At 14, Juvia falls for her brother’s best friend—Ha-jun, the cold and stunning senior who barely looks her way. But love isn’t something she can switch off. Especially not when fate has already marked them.

Years later, Juvia is no longer the quiet, love-struck girl hiding behind a diary. She’s grown into a fierce beauty, still carrying a flame that refuses to die. But something in Ha-jun begins to stir too. Memories. Nightmares. Déjà vu.

As shadowy figures from a past life begin hunting them, Ha-jun and Juvia are pulled into a centuries-old war between bloodlines, betrayal, and destiny. He’s a reincarnated soul with a fractured past. She’s the only one who can awaken the truth. But what if love itself is the curse?

In a world where time bends and hearts break, their love might be their greatest weapon… or their undoing.

The light from the temple gate bathed Juvia and Ha-jun in a blinding glow before fading to reveal a new world—one layered with mist and whispers. The Valley of Echoes stretched endlessly before them, filled with ghostly shapes and the echoes of past choices.


Juvia shivered but held Ha-jun's hand tightly. "Where are we now?"


Ha-jun's gaze was sharp. "This is the place where memories live—and sometimes, where regrets die."


A soft voice called out from the fog. "Juvia."


She turned to see Rian stepping forward, no longer the distant enemy but a man worn by loss and longing.


"I've followed you here," he said, his eyes reflecting the pain she'd glimpsed before. "Not to fight, but to make amends."


Juvia's heart fluttered, confusion swirling with old feelings. "Why now?"


"Because I remember what we were," Rian replied. "And what we could still be."


Ha-jun's grip tightened on her hand. "Don't listen to him."


But Juvia shook her head. "I have to hear him out."


Rian stepped closer, lowering his voice. "I know I made mistakes, but I never stopped loving you. The past doesn't have to define us."


Juvia looked between Ha-jun and Rian—the two halves of her heart, torn between loyalty and the pull of forgotten dreams.


"I need to choose my own path," she said softly. "Not one written by fate or fear."


Ha-jun nodded, respect and hope shining in his eyes.


Rian smiled sadly. "Then walk your path—with or without me."


The mist began to clear, revealing three paths diverging ahead—each shimmering under the moon's soft light.
