The Summer I Feel Alive

Olivia is sick. To her, the chronic illness she carried since childhood isn't just a medical condition-it is something that burden people she loves and something that keeps her chained. In her mind, she thought that she's irredeemable, a lost cause. With only a few months left to live, she has finally accepted the inevitable. She is going to die soon. But when her family moves to a remote province to care for her ailing grandmother, Olivia's quiet resignation is interrupted by Theron, the epitome of life itself-vibrant, gentle, persistent, and kind. He was all the things she never was. He was the light to her darkness, the summer in her winter. While she already accepted death with open arms, Theron refuses to embrace the arrival that reflected the ghost of his own. To him, life is meaningless if lived in despair, with only the quiet ache of death waiting at the door. And so, with only a few months left for the both of them, will he be able to pull her up or will he wither alongside with her?

This is not a story of falling in love.
This is a story of finally, being alive.
