The beat of the still heart[Completed]

14: Lets plan

No one spoke a word as they were exiting the Palace however Jassabella and Daniel both could comprehend the volcano that was about to erupt. The grumbling of the sky which was slowly being covered by thick black clouds was the exact representation of Hana's temper as well as the clear sign of the storm that was about to hit Voclaunore.

Gathering some courage, Daniel proceeded to lightly touch Hana's shoulder and in an instant, she whirled around to meet his eye and spoke "So are you happy now?"

The gruff in her tone made Daniel flinch and he swallowed the lump on his throat to be able to reply to her. "Hana, I..."

"You got what you wanted right?" she interrupted him.

"No Hana, I just wanted to protect you from those self-centered royalties" he immediately defended his action.

"And you think you are any different than them,?" Daniel opened his mouth to speak but nothing came out of them and all he could do was lower down his head and stare at his feet."You just proved that no one can beat you in being selfish" Hana scoffed, trying to control the anger from bursting out.

"Look at me when I talk to you" her authoritative tone forced Daniel to connect their eye and in an instant, he died a hundred death seeing the hostility being reflected on Hana's orbs.

"Do you know what your stunt might cost all of us? of course you don't give a damn about your family and their position but what about me and Hina? You were willing to jeopardize our life and our dreams just because you couldn't stand me being friends with some guy other than you." her voice was already breaking as she spoke those words since even the possibility that her dream might be snatched from her made her feel like she had no purpose of living.

"You disrespected them, triggering them to react and if they are really how you describe them to be then all of us here can say bye-bye to our future." Hana was almost shouting at him by now.

Finally, the gravity of his actions was sinking onto his thick skull. Daniel knew if Uchiha Jungkook wanted he could actually turn all three of their lives into living hell and also take away his title as the crown prince of Vieana in a blink. They could be expelled and Hana's dream to be a medical officer would get squashed as well and all of these would be his fault. He was the one to be blamed for the tears threatening to fall from her beautiful eyes.

"I just... I just wanted what's best for you..." he stuttered about to break down into tears, not being able to handle Hana's enmity.

"Only I get to decide what is best for me Daniel, No one else can" Hana stated glaring at him with cold eyes then strode away without turning back.

As Daniel's lips quivered in helplessness he turned to his other best friend for her help and low-key pleaded to her with puppy eyes. 

"Idiot! when will you learn your lesson?" Jassabella broke her silence.

"If you will continue to try and control her, believing its for her best, in no time Hana will get suffocated by you, and the day she will refuse to even see your face might come as well" She warned him and followed Hana leaving Daniel to repent on his actions alone.

Jungkook was observing the entire scene from the enormous windowpane at the top floor of the palace taking a slip of the red fluid in the hope that his disruptive urges would subside. However, the more the distance between him and Hana was being added the more his desire to end the cause of his predicament was increasing.

"It's for the best you know." Sehun proclaimed. "You deserve so much better"

Jungkook took a deep breath in and spoke. "from now onwards, if you ever open your mouth to disgrace her, I will make sure it will be the last day you will ever speak." Jungkook turned to his friend who had a look of shock plastered on his face.

"Always remember, shaming her is disrespecting the entire Uchiha clan. Every time you humiliate her it is disrespecting the title of lady light and every finger pointed at her character is a slap to my face" Jungkook declared and retraced his steps back to the divan beside his elder brother.

"Do you want me to send a Royal order to seize the status of the Salvaster family?" Jimin mentioned while his eyes were fixed on the novel he was holding.

"No, He is important to Hana, which means he is important to me however his stunt won't go unpunished" Jimin gave a slight side smirk perceiving his little brother's mind.

"Salvaster is going to regret messing with you" Jimin snorted, casting his book aside and giving his full attention to Jungkook. A simper graced Jungkook's lips as he shrugged his shoulders to convey that it was meant to happen since nobody had ever gotten away after getting into his nerves and Daniel wouldn't be any exception.

"Stop sulking and join us," Jimin patted on the free place beside him, signaling Sehun who was still upset with the threat his childhood friend had given to him to come beside them.

"At least, I didn't punch you dude, When I  bad-mouthed your ex, you used your sword on me" Jungkook chuckled, taking another sip of the intoxicating warm liquid.

"I said sorry afterward, didn't I?" Sehun groaned, rolling his eyes.

"Well for me that word is only reserved for my future wife" Jungkook winked and the three of them chortled, coming up with plans to get revenge on prince Salvaster in a harmless yet savage way that they knew would surely cut any possibility Daniel had with Hana.
