Some romances are not measured in years, but in fleeting, precious moments. For the protagonist of this one-shot story, love is defined by a strict and heartbreaking timeline: seven seconds to fall deeply in love, fifteen minutes spent walking home together with intertwined hands, and exactly two weeks shared as a couple. Though brief, these transient experiences carry the emotional weight of a lifetime, becoming memories that will be cherished forever. Every stolen glance and every short journey together forms an indelible mark on their heart, proving that the duration of a relationship does not dictate its depth or significance. Bound by this unusually constrained timeframe, the two individuals must navigate the complexities of affection knowing that their time together is inherently limited. The central dilemma lies in how such a strictly bounded romance can possibly develop when the clock is already ticking from the very first second. Rather than despairing over the inevitable end, they choose to embrace the present, transforming ordinary moments into extraordinary milestones. As their two-week journey unfolds, they face the bittersweet reality of loving someone under a temporary arrangement, leaving readers to wonder how this fragile yet profound connection will ultimately conclude and what lasting impact it will leave behind.
