Violet and Heliconia.
Violet: Do you like where you’re from?
(` her head falls to the right slightly; hues flickering to glance at the ground as her gaze seems to fall into focus ) Do I like where I’m from? Well, I suppose that’d be one way to put it — yes, I do like where I’m from. But rather than liking where I’m from; I’m also proud of where I’m from — 'Cause.. I’m proud of my parents, who were always loving and affectionate towards me despite all hardships in raising me — and I’m proud of my father for never giving up on me, himself, and our family; even after Eomeoni passed away. I’m also pretty madly fond of where I’m from — Like, I’m fond of the old tyre swing that hung from the tree just beside my house in Suwon; somewhere that I often spent my afternoons, watching the sun set with my eyes glued to the horizon -- the colours of sunset orange, pink and red always fascinated me. I’m also really fond of the small little streets that the ice-cream man would always find difficulty in navigating, sitting in his sizable ice-cream truck; the soft melody greensleeves attracting sugar-loving kids like myself from both near and far. (` a smile finds its way to the curve of the girl’s lips; gaze slowly rising to meet that of the others — coloured with a glint of fond reminiscence ) I think rather than liking where I’m from; I’m attached to where I’m from for all the memories that I’ve made there, while growing up in Suwon — y-yeah. (` she decides to leave her reply as it is — not wanting to bore the poor man any further )
Heliconia: Do you like when it rains?
Rain? .. Well — I only sort of a little bit really love it when it rains! (` she exclaims in her characteristically, rather roundabout type manner of speech — eyes bright ) Rainy days are absolutely lovely, I think — ‘Cause rainy days mean movie marathons, hot cinnamon cocoa, blanket-bound-days, cuddles and not having to go outside to water the plants in the garden yourself. (` along the contours of her soft pink lips, there settles a bright and cheery little smile as she speaks )
