Two
"Hello y/f/n. Welcome to the RM7868584898"
I'm cut off by a computerised male voice.
What the flower?!
"I am your assistant, V."
"Uh.. hi V" I manage to say.
"Connecting to Kim Namjoon." The voice says the words written on the lens my face mask has.
"Hey kiddo!" Namjoon oppa greets through the video call.
"Hey. You make it look so realistic right now as if this really is a superhero suit. Thanks for this thing anyway." I tell him.
"Y/n. This is real. You have been chosen as the saviour of our country." He states. I look at him with a serious expression and blink few times before bursting into a fit of laughter.
"Nice acting man." I say still laughing at him.
"This isn't a joke!"
"Yeah yeah. I am the Saviour of this country." I laugh
"Hey! Knock it off!"
I stop laughing and actually pay attention to him this time.
"I have been working on this suit for a year and half, you can not just laugh it off like that." He says rather offended.
"Sorry but why did you make it? Do we have an official fancy dress contest? Is the government in charge of it?" I purse my lips to stop myself from laughing.
"Y/n, I am serious." He sounds serious for real which makes me shut my mouth and look at him on the screen in bewilderment.
"Wait what?!"
"Back in the 21st century, scientists researched on human-robots, more of a 'cyborgs'. Basically a robot made out of those humans who were mentally and physically ill that their life was equivalent to their death. Soon they started working on this process and created their first human-robot. That robot served them for some years and eventually gained some evil characteristics from the things he picked up from his surroundings. He was partially human so these things were likely to happen and now he has his own army of robots who wants to attack us and gain control over humanity."
What in the world?
"Some of them have entered South Korea that's why we need you y/n."
"But why me?"
He stops for a moment and speaks, "because you are y/f/n, I can trust you. You have got all the things required for a super hero to fight."
This feels like a movie. I am the chosen one. Sounds good. So my training didn't go to waste after all.....
wait.
"Umm.. two years ago... did you, by chance, force mom to replace my dance class with martial arts?" I ask suspecting his intentions.
He laughs nervously which confirms it.
"You did, didn't you?"
"I might've encouraged her so you could defend yourself in this cruel world." He speaks as he rubs the back of his neck.
"I HAD TO LIVE WITH BROKEN BONES THE ENTIRE YEAR! I DONT KNOW WHAT KIND OF TRAINING IT WAS!" I say it out loud.
"Y/n! What's going on up there?" I could hear my mom approaching my room.
"N-nothing mom! Just fell off the bed!" I throw some lies at her. I exhale when I hear her footsteps faint.
"But the training was worth it, wasn't it?" He said.
"Yeah you're right. I am not afraid of the bullies anymore." I blurt out. "so... you knew that I could be the one compatible for this job even though I didn't know martial arts back then?" I add.
"Well you see, the thing is," He sounds hesitant like he didn't expect me to ask him. "Okay" he exhales. "The truth is that you were the only one I knew who looked like a pathetic potato that didn't have anything productive to do in life." He states like it isn't offensive at all. "And I knew how determined and hardworking you were so yeah that's why you're the chosen one."
I just gawk at him. How can he insult me and not make me feel that bad at the same time?
I asked him questions related to this suit and about my job, He told me about some do's and don'ts and then we turned off the video call after he wished me luck.
He told me about the earpiece that's kept inside the watch which I can use to communicate with V. I asked him whether this suit will affect my health or not coz you know these electromagnetic waves and radiations can be harmful for human bodies in many ways. He said he made it in such a way that it will protect my body from bacteria and viruses instead of affecting it.
Well, damn you science!
This suit doesn't affect my body but it sure will affect my brain coz of the stress I'm about to gain with this job.
"So V"
"Yes Maam."
"You can be informal with me."
"Yes y/n."
"Should we go out to test the suit?"
"Sure but right now, 80% of the population in this city is awake so it could be dangerous."
Smort.
"Will you be able to inform me when it's suitable for us to run the test?"
"Yes y/n." He replies.
"Thanks." I say. "so how should I get out of this suit?"
"All you have to do is, give me the order."
"Oh so like, V get me out of this suit?"
"Sure y/n."
And within a millisecond I'm back in my original clothes. Except for the part of my T-shirt around my stomach is a bit torn.
Cool.
