He........the one who lost his power. Just luck for the people you love.

You .......who must be hurt by losing love and faith to him who doesn't appreciate it.

She .......who was willing to sacrifice even the land of her birth to be beside him, the person she loved.

And he.....who was willing to sacrifice even his life to protect her forever.

Who will be the one who has to lose the most from this love?

This story is a very long fic. In my opinion, it's not finished yet.

But it's a story that we've been drafting for a very long time, but it's a bit fantasy-like.

So I didn't even get dressed. Because at first it wasn't about a mage.

The real bodies are gods, angels, and humans. But I tried and couldn't survive.

So I changed it to this instead. Good or bad, please tell me.

Encouragement also comes from the comments ^^

Football results, football analysis, listen to music, the reward of waiting

Someone once said that love is a feeling so big and wonderful that it's hard to compare it with anything. Because love brings special happiness. It can give us the power to do great things even if we never thought we'd have the opportunity to do them before. But sometimes love causes suffering.

Extreme pain like nothing I had ever experienced before. The wound that occurred became a wound that couldn't be found. But it still hurts like that. And there will probably never be a day....that wound will heal.

Throughout my life, the one thing that has made me happy is not because I am the daughter of this peaceful and magical city lord. But that happiness comes from the fact that I have a good true friend by my side like Zhou Kyuhyun, the wind mage. And to have him as our destiny partner who made vows to each other.....Kim Kibum

The number one mage of this kingdom.

“It's been almost 5 years since Kyu Kibum left this land.” His voice was filled with concern for those who had left. Convey the message so that those who listen like him can understand the feelings of the other party very well.

“It won't be long, Donghae. Soon Kibum will come back to you.”

“We are also waiting for that day, Kyuhyun. It's so cruel to just wait and see.” The wind mage turned to look at Donghae's perfectly beautiful face on the side before reaching out to hold her hand.

“You won't have long to suffer from waiting. I promise, if in the near future that man you have been dreaming of does not return to alleviate the suffering he has caused you, I, the Mage of the Wind, will bring him and his heart back to you. On my own, I make a promise.”

The words spoken indicate the firm intention of the person who made the promise. causing those who listened like Donghae to turn around

She was extremely indebted to this person. For nearly 5 years, people who were once close had to travel to distant lands. Only this person remains by her side. This good wind is always helping to blow away suffering and loneliness. Supporting you to survive and wait for your destiny to this day.

“My one and only love is given to my destiny mate with a strong heart. Please remember Zhou Kyuhyun, my eternal friendship is entrusted only to you. From now until my last breath the same.” Donghae's embrace was answered by the young man with the friendship that the two of them had for each other.

But if only Donghae could turn his eyes to the young man for just a moment.

You will see that this wind is your well-wisher. Living with pain just like you

One night after the daughter of the Sorcerer Kingdom had a meeting with the kingdom's high council to find a way to solve the country's problems. While heading towards her residence She meets a person who should not exist in this land of hers.

........Man without magic......

Even though she didn't hate her land, she couldn't even co-exist on the same land with the non-magical humans who lived in another kingdom far away. But there were strict rules that prevented humans from different regions from crossing the border to live together.

Especially in her land that was once nearly destroyed by humans without magic.

And this human girl came here. How could you, the daughter of a kingdom, be on the path to your residence, surrounded by soldiers outside?

“Who are you? Don't you know that this land is a land of mages where a non-magical human like you cannot cross the border? Like death or what?” His voice was resolute. Strong, indicating the power of the woman in front of her very well. And when she raised her head to look at the other person

So he saw that the person who had said those words had a fearful face just now. Actually, it is a person who has a fragile body. The other person's perfectly white skin resembled that of a person who had never seen sunlight. His beautiful face, if it were decorated with a smile and not the solemn face the other person was showing, would be incomparably more beautiful.

“My...my name is Hyukjae. Please don't do anything to us. Spare our lives..." The more you listen to the voice that trembles with fear. Donghae was even more confident that this person who seemed so weak to the point of being cherished would be able to break through her territory's elite guards and soldiers all the way to this area.

“Then tell me why and how did you come to this area? Moreover, why are your torso and clothes To have this much blood stained? Are you....injured?” Even though his tone at the beginning seemed a bit harsh, But seeing the other person's condition, Donghae couldn't help but worry about the person sitting trembling in front of her.

“He...brought me here. He told me...let me...wait to meet the daughter of this land..a daughter named Lee Donghae...that person will be able to help me..." The more I listened to Donghae, It can only increase the doubt in your mind. Just how this person came to be here is strange. This was also purposely brought here.

And also specifically to come see her again.

........Who did this.....

“I am Lee Donghae. daughter of this kingdom The person you want to meet.”

“......is it really you?” When you meet the person you want to meet, The smile of hope on the gloomy face slowly faded. appears slightly

“Yes, this is it. And who brought you here to meet me?”

“.....Kibum.....Kim Kibum...." was all he said before Hyukjae lost consciousness in front of Donghae's eyes. But that couldn't bring her to her senses. Because it's like all of your consciousness is lost. Since someone else's name was spoken from the unconscious person in front of her.

........Is it Kibum that brought this person here.....

.........What does this mean?!.......

The delicate figure's closed eyelids slowly softened. slowly forgetting Even though it hurts my eyes sometimes when they have to fight the sunlight that shines into the large, meticulously decorated room. Until she regained consciousness, she slowly Supporting her body, she sat up on the large bed she was currently occupying.

.......Where is this?......

“Are you awake?” But then a voice came from the side, causing her to turn and look in the direction of the voice. So she met the slender but elegant figure of the person she had been told to find. He was handing her a glass of water.

“Thank you.” Hyukjae stretched out his hand to receive the glass of water before slowly drinking it. The clear water was similar to ordinary water, but when she sipped it, it made her feel refreshed and her strength increased. I can't tell you.

“That is similar to the divine water I concocted myself. Don't worry, the water is harmless. To all of you.”

