Whenever, Wherever (Boys' Love)
Ethan Myer had the kind of life people envied without knowing him. A career he loved. Money that never ran out. Friends who stayed late. A boyfriend who looked at him like the night would never have to end. Then a single crash took the shape out of everything. He woke to a future that still had his name on it, and a past that would not answer when he called.
Months later, the perfect picture started to peel. Strange symptoms arrived first, quiet enough to ignore, then loud enough to ruin him. The fortune that once made him untouchable drained into hospital corridors and endless tests. The work that used to thrill him went flat. The friends who had loved the old Ethan grew tired of the one who could not remember how to be him. And the man he loved was simply gone, as if the world had opened and swallowed him whole.
Now Ethan lives in a hospital bed with a terminal diagnosis and too many hours to wonder what was real. That is when he finds a diary. It belongs to a young man named Dawson Fontalba, someone whose life, on paper, should have looked smaller than his. Dawson's pages do not worship success. They chase something quieter, and far more dangerous to a man who thought he had already won: the right to be happy.
The more Ethan reads, the less he trusts the life he was given. If Dawson's words are true, then someone built Ethan's world on a lie. And if they are not, he may die without ever learning who he was, or who was taken from him.
