Ghost of you |jikook|✔️

Nineteen

It was almost like finally being able to breathe.

As if you've been holding in your breath for so many months—without taking a breather at all.

Relief.

That is how Yoongi felt, as he glanced through the rear view. His eyes catching on caramel hair and doe eyes that by now hold so many dark pasts.

He called me hyung.

Just the sound of it made Yoongi gleam in happiness and he wanted to cry.

But;

He wouldn't.

He would not shed any more tears, instead he would focus his attention on the AI beside him and the maknae in the back.

So he quickly glanced next to the bot on the passenger seat as he stopped at a red light.

"So, inform me as to how you managed to hurt yourself?" He asked, as he watched the bot twitch.

"Oh!—I fell down the hill with Jungkook." Smiled Jimin, and Yoongi raised an eyebrow.

"I-it was an accident..." said a soft voice from the back.

Jimin only turned around and gave Jungkook a small smile before sitting forward.

"I might have been a little clumsy the first week or two after I was created, and Dr.Kang said that since I was the first successful Real.Me Bot—there might be some difficulties along the first few weeks. I guess this is just one of them."

"Real.Me?" Questioned Jungkook, raising an eyebrow.

"Oh!—real.me is what he named the first prototype:

Aka, me."

Jimin then sighed as he fiddled with his sleeve and sitting back in his chair.

It was because he was the first prototype, he didn't have a lot of good memories.

Meaning, he was the one most of the experiments were involved to check if he was safe.

Also meaning, he remembers how it felt like when they were connecting nerves, and making him feel pain for the very first time.

He had a different body before, before his data and memories was moved into the one of Park Jimin look alike.

Though, the one he had before was way more robotic, and metal, and everything stiff—back then, he just felt like an empty shell.

This one was able to move more freely, and it was quite odd that he was able to feel pain.  In fact, a lot about this certain body made the AI confused and made him question a lot of things.

Jimin also felt as though certain data and memories were wiped out or blocked completely—this making him uneasy around Kang.

He didn't want his data to be wiped again. He genuinely enjoyed those around him—especially Jungkook.

"—Hey, were here."

Jimin lifted his head and eyed the building in front of him.

If only I took better care of myself, then I wouldn't have to be back.

As they got out, Jimin reached for Jungkooks hand.

His hand seemed to bring him closure, and if he didn't let go then Kang didn't have the chance to wipe his memory again.

Jungkook smiled warmly at Jimin.

"Ready?"  No.

Jimin nodded, and he smiled back, the smile didn't reach his eyes though.
