Are You Moonbin?

15

Byeol

I opened my eyes to see that I actually slept in my lab.

I remembered how hard I worked last night to install all the new data I had to MB3. It was a lot of work.

I looked at the metal bed where MB3 was. He was still limp and nonfunctional as I haven't put back his chip.

I removed the chip from my computer and stared at it for a while.

I suddenly had a flashback of what happened last night.

"I will let MB3 come with you to Korea," I mumbled while playing with my earring.

"Really?" Manager Noh asked, surprised.

"Yes, but under strict conditions," I said while emphasizing "strict conditions".

"Alright! Whatever they are! I'm ready to comply! Thank you so much, Dr. Lee!" Manager Noh even stood up to bow at me.

"Alright, alright, Manager Noh. Stop it now. Uhm, so about MB3. Tell me about Moonbin's habits, facts, likes and dislikes, allergies, what was he like behind the cameras, everything about him," I said and focused back on the computer.

He told me everything he knew and I quickly encoded them on the computer.

After that, I let Manager Noh sleep in Moonbin's room while I continued working with the new data.

I, myself, is very unsure of this decission. But I already made it. There's no turning back.

I went near MB3 and pushed a button on his spine. This button only recognizes my finger print. I made sure that no other human could open MB3's system except me.

His head opened and I placed the chip back to where it should be.

"Reading and analyzing new data..."

I stared at MB3 while his system was reading and analyzing the new data I put in him.

MB3 is very precious to me. I couldn't afford to lose him.

"Reading and analyzing complete..."

MB3 opened his eyes and smiled at me.

"Good morning," he said.

I smiled back at him and greeted him as well.

We suddenly heard a knock on the basement's door followed by Manager Noh's voice.

"Dr. Lee? The police are here," he said.

I looked at MB3 and put a finger to my lips.

"You should keep quiet and stay here, alright? Do not leave the lab and please do not make any noise anymore," I warned him.

He gave me an 'ok' sign. I smiled at him and left the basement.

Upstairs, I saw Manager Noh with the same two police officers who went here yesterday.

"Good morning, Dr. Lee. We're here to ask another set of questions," one of them said.

"Weren't the details I told you yesterday enough? What will these be all about?" I asked as I grew a little nervous.
