MECHANICAL LIES ll JIKOOK [Completed]

Chapter 34 (Past)

———

It all happened in a flash, jungmin decides to destroy our invention which is robot jimin saying how he doesn't want to see it anymore.

How jungkook went total rampage, crying and looking for jimin. How we changed his memory by making jimin appear to be dead.

By alternating everything hoping for things to be back to normal, just like before.

But things weren't very easy.

As if having his own life source and intelligence, jungkook is resisting the program seokjin and I installed in his system.

All the fragment memories comes back whenever there's a trigger, a trigger named jimin.

Like jungkook doesn't believe jimin's dead. Fighting for what he believes.

Days, months and a year passed by, we somehow successfully calmed down jungkook's system removing the fragment memories one by one.

And also, to sacrifice myself inorder to fully reset jungkook's memories.

We have discovered on our research that an extreme trigger may able to reset his memory completely, a trigger ten times worse and capable enough to match with jimin's death.

So, i acted like i tried to kill jungkook and install a new core memory into his system to take over instead of the death of jimin.

And as expected, it worked! though, the moment jungkook wakes up, he was enrage and hates me. Wanting me out of his life.

I didn't mind, it's better this way than doing nothing.

I then left jungkook in seokjin hyung's care and never came back.

Jungmin on the otherhand still wasn't doing good in coping up with jimin's death.

He doesn't ignore me anymore like before but at the same time, he doesn't talk at all.

I want to make him feel better but who am i to do such a thing when i was the cause of his sadness in the first place.

And so i decided to keep my space, stay in my lane until the day comes where jungmin himself opens up to me.

I decide to work hard, keeping myself busy, removing jungmin out of my mind. Oh how easy it is to say than done.

Three years have passed since Park Jimin's death. We visited his grave, bringing flowers and his favorite food.

At this time, jungmin finally lets go. He is greeting jimin with a smile, no more tears, the storm in his heart has finally passed.

And before i know it, seokjin hyung's call became my nightmare.

"Yoongi, jungkook... He found jimin2.0 on the basement and said he wanted to fix it himself."

If fate is in our side, jungkook won't be able to remember jimin right? maybe jungkook is too bored and only want to play.

We had destroyed robot jimin so bad though, his face wasn't even recognisable enough. It must be fine to hand it to jungkook, i have to ask jungmin first.

"Jungmin." I called out, he turns around, "yes hyung? is something wrong?"

"Seokjin called just awhile ago. He told me how jungkook found out jimin2.0 and wants to fix it. Are you alright with it?"

"Why not? Let jungkook have it." jungmin paused, he looks sad.

"I feel bad for taking robot jimin away from him. I shouldn't have done so before."

"Jungmin, it's not your fault. It's mine. I shouldn't have lied to you in the first place. I'm so sorry."

Jungmin sighs and smiles reaches out his hands and hold my face up to face him.

"Yoonie hyung, i told you for the thousand times. I forgive you already. The past is in the past, never to discuss, right?"

"Mhmm... right, thanks jungmin."

I then immediately gave seokjin hyung a call.

"Hyung, jungmin said yes. Jungkook can have him. We allow him to do whatever he wants, it's his own property now."

"Yoongi... what happens after, we won't regret it right?"

"It will come sooner or later anyway. Fate has their own ways to bring two lost pieces together. We have no control over time and space. Go with the flow they say."

"Mhmm, sure.
Just now, you sound like jimin.
I'll tell jungkook then. Bye!"

Their call ended. Yoongi takes a stick of cigarette lighting the tip, puffing a smoke and looks up the gray sky, white snow slowly falling down accompanying a cold gentle breeze.

Whether jungkook's memories starts to return, just let him remember.
It is what it is.

"Yoongi hyung! What are you standing there for? You'll gonna catch a cold at this rate." A voice shouted, getting closer and closer.

Yoongi chuckle to himself turning around to find jungmin standing behind him holding an umbrella, "And stop smoking! It's bad for your health!"

Jungmin takes the cigarette stick between yoongi's fingers and throws it far away.

"Sure sure Dr. Park. C'mon now, the snow is starting to pour alot." yoongi takes his scarf off wrapping it on jungmin, "My body is fine, yours is too fragile. You need this more than I do shortcake."

"D-don't call me that! I'm not even short." jungmin pouts. They then both went in their house engulfing the warmth once again.