“I know. Kibum told me that you are the healing mage of this kingdom. ....and you....have a good heart. I can trust you.” What she said wasn't just because she trusted Kibum. But she believed in herself too. She believed that she was not wrong in looking at the heart of the person in front of her.

But Hyukjae probably doesn't know. The more Hyukjae expressed his belief in Kibum, the more That made Donghae feel a strange ache. That's just more mental. But Donghae swallowed and kept everything in check. Do not show any facial expressions for the other party to see.

“You seem to be close to Kibum. How do you know Kibum?”

“I...have known Kibum since 5 years ago when he sneaked into my territory. man's land I am a daughter of the land like you. We met because Kibum saved my life from being attacked. That made me know that...he was a magician. But at that time, he wanted to continue living in my land....

So I helped conceal his secret.”

“You helped conceal Kibum's identity even though which you know is against the rules You will still do it. Why did you do it?” Just to hide the feelings that she felt she might not be able to hold back any longer.

She is terrified of their relationship.

“.....ordinary person like me. But he dares to help one person even though it may be wrong for his own country. What do you think I did this for.....”

“If I just said that, you probably already understand everything, right?”

“Yes, I know everything. But you yourself I really want to know. Will you know everything like I do?”

“What do you mean...?”

“And if you knew everything like me, I really want to know more. What are you going to do next, Daughter Hyukjae?” The last words that seemed to convey some meaning but Hyukjae couldn't understand were spoken. Before the owner of this room turned around But not before Donghae had stepped out of the room door.

A question came from Hyukjae again.

“What about you, Daughter Donghae? You saved me. You yourself are no different from me. Why did you do it?” But that question left no answer for Hyukjae. When Donghae just stopped and listened to the question before walking away. without paying attention to her again

But there is one thing that the daughter of the human realm probably doesn't know. Just out of her sight The fragile body gradually returned. He collapsed and sat on the floor, exhausted. It's not physical strength that's gone. But it is the inner strength that feels like it has disappeared. Probably will never come back.

If what Hyukjae did was hide a secret to save the man he loved, then what?

She might just be hiding a secret. To help the lover of the man she loves, that's all.

“Kyuhyun, I have something to help you with,” said Donghae, who had arrived at the Wind Mage's residence. It made the young man very surprised.

“Is there something wrong? If I can help you, I will be happy.”

“Remember your promise, Kyuhyun? Your promise to bring that man back to me. Do you remember?”

“Remember.” Kyuhyun's firm words came out as he looked into the eyes of the person in front of him who felt that he was very weak right now with deep concern.

“Then keep your promise from now on, Kyuhyun. He is here. He is in this land.....He has returned. Bring him to me. Please, bring him with his body and his heart. Please help me. Please help me.”

.......Please bring him back in body and heart like he would never give his heart to anyone. Please.....

He himself could not know for what reason. The look in his eyes that even though he's been through so much waiting for the past 5 years, looks like he's hurt. But every time our eyes met He will always be able to see the hope that is the source of happiness for the owner of those beautiful eyes. But today it's different.

The moment he made eye contact with the other person when she came to demand the promise he had made, The only thing he saw in those eyes

It was like the strength no longer had any faith. Inside, there was only pain and suffering that the other party had hidden. And that made him decide without hesitation to fulfill his promise. Even if it was to let him know.....that his time was up.

Being the Lord of the Wind allows him to know its existence in various places. of those who want it is not difficult. I just wish that where that person lives there is only the slightest breeze blowing. He was able to know that person's whereabouts. But all this time he didn't do it, it was just his selfishness.

I want the time spent alone with just the two of them with the person they secretly love on one side to be a little longer, that's all.

...........Zhou Kyuhyun is just a selfish man.....

“I didn't think you'd come all the way to me, Kyuhyun.” The voice of a person who hadn't seen each other for a long time said when they learned of the other party's visit.

“But you don't seem surprised to see me at all.”

“That's because there's a breeze here. I'm not surprised.” Kim Kibum, who was known as the number one skilled mage in the kingdom, Turn to look at the other person who has been a friend since your own youth. With a calm face

“I came to take you to Donghae. She wants to see you.”

“What happened to Hyukjae?!!” Maybe it was because of his impatient tone and strange name. That being said made Kyuhyun even more surprised.

“Hyukjae, who do you mean....” Seeing the other party's suspicious expression, Kibum then realized that he had made a mistake. Kyuhyun doesn't know this. Donghae doesn't tell stories. Let his friends know

“Nothing, if Donghae wants to see me. I will go see her now. Thank you so much for telling me....and thank you so much for taking care of Donghae all this time." That was all he said before Kibum walked away. Without even noticing how suspicious the eyes that were staring at him were.

Upon returning to his own room where a special guest resided. Donghae simply took the food he had brought with him and gave it to the other party. Without thinking of letting the other person know that it was her food. who refused to eat with her father in the dining room Instead, he said that he would bring food to eat in his room to finish up his work.

Hyukjae's stay here must be kept secret. Because if this matter becomes known to anyone, not only her and Hyukjae will be punished. Kibum, who led this person into the kingdom, must also be punished.

Donghae knew that tonight would be the night that the truth would come out. Whether it was the fact that she and Kibum were destined to be together. Or the truth about the feelings of the young man who will visit in the near future? At this point, she was herself confused as to whether she was ready to accept it or not.

Donghae turned to look at another roommate who was eating with an attitude that indicated he had been well trained in manners and he could only say something in his heart.

Eat until you're full, Hyukjae. Tonight, both you and I will have to face many painful things.

Both you and I must stay strong. Even though it might be you who hurts me to the point of death in the future.

.......but I wish both of us to get through this well. I sincerely hope.....

“Kibum will be here tonight.” Hyukjae turned to look at the face of the person who had informed him of Kibum's arrival. After not seeing each other since the day she was brought to meet the person in front of her. Hyukjae was able to bring a smile to her face again.

“Really? You're telling the truth, right? Kibum is really coming here, right?” His voice sounded excited. Along with walking and holding her arm and shaking it a little, he couldn't help but make Donghae feel a little heartbroken.

