Jungkook, Jimin and Nam Joon burst inside the control room of the ship like policemen and saw Fairy Ella increasing the heat of the red laser. She got startled to see them as she widened her eyes and pointed her finger at them, "H-how did you--"

"Easy peasy lemon squeezy..." Jungkook grinned mischievously before shooting her with an Ice Shooter.

She was frozen in an ice cube helplessly.

Jimin ran over to the huge desk that had countless buttons, controllers, stuff. He scanned everything in a mere second and figured out the right button to press. He pushed the large green button and immediately the laser was stopped striking as it disappeared. At least, the universe was safe as of now.

The fairy tried to wiggle out of her vulnerability but failed to do so.

Jungkook was a man of action so he was about to knock her out from life but the elder one grabbed his arm to stop.

The younger was confused yet he stopped himself, unable to control his anger towards the betrayer.

Nam Joon met the fairy's eyes, looking serious as he asked calm but coldly, "Why did you do it, Fairy Ella?"

Deep inside, he still had a hope if she was being forced to do everything.

But when the fairy replied hurtful words, he couldn't stop digesting her.

"You guys never knew but I was the fairy of Guardian Hong Jong Hyun (Ozul Vex). He was always my master from the start. And I ain't doing anything without him." she literally spat.

Jimin was raged at her words, "But what about Guardian Yoon Min? She was nice to you! She treated you her own!"

The mention of her name seemed to do something to Ella as she suddenly lost all nerve to argue. She gulped down painfully slow.

"I'm surprised by your acting, Fairy Ella. How you fooled every one of us when we were all treating you fairly and good."

Nam Joon shook his head in disappointment and said, "So you know Fairy Ella...that you are wrong. And we are sorry but we cannot accept you as our resident anymore."

With that, he gave a nod to Jungkook as the younger wasted no time but to bring out a sword and without any regrets or hesitation, struck it through her small body; and she immediately lost her life for the final time.

The three senior guardians raced through the white corridors in search of the fearless demon's body in sleep. As they had in their minds that he won't be easy to find. But they didn't give up or waste time as they searched carefully in every place.

The attic wasn't in their guess but they wanted to check it too.

As they climbed up, the door was surprisingly locked; but it cleared their thoughts that the demon was indeed inside. With a few tries, they unlocked the door as they were specially trained during their time in the universe.

Opening the door, they came across a bed on which, Ozul Vex was sound asleep. The sight of him boiled their veins but they maintained themselves.

Jungkook lowly whispered to the others, "What should we do?"

"We need to wake him up." Jimin answered.

"But with what? And how?"

Nam Joon gave eternal peace to their restless minds as he took out a sword and showed it to them, "The princess said no weapons can kill guardians or demons. But they can harm us. We'll try to hurt him and make him bleed."

Jungkook's face brightened up with a happy grin while Jimin asked a stupid question, "Wait, what's the color of his blood?"

The other stared at him for some seconds before ignoring him.

"What we are gonna do is, one of us is gonna go back and stand at the gateway. While the other two will attack him now and lock him inside. Hopefully, it will save us some time untill the others get here." Nam Joon portrayed the plan well.

"Jungkook, you can run fast. Go and bring the others."

He nodded and took leave right away.

"Um...Nam Joon Hyung?" Jimin called him. "Can I attack that demon? I'm kinda scared if you drop the sword and make noise." he scratched his neck.

The elder exclaimed in surprise and nodded immediately. Sure, he could break it too. Accidentally.

He gave the weapon to Jimin and waited at the door. Jimin gulped down in fear before praying a few times as he started walking towards the bed. The floor did creak a little but he tried his best to put his foot lightly everywhere. He was standing beside the bed of Ozul Vex who was currently sleeping peacefully. How could he even sleep?!

Jimin looked back at Nam Joon for a second before positioning the sword. Three strikes hit the demon's body as he woke up with a bloodcurdling scream. The senior guardian dropped the weapon in fright before he ran as fast as he could back to the door. Within a second, they both shut the door of the attic, though the ear-piercing scream of the demon was still audible.

------------

When Seokjin agreed with his plan, Aereum yelled a loud No while the others in the spaceships were breaking out in desperate cries.

Ozul Vex smirked a perverted smirk in satisfaction as he wasted no time in raising his arm to suck the power out the guardian's body.

But before it could happen, all of a sudden, he disappeared from everyone's sight.

