yoongi received an AI to help with his condition. an AI lasts for a year. what would he do once its gone?
____________
the new year. twelve months. fifty two weeks. three sixty five days. people celebrating out there.
yoongi isnt. he isnt the 'people' they spoke about. the ones who count in anticipation to the new year, the ones who were assumed to be normal.
he sat there in silence, watching the fireworks pop in the night sky.
he had thought of every way to fix it, but alas, there was nothing else.
he turned his attention to the said AI, the one who helped him. a tear escaped, and he stubbornly wiped it away.
one year ago, his sister brought a robot into his apartment. he couldnt do much to get his sister to remove it out of his house.
that day when he first met his AI. jimin. his sister left the AI there, with yoongi. there was high hopes in her eyes as she left. hope that yoongi thought was useless. who wants to ever speak with a guy who stutters all the time?
the AI did. the electronic pixelated smile it gave off.
he told himself. no attachments. none at all. it only makes saying goodbye more painful. he resented it.
and yet his heart did it. it all started with an AI. the irony said.
and now the AI is reduced to nothing. the single tear that ran down broke the dam, the streams of tears broke free.
he stayed close to jimin the whole day, never letting him go. not even daring to sleep, for fear that he would be gone once he woke up.
he sat there, not knowing what to do.
