Chapter 10

"What is that?" I asked curiously as Sunwoo scrolled his finger through a sky blue tinted projected screen. "The map of the laboratory, it's huge. I need to know our exact directions so we don't get lost." He responded, not sparing a glance at me since he was absorbed in the static building displayed. "That's the lobby right?" I asked, he nodded in agreement at my index finger. "We can't just enter from the entrance though.." I threw my head bad on the cotton of the bed, rolling my orbs whilst I was seated on the floor. The projector Sunwoo clutched began creating static noise, the display formed glitches, cracking up. Sunwoo furrowed his eyebrows, peering at the screen. I grimaced, awaiting something to take place.

"Greetings." At that, Sunwoo tossed the projector promptly, his reaction displayed disturbance. Bluish screen cut into a blank display, being only audible. "I introduce myself as file 2000." The voice spoke monotonously, glitching infrequently. I scooted to Sunwoo, enclosing the space separating us while staring in fright at the projector. "We have been experiencing various system errors, to which most occurred from your doings. We threaten you to surrender to program 2000, we don't want you to be tests of our mass destruction projects. Repeating, there is no escape from-" Sunwoo got up from abreast of me, walking in fury to the projector before stepping on it in aggression, smashing it. The voice was interrupted by Sunwoo's kicks, whom didn't put an end to his actions until the electronic was in shards. I shielded my head, flinching at every sound radiating from the destruction Sunwoo was prevailing on. "Sunwoo, enough!" I yelled, my eyelids holding shut. Sunwoo declined my pleads, inducing for me to hurriedly get up, enrobing his wrists with my hands. Sunwoo looked at me from behind the hair hooding his eyes. He didn't dare to utter a word, seemingly unstable. "Sunwoo, it's destroyed, you don't have to keep going." My hand snuck to his cheek, my thumb skimming over it. I stared with a look of sympathy. "That was my mother's voice." He said rather quietly, my heart sunk as my lips parted. "So.. that's what you meant by corrupted, huh?" I fixated my vision on him once again, his shoulders dropped. I took that as a positive response. "This doesn't sound good to me, I suggest we leave now." My hand fell from his face, he clutched my wrist, placing it next to me. Abandoning me and heading to grab his pipe from the bathroom.

"Sunwoo?" I yelled from afar in the open streets, my vision exhibiting the sight of him piercing his melee through the glass skull of the droid. "Sunwoo!" I yelled once again, sprinting towards him. "I'm here." He spoke, at last turning to my direction. "You're acting weirdly." I placed my hands on my kneecaps, attempting to regulate my breathing. "Okay." He responded shortly, walking ahead of me once again. I let out an exceedingly audible sigh. "Wait!" I yelled once again.

"Do you even know where we're going?" I asked, furrowing my eyebrows. "The laboratory." He answered dryly, his eyes seemingly spiritless. "Which entrance? How will we enter unnoticed?" I asked, digging through his plan. "Oh no, you won't come. I'm going alone." He answered rather briskly. "What?" I exclaimed, Clutching Sunwoo's arm for him to pause his steps. "You're not coming, I'm putting an end to that program myself." He raised his voice more harshly. "Yeah, have you gotten enough sleep?" I asked sarcastically stuffing my hands in my pocket. "I'll need a rope, a hook, tape.." Sunwoo muttered to himself. "You're weird." I mouthed, he grimaced at me. "Are you coming?" He asked, extending his hand. I furrowed my eyebrows. "Weren't you a loner two minutes ago?" I asked, clasping his hand. "I still am, we need to visit a post or something." He stated, my heart sunk in exhaustion. "Lead the way." I proposed.
