βSunoo and Ni-ki's love story began like the first rays of dawn: bright, pure, and full of endless possibilities. Their journey was the kind everyone dreams of-a beautiful mix of shared laughter under cherry blossoms, stolen kisses beneath streetlights, and quiet nights spent whispering dreams they never thought anyone else would understand.
β
βNi-ki, with his boldness, became Sunoo's safe place, his steady anchor. And in return, Sunoo's soft smile and gentle warmth gave Ni-ki the courage to be vulnerable. Together, they built a world that felt infinite-a sanctuary where no pain, no sadness, could ever reach them.
β
βBut happiness, as they would painfully learn, is not promised forever.
β
βOne fateful day, Ni-ki was diagnosed with a rare, incurable condition. At first, they fought against the cruel ticking clock, clinging to their love, using every moment to fill their lives with joy. Late-night dancing in the rain, endless road trips, and promises whispered into the dark became their escape from reality.
β
βBut as Ni-ki's body began to weaken, he made a heartbreaking decision: to hide the depth of his pain from Sunoo, sparing him the agony of watching love slip away. It wasn't until the end-when Ni-ki collapsed in Sunoo's arms during one last stargazing trip-that Sunoo realized he couldn't stop time, nor could he hold onto the love of his life forever.
β
βIn Ni-ki's final moments, he smiled through tears, whispering, "I'll always love you, even if it's from somewhere you can't see. When you miss me, look at the stars. I'll be there."
β
βLeft behind, Sunoo must now navigate a world without the person who made it so bright. As snow falls over the city where they once danced, Sunoo remembers their love-a fleeting, tragic, yet breathtakingly beautiful miracle.
β
βThis is a story of love, loss, and the unbearable beauty of having loved someone deeply...even if only for a short time.
