Ella flew through the holes, inside the grand library. She was looking here and there to find her guardian. Finally, at the last row, she found her reading a book standing.

"Miss, there's something for you."

Yoon Min moved her gaze from the book to her. She saw her fairy holding a card in her hands. She took it and flipped it around to check what it was.

"What's this, Ella?"

"A meeting is arranged in the evening. All guardians, fairies, even staffs and employees must attend it." she informed her.

Yoon Min began reading the inner part of the card. There wasn't any useful information but it said to join the important meeting as a must. She wondered why.

"Any ideas why we should attend it?" she asked Ella.

Ella looked around and went closer to her face. She whispered, "I think it's about Ozul Vex."

Ozul Vex?

She curiously asked, "Who's Ozul Vex?"

Ella was taken aback for a few seconds, then she shook herself off and giggled, "Ah, I forgot you are here for a few months. That's why, you aren't aware of him yet."

"Ozul Vex is Princess Aereum's ex-boyfriend."

Yoon Min's jaw dropped at the statement. Ex-boyfriend?

"W-what did you say?"

"Ozul is a vicious demon that once used to be a guardian of Love Universe years ago. He was one of the bright, active guardian ever there was. Theref--"

Ella was cut off by another fairy who came inside the guardian.

"Fairy Ella, we need your help in the hall!"

She gave that a fairy a "All Right" and then looked back at Yoon Min.

"Miss, I've to go help them. You can know about Ozul Vex in the books. There are many books about him." she gave her guardian an apologetic look and then went away.

Yoon Min searched around and picked a thick book that was written about him. The book cover made her disgusted as the character of him was drawn like a maniac. She pulled a chair, sat and opened the book to read. She read a few pages which gave her a guess about who he was.

“Ozul Vex, also know as Demon of Betrayal, is known to be a cruel, remorseless, devilish creature everyone fears and loathes. His real name is Hong Jong Hyun, a guardian of Love Universe during 16th century. He is said to be one of the popular, experienced, wise guardian during that time.

He fell in love with Han Aereum, a guardian during the same century. Both of them loved each other a lot and gained popularity for their beauty and power.

After spending 100 years together, Aereum suggested they both should try going back to Earth. Jong Hyun agreed with her and both of them asked for permission to Prince Seung Min, during the beginning of 17th century.

The magical crystal ball can feel the power of any feelings, whether the depth of the feeling is strong enough to live with each other. The ball glows purple if two guardians' love for each other is enough to fight back, if their hearts are connected by an invisible string, if they are bonded by fate. Unfortunately, the crystal ball did not glow purple in the case of them."

Yoon Min widened her eyes and leaned closer to read with more focus.

"Jong Hyun was mad, frustrated about it. He was ashamed of himself as well as his lover. He was embarrassed about their long-time love which had no value. Aereum wanted to continue their relationship and forget about what happened, she suggested to live together happily without any regrets of the past.

But seemed like Hong Jong Hyun did not like that idea.

He started grow distant from her and became inattentive towards the humans. He would spend his days in his room, isolated from everyone. He stopped socializing with others. One fine day, he stormed out of his room and began attacking whoever was in front of him. At one time, he even attacked the Prince. Aereum tried her best to stop him but she became one of his victims too. And later, he ran away from the universe to no one knows."

She flipped the next page quickly.

"A decade later, when Aereum was promoted as the Princess of Love Universe; one day, he returned to the castle.

But he was no more the sweet bright beloved boyfriend.

He was not Jong Hyun anymore.

Rather he had turned into a scary looking creature, his skin became red as well as his eyes, two horns standing over his head, and he became more muscular and tall. He looked no more than A Devil from The Hell. That wasn't all. He even consumed black magic he gained from the Black Hole.

He destroyed many beautiful structures and creations in a flash, killed countless guardians using his evil power, turned some guardians into his own servants. He wanted to make Love Universe into a mere circus of dead people.

He was unstoppable.

Princess Aereum had no choice but to end the same man she once loved with her everything. Using her holy powers, she struck a ball of lightening directly towards him and his mini army; causing them to break apart and pushed out of the land. She put an invisible shield around the whole universe which is the only thing that is protecting the universe as of now.

Since then, Ozul Vex is a threat to Love Universe. No one knows where is he now and what might he be thinking. But one thing for sure is, he is still alive."

Yoon Min closed the book after releasing a long sigh.

The story intrigued her a lot.

Her mind was circling around this fact that Princess Aereum had been ruling the universe all well and perfectly. She had a deep tragic past yet she managed to look strong. Maybe that's why, she was chosen as the Princess.

"Yah, Yoon Min, what you doing?"

