Seoul's skyline was barely visible through the relentless downpour that battered the city. The rain pounded against the windows of the Lee family's penthouse, a grim backdrop to the night's unfolding tragedy. Inside, the atmosphere was heavy with tension and foreboding.

Ji-hye Lee, heavily pregnant with triplets, was propped up on the couch, trying to find relief from the intense discomfort of her labor. The contractions had started earlier in the day, and with each passing hour, the pain had become more intense. Her husband, Seok-jin Lee, paced anxiously across the room, his face etched with worry and concern.

They had been eagerly preparing for the arrival of their babies, who were expected in just a few weeks. The sudden onset of labor, combined with the storm outside, had thrown their plans into chaos. Seok-jin tried to remain calm, but the situation was becoming increasingly desperate.

"Jin, I don't think I can wait any longer," Ji-hye said, her voice strained. "The pain is getting worse."

Seok-jin looked at her with a mix of fear and determination. "We need to get you to the hospital right away. The doctors need to be there for the delivery."

Just as Seok-jin was about to call for an ambulance, the door to their penthouse burst open. Mr. Han, their trusted family friend and security chief, rushed in, his face pale and urgent. "Seok-jin, Ji-hye, you need to know—there's been a threat against your family. We've received intelligence about a planned attack tonight."

Seok-jin's heart sank. "An attack? What do you mean?"

"There's been a credible threat," Mr. Han explained quickly. "The attackers know about your wealth and have planned to strike tonight. We need to act fast."

Before Seok-jin could respond, a deafening explosion shook the penthouse, the sound of shattering glass and splintering wood filling the air. The building was under siege. Seok-jin's heart raced as he turned to protect Ji-hye.

"Ji-hye, we need to move now!" Seok-jin shouted, grabbing her and helping her to her feet. The building's security system blared in alarm, and the walls shook with the impact of the attack. The room was quickly filled with the acrid smell of smoke and the sounds of chaos.

Mr. Han took charge, guiding Seok-jin and Ji-hye towards the emergency shelter—a reinforced room designed to withstand such attacks. As they stumbled through the debris-strewn hallway, the severity of the situation became painfully clear. The attackers were relentless, breaching the building's defenses with shocking efficiency.

In the chaos, Ji-hye's contractions intensified. She looked at Seok-jin with eyes filled with both pain and fear. "The babies... they're coming. I need to deliver them now."

Seok-jin, torn between the need to protect his family and the urgent delivery, managed to get Ji-hye into the emergency shelter. Mr. Han, using his security training, set up a temporary delivery area within the shelter, calling in paramedics who had been alerted by the earlier warning.

Despite the surrounding chaos, the paramedics worked quickly and efficiently. Ji-hye gave birth to three beautiful babies—Ha-eun, Ji-woo, and Soo-jin. Each newborn cry was a poignant reminder of the new life that emerged from the devastation. The delivery was completed just as the attackers breached the emergency shelter.

As the attackers stormed the room, Seok-jin and Mr. Han fought to protect Ji-hye and the newborns. Despite their bravery, the situation was dire. Ji-hye, weakened by the labor and the stress of the attack, succumbed to her injuries. Seok-jin, filled with despair, watched as the paramedics worked desperately to save her, but their efforts were in vain.

Mr. Han, realizing the gravity of the situation, quickly took action. He grabbed the newborns and fled through a secret escape route. The penthouse was now a battleground, and every second counted. 

As dawn broke and the storm began to subside, the full extent of the night's tragedy became apparent. The once-grand Lee penthouse was reduced to rubble, a stark reminder of the violence that had torn their family apart. 

Mr. Han, deeply affected by the tragedy, vowed to ensure the safety and well-being of the triplets. The assassination attempt had not only destroyed their home but also set in motion a series of events that would intertwine their lives in ways they could not yet imagine. The storm had left more than just physical damage; it had marked the beginning of a tumultuous journey for the sur

viving members of the Lee family.
