•Chapter 1• Fated to Remember

AUTHOR'S POV

"Your Majesty! You called for me?"

"Why is it that I am forever drawn to you, like a moth to a flame?"

"We are not meant to be together."

"I refuse to accept that; you are mine, now and always."

"Our love is a secret, one that the world would never allow."

"I fear this is where our journey must end."

"If I could rewrite our story, I would weave it without any obstacles....
without any stupid social barriers....
just you....
and me...."

"And I would ensure we never part, no matter what...."

"Together, we would conquer kingdoms and defy time."

......And then the assassin, with a sharp merciless strike, beheaded them, severing their fates in a single, cruel blow.......

Pain.

Just pain.

Only pain.

Every nerve in his body ignited with a fierce, unending ache.

"Kookie! Jungkookie! Are you alright?" one of his friends asked, concern etched on his face.

Jungkook blinked rapidly, trying to grasp the reality around him. It dawned on him that he had zoned out once again, lost in that horrifying vision where the faces of those around him remained obscured. This wasn't the first time; these haunting dreams had plagued him since he was just five years old. Each episode felt so vivid, as if he were reliving the nightmare all over again. No amount of medication or therapy sessions with psychiatrists had managed to alleviate his torment, leaving him in a state of confusion and fear.

"Jungkook-"

"I'm fine, Jimin Hyung," Jungkook replied, straightening himself.

Jimin let out a sigh, concern etched across his face. "You had those visions again, didn't you?"

Jungkook simply nodded in response.

Jimin's worry deepened for his friend. He desperately wanted to help but felt utterly powerless to do so.

Jimin was about to say something when suddenly-

"KOOKIEEEEE!!!!!!!"

A high-pitched voice pierced through the air, making Jimin roll his eyes internally as he turned to find the source.

"Oh hey! Hi Mirae! What brings you here? Need something?" Jungkook asked, exhaustion lacing his tone.

Mirae gasped, clearly unimpressed with his lackluster greeting.

"Kookie, is this really how you talk to your girlfriend?" she pouted, her voice dripping with offense.

Jungkook just stared at her, caught in a whirlwind of emotions. It was true that he had loved her once, but now... now he felt that love slipping away. He couldn't quite grasp why it was fading, leaving him in a haze of confusion.

Jungkook just stared at her. It's true that Jungkook loved her earlier...but now he also don't know where the love is going...... It's fading.....he also quite can't understand.

Mirae started to lecture him-more like scold him-about how Jungkook had been ignoring her lately. After two years of being together, how could he do this to her? She went on and on, her voice a relentless stream of frustration, but Jungkook's mind began to drift. The vision he had earlier clawed at his thoughts, leaving him disturbed and distant.