Part of her heart wanted to shake off the person in front of her and tell the truth, that the person being spoken of was her fate. But on the other hand, she understood the feelings of people who could only wait for the person they loved. When knowing that that person was about to meet That joy would be great, not strange at all.

......Because she had felt this way before as well......

Donghae could only give a slight nod before gently peeling off the other's other arm and taking the other to rest on his own bed.

“Maybe tonight won't turn out like I or you hoped, Hyukjae.” Because that hope can only come true for you or me.

“Why do you say that? Kibum is coming to find me. I've been bothering you for a long time. I'll ask him to take me. I won't disturb you again.”

“For me....apart from Kibum who saved my life until I chose to give my love to him. To you...to whom I owe a great debt of gratitude. You helped me find refuge. Keep my body stronger. So you won't talk to me much. But I have always experienced your kindness and sincerity.”

“If one day I have the chance, I promise. I must repay you. No matter how difficult it is If I, Hyukjae, this ordinary person without magic, can do it, I will gladly do it, I promise.”

“Don't make promises to me, Hyukjae. You don't know about the future. If you make an oath to me today And the next day, you won't be able to do it. You yourself will experience pain and loss. or even your life may not be preserved because of your oath.”

“I made a promise, Daughter Donghae. Then I will do it.” Donghae was a bit speechless at the actions of the person in front of him. Before, she closed her eyes and was still confused in her mind. Every problem is tied up into a knot that cannot be resolved. And day by day this knot became tighter and tighter until she herself could hardly bear it.

But at that moment, Donghae sensed someone's visit. So she turned in that direction. So she met someone she hadn't seen in nearly 5 years. This person remained the same, not changing a bit in the image she saw.

..............But in her feelings, she knew. That something has completely changed......

“Kibum…” And she wasn't the only one who saw the young man's visit. Hyukjae's fragile body slowly walked in front of the young man whom he had not seen for many days. Hyukjae slowly touched the young man's face. Tears of joy slowly flowed down. Before Hyukjae hugged the young man tightly as he missed him.

It was the young man who was embraced by his fragile body. He turned to face another person standing still in this room. Even though Donghae still stood there as calm as before. But he could sense a certain hopelessness coming from this woman's feelings.

........But he didn't want to force himself any longer......

The young man then looked into the other's eyes again, as if conveying an apology. before lowering his head and hugging the person in his arms more tightly. To convey his feelings of concern to the other party as well.

“You are the meanest person I have ever met. Be aware, Kibum.” The other person's forgotten voice sounded painful. Until Hyukjae himself had to pull away from the young man and turned to look at Donghae with a surprised look in his eyes but didn't say a word. Because the young man who had already pulled away from her, but still held her hand firmly, uttered a word.

“I'm sorry, Donghae. I'm...ready to compensate you for my mistake this time.” Kibum didn't even dare to look into the eyes of the person in front of him anymore. His sins were so serious that he could not even be forgiven.

“Make amends?.....What are you going to pay me for, Kibum?....Tell me, you're going to make me pay for waiting. What is my love and care for you?!” His voice was harsh. words spoken And Donghae's attitude was different from normal. It made Hyukjae feel numb all over his back.

She looked at the two of them in turn. before turning to face the young man who was still holding her hand tightly.

“...What do you mean....What's wrong with Kibum...Donghae and...Kibum?” Hyukjae was about to be unable to control himself again when he caught his guilty eyes. person in front The more she felt like the world was slowly shaking.

“I'm sorry I never told you Hyukjae....it was all my fault. But please listen to me first. Listen to everything from me before you make any decisions.”

“Donghae and I are each other's destinies.” Hearing this, Hyukjae's entire body collapsed until Kibum had to hold him tightly. Even though the other person tried to resist, Kibum still hugged the other person, not allowing the other person to escape.

“But that's because my fate has decreed it like that. That is no longer my wish. I love you, do you hear that, Hyukjae? I love you, did you hear that!…” Just the word love came out of the mouth of the kingdom's number one mage. The figure that was trying to escape from the embrace calmed down.

before turning to hug the other person Transferring sorrow It was painful for the young man to know his feelings.

“..Why does it have to be like this.....Why do I have to love someone who already has a destiny? Why didn't you tell me from the beginning? Why?.....If I had known before, I wouldn't have allowed everything to be like this....I wouldn't have given up...." What was she willing to give up everything for the person she loved? together She left behind her own title, her family, her fiancé.

She followed Kibum here even though she knew it was a danger to herself. She was never afraid. But everything she does comes down to her not being able to love him because he already has a destiny?

.......It's so unfair to her……

“But I won't allow us to be separated. I, too, am ready to give up everything just to love you. Remember, Hyukjae, the only thing I would give in exchange for everything I have. It is yourself and your heart. Remember this.” The firm words that were spoken before the two looked into each other's eyes and hugged each other tightly to confirm their love were in the eyes of those who could only stand and stare. Hey all the time.

There is nothing to hope for anymore. Everything was gone when the other party had firmly confirmed it in front of her. That he was ready to give up everything, even her, for the person he was hugging right now.

“Then what are you going to do with me, Kibum?” His voice interrupted, separating the two of them very well. because of regret The pain of the truth he had just learned made Hyukjae forget someone else who in reality was a hundred thousand times more painful than her.

..............So how can you make amends for another person?...........

“Silence is not suitable for someone as determined as you, Kibum. You are normally smart, resourceful, and bold in your decisions. So why did he choose a path for himself? Even if you don't tell me what I have to do next!!”

“You have hurt me a lot. You have made me wait with love and devotion. I'm waiting only for you. But when you come back You haven't come to me. You just brought the person you love to me to help you find shelter. Take care of your body until it is strong. And when you come to me All you did was say you didn't choose me.

And show love to another person while I'm standing here. Have you ever seen me in your eyes?!!!” Fire of anger and tears poured out in abundance. Can't replace one person's broken heart Kibum and Hyukjae could only stand and look at the image of the person who had once been so graceful all that time. Today, he is just a person who is painfully hopeless in life.

