The beat of the still heart[Completed]

33:Protector

Like she had promised, Jassabella allowed the unconscious officer to be taken away first and then banned the official from her property. Due to Jimin's influence, her demands were heeded with an agreement that Jimin would personally make sure that Jassabella would stay on house arrest as ordered by the council.

Though not completely satisfied with the outcome, Jassabella felt calmer in Jimin's presence allowing her to think with a clear mind about how to deal with their problem.

"How about we rescue Jungkook and others first and all of us can together storm down the council and stop this monstrosity?" Jassabella put her idea forward but Jimin was a bit hesitant.

Though Jungkook, Jimin, and Sehun combined could take down most of the council members the elders weren't some old hags to be taken lightly of.

The elders, also known as High Council and The Ten were formed with the most powerful council members representing their race, species, and clans. They were not only wise and cunning but had years and years of experience as most of them had fought all the great wars that had happened and survived every odd.

Not to forget his own brother and cousins were Members of the High Council.

"There can be other ways to save her besides going for violence, how about we focus on proving that she is innocent?" Jimin suggested Jassabella with more practical approaches.

"Okay then let's rescue all of them then storm down where Jihyo is locked away and bring her as the witness-  anyway where is Jihyo why is no one questioning her?" Her sudden question made the glow on Jimin's face disappear. Jassabella sensed his distress as it was quite evident in his expression and his body language.

Jimin was fidgeting not knowing how he would break the bad news which would definitely push Jassabella back to her sorrow nevertheless he had to let her know the situation.

"When Jihyo woke up she had no memory of the incident? in fact, she was shocked to find herself in the container, not in the penthouse she was staying in"  Jimin ruffled his hair recalling the devastating news he got from Helena, Jihyo's sister.

"After Jihyo was informed about the incident and how Daniel is in a coma, she blamed herself for everything, for everyone's death, and for Hana's predicament, and in the grief of hurting her mate, she tried to kill herself. "

Just like how Jimin had guessed, the news threw Jassabella off the cliff and she landed back in the same pool of misery. It was like bad news were pouring down upon her one by one and not being able to handle another series of unfortunate revelation Jassabella broke down in tears.

She felt terrible for her friends, each of them was having to struggle for their life, and then there she was, a useless piece doing nothing to help them.

"I want to go where Daniel and Jihyo are, I want to take care of them until they wake up" Jassabella expressed her wishes and Jimin nodded his head assuring her that he will make that arrangement happen.

"You love them a lot, don't you" Jimin patted her head feeling proud that she had grown up to become such a considerate and loving person. She was no longer the shy girl he was once engaged to when they were merely children.

It was unfortunate that her father had broken off their engagement fearing for Jassabella's safety after he was revealed to be the vessel for Aido. It was very surprising for Jimin to see her again after nine years of separation and when she introduced herself with a different name, he realized she no longer remembered him. However, after noticing the teddy bear Chimmy he had gifted to her when they parted, resting beside her pillow the hope that she might recognize him sooner or later had rekindled.
