BECOMING HUMAN

CHAPTER 44 (ANNOUNCEMENTS AT THE END!)

Poor Aurora.

Jungkook wasted no time in running to the store to buy Aurora a pack of pads.

Logan in the meantime had sent Aurora to bathe while he cleaned the sheets of her bed.

Aurora was mortified and terribly embarrassed.

What other words could describe the tomboy's distress right now?

Humiliated.

Chagrined.

Abashed.

Aurora could not face herself. She stood in the shower, watching as the blood continued to flow into the drainer. She was too scared to even touch herself.

I...I can't believe my period actually came...while I was sleeping with my boyfriend. She thought.

But no matter how many times she repeated those words in her head, it was so intangible. It just couldn't be grasped.

When Jungkook had returned, he noticed that Logan had already replaced her old sheets with new ones.

"I had spares in my apartment. The ones previously on the bed are washing right now in cold water. They should be done in an hour or two."

"Right." Jungkook held the bag of pads as he walked to the bathroom. He didn't expect any response, but knocked anyways.

Hearing nothing from the girl, Jungkook opened the door, announcing his presence.

"Master," He began. I brought you some pads...and underwear."

Aurora was still in the shower, feeling displaced.

"Master..." Jungkook spoke up. "Do you need help?"

"N-No, Jungkook." Aurora said through her tears. "I don't need any help!"

"Well," Jungkook hangs the bag on the towel rack. "I did some mental research, and it is important that you wash properly, and don't stay in the water too long. It isn't good for you, especially since it's your first—"

"I get it, Jungkook, oh my god!" She cried. "Just leave me alone!"

The last thing Aurora needed was a guy telling her how to treat her body—even if it was an AI.

Nodding, Jungkook breathed. "As you wish." Closing the door behind him, Aurora felt a sense of relief from his exiting.

Standing for a few more minutes, Aurora grabbed the soap and began cleaning herself.

Logan watched as Jungkook came into the room and looked around.

"Yes?" Logan furrowed an eyebrow.

"I'm just making sure my master didn't drop any blood stains on the ground."

"Oh," Logan didn't think of that. "That's smart."

They both looked around together, making sure that not a drop of blood was seen.

When Aurora came out of the shower, she wiped herself thoroughly but was bewildered to see that there was still blood coming out. It was as though her washing of the lower region meant absolutely nothing!

She wiped once more, and then again, and then another time, until she had enough. Drying her inner thighs, Aurora whipped out the new underwear Jungkook had gotten her and tore a new pack of pads open. She assembled and put them on together, until the panty line snatched her waist.

Dropping the towel on the floor, Aurora snags another one from the rack and wraps it around her armpits. Leaving the bathroom, she went back to her room to see Logan and Jungkook's eyes glued to the floor.