.........Donghae must be like this because of the two of them......

[ continue ]

“Donghae...I was so wrong that I can't say anything anymore...”

“But there is one thing I want you to know. Because that is the truth from my heart. Even though I can't give you the love of a lover But I... never did not love and care for you. Even for just one minute.”

“I am sorry that I caused you this much suffering. I will leave here and never come back to cause pain to you again.”

“Goodbye Donghae, my beloved younger sister....”

It's too easy to say, Kibum. From a lover to a younger sibling You speak so easily

But do you know everything Kibum said? I don't understand what's being said at all.

The only thing I understand from you is that You don't love me......that's all I understand.

“I have nothing left, Kyu. I have given up on everything.” When the two people who had caused her so much pain in her heart walked away. Donghae then mentioned someone else who she knew from the first minute that he stepped in to take part in this situation. Even though it came in the form of a gentle breeze surrounding her.

“Does it hurt this much? Can unrequited love hurt us this much?” Donghae slowly turned to look at the owner of the hand that was wiping away the tears that were rolling down her cheeks. before hugging the other person tightly as if he needed encouragement

“Soon you will be well. You'll be fine.” This hug was not as warm as the embrace of the person who had passed away. But at this moment, all I want is to have someone who understands and acknowledges her feelings. That's enough.

But the hug might have been longer if there had been no noise from outside the property. Even though Donghae is weak right now because of how much love he has. But duty is duty. Donghae turned to face his only friend who was still by his side. Before nodded to the other party, who immediately acknowledged her desire.

By transforming his own body into nothing more than a gentle breeze again. Donghae saw that everything was finished. So he immediately walked outside his residence.

"what happened Why is there so much noise?” When Donghae came out of the room, he saw two bodyguards standing and bowing to themselves. before reporting various stories in a hurry

And the matter that Donghae found out was more serious than Donghae expected. At this time, the King and Queen of the Human Realm had entered her realm. Although the arrival of the two was not an invasion, But the intention that came from it was just as serious. Both of them informed her father that they wanted their daughter.

along with the man who had smuggled the daughter of the human realm back to her land to face punishment This incident does not only create problems in the human realm. Because such an action would mean that the mage had broken the law by smuggling non-magical humans to this land. What else is there to have that impossible love?

Donghae who only listens without offering opinions. Although he felt relieved that at least the King and Queen of the Human Realm did not know who the person who had led their daughter to escape was. But when I heard about the punishment that these two people would receive from doing such things, I was only worried.

The punishment was especially severe for Kibum, who had magic but had broken the rules. Removing his power and imprisoning him until the magician's soul disappeared It was a terrifying thing and she believed that even if it was Kibum himself, He could not bear the punishment.

“What should I do, Kyuhyun?” coming out of the meeting. The military leader was immediately assigned to lead a force to search for the Daughter of the Human Realm. And her father also welcomed the visit of the King and Queen of the Human Realm with honor. As for herself, when she had the opportunity, she immediately came to consult with Kyuhyun.

“I have no opinion on this matter.” But the answer she received from Kyuhyun was not as she expected. The more the tone of voice, although normal, does not indicate any emotion. But every time, Kyuhyun's voice had never been this disrespectful.

“What do you mean no opinion? Is there no way around it?”

“Only that must be the one who caused the trouble. The two of them took care of everything on their own. It is not us who has to make arrangements like this.”

“Aren't you going to help them, Kyuhyun?”

“Can you forgive the sins of those two? They are just wrong for the human world. land of magicians But those people have wronged you in an unforgivable way. Kim Kibum broke his own beliefs to love and care for you. This might be the punishment for those who break their oath.” The words seemed to remind her of what she had been done to.

Unable to hold back the heart that only worries about the person you love, even though that person has no heart in return.

“But I.....never wanted the punishment he had to receive to be this great.”

“Kyuu, please listen to me. I'm hurt...hurt that Kibum doesn't love me..."

“But I would be hurt even more than this. If I had to watch the person I love suffer forever like that, I really can't bear it.”

“Please, Kyuhyun. The wind that wishes me well If you could find a way to save the man I love from this suffering, Please tell me…”

“......If I have a way to free Kibum from his suffering.......you will be happier....right?”

“Yes..” Seeing the person in front of him firmly confirming his words like this, Zhou Kyuhyun could only smile to comfort himself in his heart.

............If I can bring some smiles back to you, I will.

...........Even though I really don't want that person to die. that makes you shed tears

'Right now, aside from the two of us, no one knows that Kibum is the one who brought the Daughter of the Human Realm illegally to this land. And furthermore, no one knew where the two had fled. Tonight, I will secretly take Kibum away from where they are hiding. You...go in and meet the daughter of the human realm.

Tell her to return to her own land. Let her confirm that she will not tell anyone the name of the person who brought her here. Just like this, everything will be over.'

'Are you going to let her suffer the punishment alone? Is it fair to her?'

'There is no other choice, Donghae. Both she and Kibum cause their own problems. Both of them must face the consequences of their actions. But don't worry. The punishments of the human realm are not very severe. Most likely, she would be locked up in the castle tower until the day she married. which you and I already know

She had a lover and now he was still waiting for her. Her punishment was therefore not as severe as we thought.'

And that was the whole reason why she had to come face to face with Hyukjae again. Hyukjae himself had a look of shock and guilt on his face. It was noticeable that the other party kept avoiding her eyes like this. But she doesn't have time anymore.

“Her parents have arrived here, Hyukjae.” The first statement caused astonished eyes to turn to look at her in shock. Before that sight changed to one of fear instead.

“They both want you and Kibum to be sent back to serve their sentence in the human realm. But our land has the same rules. Kibum cannot return to his land to serve his punishment. But he will be punished here. Punishment for those who smuggled you into this land. Do you know how severe the punishment is?”

“I...I don't know. I don't know...”

“Kibum will be stripped of his powers and imprisoned until his mage's soul shatters on its own. It's very painful, you know. If you die, you can't die. I don't want to stay. Even if it were Kibum, he would never be able to endure such punishment..."

