heartless, and breathless | ryeji

Ryujin's heart doesn't beat.

Diagnosed with a rare, unexplained condition, Ryujin lives with a heart that doesn't move-trapped somewhere between alive and not. She's grown used to the quiet, to the stillness, and not feeling anything at all.

Then she meets Yeji, fragile, but full of life.

Terminally ill with a lung disease, Yeji is loud, bright, and full of life in all the ways Ryujin isn't. She dances with her oxygen tank, sings off-key, and makes the world feel a little warmer.

Ryujin never planned to care about anyone. But when Yeji's around, her heart starts to stir-softly, slowly.
