when I learnt to love

Kim Taehyung is a doctor - brilliant, calm, and cold. Love, to him, has always been an overrated illusion. He's spent years treating hearts, but never once felt his own stir.

Then came Jungkook.

Eighteen. Full of questions. Fragile but fierce in the way only the dying can be. Diagnosed with cancer, Jungkook's time is limited - but his dreams aren't. He wants to write books, read love poems, and feel what it truly means to be loved.

Their worlds should have never collided.
But somehow, Jungkook's laughter slips past Taehyung's walls. His words begin to echo in places Taehyung thought were long silent.

This is not a forever love story.
This is the story of a boy who came like spring - and left, leaving flowers blooming in winter.

A story about fleeting moments, lingering feelings, and how sometimes, the smallest soul can leave the deepest mark.
