Chapter 4



Yoon Min's life continued to be quite exciting in the next few weeks.

Pretty much every day was same for her. Though each day became each experience. She would wake up in the early morning, go for a walk with Ella, refresh and take her breakfast, attend classes, come back to her room, study, and then sleep. There are tons of leisure activities in Love Universe but she wasn't very interested in them. She would find a great enjoyment in reading her books in her beautiful patio swing in her balcony. That was her favorite thing to do. 

Yoon Min actually got to learn many things while staying here. She learnt that guardians have a choice to decide whether he wants to save the soul or not. Guardians have to save every suicidal human no matter what. But in some cases, if the guardian thinks the cause of the soul's suicide is justified, he may choose not to save the soul and let him/her die. Yes, sometimes guardians fail to save humans. But sometimes it's up to them whether they want to save the soul or not, considering the human's reason and future.

It was a wonder to her that her reason to commit suicide was so unsolvable and granted. After all, what happened that made her take her own life?

Also, she became friends with the other four newbies. They were here weeks ago before she came here so all five of them got along well.

And Yoon Min was starting to become a bright student as well. She never missed a class, always answered the questions if she was asked, completed all tasks given to her even before the submission date. Others were envious of her especially the girls as she was getting on the good side of their Heartthrob Teacher as well. Yet, her charms, her behaviour were enough to like her.

She couldn't wait to be a proper guardian. Secretary Baekhyun told her once that after she was trained enough, her watch will be activated and that's when she'll get calls from humans. She was still learning so she was very excited for her promotion as a proper Guardian. In one word, she was enthusiastic.

Like this, a month passed in Love Universe. Yoon Min got pretty used to this universe and to be honest, she was enjoying and loving each second here. Everything here were so fascinating and beautiful. She felt home around here. She could finally feel she was gradually changing into an old resident here.




However, one thing never changed.





She still felt the pain and she cried automatically when she saw Senior Guardian Seokjin.

It wasn't as violent and critical as the first time but she always felt her heart aching silently whenever he's near her. Not to mention her eyes dropped tears for God knows why. She never found out the reason behind it. And she kept it a secret from everyone. Even from Fairy Ella who almost knew everything about her now. It was really torturing for her to hide the pain and tears. It hurt her a lot.














"Girl, what're you thinking?"

Yoon Min snapped back to reality as Koushi pulled a chair and sat beside her. She was one of the newbies and of course, her friend.

"Nothing." she shook her head, clearly lying. She cannot tell her that she was thinking about her heart pain.

"Well, better not get lost in thoughts for the next one hour. Jin Oppa will kick you out of the class otherwise." Koushi playfully smirked.

Yoon Min scoffed slightly as she looked at her, "Seonbae (senior) isn't like that."

"Of course, you're his favorite student. How can I forget?" this time, Koushi elbowed her intentionally while keeping that smirk of hers.

Her cheeks suddenly flushed red hearing her words. She looked away while mumbling silently, "I'm not his favorite student. Who said that?"

"We all know how he treats you too differently from others. Don't pretend like you don't know."

Yoon Min looked at her, with an expression mixed with curiosity and confusion both together.

"What do you mean?"

"You know he always takes your answer as the correct one." Koushi stated in an obvious tone.

"That's because my answer IS correct. It's not a point."

She bit her bottom lip but didn't give up, "Then the fact he smiles at you always?"

Yoon Min sighed annoyingly, "He smiles at everyone!"

"No~ he smiles at you in an unique way."

The classroom was getting filled by chattering guardians. Koushi rolled her sleeves up and turned her body towards her.

"Look, I think I was some sort of fortune teller when I was alive. I can judge people's faces believe it or not. Jin gives you an exceptional smile which he never gives to others. It's a smile that shows love, care, pride. Also a bit of regret. Can't you see it?" Koushi sounded serious.

It was true Yoon Min never noticed it this way. So she laughed it off and looked away.

"Fine, don't believe me. No one does either." Koushi frowned and pretended to read a book while she was creating romantic scenarios with someone.

