BECOMING HUMAN

CHAPTER 42

On his break, Jungkook spent his lunch in the kitchen, where he could be alone. He was still quite troubled about the mysterious man whom he had met on his way back home the other day. Who was watching him? And how much danger would Aurora have been in, if say, Jungkook gets involved?

It was only a matter of time before the AI had his first panic attack.

I could use a little comforting... He thought.

Jungkook texted Aisha a while ago, letting her know where he'd be. He was hoping that she got the memo.

Scrolling through his news feed, Jungkook noticed an interesting headline. It was a picture of the man that he had met.

Dr. Kim Seokjin successfully hosts a meet and greet with a total off 7,000 people attending!

Amazed by the article, he decided to click on it.

Lost in his search, Aisha appears, startling the AI. Jungkook immediately shuts the app and settles the device on the table. "Aisha!"

"Jungkook, I'm sorry I didn't respond." Sitting down next to him, she settled her food in front of her. "Did I interrupt you from something?"

"Oh, no—no, I was just looking through my feed. Just looking into an event that happened a few days ago..."

"An event? I heard a couple of them happened. Which one did you read?"

"Oh, it was the one about this man...named Dr. Kim Seokjin. I met him the other day, so seeing this article now intrigued me..."

"Dr. Kim?!" Aisha gasped. "Oh my gosh, I love him! And you got to meet him?!" Jumping up in her seat, the girl grabbed Jungkook's hand. "How did you get to meet him?!"

"I was coming from buying my little sister a phone. I then saw a massive group of girls waiting at the entrance of a store. I spoke to some of them, asking what the event was for since I saw a long line...and he soon appeared."

"And I missed it!" Aisha cried. "I can't believe I knew about his appearance, but I couldn't make it to his event! I'm so jealous..." The girl whimpered. "...did you at least get an autograph?"

"To be honest..." Jungkook laughed reluctantly. "I didn't think of asking for one."

"Oh...man!" Aisha slumped in her chair. "...I guess I'll just have to wait until the next date..."

"If you want, maybe I can go and ask him for one?"

Looking at Jungkook, Aisha gaped. "Can you?"

The AI shrugged. "I probably can."

"But, how?"

"Well..." Jungkook slipped his hand into his pocket, pulling out his wallet. Retrieving a card from it, he looked at it. "He gave me his contact card."

Aisha's eyes widened. Her heart began to race with excitement. "He seriously gave you his number?! What the heck! What did you do to make him even notice you?!"

Jungkook wanted to answer that question, but he suddenly remembered the conversation he had with Dr. Kim. It was a rather odd one, and the thought of endangering his master was the last thing he wanted to do. Rather than talking about it, he decided to keep quiet and began eating his meal.

Aisha felt bad for pressing this topic on the male. She glanced down at her lunch and sighed. "...I'm sorry."

Glancing at her, Jungkook furrowed an eyebrow. "For what?"

"I'm probably just annoying you with all these questions...I'm just happy for you. I honestly wish that Dr. Kim would treat me the way he treated you. But famous people can't know everybody, right?" Aisha chuckled pitifully. "I'm a nobody, either way. I'm not even that important."
