What Is Love To A Machine?

“Tao? Tao, where are you?!” Everything was white and I didn’t know where I was. I could only see white for what seemed like miles. I wasn’t sure what to make out of it.   “Gege.” I quickly turned around to see Tao, dressed in all white, waving in the distance. I broke out in a sprint to go meet him but the more I ran, the more far he seemed to be. I ran as hard as I could, forcing my legs to carry me until Tao seemed to disappear in the distance. “Tao?!” I was surrounded by white again.   I looked around and saw someone else in the distance. “Tao?” I walked over, and with each step I took, the familiar burning within my chest became more and more noticeable. “Gege.” I quickly turn around to face a giant, glowing, glass looking staircase that led up into a blinding light. “Tao?” I took a step on the glowing stairs and felt my body instantly heat up. It felt as if I was thrown into a sauna. Each step I took, the heat intensified even further within my chest. I tried to shed my clothing but a force on my wrists forced me away every single time. I chose not to question it and continued on with my climbing, picking up the pace so I could reach the top.   “Luhan?” I ran up the stairs and closed the distance between us. “What are you doing here? Where are we?” He was also decked out in all white and his face held a gentle smile. He reached out his hand and pressed his hand against my chest. I became lightheaded as memories flooded my mind and blinded my vision.   I buried my head into my hands and pressed my palms to my eyes so hard I started to see white. I couldn’t stop my body from trembling. My body was going into shock. It couldn’t be true. I must not be true. “Kris!” I look up to see Luhan and his mom, both pairs of eyes bloodshot but only Luhan’s produced what seemed like endless tears. “Lu-“ He closed the distance between us and crashed into my chest, his hands gripping my sweatshirt tightly. “I’m so sorry… I’m sorry.” Luhan just kept repeating that over and over while my body grew more and more numb. I didn’t want to cry anymore. “I won’t let you go Kris.” He looked right into my eyes, with tears still staining his cheeks. I nodded softly and buried my head on his shoulder while his arms wrapped tightly around me. “I won’t let you go.” I let myself cry. I cried the hardest I ever had in all my life because right then it had hit me.   My parents were gone.   “Luhan?” When I opened my eyes, he was no longer there. I looked around but he was nowhere in sight. I shook my head and looked forward, all the more determined to find Tao. I dashed up the stairs until I came across another figure. It was Suho this time. “Suho?” Okay, this is starting to get a little weird. “What are yo-“ I was soon cut off by Suho smiling and placing his hand on my chest, just as Luhan had did and instantly, the blinding light took over once more.   “I don’t like those two alone.” I look over to Suho who had a concerned look etched on his face. I leaned over and patted his back lightly. “They’re both old enough to make their own decisions, besides, you know how responsible Baekhyun is.” I offered a comforting smile and he nodded his head thoughtfully. “I guess you’re right, but I still can’t help but worry. What if Baekhyun gets hurt again?” A day had passed since Baekhyun had told us about his encounter with an Anonymous member and that had Suho in super protective mode. I couldn’t blame him. “I’m sure his friend… what was it? Chanyeol? Will take care of him. He did protect him before.” Suho ran a hand through his hair and nodded. I smiled and wrapped an arm around his shoulders. “You guys will be fine.” Suho nodded and smiled at me. “Thanks Kris.”   Just like Luhan before, Suho had disappeared by the time I had come to. Is this supposed to mean something? I turned back to continue running up the stairs. Tao, where are you? The next figure appeared a few moments later. This time, Baekhyun. He smiled brightly at me with his pearly whites and eyeliner rimmed eyes. I didn’t bother to greet him, since the others seemed to be mute. He reached out and pressed his hand to my chest.   “Kris hyung, come here for a second.” I looked over to see Baekhyun waving his hand in what seemed to be a magazine aisle. Baekhyun, Tao and I were checking out a bookshop we had found in a small corner of the city so we decided to check it out. I set the book in my hands down and walk over to where Baekhyun and Tao were. I froze when I saw the book in Baekhyun had in his hand. It was a playboy magazine. I could feel my face heat up as I watched Tao pick one up. He help it up curiously and I it opened up to one of those fold out posters. His eyes lit up with curiosity but I quickly snatched it away from him. A quick glance provided me with the image of a long legged redhead and nothing covering her but a few tools and a small red toolbox. “That’s not a book for you, Tao.” I placed it on the shelve and turned to Baekhyun who had his nose buried in the playboy he was holding. I quickly snatched it and dragged them both out of the small bookstore and kept going until we ran into a small café where I thought
