"Jay-ah, look at me." The voice on his left was steady, almost pleading. "You know you can trust me. You always have." Before he could answer, the other stepped closer. "Don't let him corner you. You don't owe anyone anything, Jongseong. Just say what you want." Jay blinked, pulse jumping. They were both standing too close now - waiting, expecting, afraid. "I... I don't want to hurt either of you," he muttered. "You won't," they said at the same time. And that's when Jay realized the truth: No matter what he chose, someone would break.

Prologue " Come here and kiss me.....make love to me", the woman said,in a seductive voice, leaning over the man. " Get away from me", The man said angrily, pushing the woman, making her fall on the floor. " I have never seen such a shameless woman like you. It has been less than three months since your husband had died and here you are busy seducing your husband's brother,like a characterless woman", the man said angrily, looking at her with a disgusted filled voice. The woman looked into his eyes without any expressions. " Don't talk rubbish. He is already dead. And you want me to bury my desires with him. No way, it's never going to happen. Moreover,now I have lost my heart to you", the woman said without any care. " If you weren't the mother of my brother's child,I would have thrown you out of this house. It's the last warning for you, stay within your limits and don't disrespect your late husband who had left his house just to marry you in the past. At least, respect his love towards you", the man said and stormed outside angrily. A tear escaped from the woman's eye. A sob escaped from her lips, which she tried to stop by covering her mouth. She was sitting on the floor, wiping the fresh tears running down her cheeks.

Regal has been looking for a place to stay for months. His only requirement is simple: the rent has to be cheap-because as a broke grad student, cheap is all he can afford. Every listing falls through. Prices are outrageous. Landlords stop replying. The clock keeps ticking. Just when it starts to feel hopeless, he stumbles across an unusual ad: Roommate needed. No rent required. The catch? He'll be responsible for cooking and cleaning for the other three residents of the house. Practically, he'd be a live-in helper. Under normal circumstances, Regal would have walked away. But desperation has a way of lowering standards. He takes the offer. After all-what's the worst that could happen?

We spend our whole lives believing we have time. Time to fall in love. Time to say the things we've been too afraid to say. Time to make memories, fix mistakes, and become the people we're meant to be. But time has never promised us forever. Sometimes, it slips through our fingers quietly - hidden inside ordinary mornings, unfinished conversations, stolen glances, and moments we don't realize are precious until they're already gone. And sometimes, the cruelest thing about running out of time isn't knowing how little you have left. It's finally finding something worth living for. Because when the clock begins to count down, every second becomes a memory waiting to happen. And there are some summers you never truly leave behind. Some summers change you. Some summers break you. And some summers teach you how to breathe before time runs out. This is The Summer I Stopped Breathing, and this is Aimee's story. ©️ Blessing Benedicta (plotbunnyxo) | 2026
