Han Jisung had always lived in the quiet. With music as his only refuge, he drowns in melodies to escape the loneliness that clings onto him like a second skin. Despite having some friends, something is missing. Someone is missing. A presence he's only ever imagined. Then a message changes everything. A stranger named Minho bursts into Han's life with relentless energy and a strange request: "Give me a month." Minho is everything Han isn't-loud, fearless, impossible to ignore. What starts as an unexpected arrangement turns into late-night talks, quiet mornings, and a connection that feels like it was always meant to be. But a month has an expiration date. And when the clock runs out, Han is left with the question he's too afraid to ask: Was Minho ever his to keep?

Jisung knows his time is limited. He's made peace with it. With endings. With silence. So he looks for beauty where he can- in quiet mornings, in cute bunnies crossing the streets, in simply being alive. High School is cruel. The bullying is expected. What he doesn't expect... is the boy who hurts him to be the one who makes him want to stay. And maybe... just maybe- Cancer does have it's perks. You won't know... unless you read.
