ANNddd ohhhh I forgot the title lol. That's also why the mNhwa is "countdown to love" . It's the seme having countdown to realization that he has a reason live
I misinterpreted your theory as the actual plot for this series and was like"NOOOO WDYM HE DIES".
the reason why haedam has an overprotective mother is bc his father is part of a corrupted company. his father is an accountant and he knows all of this. In short, since his father has all the evidence of money laundering, their family is in constant danger. Hence, the mother being overprotective.
The story then progresses where the two are now lovers, and the end of the countdown is nearing. Of course, the two, specially the seme (forgot his name, sorry) has anxiety over the countdown. What if it was really connected with death? With the world ending?
Then stuff happens where haedam and seme are walking home but then, intimidating people stopped them. Surprise, surprise it was the people who are the enemy of the haedam's fathers company. Long story short, they get in danger and somewhere along the unravelement of the story, haedam saves seme. They were soon rescued and was in the ambulance but it was too late and haedam bleeds profusely. Seme starts bawling and imagines a future where he and haedam finally goes to the beach. They were happy and during those moments, seme realizes that he wants to love and live with haedam until they get old and gray. He suddenly snaps out of his trance when he heard the heart monitor suddenly beeps to a flat line. Seme looks out on the window and he saw the countdown was on zero.
Practically, since I want this to be a happy ending, a miracle happens and haedam was revived. The last chapter is filled with seme spoiling and loving haedam more bc he was afraid of loosinh him again. He wanted him to live a long life with him. The last chapter is shown to have the couple finally visiting the beach. The manhwa ends with Haedam saying "the sky is beautiful" because they no longer see the clock.
The seme realized that the clock was not a countdown to death but a countdown where the seme finally realize the things that he wants to do in life. Which is to be with haedam.
Honestly, this will NOT happen but I can't say I don't want it lmao. I'm just a sucker for heart warming stories turning into angst but then having happy endings.
