Ji-a never believed in second chances at life. After losing her parents, she built walls around her heart, living quietly under her uncle's roof. But everything changes when she meets Min-jun - a boy with a quiet smile, a hidden sadness, and a light that pulls her out of her darkness.

Their days together are filled with laughter, stolen moments, and a love that blooms too quickly, too beautifully. But behind Min-jun's smile lies a truth he hides - a fragile body, a fading time, and a destiny he cannot escape.

As Ji-a struggles to hold onto him, she learns lessons she never expected: how to love deeply, how to endure heartbreak, and most of all, how to live fully even when life is unbearably cruel.

Years later, Ji-a builds the life Min-jun asked her to - a family, a future, and happiness that honors his last wish. Yet in her heart, he remains her first love, the boy who taught her to smile.

A bittersweet journey of love, loss, and healing, this story is about two souls who found each other in a fleeting moment of youth - and a love so strong, it lives on beyond .

"She was his reason to smile; he was her reason to live. But some loves are destined to shine only for a moment."

Wounded Heart ✔ by Ruhi_93
57 parts Complete
She loved him with a devotion deeper than breath itself. He was her heartbeat, her soul's anchor. But he belonged to someone else. "He is my breath, and I will forget him when I forget to breathe." Her memories were hers alone-precious, untouchable, unshared. Even if the world told her to forget, she clung to the fragments of a love that was never hers to keep. Until fate bound her to the same man whose heart had long been buried with another. "I married you to fulfil my Aashi's last wish. You will never belong here." His cruelty was a shield for his grief. Her silence was armor for her pain. Yet somewhere between bitterness and heartbreak, something unexpected sparked-something fragile, something forbidden. But when apologies come too late and confessions fall on a heart turned to stone, love risks becoming nothing more than ashes. She walks away, her love long faded. He stands shattered, vowing to fight for her, to heal her, to burn himself if it means rekindling the fire in her heart. Even if it destroys him.