“Because of me....because of me....” Endless despair washed over the daughter of man until she was too much to bear. Her body slowly collapsed to sit on the floor The tears that I thought were all gone were still flowing out continuously. The pain that Donghae was able to understand well.

But she herself was poor again. The only way out, no matter how much pain and guilt she felt for the person in front of her, she had to do it.

“Everything has a solution, Hyukjae. But only you can fix everything.”

“I...what can I do? I can't do anything.”

“Alright, just go back to Hyukjae...don't look at me with those eyes, Hyukjae. Do you think I want to talk and do this? No matter how much I love Kibum But I never even thought of using such a dirty method to snatch him back. If this isn't the only way for Kibum to escape punishment?

You think I want to do this?”

“If this problem does not occur I would have just let the two of you leave without holding back. Just like I let you stay in this land. I already knew that he was the one who came to take Kibum's heart away from me.”

“.....Donghae....”

“I am selfish, Hyukjae. But my selfishness is for Kibum alone. If anyone hurts me, I can accept it. But I will never allow Kibum to be hurt. I won't.” Hyukjae was stunned by Donghae's love for Kibum. Could this person love and sacrifice this much for Kibum?

And can you love Kibum half as much as this person?

“Do you remember your promise, Hyukjae? The promise you made said that you would do everything to repay me.”

“.....Donghae....”

“Now I will demand a contract. I want you to return to your land. And please don't tell anyone that the person who brought you to this land is named Kim Kibum..."

“Can you do it?”

“Hyukjae will never go anywhere without me. Remember!!!” A voice came from outside as the door opened wide loudly. Revealing the man mentioned in the conversation. Kim Kibum stared at Donghae with such fierce eyes that even the person being stared at felt afraid. But because she knew who she was doing all of this for.

So she chose to keep standing.

“Then what if you were to be punished by imprisonment? Does Hyukjae have to go back to you as well? Hyukjae is just a normal human being. If you have to be confined to that place It's not just the loss of life. But Hyukjae's soul will be shattered and unable to return to his future self again. You want it to be like that, right?”

“Donghae!!”

“I did everything, even though it was at great risk to myself. But because of you, I have given in to everything. And it's not that I didn't care about Hyukjae and told her to go. But because I already knew...that Hyukjae's punishment when he returned Hyukjae will not be harmed in any way. Even though she is imprisoned, once Hyuk Jae has a partner, she will be released from prison.

I will find the best way for you all. What else did I do wrong?"

“You are wrong for interfering in my affairs.” With these harsh words, the speaker probably had no idea how much pain the listener had to endure.

........The person you don't love. No matter how good you do, you will never see the value.........

“Then you should know this, Kibum. This matter has nothing to do with you either. This whole matter is a matter of my promise to Hyukjae. You're not involved, just know this.” When he finished speaking, Donghae turned to face Hyukjae again. Even though the other party still had a confused expression But Donghae still secretly hopes that people

This will understand you and accept the offer you offer.

But then everything seemed to collapse in front of us. When Hyukjae bowed to apologize to her again. Before Hyukjae chose to walk over and hold Kibum's hand. Then he turned to talk to Donghae with guilt for the last time before they all departed, leaving Donghae alone in this place.

'If in the future me and Kibum will not breathe, Because of my actions or because of breaking my vow to you. This person was willing to accept that punishment willingly. It's not that I don't love Kibum, Donghae. But because I love you and I know....that in this life, he and I probably won't have much time to spend together.

I would like to preserve the opportunity to continue living together like this. The only thing, Donghae Things I regret about my decisions It means having to bring tears to those who have been gracious to me. In this life, I can only apologize to you. Please forgive people like me....'

“Idiot, both of you are so stupid.” That was what the person left could only say with tears shed, but he couldn't figure out what emotion those tears were coming from.

Pain....pity.....torture.....pity

What am I feeling?

“Soldiers hunted them in every direction. Now everyone knew that the person who had led the Daughter of the Human Realm to escape here was Kibum. .....There's no way they'll survive.” Zhou Kyuhyun secretly observed Donghae's attitude since returning from Kibum's hiding place that day. No more words were said, all Donghae did was stare aimlessly out the window.

The fact that people in the kingdom are aware of the identity of the perpetrator There was something strange about every pair of eyes that looked at Donghae.

Sometimes it's like looking at it with pity.

But sometimes it is seen as if she is the perpetrator herself.

“Sometimes I secretly think that all this suffering is because the two of them broke their vows to you. Until now, I'm secretly afraid as well.... because I've broken my promise to you as well.” Donghae turned his eyes to the speaker with a calm expression, showing no emotion. But that could no longer prevent the other party from venting their feelings.

“I made a vow to bring Kim Kibum's body and heart to you. But I...can't bring that man's heart to look at for you. I must prepare to face the consequences, right?” Still, only silence was the answer for Kyuhyun. But before he could turn his face and run away An item was held in front of Kyuhyun.

“Take this necklace and return it to its owner. And tell him that he and I are over.” Kyuhyun held out his hand to take the necklace.

“Don't travel with the wind. You must travel with your own two feet. Use all of your concentration to focus on Kibum and not be distracted anywhere else. Then come back to me with your own two feet as well. Can you do as I tell you?” Donghae's request couldn't help but feel surprised by Kyuhyun. But when he saw the determination in the other party's eyes, he could only nod in agreement. and departed immediately

And maybe it was because of his determination towards Kibum as Donghae had requested. This made Kyuhyun unable to hear what Donghae said when he left.

“The regrets you have had since you met and loved me. This is enough for you, Kyuhyun. Please don't rush back to have your soul shattered. Just like the destiny I see in the future.”

[ continue ]

Kyuhyun's long journey arrived at his destination three days after leaving. Today's Kim Kibum is very different from yesterday's Kim Kibum, who was a number one magician. Because even now Kibum has not been stripped of his power. However, not being able to use magic to prevent tracking is considered to have very different results.

The once elegant young man today looked very thin and weak. If today the person who came wasn't him who had no ill intentions. But with a handful of skilled soldiers, he thought it would not be difficult to capture this person.

