Heartless [Completed]

|Ten|

Jangmi looked at her mirror reflection. She looked gorgeous, no doubt. The maids did a wonderful job on her make up. She was just starring into the mirror. Her eyes rather blank. I'm the mate of Jeon Jungkook. She thought to herself, her heart constricting in the process, yet ironically, that thought brought butterflies into her stomach.

That thought itself was enough to bring Jangmi to tears. Her eyes watered and she let out a deep breath to calm herself down but it wasn't working. Finally, after more than half an hour of just sitting there and starring into her reflection, she decided to get up and take off her dress and makeup. The ball was long over. After changing into a pair of shorts and oversized hoodie to go to sleep with, she proceeded with removing her makeup.

Her thought unconsciously drove off to Jungkook again. It was funny how this situation turned out to be. Just a month ago, she was a normal girl, going to a normal school. The next, she was sucked into a world of vampire and then it was revealed that she was the mate of a vampire king. Jangmi let out a dry chuckle in spite of herself, as tears started building up in her eyes again. She was rejected. She was starting to piece the puzzles together. The ball, all the flirting that he did in front of her. It was to tell her that despite them being mates, he would never accept her.

Why did he forbade her from leaving the castle if he didn't want to mate with her? Just because she was human. Did he not think about the growing feelings that she had for him, or he did but he was just too selfish because he didn't want her to run off with some other man? Jangmi messed her hair in frustration and went to take a lukewarm bath to calm her mind down. Her mind was so messed up with the sudden revelation.

She closed her eyes as she went deeper into the lukewarm water, leaving only her eyes and nose on the surface. His face kept appearing in her mind. She went deeper into the water unknowingly, and her whole face was under. She was trying her best to keep her mind off Jungkook and her aching heart. Before she knew it, she was running out of oxygen in her lungs and she opened her mouth instinctively but that just led to the amount of oxygen that she was left with to escape into the water in a form of bubbles.

Her lungs were starting to hurt as she heard the faint knocking of the door, and a muffled voice. Water was entering her nose and mouth, filling the lungs with water. She could vaguely hear the faint beating of her heart, and her eyelids were becoming too heavy to carry so she just let them fall.

"Jangmi-ah!" She heard a faint voice shouted as she lost consciousness.

Jin had seen Jungkook left the castle through the window of his room. He heard a knock and told the person outside the door to come in. "So... I've told Jangmi." Xiumin started after closing the door behind him and Jin turned to look at him. Jin gave him an appreciative smile and nodded.

"Why didn't you tell her yourself anyway?" Xiumin asked, leaning again the door with his arms folded across his chest. He was wearing a frown on his face. He disliked being asked for favors but he made an exception for Jin since he felt pity for him. And the most important thing was that he didn't want Jungkook to feel the pain of losing a mate, just like Jin did.

"Maybe because there would be zero chances of you getting killed by Jungkook. He might be king but he knows not to mess with the first breeds." Jin said and Xiumin just chuckled in amusement. True. No matter how strong their friendship was, there was still a chance of Jungkook killing Jin. But for Xiumin, he was strong enough to hold Jungkook off, since technically, Xiumin and his clan of vampires were of a higher rank compared to Jungkook. They were so much more experienced and stronger than Jungkook, and he knew that.

"Right. You should check on Jangmi though. She must be having a mental breakdown right now." Xiumin said, his voice turned serious. Jin sighed and nodded.
