My family moved to Busan as soon as I was born because my dad's job played a crucial role in keeping him away from mom and as I was her first and only child, she needed someone to help her coz the maximum time dad could spend with her was 8 hours; 6 hours of sleep and two hours which included morning and night routine. We moved to my dad's sister's place because they get along with us pretty well and also because she was the one to put forth the idea of taking us in. Though she already had her family to take care of, she didn't refuse to help us. That's why I am very close to Namjoon because he is dad's nephew who later on moved to Seoul with us because of some science school he wanted to attend. Dad would visit us whenever he'd get time or when he'd have some work in Busan.

Jeon Jungkook was the kid in our neighbourhood who was very fond of my cousin, namjoon. So that's how I got introduced to this two-year-old boy who could barely speak but had the audacity to call my cheeks 'momos'. I swear I would've smacked his butt if I wasn't an infant. I agree I had extra chubby cheeks but you can't just come to my crib, point your finger at my cheek and say "momos". I am still unable to register this story in my brain coz I heard it for the first time a while ago from namjoon. He's trying hard to make me remember stuff about jungkook.

Till I turned three, my dad's job had become stable because of his promotions and now he was finally able to afford his own house in seoul for us to move in to. After setting things up when our house was completely built, I turned four and we moved in. I faintly remember balling my eyes out the day we were leaving Busan bcoz Namjoon had accidentally told me the truth which was not a trip to seoul to meet fairies but the fact that we won't be coming back and I won't be able to play with jungkook.

After moving to seoul and finally adjusting myself in the new world, I almost forgot about jungkook because that's how kids are in initial stages of their lives, it's natural. Don't know if he remembers or not but I hardly have any memory.

Namjoon told me that jungkook shared the same dream as his so they had been in contact for years working on some project which they knew would be useful in the future. These guys seem to be some kind of prodigies to me coz their assumptions are accurate af and we really need them to fight off these bots and whoever or whatever the kcuf is trying to mess with our world.

Namjoon had told me about Jungkook's accident which occurred a year ago. It was when the first bot entered the country. They were in their Seoul branch of Eon Labs, working on some project called 'RM78whatever'. How do they put such digits in their names?

Their lab was destroyed by the bot as if the bot was ordered to do so in the first place. The members fought together to keep the bot away from humans but eventually they failed as it soon started attacking with some kind of needles that flew out of its hands. Jungkook decided to stop it and he succeeded as he targeted its weak spots. He figured out what were the machine's blind spots and attacked accordingly bcoz he knew if he'd step in front of him like some WWE player, he was gonna end up dead. But soon it got worse, the bot looked like a crazy assassin who needed a dead body and then it happened, some needles passed through Jungkook's body until the bot was frozen with jimin's newly invented frost-gun.

"Remember you used to stay with him all the time and would cry for him when he'd go to school?", namjoon asks making me sound like a crazy obsessed girlfriend. He keeps changing genres to keep the atmosphere light. Like a second ago we were talking about how Jungkook got attacked and now it's about my past.

"that's bcoz no one would play with me. Our parents were busy which leaves you but you also kept yourself busy with all the extra studies so I had no one else to play with apart from him.", I reply to defend my image in front of Dr. Jin.

"Aha! So you remember him now?" Namjoon asks in amusement.

"Kind of..." I do remember a few stuff. After taking in all the info I couldn't help but feel bad about whatever had happened with them. A sigh leave my mouth as I think about how unusual or abnormal all of this is. Back then we lived a normal life but now these people are dealing with a lot of complicated stuff and I, I am saving South Korea...... LOL.

Ping.

The elevator pinged gaining our attention. A man with a lab coat similar to namjoon's and mint coloured hair enters the lab.

"So you guys found kook, huh?", his tongue pokes the inside of his cheek before he asks.

"Yeah, y/n found him.", Namjoon replies.

The pale guy with mint hair finally exhales. Seems like he dropped the act coz now his face doesn't have an intimidating look. Then his eyes land at me.