“What else do you want to trick us by coming here?” Those words that didn't even sound like welcome words It was unbelievable that it would be said by someone who was once a friend.

“I never intended to do that. You know best.”

“But the last time I saw you You tricked me into letting Donghae go and lure Hyukjae back to face his punishment in the land of humans.” Kibum's anger still lingered in his mind at the thought of separating the person he loved far away. It still exists in Kibum's thoughts.

“So all that Donghae and I did wasn't for you? If it's because you're not my friend Or if it weren't for Donghae's steadfast love for you? Do you think the two of me are like this? You do not know the character and actions of the person who was once your dear friend. With the person who was once your destiny?”

Kibum turned to look at Kyuhyun's face when he heard the truth from the other person's heart. Before he realized that everything that had to be like this came from his own actions. Kyuhyun held out another thing for him to accept.

“Your necklace that was given to Donghae for protection from danger has now been given back to you by Donghae. The last thing Donghae has to say to you is that you and her are over.”

“How is Donghae?” Even though they never loved like a couple, But the bond that we have had for so long can't help but make me worry about another person who will be affected by his actions.

“Every pair of eyes looking at Donghae right now is full of doubt, pity, and pity for those who were abandoned by their fate. What do you want me to do?” Kyuhyun's sarcasm this time couldn't make Kibum angry anymore. The only feeling the young man had right now was guilt and regret for his actions.

“I am only responsible for bringing this to you. When my duty is over, I should go. May you and the daughter of the City of Man make the most of this opportunity to spend together. Follow the path that you have chosen to walk. This is the last good hope I have for you all with all my heart. Goodbye..”

"Wait Kyu...can I still...be friends with you?" Never for a moment did he think that today he had lost this friend. Is there a way for him to get this true friend back?

“In this life, you and I are really at odds with each other, Kibum. But I don't want to hold a grudge against you again. If you are reborn in the future, you and I will be on the same planet. same land Until that day, I will be happy to be friends with you again, Kim Kibum.” Those were the last words the two of them had a chance to talk to each other.

On the return trip, Kyuhyun still fulfilled his promise to Donghae by walking on both feet. Even though it would take nearly three more days. But if that is Donghae's wish, he is always ready to follow it. But the chaos he saw within a land that was on the outskirts of this land couldn't help but surprise him.

What exactly happened here!...

“Lord Kyuhyun, is it really you?” He just stepped into the city. The shocked tones of the people around him couldn't help but be surprised.

“Yes, do you guys have something against me?”

“Lord Kyuhyun, please, please go help my little daughter. I don't believe she would do that. Help her, please.”

“What do you guys mean? What happened!!”

“Our little daughter. She had already confessed to the King that she had assisted in the escape of Lord Kibum and the daughter of that human city. She asked for punishment in death. She will drink poison to kill herself today, sir.” The voices of the townspeople surrounding him trembled. It was not as scary as the truth he had known.

But in just a moment, he was about to use his magic to lead him to that person. A voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

'You made a promise to me, Kyu. You will come back to me with your own two feet. Don't break your promise to me.'

'no!! If that will make it impossible for me to help you who are all alone. I will not do as you say.'

'Are you going to break your promise to me again, Kyuhyun? I just want one of you to be able to keep your oath to me. Isn't that right?"

'But that doesn't mean I might not be there in time to save your life.'

'If you come in time, you will save my life. But if not, what size? The next time we meet again, Zhou Kyuhyun, I will be there to protect you for the rest of my life. This time I make an oath.'

'Why...Donghae...why'

'This is the last thing I ask of Kyuhyun. If you want to come to me, come with your own two feet.'

Why? Donghae? Why would you do this to yourself and to me? But whatever the reason, Kyuhyun started running, using all his strength to make his way to the punishment ceremony area. All the way he ran, no matter how many people he had to collide with. No matter how many times he fell, Kyuhyun would still get up and run to the place where the people he loved were.

Donghae was waiting for him there.

But on the other side was Donghae who was standing still. Instead, he slowly opened his eyes. Before letting the last tear fall out This last tear was no longer shed for that man. But these tears were shed for another man who was pitiful and almost had his soul broken. If she didn't break the rules by using the forbidden magic, look into the future.

She probably didn't know that Kyuhyun's spirit was shattered the moment he saw her drink the glass of poison and die in front of his eyes.

But because the future is something that cannot be changed. She couldn't force Kyuhyun or herself to live any longer. All she could do was let Kyuhyun arrive here as late as possible. I just wish he didn't come in time when she had to drink the medicine and pass away. I just wanted him to see her lifeless body.

Even though Kyuhyun's body died next to her as well. But it will continue to preserve Kyuhyun's spirit.

And that will make him and you meet again. To be destined to be together in the world to come

.............That's right. Her destiny has been changed. But it's not in this lifetime that we'll be together.

Donghae sensed Kyuhyun getting close. And that told her that it was her time.

“Goodbye, Kyuhyun. The next time we meet, I will love you very much. To make up for the fact that in this life I didn't love you at all.” As soon as those words were finished, the poison in front of him was completely lifted and downed. No more tears Only a smile was the last thing that adorned this pretty face.

I succeeded Kyuhyun. I have successfully protected the soul of my future mate.

Kyuhyun's whole world seemed to end right there. He was too late. He arrived here too late. The body of the person he loved lay still, no longer alive or breathing.

“I...didn't make it in time, Donghae....why....didn't you wait for me.....if it was for you, even if I had to do the same as Kibum? By taking you away to a very distant place. ....I will do it. And why Donghae....why didn't you wait for me?”

If only this person were alive Even if he has to love only one side and it hurts, he can accept it.

But when there is no one for him to love anymore Why would he continue to suffer like this?

“You tell me if we meet again in the future. You will allow me to protect you for the rest of your life.” He stroked his face, which was white and different from the way it had been since they'd met before. But that doesn't make the love he has for you any less.

