He put his tools on the table.

"Finally, I finished you. I can add you to my collection…with the others 'Aidoll'."

He shifted to the side, “Come, and meet your new friend.”

 “Yes, master.” Both of them replied.

The two of them stepped out of the dark room. One of them is really tall, at least 180cm with brown mid-long hair and seven different earring on his left ear; the other one have blond short hair, with thick lips. They went in direction of the newly made doll, on the table.

“Waoh! He’s handsome.” The smaller one exclaimed.

“Yeah he is! But not as handsome as me!” the taller one said, to show off.

“Aish Sungyeol, you choding…”

The man put his right hand to its mouth to cover his coughing but he coughed so much that blood stained his hand and the other hand is clenching his shirt. He felled to the ground.

“Master!” Both of them immediately went to his side and lifted him up. The old man went to the table to touch his new doll.  

"I don't have much time left anymore. I wanted to introduce myself to you...Sunggyu. I guess I can’t."

He quickly took a paper and write:

His name is Sunggyu. If you want him, just call his name 3 times. He will rise from his slumber and become yours.

"I hope your new master will be someone taking a good care of you." He turned to face the other two dolls, “And of course, that applied for both of you too.”

As a cry-baby, the smaller one started to cry first, clenching his master’s hand. The taller one left some silent tears rolling down his cheeks, he clenched his fist hard. They all know this day would come; it’s just a matter of time.

“You cry to easily, Dongwoo." He hug him tightly. "Don’t cry, I’m glad I made you guys…with my very soul. I’m also grateful you took care of me during all those hardship. One last thing, please take care of him.” He pointed towards the table. The two nods eagerly.

“W…we will…for your sake.” they promised.

The master caressed the two doll’s face, wiping their tears away.

“Is there anything you want to tell me…before I go…?” he asked.

Dongwoo opened his mouth but closed it after, he's unable to speak properly because he's still crying. So, Sungyeol took his place to express their feelings and thoughts.

 “We are glad you made us…so we can move, speak, feel what a real human can…made us a life. We will never forget you, our creator, Master Sungjong.”

After that final phrase, Sungjong smiled at their confession.

“Ahh…my eyelids are so heavy... I need to go sleep now.” He slowly closed his eyes.

The two of them cried even harder, even though Sungjong could no longer hear them.
