¤"welcome to the land of the living Kim Taehyung"¤

The creation sat alone criss-crossed on his perfectly smooth floor. It was really boring and he had nothing to do except sit and think. The creator had not come back since then. He received his meals through a slot in the door and he never needed anything else.

He thought in his "innocent" mind that it was quite unjustifiable to leave him trapped alone for hours on end. He just didn't think it right considering the maker was proud of his masterpiece.

He knew the difference between right and wrong, or so he thought. He just knew he didn't like to be left alone especially after he was praised from his "lord."

So he sat on the floor knees pressed to the ground looking at the door obediently waiting for anything. Time passed, well it rather seemed to freeze because each tick of the clock seemed to be getting further and further apart.

One tick, he tapped the floor with his finger, two ticks, he continued tapping, ... 1995 katrillion ticks later the tip of his finger was numb from the constant tapping.

The slight tap of expensive shoes on polished floors awakened his dormant senses. He crawled forward to the door. The slot at the bottom of the simple door opened and a lunchbox plopped in. The creature reached his hand through the slot before it slid shut earning a few curse words from the older as he tries to smash the arm back into the room.

"Please remove your arm" the creator sighed. He couldn't exactly slide the door shut until he was forced to pull back his arm, the sheet metal was sharp and might actually slice a good chunk of his arm off.

The creature didn't say anything he instead reached further out his shoulder painfully pressed against the door while his fingers grazed the ground. He found the dress shoes then proceed to find the ankle. He grabbed on with a right fist.

"I have work to do. I can't play your games" his creator touched his wrist running his finger tips over his exposed flesh in a soothing manner trying to relax his fingers into letting go. If anything the creature tightened his grip.

He took a deep sigh. He really had to get to work on writing his presentation, then the speech for his Noble Prize even though the convention was months away and there were plenty of other candidates that deserves recognition. He could observe his creatures behavior while he does other work for other labs and finishing his report having evidence to conclude that his creature was fully functional.

"I promise if you let go I will let you out" he finally said. The creatures arm wobbled slightly before retreating back inside the room.

He stood up straightening his dress slacks he brushed off the creases left by the monsters crooked fingers. He slid a brass key in the knob and with a flick of his wrist the door was unlocked. He pulled it open to the naked creature. He still had that stupid white sheet draped around one shoulder tied in a knot making him appear to be a Greek god that had been run over by a few too many chariots in his lifetime.

"Follow me" he said cooly as he strolled down the hallway. It was odd that the creature decided to cover himself when it was so much more comfortable to be nude.

To the creature it seemed Namjoon was sliding on his walking swiftly and smoothly down the hallway. He kept having trouble with his sheet so he opted to carry it holding it in bunches around his waists.

"Creature" his maker called. He grunted in reply walking into a room after him. "Why do you cover yourself?" he sat down at a wooded desk that seemed extravagant. He took out a blue notebook with yellowed pages and took down a few notes. "You know this book holds your creation. You can think of it like a bible of sorts" he thumbed through the pages until he landed on the particular pages containing information about the creatures parts and making. He wrote down intelligence and underneath it self awareness based off of seeing reflection.

"Hmm?" he looked at the creature who was examining his organized mess.

"I am naked" was his reply hiding most of his body in the sheet he consciously pulled the one strap higher to cover himself.

"But why do you feel the need to cover yourself?" he asked as his black pen tumbled out of his fingers. He folded his hands and leaned forward seeking for his answer.

"You said I am created in your image. If you find it humiliating to go naked then why shouldn't I feel humiliation as well" he said it in question form, but it be did not seem to need an answer.

"Good point. You can sit in that leather seat" Namjoon pointed to a chair in the corner of the room. The creature went over to it and sat waiting for further instructions except there were none.

Not a single word was spoken between the two of them for several hours as the creature sat and the master worked. At one point he got a laptop out and started typing away. The creature watched him work with amazed eyes. His creator was a smart one.

The maker suddenly stood up and walked to a nearby counter containing several office electronics. The machines came alive. One printed out a thick set of documents while the other printed out a small piece of plastic. He also had already sent information to a guy about getting a fake passport made.

He took the items and slid them into a yellow folder and placed them in his bag. He went up to the creature kneeling down to eye level he stuck out his hand. Indicating with his eyes to take the hand. Which the creature did wry.

"Welcome to the land of the living Kim Taehyung" with a sly grin he shook the creatures hand.
