When the petals fell

Aurellia never believed in the stories.
Hanahaki Disease was supposed to be poetic fiction—something that happened in tragic books and sad love songs. Not in real life.
Not to her.

But then came the first petal.
Soft. Blue. Blooming from her lungs like a secret she couldn't bury.

Now, every breath is a reminder of the one person she can’t stop thinking about—and the one person who will never look at her the same way.
Seungmin.

As the flowers grow and her feelings fester, Aurellia is forced to make a choice:
Confess her love and risk everything…
Or let it consume her in silence.

Because the thing about Hanahaki?
It never stays hidden forever.
