Chapter 3

Taehyung was asleep, leaving JK to figure out what to do with himself on his own. At first he just sat there staring into nothing and eventually he felt a dreariness come over him. He got bored. He started looking around scanning every detail of the room from where he sat until he scanned every corner. But he needed more. Just looking from a distance wasn’t enough, he was granted the ability to learn and process everything extremely fast. Unlike humans who’ll look at an object and stare at it, wondering what it could do, what it looks like, eventually gathering the small details over time. JK had already processed all of that in a matter of seconds. It was a price to pay for not being entirely human.

Eventually his curiosity got the best of him, standing from his seat and walking around, looking in every drawer, every cupboard, every corner. Eventually he started reading through the books in his room until there were none left to read. By the end of it the room was left in a slight mess, books were left out of their places, and little items such as pens, clothes and papers were scattered. He didn’t mind it though. He went back to feast from the basket only to realize there was nothing left in it, he ate all the snacks apart from the lemons, he refused to eat them again.

He sat down puzzled, he did everything he possibly could in his room and ate all his food. Was this really it? There had to be more. He read in books about many more things but it seemed like there was nothing here. So there HAD to be more.

He was snapped out of his thoughts when the door knocked, startling him of course “Taehyung? Come on you can't stay mad at me forever” the voice said, it was low and tired. The door knob shook slightly “can you please unlock the door? I made food” he said. JK stood up and attempted to open the door, surely enough it was locked, making him unlock and open the door and found a man in front of him, dark brown hair like taehyung, roughly the same height too. The look on the man's face immediately dropped however, eyes looking behind JK to Taehyung who looked completely knocked out in a deep sleep. JK watched him closely, face blank and eyes wide until he felt a harsh hit to his jaw, being knocked back a few steps.

It hurt. That was the first time he ever felt something so unpleasant since lemons.

He gently went to caress his cheek where he had been hit before the man pinned him down “how the fuck did you get in here?! What did you do to Taehyung, huh?!” The man yelled, JK groaned in response “me?? I don't understand-”

“Oh no, don't give me that. I know exactly why you're here, you think i haven’t dealt with thugs before-“ he heard a yell as he felt the weight on top of him go away.

“Hoseok?! What the fuck are you doing!?” Taehyung yelled after having shoved his own brother off him. His emotions a mix of confused, angry and tired from being woken up. JK rolled over groaning, if he was confused before, this definitely didn’t help.

“What are you talking about? there's an INTRUDER in your room! He could’ve hurt you!” Hoseok said back, hopping onto his feet, crouched on the ground ready to pounce at any moment. Taehyung immediately went to JK’s side, looking at his face. “Oh god i'm sorry, are you ok? Disoriented? Do you understand me? God, i hope he didn't knock anything out of place” he mumbled cupping the androids face and looking at him closely, ignoring his brother.

Hoseok stared, visible confusion on his face. “You… know him…?” His eyes widened “have you been bringing this boy home with you? Taehyung what did I tell you about bringing strangers-”

“Hoseok!” he interrupted “this is the android I was talking about, his name is JK” Taehyung said, clearly pissed. This didn’t seem to clear anything up for hoseok at all, though. If anything it confused him more. “Wait, that… that’s the android?” He grimaced.
