Two

"He... he looks so real. "

An oncoming feeling of darkness surrounds the barely awake AI. The sounds of voices can be heard but it's barely audible and sounds like water to his ears.

He doesn't understand, why he can't seem to move, to see or to feel. He feels like he should.

"With today's technology he might as well be. Just... without an actual human heart at that."

Namjoon, with a heaviness in his chest, reaches a hand out to caress some of the hair out of the AIs forehead. Just like he used to do all the time with the real one when he would console him.

He almost flinches at the warmth he feels beneath his fingers, though still knowing it's not even real makes his heart ache just a bit.

"Are we really going through with this?" Namjoon whispers, as he gently traces his hand back and places it into his pockets. 

"Yes." Yoongi rasps out, his eyes staring determinedly at the unconscious boy in front of him.

"I've really thought deeply about this." He sighs, averting his gaze.
"If this doesn't help him in some way, then I don't know what to do."

Yoongi then straightens up, the emotions on his face clearing up as he walks towards the small boy laid out before him.

He feels shaky, and uneasy, but because just like Jin, he is the second oldest brother of everyone and he needs to stay strong for them.

Yoongi avoids looking at the AIs face, because when he does he sees shining, chocolate, eyes, crinkling into crescent moons, and the sound of a boyish giggle escaping past plump lips.

It hurts to much.

It hurts so much because he was there, and he feels deep down that he could have helped him in some way but he couldn't.

He gently touches the AIs hand, and he hears that same giggle somewhere deep in his mind, as a small figure runs towards a taller one, arms wrapping around waists and whispered words of love that can't be heard by anyone else but the set of ears they were directed to.

"Jungkook saranghae. "

And the very thought crushes his heart because they both looked so happy, and in love, and Yoongi loved them.

Yoongi grabs the AIs hand, and picks it up, squeezing it as if it were real and breathing in, finally looking at the sleeping figures face. He tries his best not to avert his eyes, because it was still painful but he withholds.

"I hope you help him," he whispers, his grip tightening some, "I hope that you can make him happy again. And that you can love him just as much. "

And his words of anguish were heard, loud and clear because without knowing he felt a squeeze back.

His breath hitches as he's staring back into chocolate brown eyes that look too real to be true. And Yoongi wants to cry.

"Wh—wh..." the AI that looks like Park Jimin tries to speak, as he's finally gaining enough energy to move, to figure out how to use his voice. Yoongi doesn't know what to do. He just stands there, his eyes widened and lips parted, a feeling of utter shock partaking over his body.

Now it's a normal thing for AI's to be created, in fact it's quite common, but Yoongi has never seen one as real looking as this particular one.

Yoongis friend, Kang,  the creator of the AI finally walks in, clipboard in hand and he's tapping his pen against it, he spots the awoken Jimin and he grins.

"Well good morning you. " he says sheepishly, walking over and sitting the AI up.

A little wobbly Jimin almost falls over, but Jin who was near by, catches and steadies him.

The room is suddenly very quiet, a certain 5 boys too shocked, to say or want to say anything.

And Jimin sits there, quietly, a foreign feeling to him is rising inside of him, stirring, and he feels like he needs to hide, or run or get away so he can try to figure out what's going on and who are all these people around him.

"He's basically got all the qualities of a real human," starts Kang as he begins his check up in the AI.

"I've spent, years perfecting and working on how to re-create the human body, hard work but looking at this, it's worth it. "

"Give me your arm please, Jimin."

And Jimin flinches, his eyes narrowing, as he grabs his arm and he holds it to his chest to protect it.

"Hey, I... it's okay. No one here is here to hurt you. " says Namjoon, finally able to say something and he gently takes a step closer.

Jimin shakes his head frantically.

"I just need your arm, i can give you something that will make you feel a lot better, and adjust to everything, okay?" 

With eyes narrowing and lips squeezing together in protest, Jimin slowly gives the strange man his arm.

"He's got a lot of attributes of human emotions also, he can figure out what seems like a dangerous emotion or situation if the setting doesn't seem right to him. "

Says Kang as he's got a serum out and injecting it into the AIs arm, Jimin yelps in surprise at the sting.

"He's also able to feel pain. "

"I've a question." Pipes a deep voice out from the back, from someone who was there the whole time but decided on staying quiet.

"Yes, Taehyung?"

"Why? I just can't seem to fully understand why you went through all this work on trying to re-create the human body? " Taehyung then licks his lips, a habit of his he can't seem to understand.

And Kang understands where he's coming from, so he just smiles and sticks his pen back into his clipboard, setting it beside Jimin.

"So that I could help" he proclaims calmly. "Just like this situation right now, all I ever wanted to do was build the best AI. It was my grandfathers biggest wish and I've come to feel as though I might have achieved that. "

But Taehyung can't stop the uneasy feeling, he can't help but feel skeptical, especially when it comes to his brother, his childhood friend Jimin. Taehyungs heart hardens, aches and longs at the same time at just the thought.

He stays quiet once again, a look of utter concentration on his face.

"J... Jimin?" 

Piques a small voice from the table. The familiar, sweet voice catches everyone's attention right away, and Kang smiles even wider.

"Yes, Jimin. Jimin is your name now, okay?"

A small light sparks through the little AIs features, and he likes the sound of that name. He likes that he can call it his own.

"Park Jimin. " says Jin, walking over and taking both of the little AIs hands into his own gently.

"From now on, you will be Park Jimin, and your going to help us save Jungkook. "
