Are You Moonbin?

14

Byeol

I kept pacing back and forth inside our room as I try to calm myself. Anxiety has overcome me when MB3 decided for himself.

This is not the first time. But it is the first time that he made this kind of big decission. He's putting his life (technically) in danger.

To be honest, MB3 is the first ToBe Robot. He was made to keep me company. He was programmed to be my boyfriend, to live with me, and stay with me.

This is driving me crazy.

"Byeolie, open the door," I heard MB3 knocking.

I ignored him and kept pacing around.

Suddenly, the door clicked open. I saw MB3 holding the master key of our bedroom.

"Byeolie, let's talk," MB3 said.

"If you're just going to scold me or try to convince me to let you go to Korea, just leave," I said while pointing at the door.

I don't know but MB3's decission made me furious and anxious.

"Byeol, please. Listen to me," MB3 said as he held both of my hands.

"MB3!" I yelled at him.

I was taken aback because of the sudden rise of my own voice.

It was also the first time I referred to him as his model and not as 'Moonbin'.

I gathered my consciousness and put a hand on his face.

"You listen to me. You may look like the real Moonbin, but you are just a robot. You are not him. Moonbin has a very small chance of surviving. And if you go and you get caught...you will only put yourself into danger. You will put me into danger. And the ToBe Project..." I told him.

This time it was MB3 who cupped my face.

"Trust me, Byeol. Trust your work. I can do this. I promise, I won't get caught. We have to save Astro, especially Moonbin," he said while looking straight to my eyes.

I pondered on what he said.

To save Astro, especially Moonbin.

I removed his hands from my face and hung my head low.

"I need some more time to think," I said and left him.

As I went outside our bedroom, I saw that Manager Noh was not in the kitchen anymore. He must have left.

I went to the room where Moonbin was and before I could enter, I heard Manager Noh from inside.

"Bin, can you hear me? They said people under comma can still hear people talking..."

I was about to leave when I heard him sob.

"What am I supposed to do now?"

I stopped on my track and leaned my ear to the door to hear his words better.

"Can't you just wake up now? Get up and let's go home. The boys are waiting for you. Arohas are waiting for you."

I couldn't help but cry, myself.
