BECOMING HUMAN

CHAPTER 36

Letting the door shut, Aurora glanced at Jungkook. "Jungkook, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing master, don't worry about me," The AI insisted, taking the girl along. "I'm just thinking."

Aurora frowned. "You've had that look on your face the entire time I've been here. Is your boss doing something to you that I don't know about?"

Jungkook's eyes widened. Thankfully, the tomboy could not see his expression since she was walking behind him, although trying to keep up at a slow pace. "N-No..." Jungkook stuttered. "It's nothing like that..." Jungkook rummaged through his pockets. His eyes lit up, feeling a bracelet in his pocket. Taking it out, he recognized it as the gift that Aisha had made for his master. "Master—" The AI turns around, stopping Aurora in her tracks.

"What is it?" Aurora glanced at the hand that Jungkook held out to her.

"Here," Opening his fist, he held the bracelet before the girl's face with his index finger and thumb. "Aisha had wanted me to give this to you."

Taking the bracelet, Aurora looked at it in awe. "It looks so..."

"Beautiful?" Jungkook finished.

"Expensive." Aurora corrected.

Just examining how the jewelry sparkled in the light, the gold and the karats crystallized with perfection—Aurora wondered how much did it cost to buy this. "Jungkook...is it really okay for me to..."

"She wanted to give it to you as a gift."

"...okay," Aurora puts it on. "I have to go thank her for it."

"She will be at the next photo shoot. That's the project that I have to participate in. We should hurry. They're going to start momentarily."

"Okay."

Once they've arrived at the studio, Jungkook found a seat for Aurora. He placed his jacket around it, having the girl follow him. "She's over here."

"I-I have to thank her now?!"

Stopping, the boy looked at her. "Would you like to do it after?"

"Y-Yeah..." The tomboy rubs the back of her head. "...only because you guys are about to start. I don't want to get in the way."

"That's fine. It shouldn't be a problem. You can wait over there, in the meantime, mast—"

Aurora scrambled over to Jungkook, covering his mouth. "Don't call me master, Jungkook!" She hissed. "Everyone's going to find it weird that you call me that when I'm supposed to be your 'little sister!'"

"Oh, that is true," Jungkook lowers her hand from his mouth. "What should I call you then?"

Aurora paused for a moment. "What should you call me...?" She repeats unsure.

"We're about to begin guys, come on!" Jordique shouts.

Taking Aurora's hands, Jungkook smiled. "Think about it and tell me after." Parting from her, he went onto the set.

Aurora held herself. "Look at him...already so grown up. He even walks away now without asking for my permission." The girl chuckled modestly. Taking her seat where Jungkook kept his jacket, she relaxed. She felt somewhat awkward. As they begin posing in front of the white screen, the girl didn't know whether she should look at the models or the photographers. She just kept her eyes glued to Jungkook. Aurora was impressed with how talented everyone was. Jungkook of course surprised her the most. Who would have thought that this AI had a natural touch for being such a handsome and cute model? He didn't even need makeup.
