"How do you love someone who's running out of time?"
Est is breaking a little more every day.
His heart is failing quietly, beautifully, tragically - and only one year remains.
He hides the truth behind gentle smiles and helps his mother in their tiny market stall, pretending he isn't dying.
William, the nation's brightest idol, is dying too -
just in a different way.
Surrounded by millions, adored by the world, yet completely empty inside.
And when destiny pull them together
William sees someone who feels like peace.
Est sees someone hiding pain he doesn't say out loud.
Neither of them meant to fall.
Neither of them planned to need someone so deeply.
But while William learns how it feels to be truly loved,
Est is learning how it feels to run out of time.
A fragile heart.
A hollow star.
A love beautiful enough to hurt... and temporary enough to break.
This is a story of a fragile boy, a broken idol, borrowed time, and a love that grows even when the ending is already written.

Est hides his loneliness behind polite smiles and careful silence, protecting his parents from the truth-that their only son is slowly disappearing inside a marriage where he exists alone. When Est finally leaves, he does so without anger, without accusation. And only then does William understand: absence can hurt far more than rejection. This is a story about neglect that doesn't look like abuse, love that arrives too late-and whether healing is still possible once someone walks away. only story is mineComplete

Est closed his laptop, his heart suddenly racing. "There's a new café opening next week near the Ari BTS. I passed it on the way home last night-looks like they serve fancy cakes and all that." William blinked. "Yeah?" Est tried to sound casual. "I thought you might like it. I mean, you obviously have strong opinions about lemon tarts." That earned a real smile. Small, but honest. "They were too sour." Est smirked. "Exactly my point." William hesitated, then asked-almost too carefully, "You... wanna go check it out?" Est nodded. "If you're free. No pressure." William paused, fighting the smile already tugging at his lips. "Yeah. Sure. Sounds cool."Complete
