my departing beloved (show me your back more slowly)

Description

The ties that bind them warp and twist until their fate is always this:

 

Joohyun always remembers Seulgi. But Seulgi always forgets Joohyun.

Foreword

Many thanks to holcene for encouraging this monster into existence. Also thank you to my dear friend sophs for so kindly reading this whole thing in its entirety before I posted and giving me such positive feedback. You can thank these two wonderful individuals for this thing getting put out so quickly.

Quick note, historically Seulgi and Joohyun are not names that would have been used commonly during the time period of their first life. However, for the sake of the readers who could potentially be confused by the usage of pre-AD Korean names with the same first letter, I hope you understand why I chose to keep the same names uniform throughout.

Chapter 1: Oh why do i do this to myself. I had to have a smoke after i read this last time. 😆. It’s just so well written that i can feel it. Duty or love? And Red Velvet said “porque no los dos?”

Chapter 1: Damn, this is awesome. It is very painful when we recall the memories of thousands of years ago but do not get happy results. If I were in Joohyun's position, I would be desperate and choose to move on. But, it turns out that her love is eternal with her patience through thousands of years, she still loves Seulgi. Thanks for amazing story author👍

This story deserves more upvotes and needs to be featured. For every timeline, it's amazing how you were able to create the subplots for each of their meetings. I first read this in AO3 but I was not able to leave a comment, but this is one of the best fanfics I've ever read. It's very well written, engaging and most of all heartbreaking but very satisfying.