The class filled and Seokjin entered at the right time, looking handsome as always. Today's class also became another lesson. Yoon Min slightly noticed he was really good comparing to other professors who blabbered non-stop things only they can understand. Seokjin here showed, demonstrated each line and had a great sense of kindness. That's why, she liked his classes the most. He always gave knowledge and was cheerful while teaching. She could've paid more attention if she didn't had to care about her heart pain and tears right now.






A few minutes were left and the class will be over. Seokjin looked at the students and announced clearly, "Okay, I've an important announcement for the Newbies. Pay attention, all five of you."

Yoon Min noticed the other 4 girls raising their heads as they were sleeping the whole time. Oh, let a short introduction be given about the other four.

Lee Yian, a Guardian who came to Love Universe 2 months ago. She is extrovert, made friends with half of the guardians in the whole universe, playful and has a huge crush on Jeon Jungkook, the Senior Guardian.

Hwang Koushi came to Love Universe the same day Yian came. So they believe whatever happened to them in the past, they must be soulmates or sisters or best friends. And died together. That's only their belief. These 2 are besties. Koushi also has a crush on Jungkook. Like a fool, she asked him out without any plans and ended up being rejected. Yet her love for him was still there hopefully.

Shin Sung Rin was the one Yoon Min personally liked more. She came here a month and 20 days ago. She was really kind, funny, cute and she was a bit poetic. Her behavior was pretty modest from how she talkes and lookes. But exactly opposite when she came face to face with Jungkook. Sung Rin liked him as well. But unfortunately, she didn't have the authority to fangirl openly as she had a boyfriend already. And who was that boyfriend? The 2nd most handsome guardian of Love Universe Kim Taehyung. He's quite possessive of her as he didn't let her talk about any male except for him. The love was sincere and deep.

The last one who came three weeks before Yoon Min was Min Myeong Jo. And she respected this guardian a lot. Why? Because she always and always read. You'll always find her reading two books at the same time. Yoon Min found the passion in reading from her. Myeong Jo is introvert which was good too. Sometimes. She's a lot friendly when she got closer to one. And...Senior Guardian Park Jimin liked her. He even confessed but she... rejected him. The reason was unknown.

That'll be all with the introduction.

"As you already spent a month here and clearly you have a lot of knowledge about this whole thing, our respectable Princess Aereum finally gave her permission to give you 5 the access to be Proper Guardians." Seokjin smiled.

All 5 of them exclaimed in surprise as they looked at each other and couldn't keep their happy faces hidden. It was such an honor! They'll finally be able to help humans.

"But, as per as the rule, you'll have to take a trip with one of the guardians when they'll go down on Earth and have a basic training about how to help and protect the souls, how to talk to them through their minds. You all learnt it through books and lessons but it'll be better if you learn by your eyes." he added.

Myeong Jo, the one who always asked questions in classes, raised her arm, "Jin Seonbae, are you gonna take us to Earth?"

He looked at her and answered, "Unfortunately no. Senior Guardian Kim Nam Joon will take you 5 there. He's the most intelligent guardian so I hope he will teach you the way you need to be."

Finally they'll meet humans after a long time!

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

The next day, all 5 of them were standing in front of the castle's gate. Koushi and Sung Rin seemed to be very nervous. While Yian was super excited and Myeong Jo was none, she was confident actually. Yoon Min didn't know how she was feeling. Imagine, going back to Earth that once used to be their home. And meeting humans they were once. It's an unlogical, unexplainable feeling.



"Welcome! First time going to Earth?"

A manly voice spoke from behind them so all of them looked back to see Nam Joon standing in his white outfit.

"Hello, Nam Joon Seonbae." they bowed and greeted.

"Pleasure. Anyways, you all know me, right? So let's get on the business. My watch already beeped and showed me the location."

He showed his watch to them. It had a tiny red dot beeping continuously.

"Okay, let's go to Earth! You all know how to Transport?" he asked with a bright smile.

Yian answered on behalf of them, "W-we only read in books. Never actually tried it."

"Oh, then don't be afraid. Just follow my directions, okay? Hold my arm, all 5 of you."

They nodded and held his arm.

Nam Joon then closed his eyes and touched his watch with his first two fingers. He within a second vanished into the air with the other 5 girls with him. Usually, the watch could take its own Guardian there. Since their watches weren't activated yet, they held the arm of another Guardian whose watch was activated. So his watch took all 6 of them to the Earth.