"Thank you so much.", He says with a smile which I return and sits on one of the chairs around the round table. "Man, that's a relief.", he sighs. "Now I can finally sleep in peace.", He adds.

"What the hell happened to your hair?", Jin speaks for the first time after gaping at the man's hair.

"It's called swa-

"JIN HYUNG COME HERE IMMEDIATELY!", a voice fills the room interrupting the mint-man. Jin rushes off towards some door and we do the same following him.

We enter this room called 401 and find hoseok pressing Jungkook's chest. "He's going under sudden cardiac arrest.", He informs Jin. Jin immediately turns on his machine and does something with Jungkook. His body which was peacefully lying on bed some seconds ago is now shaking as if he's having a seizure. My heart beats faster than usual because of the sight in front of me that has scared the tish out of my body.

Jin does something which eventually calms his body down and the cardiac monitor which displays ECG shows lines that ensures the rate of his heart beat. Jin exhales and Namjoon pats his back to comfort him. The sudden tension in the atmosphere of this room sweeps away.

Namjoon catches me with a look of horror on my face. "Y/N-

I dash out of the room before he could say anything. It was then when I realised my cheeks were wet coz of salty water which flowed out of my eyes without my permission.

"Y/n, wait.", I ignore him and get into my suit to fly off to a place where I could be alone.

I don't even know him now, yet it hurts to see him in pain. The left side of my chest hurt as if someone's trying to squeeze my heart.

I reach the rooftop of a building that's fifty floors high from the ground. I get out of my suit and inhale the fresh air to calm my nerves down. As I exhale, I let my mind do whatever it wants. V is missing, Jungkook's fighting death, five geniuses are working hard to cure and save everyone and then there are robots. What if the robots take over our world? What if they enslave us? What if I stop thinking about stupid stuff? Our world, it's a bit kcufed up. But we can work together to make it better.
....

It has been an hour since I left the tower and I am still unable to find any sign of Taehyung's existence. I have checked all the metros which work around the time we left for gangnam and now I'm searching for his body in different metro stations as V is unable to sense him. Constant failure irritates me that now my brain's a mess cursing constantly at my current situation.

"Incoming from namjoon.", V repeats the words displayed on my lens. I finally accept the voice call I have been ignoring for a while.

"Where are you? Your suit has been active for an hour.", his voice depicts concern. I could tell he was worried.

"I'm looking for Taehyung." I reply. I could hear him sigh on the call.

"Please don't over work yourself, y/n. We'll find him for sure. For now, go home and rest. You have school tomorrow.", he says to which I don't give a reaction. "I know you wanted some time alone but I didn't hear anything from you since you left so I got a little worried. Just wanted to inform you that jungkook's doing fine," I didn't think I'd be this relieved to hear that. I stop for a second to breathe and then continue moving. "Please call me when you have calmed down, I need to tell you something.", with that he ends the call coz he knows I am up to no good when I'm mad.
...

I'm home now. I didn't find Taehyung but I was so close to blasting the metro stations with my flames.

"Hey. You okay?" Namjoon asks through the screen in front of me. I'm not in my suit right now, its just a normal video call on my phone. A 32 inch hologramic screen is in front of my eyes which emerges from my smartphone's screen. 22nd century guys.

"Uh.. Yeah?" I reply with obvious uncertainity that basically means why wouldn't I be okay?

"the thing i wanted to talk about.." he pauses before inhaling and exhaling deeply.

"What is it?"

"So, we checked jungkook's clothes, which was one of the Eon lab's sweatshirt he stole from the bundle kept in Seoul branch and a black jeans..." he paused again.

"Well?" I ask so he could complete the sentence and not make me hang up.

"We found a chip." He said. "You know how jungkook helped me design V, right?"

"Yeah." I reply with furrowed eyebrows coz he wasn't making any sense until-

"Jungkook might have removed it from V's system."
