“I thought you liked berries.”

“No, she likes mangoes.”

“I ain't talking to you.”

“Well, you are practically giving unwanted foods to her which she doesn’t even like.”

“I know what she likes or not. Mangoes may be her favorite but she cannot deny my famous seaweed soup.”

“To me, your soup smells like nothing but plain hot water.”

“Shut it, will you?”

“Try me. Only I know what she wants to eat right now and that is Naengmyeon!”

“If you do---”

Yoon Min interrupted both of them, “Boys!”

Seokjn and Beomgyu stopped their bickers and looked at her. She was getting annoyed by their extra care since she woke up. To describe in words, both the men were pampering her with sweet healthy foods and never left her room since forever. And both of them always fought. Which was kind of disturbing her ears.

She said, “Am I Queen Elizabeth II that you are serving me like servants? And why do you both always fight?”

The boys seemed to be confused by her words as they kept staring at her, eyes wide.

“I'm fine, alright? I can take care of myself. I am not a baby.” she pouted.

“You know when you say you're not a baby; that's when you actually look like a real baby.” Seokjin teased her, causing her to glare at him.

She added, “Also, why are you not leaving this room at all?”

Beomgyu put the bowl of Naegmyeon he was holding on her bedside and put his hands over his waist, “You are sick. I cannot leave you alone even for a second.”

“Hey, I'm completely fine now. I woke up like 3 days ago and you guys haven’t left my side at all! I mean, don't you have work to do? Like sleeping, taking showers, eating, resting?”

“My friend, my world revolves around you only.” His poetry made her eyes roll back while Seokjin scoffed lowly.

Beomgyu then added, “If you need to kick people out then kick HIM out!” his index finger pointed at innocent Seokjin.

“Hey, you are the one going around humming every minute. Why do I need to be kicked out?”

“Well, Yoon Min is a female and we are both male. Surely, it makes her uncomfortable if we stay with her all the time.”

“So?”

“So you get out.”

“Why am I the one getting out? You get out, Choi!”

“No, I'm her best friend. I will stay with her.”

“Well, I am her Senior also yours so YOU should get out as I said.”

“Don't misuse your power, Kim Seok Jin.”

“You are making me do it!”

“Song Yoon Min, choose who gets out.”

Both of them looked at her for an answer.

Yoon Min replied within a second, “BOTH!”

Getting her reply, both the boys sat down by each side of her bed as if she did not say that. Yoon Min scoffed at first then she began to laugh at their childish behaviour.

“Guys, enough of your goofiness. Now tell me, how long will it take to reach Planet Earth?” she asked bringing a serious topic.

Seokjin responded, “According to my calculation, it will take 22 hours and 34 minutes for us to land on South Pole.”

She asked him, “And where exactly is the diamond?”

Seokjin was thinking when Beomgyu answered instead, “It all says in the map.”

“Then Get The Map!” Seokjin glared.

Beomgyu shot back, “Why me?!”

“Can't you see I'm feeding her?”

This time, Beomgyu had to accept defeat since he found no other way to continue the argument. He gritted his teeth and tried to cool himself down.

“Beomgyu-ah, go get it, will you? It's a matter of few minutes.” Yoon Min encouraged him.

Well, since the girl he liked told him, he immediately stood up on his feet and made his way towards the door. Seokjin was smirking silently as he thought he managed to make his competitor lose. Until Beomgyu's loud intentional mumbles could be heard,

“That old man thinks he can order me around...”

Seokjin immediately got offended by his words as he yelled back,

“Hey, who are you calling Old!? I am World Wide Handsome, You Know?! I am still as Young as you!”

Too bad he was already out of the room.

“What does he think of himself, an 18 year old?” Seokjin mumbled lowly before making eye-contact with Yoon Min who was smiling sheepishly.

“What are you looking at, kid?” he asked being confused.

Yoon Min responded in her sweet voice, “My Seonbae isn’t mad at me anymore~”

He scoffed lightly, as he was becoming embarrassed.

