"Alright let's see. There is so much detail in his hands. One is mechanical and another is covered in flesh but both have their own unique characteristics," Jimin writes down his observations while Rosé analyzes the boy.
JK stands there only hoping that he is being respectful of the humans in the lab. Willing to please his creator, he remained posted there enduring the harsh amount of touchiness from the three recorders despite the discomfort.
"I understand your intentions but can you guys stop grabbing him up like that? That's a little invasive," Indigo giggles from her workbench, fine tuning another piece to JK's full anatomy. Rose rolls her eyes "It's a human and a robot, how can we not be 'invasive'?" Indigo pulls the goggles from over her glasses and repositions them on her face. "I hear you. But I'm saying he needs to understand the importance of personal space and consent-" "Professor please, He doesn't even care." Jimin cuts her off. "You could see it on his face, he's not even reacting!" With that, Indigo forces her rolling chair from under the workbench and swiftly turns to them. "What did I just say?..." She asks, glaring at the three recorders almost sinisterly.
Jimin dropped the mechanical arm and it fell back at JK's side. "Sorry Indi. They're idiots," Jisoo takes a few steps back pulling them with her. "It's okay," Indigo rubs her temples. JK returns to her side scratching the back of his neck in what looked like it could be embarrassment. He sits down on the stool next to his creator like a child watching their parent, or maybe more like a pet dog watching their master. "Next time you feel uncomfortable, don't be afraid to say it, okay?" She whispers to him without looking at him. He nods. "I only wish to serve you well, Indigo," "I know, baby. You're doing great. But you can't let people take advantage of you,"
The robot didn't understand why she referred to him as 'baby'. This was the second time today she called him an infant. Yet for some strange reason, he felt a tingle whenever he heard it, making him stop himself from correcting her. A beep sent from the main office rang in the lab. Indi pulled her goggles off and removed her gloves singing "Jin's here!"
As the trio in the back continued to organize their files from their desks, Professor Jin walks in with his hands folded behind him. "Good Morning Professor," Indi says eager to greet him. "Good Morning Indi," he responds. "Here. This is a letter from the Institute of Political Forces,"
"The IPF? What do they want?" Indi asks receiving the beaming rectangular slip. Jin responds by shrugging his shoulders. With her pen, she cuts open the slip and out came a bright blue hologram that lit up the quietness of the lab. Gracing the screen was the nation's lady they all knew as:
"Halo!" Everyone's face lit up. Well, of course, everyone but JK.
Jisoo, Jimin, and Rosé lift from their seats to gather around the hologram message. JK remains in his chair darting his eyes between Indi and the image of the woman clad in all white as she begins to speak.
