-
A man who feels young and is, in fact, still young, remembers the wish he longed for as a child, influenced by the rainy weather and the vitality from running in the dead of night. He imagines where he would be today if that wish had come true, reflecting on his identity, his family, his responsibilities to society, and most importantly, his own youthful naivety. As he reaches an end, he realizes that with the end, a new beginning has also restarted.
