Ch-17

Jimin's POV

'What were you expecting of your mate?'.

This one question froze every single thought going inside of my mind.

My expectations?!

I myself didn't know what to expect from my mate, when I had clearly given up on the idea of having a mate due to the past horrific relation.

But Mia seems to be so different, so kind, so understanding, so different from Chaemin.

Chaemin my ex girlfriend or you could say my ex mate which I thought her to be. But I was wrong, so so wrong that she ruined my life in ways I cannot express.

Chaemin was the darkness of my life, the bad phase but Mia is the light to my darkness, they all were right she is the cure to all of my problems.

But am I the same to her?

How will she react to my past sins?

How will she react to me being in a relationship even before meeting my mate?

Will she hate me?

Will she leave me?

Keeping these worries inside my head I told my curious mate.

"I was expecting you". I caressed her cheeks lovingly.

"What do you mean?". She asked in a cute confused voice.

I couldn't help but chuckle.

"I was expecting a person exactly like you Mia. You are perfect, just unimaginably perfect".

Her cheeks turned into a shade of crimson upon hearing my words.

Its unbelievable how much I have come to adore this one person whom I met not too long ago. But well this is what they call the mate bond, its unexplainable, I want to be with her all the time, hug her, cuddle her, praise her, love her and kiss her.

Speaking of kiss. We haven't had our first kiss. Both coming to the conclusion that every moment that we create should be special and must become a fond memory for the future.

"You know..". Her voice broke my chain of thoughts.

I hummed.

"I really like this. Us cuddling together, you holding me so tight, it all feels just right. Can anyone like someone so soon?".

"What do you think? I think thats why we are soulmates, everything feels right from the beginning".

"You are right, its just..". She trailed off and I could see her face clouding with a sad expression.

I tightened my hold onto her, telling her that its okay.

"You can tell me". I spoke softly.

"My parents they....they never shared anything special like this and eventually they don't happen to be mates". She stopped and took a deep breath.

"But they had their own mates before they met each other. My dad told me that he met his mate at a very young age but she had some severe disease and she died which made my dad believe that all of this soulmate thing is just some stupid crap. He thinks that if we are destined to someone then we should also die together, but his experience just ruined his belief..". She sighed heavily.

"W-what about your mother?". I asked with a little hesitance.

Hearing these things makes me realize that its not only me who's gone through so much but every person has their own sufferings, everyone  has their own struggles and everyone has their own story.

"My mother...haha...". She laughed sarcastically.

"S-she's a BITCH!!". She exclaimed.

Her voice was laced with a sense of hatred. Wow!

Someone could hate their mothers too!

"S-she's a whore, a slut, a total MANIAC!!". She shouted and her eyes welled up with tears.

I patted her head in a way to comfort her, combing her soft hair with my fingers. She hid her face in the crook of my neck and I could feel her silently crying. I ran my hand on her back, squeezing her close into my embrace, just anything which could calm her.

She seems so strong, so composed in herself but well everyone has their own breaking points.

After a few minutes she started speaking again.

"She used to suffer through a mental problem before meeting my pa, which is the reason why she used to sleep around with random guys all the time and also the reason why her mate left. As both my parents didn't have any belief with the mate thing so they got married. And thats why they don't have any special feelings for each other and also why my mom still sleeps around. I think they just got married for the label that they are married".

"They didn't even want me to find my mate and just get married to some rich guy so that they can get rid of me. They have never supported my passion, my work. Just wanted me to get married as soon as possible and get the heck out of their lives and they still do. As if-". She choked on her own sobs which were getting louder and louder by each passing word.

"Shhh...its okay. You are okay".

"As if I am nothing but just a burden to them". Her tears wetting my T-shirt.

I let her sob on my shoulder. Let her take all the things out. To relieve herself. I cannot imagine the type of parents she had but they definitely are not one of the best as I can feel.

We stayed like that for sometime. It was a pin drop silence and I had thought that she had fallen asleep until she spoke.

"Jimin...I hate people who just get into a relationship before meeting their mate. I despise them". She spoke in a hushed tone and drifted into her dreamland.

I froze.

Those words stirred something inside of me.

Throwing the negative thought at the back of my mind, I tried to focus on the positive thoughts.

Thanking destiny, for not letting her parents to get her married before our meeting.

For making her so kind and understanding.

For destining her to me.

For letting her to be my mate.

She is a pure blessing to me.

My Mia. My light. My blessing.
