Summary
“Don’t you know by now that I adore you?” He mutters into your ear.
—
You’re desperately in love with a man who already belongs to another.
All you’ve ever wanted was to love and be loved. But as the only person to ever be born without a soulmate, you know nothing about what that really means.
The universe itself cursed you to never know the deepest and truest love there is for a reason. Because you're unworthy. And you can't pretend otherwise forever. After all, everyone will always choose truth over your lies. Why should Sylus be any different?

(Story is the slowest of slow burns until the midpoint with communication issues and Reader gaslighting herself into feeling more pain).

Summary
Your entire life has been your twin sister. You work with her, you live with her, and people are only in your life because they want her. You have no real identity. So when you develop Hanahaki for one of the various people that have entered your life for her sake, you keep it quiet. Until said man, Sylus Qin, finds out.
So, you come up with a plan—he can "help" you get better (despite you knowing that you'll never get the surgery and Sylus can never love you) as long as he keeps this all hidden from your sister. He agrees. And while he searches for a remedy, for something to ease your suffering, you fall deeper and die faster. It's a bit funny to you, like your life is some black comedy—the one person who knows the truth about you and wants to help you is the very cause of your demise.
All the while, you wish from the bottom of your heart that Josephine just let you die in Ever. It's what she wanted. It's what you want. It's what's best for everyone. Yet, you continue to outlive her like the parasite you are because Sylus refuses to let death take you. His determination would be sweet if it wasn't killing you faster.
