Beyond The Pain

🌸 Story Description (Blurb):

> "Some pain is loud. Mine is silent."

Hana has lived her whole life hiding her pain. Sickle Cell Disease has made her body fragile, her nights sleepless, and her dreams small. To everyone else, she's the quiet girl in the corner-smiling, studying, living like nothing's wrong.

But behind the smiles are IV drips, cold hospital rooms, and prayers whispered into empty ceilings.

When a sudden crisis lands her in the ICU, Hana's world collides with Dr. Minji-a doctor who refuses to sugarcoat the truth-and Jisoo, a stranger who sees her in a way no one ever has.

This is not a story of miracles or easy fixes. It's about pain, survival, love, and what it means to keep living even when it hurts.

Because sometimes, strength isn't about fighting. It's about staying.
