LOADING: Test Run 008       "Whee In, are you in here? I need to talk to you," Solar popped her head into the lab, strolling in when she saw the friendly nod coming from Whee In.   "So, what's up? Your parts need fixing? Is Hwasa not in?"   "I have something on my mind."   "Oh, okay! Ask away."   "I think... I think that I like Moonbyul."   Whee In felt the biggest smile creep over her face, and she cocked a brow at the robot. "Well, there's your answer."   "My answer?"   "Okay, let's see. Why do you like her? How do you know you like her? Stuff like that. Tell me everything."   "She's pretty."   "That's all?"   "She's pretty in the sense that I would stare at her the whole day if I could. She's pretty when she smiles, the way her nose scrunches up, making her look like a squirrel. She's pretty both inside and out, she cares for me and I can see that. She cares for me the same way she cared for the Solar before me, as both a friend and as a person. And I like that about her. I know that I like her because when I look at her, my hands become clammy and my stomach explodes with butterflies, my heart pumps faster, my cheeks blaze with electricity. And all I want to do is hug her, and tell her that everything's okay."   "See, that's your answer, Solar."   "You said that before. What do you mean?"   "Back when you were the old Solar, you once came into my lab to ask me if your love was real, not just something that was programmed into you by Moonbyul. I know that you have the exact same question in your mind as we speak. How is it possible that you are able to like or love someone in the way that humans can, right?"   Solar nodded, listening carefully to the smaller girl.   Whee In paused, before continuing, "Well, what you just said to me is your answer. The old Solar was in love with Moonbyul. And here you are, the exact same thing happening to you! This proves that it isn't just programming, but that you are actually feeling something for her." She walked up and placed a hand on Solar's chest. "It means that whatever you are feeling in here, is real. It means that there are still parts of the old Solar inside of you that refuses to go away, even after a reset. It means that whatever of the old Solar that is left inside of you, never wants to let Moonbyul go. And the current you, doesn't want to let her go as much as the old Solar does. Not anymore."   # # #   "Moonbyul,"   "Hm?" she turned towards the robot, with a small smile on her face. "You called?"   "Nothing. I just wanted to look at you," Solar grinned, her eyes turning into crescents.   Moonbyul felt her cheeks flare, and chewed on her bottom lip to hide her inner excitement. She refused to look at Solar for the next minute, and instead opting to pretend to concentrate on the paperwork in front of her.   Silence filled the room. Not an awkward silence. But one of that both of them were comfortable with, simply having each other's presence in the same room was enough. But neither of them would admit that.   "Hey," the scientist turned towards the Solar, breaking the silence. "I found something that the old Solar left behind, and I think that you should take a look at it. I think that she left it behind for you, actually. To read."   Curious, Solar scooted beside her favourite scientist, watching as Moonbyul opened one of her wooden drawers. "What's this?" She took the little piece of folded paper
