A lone boy sits in his bed and staring out of the window, his eyes are unfocused and his mind is completely in a mess. He has a problem with his heart and lungs from when he is in high school and he must stop his dream to attend a college because of his health issues.

His condition has become more severe in the last two years and a year ago he must make a painful decision, that's... break up with his girlfriend.

Just for something like pride and hope...

This decision is something that not just hurt the girl but also the boy.