Aereum was free abruptly as she let out a scream, not unable to float in the space all on a sudden. Seokjin widened his eyes and drove his ship quickly to her side and pulled her inside his ship. While Hoseok, Taehyung, Yoongi and the other guardians were all in bewilderment for what happened.

"Princess, you okay?" Seokjin asked, holding her shoulders.

Aereum glanced around and slowly muttered, "Oh my God, they did it."

It didn't take him long to understand what she meant as he released her and a grin appeared on his face. Without wasting time, Seokjin drove his ship towards the entry of the large spaceship while informing the others of what happened.

Jungkook led them back to the attic as planned. When all of them arrived at the spot, Nam Joon broke out in fear first,

"He's banging on the door!"

"The door's gonna break soon!" Jimin added as both the senior guardians got away from the door.

The door of the attic was being banged horribly as if a beast was trying to come out of it. Aereum stood before the door fearlessly in silence.

Seokjin walked to her swiftly and asked, "Do you have any plan?"

She looked at him and showed a proud smile, "Sure, I have." and she clicked her fingers; the magical wand was in her hand out of nowhere. "When he comes out, you keep attacking him with a sword. He won't be able to do anything since he is unguarded. Keep doing it till he falls down and leave the rest to me."

The senior guardian nodded vigorously as he held a sword in his hands tightly and prepared to attack the demon.

The door was pushed open within a minute and Seokjin wasted no second before striking an attack on Ozul Vex. The demon was indeed unaware of their plans as he stepped back. Seokjin grunted before pushing himself inside and kept on attacking the demon with every strength inside him mercilessly. The other guardians were cheering for him in encouragement as if every attack on the demon served to their justices.

At one point, the demon lost balance and dropped on his knees helplessly. Seokjin wanted to keep hitting him in rage but Hoseok managed to hold him back.

Now, Princess Aereum made her way inside the attic and stood in front of the demon with the wand. Ozul Vex saw her prepared with the weapon so he growled like an animal and threw his powers at her. But she was quick enough to launch her wand at him and wipe out everything. The demon soon realized his efforts would do nothing.

Everyone had a victorious smirk on their faces as they stared at the happy ending in front of them.

Aereum chuckled before saying, "Thus the end of Ozul Vex, the vicious demon."

The demon still made unrecognizable noises but he didn't try to attack.

"You know what, Jong Hyun?"

She called him by his real name which made his red, disgusting eyes look at her.

"You never loved me. You said I didn't love you enough but I knew how much I loved you." her serious voice attracted everyone's attention. "But you were the one obsessed to be a human again, and your love for me was all nothing."

Aereum positioned the wand right at his head before breaking out in a smirk, "So Long, Ozul Vex~"

And with a spell, the magical wand created the strongest power with the help of every element in space and pierced through the demon's body and in a few minutes, he was finally wiped out and turned into black ashes.

-------------

The doorknob clicked, making everyone shifting their eyes towards the door. Sung Rin slowly walked to the door and opened it slightly. Her eyes were widened in surprise, finding the man in front of her was no other than Seokjin.

"Seonbae?" she called out in amaze of having his presence.

The people in the room all looked at him and each of them called out his name in wonderful delight. Surely they were glad to see him, unharmed and safe.

"Come in." she kept the door open for him to enter.

As she made way for him to walk inside, he saw a clear view of the whole room and its surrounding. Koushi was standing by the edge of the bed in a worried state. Yian and Myeong Jo were busy in discussing about something. Beomgyu was seen sitting beside the window, looking outside through the window. It was obvious he wasn't glad to see the senior guardian. And there she was, the center of everyone's attention, laying on the bed unconscious.

Within a glimpse of her body, his blood ran cold, seeing the girl in a helpless situation where she was fighting between life and death. His eyes softened and his lips slightly parted away, unable to detach his gaze away from her.

Seokjin walked further in the room, followed by Yoongi and Hoseok whose eyes curiously searched the lost guardian, and seeing her vulnerable state, their faces blackened in fear.

He stood beside the other side of the bed, eyes scanning her body from head to toe repeatedly. Yoon Min's eyes were shut, her skin was bluish white, her chest in a still status. She looked so fragile, lifeless that scared his soul to even think if she was alive.

Beomgyu remained his strong gaze locked with the senior guardian, watching his every expression and move. Even though he hated himself for believing it, he couldn't help but to hope the senior guardian could do something to bring her back from the clutches of death. Everyone here seemed to lose hope and grew tired for waiting beside her side for days.

Koushi slowly informed her senior, "She's unconscious for three days. We tried everything but her skin is still cold and she wouldn't even breathe. I-I don't know what to do." her voice cracked with tight lumps of concern in her throat.

