Until The Last Beat - Yang Jungwon

Kang Haneul has always been careful-too careful, some might say. Born with a fragile heart, every step, every laugh, every flutter of her chest is measured, monitored, and restricted. Her life revolves around medications, checkups, and rules she's learned to follow without complaint.

But Haneul is tired of living cautiously. She wants to feel the sun on her face, taste chocolate without guilt, and laugh so hard that her heart flutters-not from fear, but from joy. With her best friend Jiwon by her side, she dares to steal moments of freedom, tiny rebellions against a life dictated by her illness.

And then... someone enters her world. A presence that makes her chest beat faster, not from her illness, but from something entirely new. Someone who challenges the way she sees life, who makes ordinary moments feel extraordinary. Slowly, Haneul begins to wonder if maybe, just maybe, living fully is worth the risk.
