THE presence of Beomgyu was something that Byeol couldn't make herself really used to. After living a long term solitary life , her inner self was pretty much surprised every now and then whenever the boy popped out of different rooms. It felt as if she was raising a child. Beomgyu didn't take much time to forget the arguments they had. He looked as if he had something to tell her but was hesitant to do so.

She was sitting on the sofa lost in her own la-la land munching on the leftover Oreo cookies. There was this peculiar habit of hers that she's unable to stop eating whenever she sees food. It was something she could easily betray someone for. They were precious than those stinky humans.

"There we go again!" Beomgyu sighed as he entered the room and noticed a messy Byeol.

"What do you mean?"

"I told you! They were for the cake I am going to bake on the weekend. Who permitted you to eat them? Aren't you broke? There's instant noodles in the cupboard."

"Gosh... It's my house! It's my money too. Why are you trying to seperate me from my soulmate?"

"Pst... It was my own fund dude! I walked a dog of one of your neighbour for that money! For that damned packet of Oreos , I was almost hit on my head by a malfunctioning flying security camera. I don't know how to manage. I will need to walk that rogue's whiny pet and go to the convenience store to buy those exorbitant packets again." cried a vexed Beomgyu.

"When the fuck did you go outside all alone? And what's the need of baking a cake , huh? Listen Gyu, you are not well and I don't want you to go outdoors for some petty cake."

"Yesterday noon. You were in a deep slumber then. I took the risk because I wanted your birthday to be a little special this time."

"The - How do you know about my birthday? "

"The calender. You had marked it for some reason."

"Aww you precious little marshmallow! You are way too sweet for this venomous world."

"Stop trying to veer the topic. What do I do now? "

"Make me a cigarette cake if possible. I love that more than chocolates."

"You better quit that darned useless thing. It won't do you any good. I am throwing away all the packets right now. Use your hard earned money in a better way."

"Stop trying to poke your nose in a business you aren't supposed to be in."

"There's this one thing I really dislike about you.You never tend to understand why I am trying to make you quit and start some specific things.You literally think that you are always right. And please stop assuming that everything others do is a joke. Please learn to appreciate of atleast talk respectfully."

"Ah...dude... please... Do not lecture me early in the morning. Your words of wisdom will become the cause of my headache. I am not used to listening to nagging."

Beomgyu shot her another glare of annoyance and left the room. Byeol,the unbothered species of human she is relaxed a bit more on her sofa as she scrolled through e-news on her mobile phone. She was hesitant enough to buy a year long subscription of the news channel but had to since it was compulsory for all citizens to stay up-to-date with news. Mobile phones were so backdated at the age of I-Displayer.

She put on the flash news as she lazily scratched her head. The anchor seemed quite tensed for some reason.

"We , human beings have always been proud about being the most superior being to exist in the world. The human brain has always been taken as the most developed. But we were proofed wrong. Our thinking and the way of reacting is controlled. Yes , it's true. We are no better than robots and computers. "

" Pft... The fuck ! Good heavens! Is the woman high on some drugs or was in the gutter for a week? These media people are shameless con artists!" groaned Byeol.

" Let us move to some evidences that we have found in a few days."

The screen changed into a presentation. A photograph was being displayed as the anchor continued what Byeol had already tagged as 'bullshit' without second thoughts.

"The government labs had been doing some operations on volunteers regarding health issues and the cure to death. We have received some facts and important information from our private sources. The scientists had discovered a small chip in the human brain in the mid of 2120. It had miraculously gone unnoticed till this date. No machine can capture it's photograph."

"Are they writing some science fiction? How could they not notice throughout all these years? What in the world-"

"The chips have revealed that we all are programmed by an unknown power. Is it what we call god? Many religious leaders who are connected to our organization have been claiming that. The government is silent as of now. But we really hope that they are going to release an official statement regarding this. If this is true , we are in for a chaotic year. Let's welcome the wrath of 2121."

a/n : Ayo sugarcoated lollipops! Don't ask me why I am updating so frequently when I should be studying for my exams. There's this force inside me that asks to keep updating. If you look at the first chapter, there were so many of you who had checked this book out but now it's handful. Maybe I am not upto their standards. Lol. Do vote and comment.

Next Update On : Friday ( If the author survives through her examinations until that.)
