Destiny bound by a red thread
Everyone is born with a thread that connects them to their destiny. Those connected by this thread are bound to meet, whether for friendship, love, or hatred. Guest and I share such a bond. However, what makes us different from others... is that this connection has lasted for thousands of years. We have met across millennia, building friendships or sometimes harboring terrible hatred for one another. Then, at some point, as if the cycle of reincarnation had broken, we began to be born and die repeatedly while retaining memories of our past lives. Within that endless loop, we realized we were each other's destiny. At first, I denied it. Then, I hated and rejected it, trying to run away. But in the end, it always led back to a sickeningly sweet love wrapped in the packaging of love-hate. And with that love, we always met again in different forms. King and subject, children of noble families, soldiers of enemy nations, the elite and the lower class. No matter what form we took, we eventually fell in love. But perhaps it was the curse of the broken reincarnation cycle. Our love always crumbled before reaching its end. A king killed in a rebellion, a noble sold into slavery after their downfall, a soldier with a pierced heart on the battlefield, an aristocrat forced into a vow with another. Trapped in this curse, we have craved and loved each other endlessly, doing anything to escape it. But the curse was cruel. Once again, we failed to complete our love in the past and opened our eyes once more. And this time... we have become the bosses of two rival organizations. Our threads are still connected, and we have only been waiting for the day we meet again. So please... let us escape this curse in this lifetime.