Yoon Min opened her eyes. She was inside a washroom. Her eyes travelled everywhere quickly and found the others beside her. She was a bit relieved but still nervous. She was back in Earth after all.

"Now we're here in our Destined Place. What's the first thing a Guardian should do after arriving in Earth?" Nam Joon asked, looking at them.

Yoon Min took the chance, "Examine the place around him/her."

"Very good, Guardian Song. Let's see, we are in a high school's washroom. Our victim must be somewhere here." He looked around.

Myeong Jo pointed her index finger at one of the toilets which was locked.

"The victim's in there."

All of them looked towards the locked toilet. Feet of a girl was shown from underneath, trembling out of fear. That's his victim.

Nam Joon and the girls pushed their heads inside the door. Since they were invisible, they could walk or move through everything like a ghost. They saw a girl sitting on the toilet whose shirt was ripped from the side and the skirt was torn from the middle. She looked extremely scared and her body was shaking. Her eyes were so red and teary. Not to mention the red marks all over her neck and lips.

A guardian could figure out its victim's problem the moment he/she looked at him/her. And all 6 of them knew her condition.

They drew their heads back and stood in the same position they were when they landed.

"So you guys realize what is her problem?"

Yoon Min wanted to answer but Myeong Jo was fast this time, "Sexual Assault, Senior. Her male teacher must've tried to force himself on her many times. She lives with her grandmother so she has no one to complain to. So she's been bearing the tortures and now thinking to commit...suicide for the first time."

Nam Joon nodded and released a deep sigh. All of them were pretty upset and sad by the student's poor condition. She must've gone through a lot.

"This is the choice a Guardian should make. My choice is she must live. Ending her life won't give her peace or domination. All she will get is to escape from the teacher. Nothing else. So she cannot die and I must save her." Nam Joon explained it to them.

The student came out of the washroom now crying helplessly. She stood in front of the wide mirror and didn't dare to look at her reflection. How could she? She hated herself. She remembered the times she screamed for help but no help came. She kept sobbing, keeping her eyes closed.

Nam Joon approached her slowly and patted her head in a smoothing way. Humans can't see Guardians. But they can feel their touches faintly. And also hear them in a whispering tone.

Before the girl could react, he whispered in her ear,

"Dear soul Kim Sae Ron, in a situation like yours, it's understandable that you don't want to live anymore. After all those injustice and sinful touches, no one has a reason to live.

However, you're a lucky girl. You know why? Because you have trustworthy friends. You have Mrs. Choi as a lovely teacher. They cannot rescue you unless they don't know you need it."

The scared expression on her face slowly changed as she was completely under his spell. Her tears stopped falling. His words affected her.

Yoon Min was shocked how can a few words completely change a person.

Nam Joon whispered again, "Ask for help to fight another day. You have the power to say This Is Not How My Story Ends. Be a legend and reveal the truth you're hiding."












The girl suddenly ran out of the washroom. The girls looked surprised and anxious as they looked at each other and looked at Nam Joon for an explanation.

He smiled in response.

"My work is done."

He walked out of the washroom, followed by the others.

Sae Ron ran to an elderly teacher who was standing in the hallway. She hugged her and began sobbing again. The elderly teacher looked very surprised as she couldn't hold her back. It was far but the Guardians still could read their mouths. The elderly teacher suddenly took her hand and entered another classroom.

"What do you think is gonna happen?" Koushi asked.

"Wait and watch." Nam Joon replied in a joyful voice. As if he was certain he won.

A few moments later, a male teacher was thrown out of the class. And guess what? Sae Ron herself was slapping and hitting him and the other classmates throwing their shoes at him. The male teacher was almost on the floor but managed to run away from the students. The elderly teacher called police and the Police took him away and assured he won't be out of jail soon.



Senior Guardian Nam Joon saved another soul!




All the girls cheered and clapped their hands in victory and began praising him. He wanted more compliments but stopped his greediness when he saw they had to go back.

"Oh, shoot! We gotta go back! Newbies, hold my arm again. Next time, when you come on Earth, after saving a soul, just touch your watch and you'll go back to Love Universe. Now, let's go back."