I glance at my watch and look for the button that could open it so I can get the earpiece. When I couldn't find a button I click on the screen and say, "v, where's the earpiece?" I dont know if it'll work. The screen slid open revealing the earpiece. I put it in my right ear.
"Hey V?"
"Yes y/n."
I smile as I hear his deep voice.
"What exactly are you?"
"I am your assistant y/n."
"Can you be my friend?"
"Sure." He says. Does he even know what a friend is?
"So what's up?"
"Nothing much."
Woah.
"What should I do now?"
"you should complete your homework."
I didn't want to hear that.
"Thanks I will."
5 hours later:-
I wake up to the sound of an alarm that I dont remember setting up.
"Y/n. It's the appropriate time to run the test."
I hear a computerised voice then I remember V.
"Thanks for the reminder."
"You're welcome" when I glance at my wrist watch to see the time it had a smile emoji in the same font as that of the numbers. Is it V's way of expressing emotions?
"How many people are awake?"
"5% of the population in this city is awake."
5% people are awake at 3:00am. Not bad.
"V, The suit"
"There you go"
And I'm in my suit right now. I couldn't remove the circular thing from my stomach as it won't come out so now V is the only portal. Even the watch is stuck around my wrist like some leech.
As I open my window, I'm ready to jump off it but a sudden fear take over me.
"I won't die right?"
"You won't."
——————
One month later.
I have gotten used to this suit now. V has been of a great help to me. I've had few encounters with some bots I assume are related to that human-robot oppa told me about. I did save people this past month and It felt good.
I didn't know people were going through such hell. I didn't know they were in trouble until I became who I am right now. People have started talking about me, about someone who saves them. They don't know if I'm a human or a robot coz all they could see is my metallic body and human face that too covered with a mask which covers my eyes.
I enter my class and I'm met with an intense glare.
"y/f/n. You have been missing a lot of classes lately." She states whilst crossing her arms across her chest. Oh how I hate her face now.
"I-I wasn't well." I lie.
"I see. I hope your illness doesn't affect your results" the teacher says as I bow and take my seat.
"I will work hard ma'am" I speak.
I was in the middle of my class when the screen on my watch turned red. This indicates danger. Someone's in trouble. Shit.
I decide to fake a cough.
And the coughing continues...
"Y/n, are you okay?" A student asks from behind.
"No"
"Y/n, you should go to the medical room." The teacher says. I leave my bag on the seat and dash out of the classroom mumbling a 'sorry' to my teacher on the way.
When I reach away from the school I get into my suit and fly away to the place my lenses take me.
There I see a 7 feet tall bot destroying the stores around it. Holy son of a *beep* crime keeps getting worse day by day. I run towards it to throw a kick at it. Our metallic bodies collide creating an irritating sound effect.
10 minutes later:-
I finally find the main wire as now the bot's body has been broken to the stage where his wires and motherboards are visible. I pull out the wire shutting the bot down hence making it useless. It falls on the ground with a loud thud.
At the class:-
"May I come in Maam?" I ask before entering the class.
"Are you okay now?"
"Yes ma'am"
After school I went back home and my mom immediately gave me a huge list to buy the stuff from grocery store.
"Oh man what a drag?"
"I know right."
"I had so much work to do already."
"You're life sucks, doesn't it?"
"Sure it does right now."
"Hahaha" his computerised laugh is so funny that it makes me laugh too. Talking to him is like talking to a friend on phone. "I can help you with math today if you want"
"Why wouldn't I want that? Help me with chemistry too, okay?"
"Hold up girl"
"Sorry but no sorry."
I could see people staring at me like I'm some kind of lunatic. Well I do look like one right now.
As I finish shopping I go back to my home and dive on my bed.
"You want a massage?"
"Yes please"
"In your dreams"
"Argh. You brat"
"Lol."
We go silent for some minutes as I close my eyes and relax. He is just a voice but he never fails to make me feel comfortable.
"V?"
"Yes y/n."
"I wish you were real."
"I'm afraid it's impossible."
Next day:-
I yawn as I enter my class. I'm so tired, I got to deal with five bots yesterday. The crime level has increased drastically, I think they've realised that there is someone out here who's helping people.
I take my seat and look out the window.
"Class we have a new student."
Huh? This student is four months late though.
I look at the guy who enters the class and man those visuals. I could already hear girls whispering about him.
