NOT MATED || JEON JUNGKOOK

GOODBYE MY LOVE (1)

Don't hate me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

SAERON'S POV

I zipped up my dress while biting my lower lip. I couldn't stop thinking about what happened earlier.

Jungkook...cried. He actually cried. I've never seen him in such a state before. It hurt. It pained me to see him like that. It broke my heart.

But he wouldn't tell me why. He just held me, so closely to him like he was afraid that I would disappear if he let me go. But I'd never leave him. I love him.

I walked out of his room and made my way to the kitchen. And that's when I heard them speaking.

"What are you going to do Jungkook?" Jin asked.

"I don't know." he grumbled.

"You going to meet your mate tonight." Yoongi said and I swore I heard my heart crack.

His mate? His real mate? The one he is destined to be with forever?

"You have to break up with Saeron Jungkook. You can't reject your mate."

"I know okay?! It's just...its not that easy. I love her." Jungkook said.

"I know Jungkook but you have to. You have to let her go."

I walked away letting my tears roll freely. I couldn't. I couldn't remain there anymore. I couldn't believe it. It was true. He was going to leave me.

"Don't give up Saeron. Don't give up yet." a voice boomed from inside me.

"Violet? Is that you?"

"Yes. It is."

"I can't. It hurts too much." I cried out.

"I know but don't leave yet. Yes. He's going to meet his mate tonight. But don't leave yet. Show him how much you love him. Express all your deepest feelings for him. If you give up now, you're going to regret it."

"How can you say this? He's not even your mate."

"But I love him. Just like you do. He is our first love. Our only love. So I won't let you give him up so easily. I won't let you Saeron."

"I love him so much." I cried out, clutching my chest. It hurt so much.

I felt arms wrap around my frail body and looked up to see that it was Jimin.

"I'm so sorry." he whispered, rubbing my head soothingly.

"It hurts so much Jimin. Take it away. Just take it all away." I cried into his chest.

"I can't. I'm sorry." he said and embraced me tighter.

JUNGKOOK'S POV

I paced in my father's office. The party had started almost an hour ago but I couldn't bring myself to join. I was too afraid.

Too afraid that one of those girls out there was my mate. My true mate. I should be rejoicing but I can't help but feel like crawling into a little hole and only coming out when the party is over.

The door opened and Yoongi hyung walked in.

"Here you are! Everyone is waiting for you. I mean, what's a birthday party without the birthday boy?"

"I can't hyung."

"What are you -" he stopped talking once he realized what I was referring to.

"But you have to Jungkook. If you miss this chance to meet your mate, you'll regret it. I know what you're feeling. But, you may love Saeron now but that's not to say you'll love her forever. You'll crave your true mate. She's not that person to you. I'm sorry but you'll get over it. Now come on. Your father is getting impatient. "

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I had to do this.

I followed Yoongi out to the party room and was immediately overwhelmed by the amount of people there. Well of course. The Jeon heir and next alpha of the pack is turning eighteen, the age where he would meet his mate.

I saw my dad and walked to him.

"Finally. Where have you been?" he hissed.

"Sorry. Where is Saeron?" I asked and scanned the crowd for her presence.

"Jungkook, for what are you looking for that girl for? Tonight you shall meet your mate. Focus on that instead of looking for that divine child." he snapped and I felt a pang to my heart.

Why was my father acting this way toward her all of a sudden? I know he's never favoured her, but he never acted like he hated her. So, why was he now?

But all my thoughts disappeared once I got whiff of a certain smell. A heavenly smell. It was a mix of strawberries and vanilla. It was the most amazing scent I have ever encountered.

I followed the smell and it led me to my room. My room was empty and that's when I saw a little note on my bed.

I picked it up and noticed that it carried the same scent as the one I smelt. I opened it and read it.

Dear Jungkook,

If you are reading this, it means that I am already gone. I am sorry Jungkook but I cannot do this anymore.

I can't pretend everything is okay when it's not. I can't pretend it's not hurting me anymore because it does.

I can't be with you anymore. It hurts too much now.

Tonight you will find your mate and where will that leave me? I will be left on my own. So I've decided to leave you before you leave me. It's only fair.

These past months with you have been the best of my life. I love falling asleep next to you and waking up next to you.

But I can't anymore. That place is now meant and reserved for someone else. And as much as it breaks my heart to say it, you will forget about me.

You will fall out of love with me and fall in love with your mate. It will be like I never existed in your life.

I love you.

Goodbye my love.

Saeron❤️

I dropped the note onto the ground. I looked through the window. Her smell was still present in the room which meant that she didn't leave too long ago.

It was her. It was her all along. She was always mine to begin with. I just didn't know because we thought she was human and because I wasn't of age yet.

But now I know. And it's too late.

I felt tears start to stream down my face.

She's gone.