“Then I will go in the future to protect you so that no one will hurt you or cause you to shed any more tears like you did in this life.” The personal sword that was raised aloft caused screams from all over the area to be astonished. with the unexpected actions of this Lord of the Winds And before anyone could stop him, the sword pierced the body of the young man who owned it.

“Wait for me to protect you, Donghae. This time...you must wait for me.”

Time is something that never waits for anyone. No matter how much power that person has, cannot fight against the thing called time. For hundreds of years, people have been born and died. But it is not the only person who continues to live a life of suffering.

After the events of that day that caused him to lose Kyuhyun and Donghae. Not long after, both he and Hyukjae learned the story. He himself, no matter how much he was hurt by the loss. But that still seemed small compared to someone with a fragile heart like Hyukjae.

The loss, hopelessness, and guilt that gnawed at his heart quickly caused Hyukjae's body to deteriorate. In addition, Hyukjae had to wander after him to escape capture. It was only a short time later that he realized another great loss in his life. Hyukjae's last words were still etched into his mind.

'I can't live anymore....our love....has really both happiness and suffering. I'm happy that I love you. But I'm suffering...it's no different because my love is truly a wrong love. Because we love each other based on the disaster of the people around us.....maybe not meeting each other in the future is the best thing.

But know this, Kibum, that in this life I love you. Because of love for you.....I have suffered to the point of death...'

After Hyukjae left, he decided to surrender himself to receive the punishment he deserved long ago. To be stripped of his power and imprisoned until this mage's soul was broken. It was as if the time he had waited for nearly a hundred years was about to end.

'Kibum, you're about to be freed,' said a voice that hadn't been heard in a long time. But it could never be erased from his memory. Kibum slowly opened his eyes and saw the beautiful face of this person as before, unchanged from his memories.

“Donghae...you...really you?” But his body was too tired to touch Donghae's body. However, he could feel that his head was now resting on the other person's lap. By Donghae gradually Touch his hair with the same gentleness as in yesterday.

'It's really me, Kibum. I'm coming to you before we go into the world beyond.'

“Because of me, right? That made you have to be like this.”

'Because of me, Kibum. It's not about you. I love you so much in this lifetime. Because I love you, I have waited for this day. The day you will be released from this confinement and go to the next world together.'

“Even though I have hurt you this much. But you are still good to me. Hundreds of patiently waiting for me Is this a year like this?”

'Because this is the last time I will love you. In the future, you and I will be just good acquaintances. I will never be able to love you again. Because the person I would love at that time was Kyuhyun. and will be him forever in all my births and deaths.'

“I....can only say congratulations to you, right?” The Donghae he saw only gave him a heartfelt smile in response.

'Kibum, the only thing I can tell you. Even if telling you this won't solve anything, remember this and don't meet Hyukjae again. Because the two of you had both crossed out your fate. Every new life of yours if we meet You will not be able to love each other in this life.

Or you can't stop loving them either.'

“It is the result of my actions that harmed you all. And broke my oath to you, right?” Donghae didn't answer any more questions for him. Only his touch tried to comfort him.

'Sleep well, Kibum. It's time for you to be free from the suffering of this life. Goodbye, my destiny in this life. No matter how many tears I have But I'm glad I ever loved you. See you again, my brother in the next world.'

“Why do you feel like you're more excited than a bride-to-be like me?” The sultry tone of the person sipping coffee in front of him didn't seem strange to her in the slightest. It turned out to be such an amusing sight that he had to accidentally laugh, causing the other party to turn on him even harder than before.

“Please don't be upset. And who said I wasn't excited? I'm so excited that I can't eat the cake and I'm afraid that I'll be fat and not look pretty in my wedding dress, you see?" After speaking, that was all it took for him to make a face. Zhou Kyuhyun, a young executive who is successful in both careers and and love He hurriedly extended his hand to hold the other person's hand to bring him closer.

With his other hand he scooped up a delicious-looking cake and fed it to the person in front of him.

Lee Donghae saw the reaction of his lover who would soon become his soul mate. He even smiled at the care of another person. before reaching forward to take the cake into his mouth Without forgetting to smile at Kyuhyun in thanks.

“You don't have to lose weight, you know? I think Donghae is too skinny, do you know that? Moreover, no matter how fat I am, I still love Donghae alone. I definitely have no intention of changing the bride, I assure you.” Not only the words, but the hand that once held Donghae's hand is now Changed to caressing the other person's cheek with gentleness Until Donghae couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

“Well, Donghae wants to be beautiful on our important day. Why wouldn't Brother Kyu be proud of having a beautiful bride?"

“I was most proud from the day I had a boyfriend named Donghae and the day Donghae agreed to marry you. So you don't have to do anything for me, you know? Eat a lot. I think your boyfriend would be cute if he were a little fatter.”

“Brother Kyu is crazy!..”

“So today, did Kibum come back to sleep at home? Or did he sleep in his condo again?” after driving the bride-to-be home. But he didn't meet his own friend, who was the older brother of his lover. Kyuhyun couldn't help but wonder.

"Kibum hyung hasn't come to sleep at my house for a long time. Why?"

“Oh, it's nothing. I'm just going to remind him that don't forget to make yourself free and come be the photographer at our event. It's just a matter of time when he gets a foreign job and runs away."

“Brother Kyu is crazy. If Kibum hyung is going to run away? He ran away because Kyu repeated this every day until he was annoyed.”

"Really? Oh, I'm just kidding. I just happen to have something to talk to him about. I guess I'll have to stop by and look for it. Then I'll go first. See you tomorrow." After saying that, he didn't forget to kiss his bride-to-be on the cheek to make her feel embarrassed. Donghae reached out to hit the other person to relieve his embarrassment. But when he was held by his hand, he stopped.

“Please tell Kibum hyung that Donghae misses you very much. Please go home. Donghae is already lonely. And P'Kyu drives well. Donghae is worried.” Maybe because he spoke cutely, Donghae was kissed again before quickly running away. But while Kyuhyun was about to get into his own car,

“Oh, Kyuhyun,” a voice greeted him causing the young man's body to stop. before turning to bow and greet the other party

“Kyuhyun is going to see...Kibum, right?”

