IMMORTAL CYBORG || LEE HONGBIN

CHAPTER 15

Taekwoon walked towards the balcony of his room after he woke up from his sleep. He watched the trees and sound of the wind. He was thinking about the dream that he had last night. When he was about to close the balcony door, someone knocked the door and it was Hongbin.

"Wassup." Hongbin sat at the edge of the table near the door and looked at Taekwoon. He raised his eyebrows signed Hongbin to continue. "Well, I will invite someone to come, so I need you guys to sit at the lab for a few hours..by that I mean I will set you guys so you're having a nice dream there." He showed an ok sign to Taekwoon but he didn't respond.

"Lee Hongbin." He called Hongbin before he sat at the edge of his bed, facing Hongbin. "I dreamed last night.."

Hongbin frowned. "And?"

"There's a girl." Taekwoon stared at the floor and tried to remember her face in his dream "Short hair, light brown eyes, wearing a necklace.." He touched his finger that had a ring, which he felt so special that he kept wearing it. "..the shape was exactly the same with this ring that I wear."

Hongbin stared at him seriously. How can everyone start to remember a piece of their life. "So..?"

"She looked like she was looking for something. At the end she turned to face me, a name came into my mind." Taekwoon faced Hongbin.

"Wh..who?" Hongbin clenched his fist as the name came from Taekwoon's mouth.

"Han Yejin." Hongbin acted calm and decided to leave him but Taekwoon stopped him by grabbing his hand. He immediately turned.

"I have wor-"

"Who..is she? Why do I feel like we have known each other? Why was that name came into my mind as I looked at her face? Hongbin-ah, do you have to keep everything just because we are cyborgs now? We don't deserve to know our normal life anymore?"

"The difference that you guys have will be the biggest obstacle to overcome. The more far you guys from humans, the more safer you are. Otherwise, you might not become immortal just like what you wished for. Its either become immortal, or, vanished."

Hongbin's words made him let his hands off. He knew that there's no such thing as turned the time back and wished that everything like this had never happened. As he already gave his life, he should take whatever has planned for him. He knew that Hongbin is almost becoming the God to cyborgs. They can only depend on him as he's the only one who created and set everything for them.

"Are you regret that you are now a cyborg?"

"Then what about you? Are you regret that you changed people's life like this?" Hongbin froze at his counterattack.

"Heeyoung-ah, are you done?" Minseo opened the door of her daughter's room and watched her getting ready to go to the comic company. "You're pretty. Come let's go, your father has already in the car, seems so excited to see his daughter's dream comes true."

Heeyoung chuckled and nodded. She looked at the mirror for the last time before she held her mom's hands and went downstairs. Its not only the day for her dream to come true but also the day she will finally meet Hongbin's parents.

Heeyoung got a text last night as she was re-checking her comic for the last time. She stopped looking at the laptop and searched her phone at the bed.

-Are you sleeping?-

"No I'm still wide awake, worried about tomorrow."

-You will be good don't worry. I want to invite you to meet my parents tomorrow, after your meeting with the company.-

"Omg, jinjja? (really?) Okay I will call you after I've done with the meeting. Thanks sunbae!"

-Anything for you, love you.-

She played with her hair and smiled. As soon as she saw her father in the car, she noticed that her father was smiling so widely.

"I can't imagine the second happiest day in my life has come. You're pretty, dear" Hyunwook hugged his daughter tightly. They released the hug and she asked.

"Why is it the second happiest day? What's the first?" She waited happily and he grabbed her hands.

"The day we walk through the aisle and see your brightest smile" She almost felt touched and held her tears. "Hey don't cry, you're ruining your face." Her mom looked at them proudly.

"You're making me cry," She sobbed and hugged him again before they got into the car. While in the car she called Eunwoo to tell him.

"Hello silly"

"Yah, I'm on my way to achieve my dream ahhhh I'm so happy" She giggled and laughed, she heard him chuckled and felt like he's also laughing.

"Good luck silly, imagine I'm giving you a pat at the head so you will not get too nervous. I have to tell you that I'll be extremely busy this month and this might be our last call, but you can text me after you've done today okay?"

She pouted and nodded "Okay take a rest if you're tired don't force yourself. I will text you after I've done, Byeee" She ended the call and hummed to the song that she heard from the radio.

The meeting went well and they agreed to take her as their artist so she signed a contract. She ran towards her parents and hugged them tightly. She saw both of them cried and she held their hands tightly. Finally she can make them proud of their only daughter.

"I'll treat you your favorite jjajangmyeon." Hyunwook rubbed his daughter's back and they laughed.

While on the road, she texted both Eunwoo and Hongbin, but both of them didn't read it yet so she just waited and looked outside the window, feeling grateful that everything went so well. But, nobody can say that it will be a full happy day.

"Jagi, (sweetheart,) please search inside the box if there's any blue fold-" Hyunwook turned when suddenly-

"APPPAA" He looked at his right and a big truck was speeding up towards them and felt like they were froze there, they can only shut their eyes when the truck hit the car like an empty can.

The car was pushed with a huge impact and rolled over a few times. The car finally stopped but it was turned over and a dark smoke slowly coming out from the engine. All of them were trapped inside and silence filled the air. Heeyoung moved her finger and was holding something, her phone. She can't move her body but she's conscious. She felt like her body was trapped because the car was flipped over.

A few cars stopped at the roadside and rushed to the wrecked car. People were trying to help them and noticed that Heeyoung started to whine. So they helped her first and put her aside. She tried her best to open her eyes but her sight were too blurry.

"Appa..eomma..you're fine right.." She saw people were trying to get them out but failed. She also heard a few voices near her.

"I think they're gone, they're not breathing! Put the girl on the ambulance first when it arrives later." A man shouted to people who were watching over Heeyoung. She let her tears fell and tried to wake up but people were stopping her. She also can't talk as it was so pain for her as she sat behind her father and the truck was coming at their direction so the impact on her was too powerful. She blinked her eyes and forced to let it open but she's too weak. The last thing she saw was her parents's bodies and that might be the last thing she can see- in this world.
