Too Perfect (Jensoo)

Episode 2

"We are moving!" Jennie announces as soon as dawn comes up in the morning.

I grumble and turn away, pulling the blankets over my head.

She scoffs and hits me. "Stop being a big baby Jisoo!"

I keep the covers closed and close my eyes tightly.

"OH MY GOD JISOO! I FUCKING SWEAR THAT I WILL GIVE YOU A BACKWARD ARM IF YOU DON'T COME OUT RIGHT NOW!"

I flip the blanket over and glare at her. "You wouldn't."

She smirks. "I would. Just to piss you off."

I huff out a breath and stand in front of her. She crosses her arms.

"How come I don't need to be charged?" I ask.

She raises her hand. "May I?"

I smile that she asks consent and I nod.

She tilts my head to the side, exposing my neck and presses her finger to there. I hear the familiar humming motion before Jennie says, "Your battery is here. Whenever you walk or run, it converts your mechanical and kinetic energy into electrical energy." I hear the humming slowly fade as she moves her hand away. Then she turns me around and presses her finger to the top of my head. "You are also powered all over you head by microscopic solar panels that offer a supplemental power as a backup and additional energy for your body.

She steps away and I ask, "So I'm basically a human. Except I can't eat or use water."

Jennie nods. "Yes. I designed you that way." Her expressive eyes move over me. "I really am genius."

I cross my arms. "Can you tell me why we're moving?"

Her expression goes serious. "No. We're moving and that's final. I already packed a few days before powering you on. We're moving to California."

"But that's across the country—"

"It doesn't matter. We are going to live there so....." her sentence trails off and she sighs. "I'm so tired," she mutters.

I frown. "What happened?"

"I was about to tell you to get ready, which involves a bath, but that's basically telling you to go and k*** yourself."

"I can change my clothes," I say and start to lift my shirt up.

She widens her eyes and stops me quickly. "What are you doing?!"

"Changing," I reply simply.

"No!" She says in a high pitched voice. "And never take off your clothes in front of me!"

I raise an eyebrow. "Are you telling me that you never slept with your wife?"

She rolls her eyes and pushes me, making me stumble a little. "I messed up a lot in my programming. You are way too cocky than my wife."

I sit on the bed. "What was your wife like?"

Jennie hesitates before saying, "I don't know if I want to talk about her." She looks away and clears her throat. "Get up! Our plane leaves in 2 hours!"

"Our plane leaves at 12, Jennie," I state plainly. "It is 10."