“Stop talking and open your mouth.”

He shoved a big spoon of soup in her mouth, causing her to frown in disappointment. The little pouts, rebels she was holding made his whole day brighter than the sun. He smiled and kept feeding her like a mother.

Beomgyu returned quickly while reading the map on the way,

“It says there is a gigantic cave in Antarctica. Deep inside, we may find it.”

He threw the tied map at Seokjin disrespectfully, causing the other male to almost curse at him.

Yoon Min asked, “It must be so cold there.”

“Well, researchers said the cave is warm enough to wear a T-shirt only so I don't think it will be a problem.“ Beomgyu got rid of her concern.

She looked at Seokjin,

“So what's the plan?”

Since he was the senior guardian and Princess Aereum held him in leadership, he had the final say to everything. Seokjin put down the bowl and began thinking; resting his hands over his knees. He poked his right cheek with his tongue from inside, deeply wondering about everything.

Finally, he said, “There isn’t much more to plan. The possibility of the devil's attacking is less too. They can't stand cold at all so they cannot attack us this time. We all will go inside the cave and look for the purple diamond. Take it and return to Love Universe as soon as possible.”

The other guardians nodded to his decision.

Yoon Min suddenly asked to no one, “I'm quite confused about who attacked me.” she held a little pout.

Beomgyu held her hand, tightened hers with his and gave it a shake to cheer her up. She smiled faintly as she looked at their joined hands.

“It was Ozul Vex.”

Seokjin's sudden announcement made both of them drop their mouths and stare at him in long silence.

“Are you crazy, Kim Seok Jin? Why will he attack her? What's he got to do with her?” Beomgyu demanded to know right away.

“I have a feeling that he wanted to scare us or hurt her only. I got this damn gut feeling he is fooling us.” Seokjin said in response, making Beomgyu go silent. Yoon Min believed in him always so she remained quiet as many thoughts crossed her mind.

What if Ozul really had something to do with her?

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

The next day, when their ship landed on a remote area in great Antarctica, all three of them came across many adventurous moments consisting dangers, heavy snowfalls, unsustainable fear as they kept going more and more inside the dark warm cavern. Their eyes searched for the shiny purple diamond; the last thing they needed to survive this deadly mission. But it was very hard to find as if they had to find the last tiny piece of a puzzle.

“Search harder, guys.” Yoon Min spoke from a corner, her voice echoed loudly inside the frozen icy cave.

Seokjin was on the other side of the cave when he stepped on something uneasy. He stomped on the icy ground intentionally and it made a creaking sound. He glanced at the wall in front of him and out of curiosity, he placed his hand on it. It sure did feel soft. He rubbed the ice side to side and unexpectedly, something came visible in his eyes.

“Guys, something's here!”

The other two guardians came running from their places and appeared at the same spot.

“What is it?” Yoon Min tried to figure out what was written in front of them. Upon removing the thick ice, some scratched words came in sight; they were sculpted to the wall.

“What disappears when said its name?” Beomgyu repeated the words.

A riddle?

“Okay, if it's a riddle, then I'm dead. I am Very Bad at it.” Beomgyu confessed without even trying.

Seokjin brought his hand up to rub his chin and mumbled, “I wish Nam Joon was here.”

It looks like all three guardians had no clue.

“Let's try common things.”

Beomgyu stepped closer and whispered, “Love?”

Nothing happened.

“Hope?”

“Light?”

“Music? Dance? Love Universe?”

“Sea? Ocean? Rain? Sky? Water? Storm? Voice? Guardian?”

“Purple Diamond?”

Seokjin burst into outrage, “Can you stop guessing?! We need to think!”

Beomgyu shut his mouth and obeyed.

“I can't believe we are this bad at riddles!” Yoon Min whined loudly. 

It had been more than a hour they are trying to figure out the answer. Yoon Min also followed every possible guess but failed. While Beomgyu gave up a long time ago and as for Seokjin, he was deeply thinking.

