"I'm an architect, Elara. I don't care about the ruins. I care about the light that gets through the cracks."
Twenty-year-old Elara is a psychology student and aspiring writer who lives her life through "observations." She's sharp, soulful, and carries a secret that's eating her alive, literally. Diagnosed with Angiosarcoma, she's determined to live her "life in a year" without the pity of the world. She hides behind vintage dresses, witty barbs, and a silk wig, convinced she's a structure that's already been condemned.
Enter twenty one-year-old Jungwon.
A brilliant, precise architecture student who sees the world in blueprints and load-bearing walls. He doesn't just look at Elara, he studies her. He falls for the girl who vibrates on a different frequency, unaware that her "mysterious" disappearances on Thursdays are for chemo, not for visiting family.
When the secrets finally crumble and the "No Trespassing" signs come down, Jungwon is forced to face a design he can't fix. But as Elara's health fades, he makes a vow: he will be the foundation that holds her up, and he will build her a home in the clouds before her time runs out.
In a race against a ticking clock, they discover that a love doesn't need a lifetime to be a masterpiece. It just needs a beautiful design.
"You're not a ruin, my Pretty Star. You're the view."
