@JennieKim460 In vampirism, fate mates exist too: Tae, the monk Jungkook truly loved, sacrificed himself across lifetimes to remain with him, yet Jungkook’s destined mate was Lucien, to whom he never gave his heart; “the one I left you for” is a statement belonged to the moment Jungkook learned Tae was not his fated match and walked away, though his heart never followed, for it had always belonged to the monk—until at last Jungkook fed from him, and Tae surrendered his life to the flames, his final sacrifice born of a devotion whose only meaning was to be Jungkook’s.
