❝I'm just a robot

_______________________________________________________________________________

                                   I'M JUST A ROBOT, I HAVE NO FEARS. I LACK EMOTIONS & I SHED NO TEARS . I'M JUST A COMA, A DEADLY SLEEP.  MY HEART IS BREAKING BUT I JUST CAN'T WEEP.

JIEUN - POINT OF VIEW .

(A/N: Listen to Robot by Never Shout Never..thats where the depressing quote is from this time xD it matches the story perfectly omg)

Soohyuk and I were busy talking while Yongguk was watching war movies. Thats actually the only thing about the old Yongguk that remained the same. Ahjusshi left me a voicemail from a private number saying ,"Only you have the voice, the ability to get his heart back. Sing, Jieun-ah. Sing."

What does that even mean? Is Ahjusshi being metaphoric, or does he mean it, literally ?

"Remember our senior year?" Soohyuk asked, eyeing Yongguk. We were purposely talking loudly about our school days to somehow help him remember. But Yongguk remained on pokerface mode.

"Ah, ne! Remember..uhm, Gikwang?" I asked

Yongguk turned around, poker-faced and speaking monotone, "Who's Gikwang."

I widened my eyes a little. This is the first time he talks since the visit. But why now ?

"Lee Gikwang, from high school. Jieun's boyfriend." Soohyuk said casually. I elbowed him and pinched his nose.

"Jieun's boyfriend(?)."  I was assuming this was a question.

I shook my head, "Aniyo, only in high school."

"So you two..dated?" Yongguk faced me. Those eyes still as lonely as the day of the breakup.

I nodded, "Yeah..waeyo?"

Instead of responding, he turned his head back to the TV screen, exhaling loudly from his nose. Whats gotten into him? Hmf. I'll have to observe him carefully. For once, I thought he was actually interested in something. Maybe this is a sign...

Soohyuk noticed us, "Hey, Ji, can I talk to you for a sec?"

I nodded and followed him out the door. We were in the alleyway, hidden from Yongguk's view.

"Please tell me you noticed that too." he said.

"What do you mean by that ?" I raised an eyebrow, hoping we were on the same page.

"Y'know...Yongguk. The whole 'Who's Gikwang?' thing. It's obvious something triggered his thoughts."

"So what should we do now?" I asked, hoping he'd come up with an idea.

"Well...since we were talking about Gikwang...ask Hyo to bring him over."

It's official. Gikwang was signed up to help us with Yongguk, aka our 'problem'. Thanks to Hyosung, his secret girlfriend, I have permission to reenact our last year of high school. I hope Yongguk pays attention to us, or this plan would be useless.

Gikwang called, "Yah~ Jieun, I'm in front of Soohyuk's apartment."

Yongguk turned around when I started running towards the door, "GIKWANGG~! It's been so long! I missed you!"

We hugged for about five minutes until Yongguk's loud -fake- cough was heard. I smiled to myself, feeling accomplished. He was definitely paying attention.

"Yongguk, this is Gikwang, from high school." I smiled, gesturing towards Gikwang.

At that moment, Yongguk turned around, poker-faced, but slight bitterness seen in his eyes. I don't care if he's bitter ; its better