Taehyung, Jungkook and Nam Joon already entered inside the room and also were taken aback by everyone's same mask of fear, anxiety and destroyed hopes. Their presences made the girls question about what happened with the demon and stuff. They engaged themselves in explaining how they killed the demon for good, and the universe was safe and out of threat for eternity. The girls finally released a sigh of relief as finally they heard a good news.

While they were busy with themselves, Seokjin sat beside her and stared at her pale face immensely. A thousand emotions overflowed through his veins, trapping and suffocating him harshly in undeniable pain. He was close to breaking like a thin stick but he was still fortunately firm and unmoved.

With his pupils shivering, he slowly placed his hand over one of hers and got startled to feel the frosty contact, but he still could feel the same fluttering feelings and warm sensation he always had for her. Seokjin bit on his lower lip as every horrifying thought of her suffering flashed in his mind. His chest started to feel heavier with aching urge to break into tears. His eyes were welling up in sorrowful tears, but he still was determined not to sob like a weak guy.

But what if he loses her again? What if everything he dreamt of doing with her crashes down like broken pieces of glass? What if she was already dead in front of them?

Unable to hold himself or act strong anymore, Seokjin suddenly let out a muffled sob and pulled her upper body in a sitting position to engulf her in a heartbreaking hug.

Others in the room glanced at them and couldn't help but to pity at his vulnerable longing. They never saw Seokjin crying in front of them. He was always that strong, confident, happy, charming guardian. But right now, his desperate yearning for her and tight embrace around her just broke their dead hearts unknowingly.

"Please..." his voice was soaked in uncontrollable tears.

Beomgyu stared at him crying his heart out for the girl he liked deeply. Before he would scoff or feel jealousy, but he didn't know why he was feeling nothing right now. In fact, a part of him wanted the girl to wake up in Seokjin's arms right now and stop his painful sobs.

Seokjin held onto the last light of hope in his dead heart that she was alright. Maybe she was just mad at him and held a grudge. Maybe she needed to hear a few sweet words to calm down. Maybe if he kept saying how much he needed her in this life after death, she'll choose to return to him. She just can't go away yet...

"Don't do this to me..." he tightened the hug and burried his face on her shoulder. "I-I need you so much..."

There was no improvements or any sign of her returning. When everyone had given up on her, he was still praying to dear Almighty and begging her soul mentally to come back again.

Seokjin continued to sob against her cold body as his tears rolled down like hurting waterfalls.

"Please please I beg you...please don't leave like this..."

Beomgyu's eyes were blurry for a second and he wiped away his eyes quickly. Ain't no way he's feeling pity for that guy.

The girls already shed a few tears on their own, thinking how will they console their senior that she was gone forever and his pleads will not bring her back. She was frozen to death.

Seokjin never stopped crying even after the others tried taking him away from her. He was determined to bring her back by his hug, his words and his true feelings for her. All he knew he couldn’t let her go even if fate had already chosen hers. He will never forgive himself if he gives up on her.

His one hand caressed the back of head as he felt his throat tightening with lumps and his voice fading away in agony. As a result, his voice came out nothing but tender whisper,

"I've so many things to tell you..."

"I-I cannot lose y-you..."

“Please come back to me...”

The room only seemed to acknowledge his sound of his whispers and aching cries just how a funeral only acknowledges the beloved tears of the livings.

When you see someone's death in an unexpected time, it takes you a whole moment to believe if everything happening around you is a nightmare or not. You see the others giving up hope, bursting into painful cries, losing consciousness and a beloved person erasing from their lives. Can you choose to believe in yourself and still fight for him/her to live?

Seok Jin was the living example of it.

At one point, his arms around her back no longer felt cold as his skin sensed something warm and humanly. The freezing skin of her neck where his face was buried with his teardrops was warming on its own.

He pulled away his head and glanced at her face with furrowed eyebrows.

Myeong Jo was the one who first noticed his behavior, "What?"

He gave her a short look before looking back again, "She's warming on her own."

Beomgyu stood up from his seat and walked to the bed in a hurry. As much as he wanted to push away their too-close bodies, he wanted to see if he was stating the truth or not. Placing a hand on her forehead, he took some seconds before looking at the others, "It's t-true."

The others shared glances with each others and talked about the possibilities and chances behind the sudden reaction.