She was startled and saw Beomgyu standing in front of the table with an innocent grin.

When did he get here?

"O-Oh, Beomgyu-ah...nothing, I was just--" she put another book over the Ozul book as she didn't want him to know she was reading about him.

He then said, "Hey, aren't you coming? It's almost 6 p.m."

She looked at the wall clock and saw 10 minutes remaining for the meeting to start.

"Right, let's go."

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

Beomgyu and Yoon Min reached the castle on time. They went inside and saw the grand hall being arranged. All guardians, fairies, employees were present. Thousands of seats were arranged for them to sit. And in the higher floor, there stood a lectern on which a microphone was placed. It was clearly shown that it was for Princess Aereum. She might give a lecture. 

Beomgyu nudged her to point her to a certain direction, "Sung Rin and Myeong Jo is sitting there. Wanna go?"

She nodded as a reply.

Both of them walked towards their row. Fortunately, they were sitting in the middle row which was pretty good in every way. Sung Rin waved at them when she saw them and Myeong Jo only smiled.

"Hey, both of you, sit here." Sung Rin patted the two empty seats beside her.

Yoon Min's shoelace got loosened all on a sudden so she stopped walking and bent down to fix her shoes. Beomgyu saw her and immediately took an attempt to go help her. But she signaled him not to come and she'll be there in a second.

While fixing the laces, suddenly, her dead heart began aching again. And tears formed her eyes.

Oh no...he's here.

She stood up and glanced around her slightly because wherever he was, she should go to the opposite side. She couldn’t run into him. Not now.

But to her unfortunate luck, she froze in place due to shock that he was exactly coming towards her direction from a few distance away along with the other senior guardians.

It's been long. Very long Seokjin has stopped talking to her. There wasn't any specific reason. That's what she thought. Since that night to this day, there wasn't a single time she didn't try to break his anger. What made him this mad? What is the reason he was avoiding her? She knew nothing.

As he was approaching her with a blank face, she thought maybe everything was over. Maybe he wasn't mad at her anymore. Maybe she could sleep peacefully now without thinking what mistake she committed. Maybe she could again talk to him like before. Maybe he will start to smile again.

But no, what she thought was wrong.

He walked passed her as if she was nothing.

"Yoon Min-ah, what're you doing?! Get over here!" Sung Rin shouted at her.

Losing the hope she had for a moment, her heart ached less as he walked away from her. Once again, he managed to hurt her knowingly. Yoon Min bit her bottom lip, now regretting why did she expect things from him. It's his loss if he didn't tell her what she did.

She walked to her friends and sat beside Myeong Jo, lowering her head. Yes, she wanted to burst into crying. But she held herself from doing a useless thing by crying.

"Yoon Min, what was that?"

She looked at Myeong Jo.

"I mean, what's with you both? You used to be close now you are acting like strangers." she asked with concern.

Yoon Min chose not to answer her question as she herself didn't know the answer. Shrugging her shoulders off, she just mumbled, "I don't know."

Some time later, when everyone was settled in their seats, Secretary Baekhyun went to get the Princess. The entire hall was filled with common gossips and questions.

Beomgyu elbowed Yoon Min, "Yah, what do you think they called us all on a sudden?"

"I think it's about Ozul Vex."

His eyes were surprised, of course who won't be? He cleared his throat and asked, "The Ozul Vex?"

She nodded.

"How did you know?"

"My fairy told me."

Beomgyu let out a frustrated expression, "For real? Aish, your fairy knows many things while mine one always sleeps. Aish, I hope it isn't about him." he ran his fingers through his hair.

The large door opened and everyone stood up, taking it as a gesture that the princess will walk inside. Princess Aereum stepped inside the hall and silence fell over them. They all bowed to her with respect. Aereum bowed back lightly and walked to her lectern, Secretary Baekhyun following her from behind.

Every individual present was quiet as a mouse.

She took her time to fix the mic, even discussed a few things with Baekhyun softly so that no one could hear. Well, everyone was just hearing ruffling sounds.

Finally, she turned at the overflow presence of guardians, fairies and staffs. Clearing her throat, she took a hold of the mic with her fingers and began,

"Good evening everyone. I'm glad everyone paid attention to my words and arrived here on time. You all must be thinking why I conducted a meeting all on a sudden in a busy evening. I have to inform you, a major event has fallen upon us so I had to hold a meeting."

A distance scoff was heard from somewhere. It was either Yoon Gi or Jungkook.

"Now, coming back to the main topic, I am absolutely ashamed and disgraced to inform you,

Ozul Vex is planning to return."

I had a nice dream about Jin ;)
