해바라기가 시들었다

As I walked along a disused railroad beside Gojan Station (고잔역 - Line 4), I knew I was late. Summer has gone and so was the season of Sunflowers. Drooping flower heads, wrinkled petals and frail-looking stems formed two fields beside the disused railroad, stretching to the end of visual horizon.

There was a sense of regret. The exact word in my mind was '안타까움'. If only I could be here in August, I could have immersed myself in a 'sea' of golden flowers. I have always wanted to walk in a Sunflower field when all the flowers are in full bloom. The experience would have been awesome.
