Luminous Kingdom | Jikook |

•Chapter 42• (Finale)

Even if no one talked to him, he was fine. Even if no one acknowledged his existence, he was fine. Even if the depths of the evil world tried to kill him, he was fine. Even if his most important characteristic disappeared, he was fine. Even if he was all alone in a room, he was fine. Fine because he knew in his heart he had a connection with Jungkook, his mate. However now, he has to say farewell to that, suffering a heartache alone is better than two suffering because of it. Even if he has to let go of his extreme, insane, and absolute love for Jungkook to keep him safe and spare him the suffer, taking it all himself, then he was fine doing that.

The deal was done, Jin was out of the cell. All alone, for the last time with Jungkook in his heart.

Jungkook? Even if you can't hear me, your heart will still listen to me. You were the only good- no, great thing that happened in my life. Not even an A can top you.

He chuckled to himself, but even that didn't stop the burning feeling of his heart, and the waterfall from his eyes.

I was a broken doll before, I had no faith in anything, I was miserable, broken-hearted, pathetic, sad, gloomy, and disconnected from this harsh, rough world. But isn't it amazing that when I met you, these all disappeared? Out of my body, my heart, and my mind. You brought me all that, and on top of it, you gave me love. I'm so thankful.

Leaning his head on the wall, the pain he was feeling in his heart was indescribable.

I'm so thankful that the only thing I can give you back is safety, you don't deserve to suffer. As a half human, half fae, prince, your mate, and Park Jimin-

Cupping his chest quickly, he felt extreme pain since he started the cancellation of their special bond. He breathed in and made himself think that suffering this pain is so much bearable then making and knowing that Jungkook will suffer. He resumed.

As a half human, half fae, prince, your mate, and Park Jimin, I declare that our bond is broken, and I forever pledge in our hearts to still be yours.

The prince curled up on the prison floor, his stomach felt like it was burning, his chest had mostly all the pain since he can feel the tattoo getting ripped apart from his skin with no empathy whatsoever. Sweat dripping down his face and his back, hands fisted and head on the floor restless, he slept.

.~.

It's been days, he was left on the prison floor. He just needed to wait for Nolland to come down, and to order him to do something. To his surprise, a servant was the one that came to fetch the prince, opening the door with her keys. "I've been told to dress you properly." She said.

Jimin rose up and walked with her, not curious why, not interested at all. He followed her back to the castle, and to his room. Preparing the fancy clothes he is going to wear while he showered, it's been days.

After he was dressed, he decided to walk around the castle. While doing that, he heard murmurs behind a closed door. With easily hearing things, he listened closely.

"Please, you can't keep doing this to him!"

Jimin walked closely to the door, knowing who it was immediately, his friend, his knight, Haven.

"You are delusional if you think I'll let him go! He is worth a lot and I have to use him before anyone else does. Now go."

Hearing Haven's voice again, "Nol, listen to me. You can't think of him as an object-"

"End of conversation or your wings will be cut off."

A shiver ran through Jimin's back. He gasped when he saw Haven appear in front of him. The knight's eyes widened, taking his hand and summoning them in his room. "What are you doing roaming around! Do you want him to put you back in prison!" He scolded him.
