In the heart of Tokyo’s bustling city lies a high school where two extraordinary lives collide. Siya, a sunshine soul with honey-colored eyes and a laugh that never fades, hides a fragile heart—literally. Born with a serious heart condition, she chooses to live every day like it's a gift, never letting anyone see the weight she carries.
Ren, the school’s perfectionist—sharp, sarcastic, and fiercely focused on becoming a doctor—has no interest in drama or distractions. That is, until Siya’s infectious spirit crashes into his structured world.
What begins as rivalry soon turns into a quiet companionship. But as secrets unfold and emotions stir, Ren finds himself tangled in Siya's world of forbidden freedom, unconditional kindness, and a ticking clock she pretends to ignore.
With warmth, humor, heartbreak, and healing, In the Time Between Heartbeats is a story of two opposites navigating friendship, love, and the courage to live even when life feels uncertain. Sometimes, the most magical love stories begin with a laugh that refuses to end.