“Seonbae, aren't you supposed to know? You are like the second Newton.” She elbowed her senior.

He huffed softly, “I think my brain is mad at me for being too handsome.”

Yoon Min sighed at his joke and turned around to sit beside Beomgyu. She gave up too.

“Let all of us think together for a while.” Seokjin also sat with them on the cold ground; circling each other.

“So it's a name...if I say it, it disappears. What can it be?”

“I say its name and it disappears...”

“Let's think the words in another way... Disappear as in destroy or remove or lose its meaning...”

“What is the thing that upon saying its name, it gets destroyed?”

Beomgyu suddenly felt like singing since he lost interest in solving the riddle,

“Can't you see me?

Like that magic day, say, "Believe me"

My burnt heart~

Come and feel me, feel me

Oh, can't you see me?”

Seokjin threw him a dead glare to stop him from singing in a complicated situation.

“Friends don't understand me anymore~

Friends don't understand me anymore~~”

“Will you stay silent, Choi Beomgyu?!” He shouted.

Beomgyu responded, “Stop yelling.”

“Because of your unwanted singing, I can't focus!”

“Alright! I was just being bored!”

Seokjin sighed and joint his hands, “Please for the sake of Love Universe, keep silent.”

“Silence.”

Both male looked at her.

“Silence! The answer!” Yoon Min's face couldn’t contain the happiness.

“If we say silence, it disappears!”

Before anything could happen, Seokjin was in front of the wall. Guess he wanted to go home sooner than anyone.

“Silence.” he whispered.

The words faded into nothing and there rose an ice pillar containing frost and a wooden box. Sparkling lights were shining through the corners. This must be it.

Seokjin took the box and examined it.

“Go on, open it.” Beomgyu urged him.

He nodded and with a big breath, his fingers touched the lock and opened it.

A middle-sized purple diamond was inside.

“Yes, we finally found it!” Yoon Min giggled and made her way towards him to take a closer look at the diamond.

“Now that we found it, let's go back to the ship. We need to leave for Love Universe as soon as possible.”

Seokjin nodded at Beomgyu's words and all three of them left the Earth leaving no traces of them amd taking the one and only purple diamond from the human's territory.

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

With the perfect knowledge and skills, Seokjin managed to joint the Magical Wand and The Purple Diamond together. Now it looked like a beautiful piece of art. Though it contained the strongest power in the universe.

They kept it safe and secret for the time-being.

Their spaceship was getting closer to their universe as it took them a day to reach. Yoon Min couldn’t contain the excitement inside her to meet with her fairy and friends again. Most importantly, she really missed the beautiful aura of Love Universe. While she was gone, she felt those ups and downs; missing the universe. Now she realized Love Universe was her home. She was bound to miss it.

“She didn’t pick up?” Beomgyu asked, raising his eyebrows.

Seokjin said in response, “This is the 9th time.”

He was trying to get in contact with Princess Aereum after they completed their mission. However, the line didn’t connect every time he contacted her.

“I'll go get Yoon Min.” Beomgyu stood up from his seat and exited the cockpit.

After some time, he returned with her and informed her about everything on the way.

“Try one more time.” she told Seokjin.

He tried to contact again on her behalf. The result was same.

Yoon Min was found silent after then.

Beomgyu spoke up, “Do you think... something happened?”

“Something like what?”

“Like Ozul Vex got the universe under attack or something?”

Yoon Min and Seokjin stole glances from each other, listening to Beomgyu's theory. It wasn’t that impossible for his theory to be real.

The spaceship was making its way to enter the boundary. That’s when, SeokJin widened his eyes and warned the others,

“Stop the ship!”

Trusting him, Yoon Min pulled the hard lever down as a result, the whole ship stopped right in front of the universe.

The other two guardians looked at their senior for an explanation.

“Ozul Vex is in Love Universe.”
