How can fate be this cruel?

He believed that she was the one for him. His soulmate. But, after living a different lifetime after a different lifetime, he thought fate was cruel. In those lives, all he felt wasn't ecstasy, but heartbreak. How could she forget him? How could the world let him live again for another life, but not giving him the love he wanted?

Jeon Jungkook has lived many lifetimes and remembered them all, but how could she forget them?

***

It was in his first life he first met her.

He was just a freshman in college at the same university as hers. Jungkook was a rather shy photography major who would awkwardly nod at the people who'd greeted him. It was during that year when one of his major subjects gave them a project to take any in motion pictures. Jungkook thought it was easy. Too easy. But, he was wrong.

Everything he took wasn't anything near good. He wasn't satisfied and the deadline was getting closer. He was fucked. He knew it.

So, he head back to his apartment to sleep it off early. But, a sight caught his attention.

At the park near the campus, a lone ballerina was practicing some of her moves. Jungkook marveled the way her lines move gracefully as the rays of the setting sun engulfed her. She was facing the sunset as she continued to dance fluidly. Enticed by the beautiful sight before him, Jungkook hastily pulled out his camera from his bag and...

He looked at the outcome and sighed, "Perfect."

"Excuse me, are you stalking me?"

His ears perked at the voice and looked up to see her narrowed eyes at him. He flushed before sheepishly rubbing his nape and looked elsewhere. "U-Uh, no. Actually, I was just...u-um, taking a picture of the sunset. I'm sorry."

She didn't seem to believe him, but she nodded, her eyes still watching him carefully. "Next time you do that, don't lurk around like a creepy stalker."

His face resembled like flushing red tomato.

After that, they actually became close as his friend, Sujeong, was also friends with her. He found out her name was Jeong Yein.

They grew closer naturally. Dating was inevitable for them. Jungkook slipped his confession one night when they were hanging out at his apartment.

They were both watching a movie as they sit too close to each other on the couch, sharing a big bowl of chips.

"I like her hair so much," Yein gushed, "Should I cut it that short too?"

Jungkook turned to her for a moment before smiling softly. "You'd look good."

Yein slightly flushed and cleared her throat. She rolled her eyes. "I know," she cheekily replied.

"I'd still like you anyway," he said absentmindedly, not knowing what he just blurted out. Yein froze in her sit.

He also froze upon realizing what he said. He quickly sputtered, "N-No! U-um, I was just—"