“Yes, Hyukjae hyung, is there something wrong?”

“Brother...no, nothing. Have a nice trip.”

“Yes, I beg you.” But it wasn't until Kyuhyun got in the car. Hyukjae, as if gathering his courage, called out to the young man again.

“Kyuhyun, please take care of him.”

“You don't have to worry, Hyukjae hyung. I will take care of my friend. You yourself...stay strong."

“Oh, Kyuhyun, don't worry. You... can really take care of yourself.”

“Here, you really agreed to immigrate yourself here. Is that right?” When you see the condition of the condo that was once luxurious, today it has become more of a mess. Troubled that he had to help clean up as little as he could.

..........He won't do it. In the end, the person who had to do it was Donghae......

But it's not always that Donghae has to come clean up here. Because Kibum himself loves his younger sibling more than anything. Normally, he takes over Donghae and does everything himself so that Donghae can live comfortably without having to do anything. But if you really can't clean up in time When Donghae suddenly comes to visit, it's a different story.

“Oh, and if today you're going to talk about taking photos on your wedding day with my little sister again, you don't have to say it. If you say that again, I'll really run away."

“Then you can just run away. I would have hired someone else to film Donghae's wedding instead. Take someone who is better than you. So you're really going to run away, right? Then I'm going to call him.” No matter what, Kyuhyun actually picked up the phone and prepared to call. Troubled that the older brother who was jealous of his younger sister, even the photos, had to run and take the phone away from the agent.

“Hey, I don't want it! What's the point of allowing other people to take photos at Donghae's wedding? I can take pictures of people.”

"Oh my gosh, I thought it would." Seeing his good friend's jealous attitude towards his younger sister, I couldn't help but laugh before I snatched the phone back and put it back in the same way.

“Before I came, I also met Hyukjae hyung.” Seeing that my friend was in a mood to talk, Kyuhyun then brought up the matter while also observing his friend's condition. And that made Kyuhyun see that his friend stopped as soon as he heard this name.

........No matter what, I can't give up.........

“Are you going to escape him and stay here all the time? Running away won't help anything.” Seeing Kibum's pained expression, he couldn't help but worry about his friend's feelings.

“Then what do you want me to do? Do you want me to go back and look at his face and admit that he's another one of my older sisters? I'll be honest, I can't do it.”

“But no matter what, you can accept it.” Kibum's love story is his own inability to help find a solution. Since this friend's entire life, the only person he had always loved since high school was a senior at school at that time.

.............That senior who is now his half-sister. Brother Hyukjae......

He still remembers Kibumman's happy expression when he ran up to him shouting and hugging his neck and telling him that Hyukjae hyung accepted his love. He's already Hyukjae's boyfriend. His love with Hyukjae hyung has always been good. But because at that time Kibum was very strict about his studies. Some school activities his father doesn't even encourage him to do.

Kibum has some problems with his father. To the extent that Kibum agreed to use the surname of the Kim family, which is his mother's family. rather than using the Lee family surname on the father's side. As a result, at that time Kibum was unable to bring Hyukjae senior to reveal to the family. Even Donghae and Kibum only said that he has a girlfriend. One day it will bring us to know you again.

But when he started university, Hyukjae and Kibum started having problems more often. The main reason was that Hyukjae was uncomfortable having to hide in order to hide it from Kibum's father. Until finally the two of them broke up. At that time Kibum was very sad. If at that time he wasn't worried about Donghae, the younger sibling he loved more than his life,

I myself can't help but be afraid that it might be thinking shallowly. Until two years ago, Kibum and Hyukjae hyung met again. When I saw these two people looking into each other's eyes, I knew that both of them loved each other and had good feelings for each other. They might even have agreed to be together. If it weren't for the fact that that day Kibum's house held a party to welcome the members of the house.

Kibum's father brings a new woman into the house along with their child, who is even older than both Donghae and Kibum. But everything wouldn't be shocking if people That's not.....Hyukjae's brother.

Kibum's father admitted to his own children that day that before he married Kibum and Donghae's mother, I already have a lover. and the two had children together But because it was prevented, the two could not get married. But Kibum's father has always paid for and raised Hyukjae.

I myself, being an outsider at that time, did not know what mood each person was in at that time. Because at that time, I chose to comfort Donghae, who couldn't accept the reality of his own family's sudden change. Later I found out that Kibum had moved out of the house and lived in his own condo.

He brought Donghae to live with him. without returning to that house again It took almost a full year. In giving the two brothers gradually Accept what happened After much persuasion and Kibum himself, he could see that his new stepmother was a good person who could be trusted. Kibum then allows Donghae to come back and stay at his father's house again.

For convenience in traveling to study at the final year of university. But Kibum himself never went back there unless it was necessary. Kyuhyun knew all that Kibum had done.

........Just because I don't want to face Hyukjae in pain again....

“I can accept it now, you don't have to worry about me. But I'm doing this. Because even though I already know that he is my older brother But every time I see his face I can't help but wonder if he's not another one of my father's children. Today, he and I....will probably be able to hold hands, hug, kiss, or get married just like you and Donghae were.”

“....Kibum...you...”

“I'm not jealous of you, Kyu. You don't have to look stressed like that. Let me know because I can see you and Donghae being happy together. Even today, I can still smile and be strong. Without you and Donghae, I don't know what my day would be like....so enjoy your happiness to the fullest. Makes me smile a lot more now.”

Hearing this, Kibum walked over and grabbed Kyuhyun's shoulder while smiling, confirming his own words. before sitting down and drinking beer next to without saying anything else

Until this moment, I cannot tell you why our lives are destined to be different. Some people are born to experience happiness. But some people experience only sadness their whole life. But for myself I thank you for everything that has made me where I am today. Made me have someone I love.

Let me protect and take care of him. I promise that I won't disappoint whoever brought me and Donghae together. I will make Donghae happy. There will never be a day that I will make this person cry or cry for anything I have done.

.........I promise..........
