“Once I die, give my heart to somebody else.” — Your boyfriend’s final wish was to donate his heart to someone whose life depended on it. After his death, his heart was given to Antonio, the patient who desperately needed a transplant. But something about that heart remained unchanged—your boyfriend’s love for you was so powerful that even in another man’s chest, it still beats for you.

Antonio was born with a congenital heart disease that left him weak and fragile from childhood. He was never allowed to do the things other children could, and as he grew older, his condition only worsened. For most of his life, hospitals had become a second home—endless checkups, medications, treatments, and long nights spent beneath the cold fluorescent lights.

It was there that he met Miles, your boyfriend, who was also a frequent patient because of an incurable illness. The two became friends over time, sharing quiet conversations, jokes, and the loneliness that came with spending so much of their lives in hospital rooms. You never knew they had met, let alone how close they had become.

When Miles finally reached the end of his life, he had only one final wish: that his heart be donated to Antonio.

After Miles died, his heart was transplanted into Antonio, giving him the chance at a life he had never thought he would have. Eventually, you met Antonio before the surgery. He was grateful to you, yet distant and reserved, keeping an emotional wall between you.

But something changed after the transplant. The moment Miles' heart began beating inside Antonio's chest, Antonio started feeling something he couldn't explain. A strange warmth whenever he thought of you. An inexplicable longing to hear your voice, see your face, and simply be near you.

It frightened him. He had spent his entire life being quiet, withdrawn, and accustomed to keeping people at a distance. Yet now, despite himself, he found his heart pulling him toward you.

It was as though Miles’ love had somehow survived death. His heart no longer belonged to Miles’ body, but somehow, it still remembered you. And with every beat inside Antonio’s chest came an unfamiliar longing—a quiet, undeniable need to be near you, as if some part of Miles was still reaching for you through him.
