"If it fails, it's not love yet."

"Please don't go!" I pleaded while holding his arms.
"I'm sorry, my love but I have to. I am the general of South Korea's army and it is my duty to lead my troop. I will be back after the war, I promise."
I watched him go.
Little did we know that they were heading the wrong direction for the enemies have already crossed the borders and is now planning to attack the whole kingdom.
"ani! je aileul dachigehaji masibsio. nae ai! nu!" I watched helplessly as the woman begged for mercy.
My sight turned blurry. I feel like passing out any moment from now. I continued running.
Fires.
Burnt houses.
Anguish cries.
Where should I go? Where?
I was still running when someone gripped my shoulders and shouted, "I found the general's beloved!"
A couple of men came up to me and devilishly smiled.
"Eun-kyung!" a familiar voice shouted.
And there.. I saw the man I love the most.
"H-Him-C-Chan.." I said, almost a whisper.
As he turned to face me, one of the men grabbed my hair and pointed his sword on my neck.
"ani! eungyeong!" Him-chan shouted.
But it was too late..
because in my first life, I died horribly and my beloved lived miserably.

But fate isn't done yet, for it will make a way for two hearts to meet again.

"Make way for Princess Irish of England!"
I walked towards my mother's side, Queen Elizabeth, with my head held high.
"What is it, mother dear?" I asked after I curtsied.
"I want you to pick a husband from the royalties lining for you, asking your hand in marriage," she said while looking at the long line where the royalties are present.
"But mother-"
"No buts, Irish Jade Beaumont."
I have no choice but to face them, waiting for their names to be called one-by-one, hoping that someone will catch my attention.
"Prince Ezekiel of France!" I watched as the prince bowed and smile widely at me. I gave a tight smile in response.
"Count Altaire of Spain!"
My lilac eyes was met by a pair of sparkling blue ones. I was captivated for a moment before I realized what I did.
The queen chuckled, "I'm hearing wedding bells."
I blushed profusely.
As what my mother wished, I picked a royalty as my husband and it was the count with the drowning eyes.
Everything was okay. Or so I thought.
It was supposed to be the happiest day in my life and the whole England will be able to witness my bliss.
However, bad luck would always be there to ruin our happiness. Because on that very day, while smiles can't be erased on our faces and the twinkle on our eyes can be compared to the brightest star, I met my end and death embraced me.
Yes, I died. Through an accident.

"This is my fault."
I watched you as you messed your hair frustratedly. I want to reach out to you and tell you "It will be alright" but I remained silent.
"I should've stayed away from you," you whispered but I heard it loud and clear.
"Don't you love me enough to stay with me?" I asked, my face void of emotions.
"Of course I do. God knows how much I love you, Leave. But we can't.. we can't be together. "
"Rogue.."
"No! Not again,Leave! Don't you know how hard it is for me to watch you die?!" you angrily shouted.
"I badly wanted to take it all! I wanted to take your place—to die instead of you, Leave! Because it fcking hurts every single time knowing you're within my reach but I can't have you."
I began crying. Oh goodness, what have we done to deserve a curse like this?
"Why are you being like that?" your voice seems so weak.
"Why are you just like your name? Why are you leaving me every single time? Don't you think it's unfair? You die and no matter how much I wanted to die, I just can't—knowing you'll get mad at me if I kill myself. So I have to live a very long life, suffering because you're not by my side."
"Rogue, I'm sorry. I'm very sorry. We'll make it work this time. Just.. just hold on to me one last time, please?" I pleaded.
"No!" you said firmly.
"But Rogue, we're not sure that it's gonna happen again. W-Why? Don't you wanna be with me--"
"You know that's not it, Leave. It happened two fcking times. And I'm certain it will happen again in this lifetime. Do you expect me to let that happen again?"
"S-So y-you're letting me g-go?" I cried harder.
"I am, Leave."
When I heard those words, I wanna stab my chest to stop it from hurting.
"If that's the only thing that will keep you alive. I'll do it over and over again and not regret a single thing even if it hurts."
I saw agony in your eyes. I know you've suffered a lot during those two lifetimes where we were enslaved by love.
"I'm going now,hermosa, mi amore. Take care of yourself for me."
I closed my eyes as more tears fell. This is too painful. Haven't I suffered enough?
"And one more thing, it's you who told me that if it fails, it's not love yet. Ours failed for the third time. I guess, this is not love yet."
You said those painful words while your back is facing me. You continued walking, until my eyes can't see you anymore.
My breathing was ragged and my face was soaked with tears.
"May it be General Him-chan, Count Altaire, or my Rogue, you are still the same man I love for three lifetimes and would continue to love till the end of time."
Time is not our enemy, it is fate. And when you go against what is fated to be, you will never win, despite how many times you have tried and will try.
"El nuestro puede haber fallado, pero estoy seguro de que es amor."
