Seoul: Become Human (BTS J-Hope X OC)

Ch. 8 (Part 1)- Manhunt

J-Hope's POV
"Get me another beer!" Mr. Go slurred at me, throwing an arm over the side of his chair.

"Of course sir," I bowed before retrieving another can from the refridgerator. When I handed it to him, he snatched it from my hand roughly and glared at me, but I'd grown accustomed to such looks. He cracked it open and proceeded to drink.

That's when I heard the phone ring from his room. While he was distracted by his beverage I walked into the room where the sound came from and looked at the caller I.D. It was Minjee.

I made my way back into the living room and stopped in front of Mr. Go, "You have an incoming call from Minjee-"

"Don't you say her name!" He rose from his chair unsteadily, "Don't say that! That's my daughter, and you don't deserve to say her name!"

I bowed, "Your daughter is calli-"

"What did I just say?" he snapped, "don't say her name, don't say what she is, don't even talk to me about her!"

NEW TASK:
DO NOT MENTION MINJEE

The phone stopped ringing a while later, but promptly picked back up again. I had no choice but to ignore it, as I was no longer allowed to touch his phone or any other belonging of his- besides fetching his beer.

It stopped for the second time and stayed silent, all the while, Mr. Go was spouting nonsense and slurring curses.

And that's when a SMS appeared from my control channel that read, 'Jope! Help! I'm scarred!'

It seemed as though my thereom pump glitched as it pumped faster in my chest. That feeling of concern from before leapt up, but it was much stronger this time.

I leaned towards Mr. Go instinctively, but as soon as I opened my mouth, the message popped up.

TASK:
DO NOT MENTION MINJEE

I'm not sure why I groaned, but after I did, I replied to the message as soon as possible. "Minjee, what's the matter? Is there something wrong?"

I awaited a response, but after around fifteen minutes, I assumed she was in danger and could not reply.

My thereom pump was running at an unusual rate, and I could feel it beating against the walls of my chest. To remove the sudden burst of energy that had plagued me, I paced back and forth around the living room.

While I calculated my next move carefully, Mr. Go said something strange.

"...Assholes... they can't touch me. They couldn't even do anything to me if they wanted to."

I spun around, and I gave a curious glare while he tossed back his head and drained the can of its last drops.

"May I ask who?" I inquired.

"Why does it matter to you?" He pulled himself up from his chair and stumbled towards his room.

I could feel my patience running dry, "Mr. Go, if you've done something I need to know about, it would be in your best interest to tell me."

"You really wanna know don'cha?" He threw his spiteful gaze towards me, "I went to get a loan, alright? They called me Sunday night, but they didn't do nothin' to me. That's why I said that. You know what though?" he put a finger to his chin, "They called back and said they'd do something in three days if I didn't pay up... You know when that was?? Sunday! And what's today? Wednesday! And they still can't do shit!" He tossed his head back and laughed, then disappeared into his room.

I don't know what it was. I didn't know why I couldn't stop it. I didn't know what came over me, or what I was thinking when I charged into his room and approached him with an intent to hurt him.

He was turned to his bed when I walked in, but I quickly grabbed hold of his shoulders and spun him towards me, "What? What did you say you've done?"

"I went to loan sharks, dumbass. You didn't understand the first time? I thought androids were supposed to know everything."

Some unknown force grabbed a hold of my arm and reeled it back into a fist as I lost complete control of my own body. I could feel my biocomponents whirling inside me and error messages sprinkling my vision as I stared at him, who simply stared back with an amused look playing across his face.

I clutched onto what little power I had left and gradually pulled my fist back down to my side. The error notifications vanished one by one.

"Do you even know the extent of what you've done? You've put everyone in danger, including-"

TASK
DO NOT MENTION MINJEE

I swallowed the rest of my words despite my overflowing rage and released him carelessly, "Tell me who you went to."

"No," was all he said.

"Tell. Me." I growled.

"No."

"TELL ME!"

He leaned in, "I'd never bow down to an android. Never. Now, get out."

NEW TASK:
LEAVE MR. GO'S ROOM

I turned on my heel and exited against my will.

I had never experienced a more negative feeling. I wanted to do more than just destroy things. I wanted to tell him how utterly idiotic and unreasonable he was being. I wanted to hurt him until he understood. There was never a time I felt more disappointed for being me. An android. A walking, talking peice of plastic.

I clenched my teeth and squeezed my eyes shut until I could block out the rest of the world. Then I thought.
And thought.

And thought.

I sat like this for hours, until I finally reached a conclusion that I deemed worthy, and headed out to accomplish a mission. My own mission.

NEW TASK:
FIND MINJEE

I immediately left without any permission to the one place I knew would welcome me. The only other people outside of my host family that I could trust. Jiae, Minjee's best friend, and her android.

I knocked as loudly as I could and awaited a response.

The door creaked open a few seconds later, and a familiar curious head peaked out. The android's eyes swiped me up and down, then a smile spread warmly across his face.

"J-Hope! Long time, no see. How may I assist you?"

My gaze burned into his, "Jimin... I need your help."

A/N: Hey hey hey!! Welcome back! I know this chapter may have seemed shorter than usual, but that's because it's going to be broken into three parts! That means two things: unfortunately, shorter chapters, but fortunately, less time between each chapter. This is going to be a wild bumpy ride, so hang on to your seats folks! We're just getting started!
