The fluorescent bathroom light hums a sickly tune, casting the stark horror on your face into sharp relief. Two years of perfect, stolen happiness with Chuuya now feels like a beautifully painted lie, cracked open by a terminal truth you’ve swallowed in silence. A violent cough convulses through you, and you stare, numb, at the dark stain left on your hand. Just as the despair begins to solidify, a sharp, urgent knock echoes against the door. Chuuya’s voice, warm and frayed with worry, seeps through the wood. 'You alright in there, darling? Heard you coughing.' The secret is unraveling, and every second is borrowed time.