While holding her body closer to his, Seokjin suddenly felt her chest moving up and down and soft breathes came out from her nose. Surprised him didn't get the chance to sniffle and wipe his miserable face as by the time he could do it, he would miss her beautiful eyes opening by herself.

And she did.

Yoon Min breathed slowly and opened her eyes ever so softly; the sparkles of her eyes yet alive.

"OH MY GOD!" Taehyung shrieked out in excitement as he noticed her face the first after Seokjin, followed by the others.

Everyone did the same reaction. At first, they gasped, held their breathes, released a few exclaiming words and moved closer to the bed to have a closer look at her.

Beomgyu was the only one in the room who walked away from them in happy tears and stood in the corner, trying to calm himself.

And the only one who didn't smile till now was Seokjin who hadn't still believed the amazing perfection inside his embrace, staring back at him with countless shy blinks. With a careful move, he managed to ask her,

"Y-Yoon Min...remember me?"

There could be a chance she lost her memories or had trouble recognizing everyone since it's nothing but a miracle she's alive, safe and sound.

She gave a slow nod and that nod of hers made the whole room break into delightful cheers and prideful tears. Everyone, especially the senior guardians were screaming so happily like crowds in a football match to see their junior guardian defeating death and welcoming dear life again.

Seokjin finally smiled the widest, eventually his eyes dropped more tears, this time they were of happiness. His chest relieved severe suffocation and air of grief as he found himself dancing on nine clouds. Just having her flushed face this close to him was enough to end all his heartbreaking chapters. She came back to him.

"Song Yoon Min, You Despicable Girl! You Have No Idea How Much You Made Us Worry For You!" Sung Rin gritted her teeth but couldn't stop the tears from falling.

“I'm so happy you made it, my girl.” This came from Yian who was holding a tissue on her face and sobbing.

Their cute scoldings filled with honest love and care made Yoon Min glance at them and mentally giggle for having such precious friends. Finding the senior guardians also in the room made her feel their sincere affection provable to her. Seeing her best friend Beom facing the corner and sobbing like a proud father made her wonder how much did he care for her to the length he's still crying. And not at least, being in the most comfortable and warm embrace of him just relaxed her body under his loving touch. But no matter how hard she tried, the smile for him never appeared.

Jungkook was the first one to start the teases, "Okay, so it's final. I'm shipping these two."

Seokjin glanced at the younger and with his honey-like voice, he yelled at him, "Shut up, Jungkook."

"No, seriously, I think you should kiss her, Hyung." Without looking, he could guess the comment was from Nam Joon's perverted mind.

Hoseok with the brightest smile here joined, "Guys, I bet on my sprite that something was going on between them from the start.

By the endless teases and pesterings, Seokjin's ears began to turn red and he could feel it. Before anything could happen, Yoongi shook his head and wiped a fake tear from his eyes, "Well...for certainly, we'll be having a new couple around us soon."

His comment encouraged the other guys to keep continuing, imagining romantic ideas and movie inspired ideas of their own belief in the centers of the room.

But fortunately, all were interrupted by the late senior guardian Jimin who finally stepped inside the room and dramatically wailed, "Myeong Jo-ah! I saved the universe!"

The mentioned girl was surprised by his sudden appearance and brave act, she couldn't help but to smile a little at him awkwardly. Which made the guys change their main focus from shipping the current two people to Jimin and Myeong Jo. Seokjin's never been this much grateful to Jimin. At least he saved him and Yoon Min from the laughter of embarrassment.

.
Now he changed his focus on the girl inside his arms who was still flushed like a red tomato. Giggling at her cute features, he pulled her head to rest on his chest and wrap his arms around her again. Resting his chin over the top of her head, he breathed calmly and took the unforgettable scent of hers as it took away all his worries and concern away from his mind. He couldn't be thankful enough to Almighty for returning her safely to him.

But there was this one thing he was being bothered now, but he wanted to think it was a trivial matter.

Yoon Min never hugged him back.

------------

Hey people, it's me! 😃

Finally, the Ozul Vex thing has come to an end! I want to apologize for the action scenes and plans because I totally suck at thinking. Hope your kindness will spare me!

Aaaaaannnd, about Ella...well I'm sorry too for the twist. I created her character for this specific role so there was no way for me to change her sides even though I liked her. There were a few readers who actually suspected her. Boy, am I not amazed by your intelligence?😂

A very big drama coming in the next chapter though I doubt you'll find it surprising cuz you guys are so clever and catch things too fast. Anyways, just a warning beforehand.

Bye now. Take care of yourselves and pray to our Almighty to keep us safe and sound.
