ON HOLD!!!
Jiwoo's illness isn't something medicine can cure.
Hanahaki - a disease that blooms when love isn't returned. Each petal she coughs up means her feelings are growing stronger, even as her body weakens.
In the hospital where every breath feels borrowed, she meets Heeseung - the boy with fading lungs and a smile that could outshine the sun. He paints his pain into music; she hides hers behind pressed flowers.
But how do you confess your love to someone who's dying - when doing so might kill you faster?
Sometimes, love doesn't end with goodbye.
Sometimes, it ends in petals.

Love Is In Bloom
Hanahaki Disease is a fictional disease in which the victim coughs up flower petals when they suffer from one-sided love.

Henry didn't think he'll be coughing up flowers for someone, but after falling in love with someone that he knows will never return his feelings...until one day, he coughed up a flower.
