Breakups aren't supposed to be scheduled. This one is.
Aiah and Rina have always been the perfect pair. Dorm roommates. Best friends. College sweethearts. They’ve stuck with each other through thick and thin, for better and for worse, in happiness and in sadness—inseparable, unshakable, and set to face the world together.
But when Rina suddenly suggests they break up, Aiah agrees, though it’s a decision that cuts deeper than she’d like to admit. Still, loving someone means letting them go even if it hurts, and she’ll sacrifice anything for Rina’s happiness—even if it’s their four-year relationship. They even set a date for the breakup, because what better way to prepare for the inevitable heartbreak than by facing it head-on with a corporate-style plan? That’s what adults do, right?
Before the big day arrives, though, there’s still a couple’s bucket list for them to tick off. From studio photoshoots to road trips, Aiah and Rina still have a few more experiences to share, memories to be made, and painful truths to face.
