around him, receiving harmless teasing and care from his companions. Then, a lady with a red umbrella catches his attention.
So close, yet unable to speak. A short street becomes a treacherous journey of love, filled with thorns and countless obstacles...
