Hanahaki

To the paddock, Oscar Piastri is the very embodiment of composure. A McLaren driver, a telemetry genius, a man who calculates every corner a second before braking. He has a flourishing career, a stable relationship with Lily, and a reputation as someone who cannot be rattled.

But in the silence of hotel rooms, his body begins to betray him. A hollow cough, a dull ache in his chest, and white lily petals falling to the bottom of the sink. Oscar knows this is Hanahaki—a fatal disease born of unrequited love. And he knows exactly who the cause is. The one he is forced to work with every single day. The one who sees him only as a friend and a teammate. Now, every briefing and every race is a battle not just for points, but for the right to hide his deadly secret from you.
