Synopsis:
In a world where people's emotions manifest as physical phenomena, every person has a "blooming hour"-a single hour in their life when they visibly radiate an aura of their strongest feeling. Some light up with joy, some with anger, and others with sorrow. The blooming hour is unpredictable, and no one knows when or why it will happen. It's said that finding someone whose blooming resonates with your own is a sign of destined love.
Elara, a florist, has always been fascinated by blooming stories. But despite hearing countless tales, she has never experienced her own blooming. She's content tending her flower shop, where locals share their blooming experiences and purchase "match bouquets" meant to guide them to their soulmate.
One evening, an enigmatic musician named Callen walks into Elara's shop. He's different-quiet, intense, and guarded. Callen has already bloomed, but instead of joy or passion, his aura was a haunting, unnameable color that no one has ever seen before. It terrified him, and he's convinced it means he's incapable of love.
As Elara and Callen grow closer, their shared moments are filled with quiet beauty and tension. Elara begins to suspect that her blooming hour is tied to Callen, but she fears what it might reveal about her own emotions. Together, they must navigate the mystery of their connection, exploring whether love can flourish even in the face of fear and uncertainty.
