JiEun

Around two o’clock in the morning when I jolt awake. I toss and turn, twisting myself up amongst the sheets before I give up on sleeping again and sit up. I sigh and recall all that has happened earlier that evening. JunHong is an android, a humanoid. That is something you defiantly do not hear every day. Had everyone not been that serious I wouldn’t have believed them, I mean, seriously… I had no clue technology was so advanced these days.

Swinging myself up out of bed I quietly walk out of my room and down stairs. I need to see JunHong. I need to tell him that although I was creeped out and shocked, that it’s okay because, like he said, he is still the same person. I tip toe down the stairs not wanting to wake anyone due to the early hour. Although, JunHong should be awake… He would be worried about what I think… Right? If he likes me he would… Wouldn’t he?

When I am in front of his room I knock softly on his door. “JunHong… It’s me…” Knocking again I wait for a response. After what feels like ten minutes I open the door slowly, “JunHong…?”

My jaw drops at the sight of his room. I have always wanted to see what was behind the door but never did; it was one of the rules that HimChan and YongGuk had laid down when I moved in. I had to knock before I entered and had to be invited in, like a vampire.

Fumbling around for a light switch on the wall, I look at my surroundings, illuminated by the shower like space in the corner of the room glowing a soft blue. Once I find the light switch and turn it on I notice that there is no bed, nothing but walls and walls of shelves with the glowing shower in one corner and a desk in another. The main thing that strikes me is that there is no JunHong.

Rushing out of the room I head to the kitchen, finding nothing I move to the lounge.

Nothing. No one. I feel like screaming, he needs to be here. He can’t not be here. Running as quietly as I can up stairs, I make my way to my room. Once inside I dress in the first clothes I find and grab my phone, not really paying attention to the amount of battery power it holds.

Once I have everything in order – shoes on the right feet and a jumper to keep me warm – I hurry back down stairs, checking the rooms one more time. Now with panic rising in my chest I run out of the house, running towards some of the places I know JunHong likes to hang out.

I need to find him…

DaeHyun

The front door opens just as I put my feet down in the hallway, I involuntarily jump at the sound.

“Sorry Hyung…” JunHong says from the doorway, he looks like he hasn’t slept for days. His skin pale and shadows hang under his eyes and cheekbones.

“You were out all night.” I comment, moving forward, he simply nods and mumbles an apology. “Are you okay?”

“I need to…sleep…” he mutters swaying slowly from side to side like he is about to faint. I nod, helping him to his room and allowing all the respective cords to find their own way to their ports. It always amazed me how YongGuk had managed to make this machine work.

I smile softly, “Come out when you’re charged okay?”

Again he nods and his eyes flutter shut. I sigh as I walk out of his room, shutting his door behind me. With that I move to the kitchen where I find HimChan drinking a black coffee and YoungJae eating some ridiculously colourful cereal.

“Morning.” They both mutter when I grab a bowl from the cupboard.

“Hi.” I say.

Once serving myself my own helping of colourful cereal we eat in silence, last night having an effect on our morning moods. It always did.

“JunHong’s home.” I mutter at one point, and HimChan nods, relief washing over his features.

“That’s good, I am glad.” He says, refilling his mug with coffee water.

YoungJae sighs and places his bowl in the sink. “I think I need more sleep.”

HimChan and I nod, knowing too well that although we got at least seven hours last night it does nothing to replenish the emotional drain that we all feel.

“Has anyone seen JiEun?” JongUp asks as he walks into the kitchen rubbing sleep from his eyes.

“I thought she was still asleep.” YoungJae says, looking at HimChan and myself for reassurance that he was right.

Shrugging I look at JongUp, “Isn’t she?”

He shakes his head, “I knocked for a while but there was no reply, so I opened the door and she wasn’t there. She isn’t answering her phone either…”

HimChan stands up suddenly, and we all turn to him, “YongGuk!” he yells running up the stairs.

JongUp

We all followed HimChan up to YongGuk’s office where the latter is sitting with his head in his hands phone smashed against the opposite wall. It honestly amazes me that HimChan can hear everything that goes on in this house.

YongGuk sighs as HimChan wraps his arms around him, trying to get him to explain why his phone was now broken.

“They… Those people… Have JiEun…” He mutters. And I swear to god the entire room is dead silent, no one seems to be breathing and the only thing that can be heard is the humming of JunHong’s charging station downstairs.

“How…?” Someone asks, I can’t even tell who, since I am just staring at YongGuk who is now cradling HimChan in his arms.

“I… I don’t know… My father called… He said that they got the call… That we had hand over the humanoid or the girl dies… “

“Are they sure it’s JiEun?”

YongGuk nods, “They recorded the call and JiEun was crying out for JunHong…”

The sound of something going through plasterboard makes me turn my head. JunHong is standing there, eyes glowing florescent and removing his hand from the wall beside him.

“Where is she? I have to go get her. I can’t leave her there. It’s my fault.” He says, and YoungJae is instantly by his side muttering something I can’t hear.

“No!” JunHong yells, “We have to get her now!”

YongGuk stands up pulling HimChan behind him, “JunHong, you have to calm down.” He says sternly. And I can see JunHong slump his shoulders slightly, like a puppy being yelled at by his master. “We will get her…”

“Now?”

YongGuk shakes his head, “Not yet. You need to be calm. And… we need a plan…”

We all nod and instantly pay attention to YongGuk as he tells us what he knows.
