* This article is just a matter of imagination. There is no connection. with the people who appear in the story

It is a sequel to

Love Replica 

yes

But it's longer than the first part (haha).

Thank you for falling in. And thank you for following :)

Thirteen years after the end of the war between humans and androids.

After the "Creators" won, humanoid androids were banned on Earth.

Every humanoid robot ever created No matter how advanced technology is will be limited in their ability to have feelings, thoughts or make any decisions on their own

"Inventions" created by human hands must always clearly specify one goal. unable to move freely

Many sections of society are once again reverting to analogues and manual labor.

The brain is limitless. Limited by law to claim the rights of living beings who have natural flesh and soul.

I broke the rules by stealthily waking him up from his long slumber.

Of course, if this secret reaches the ears of government officials. I would definitely be arrested for treason or endangering the security of humanity.

But everything was an accident.

He is so beautiful... It was so beautiful that I couldn't help but bring him back to life.

Of course it was just an accident.

No matter how infatuated I am with him But he tripped over a wire in Grandpa's lab and somersaulted and hit a button, causing a small earthquake. Then he opened his eyes... It was not my intention at all.

Who knew that that button would disturb that person's sleep?

Plus, waking up without finding 'Mark Tuan' also made him so upset that he went on a big rampage. It took several weeks to adjust.

Seven years ago, after my grandfather passed away. I found his frozen body in the secret underground laboratory of my grandfather, who was friends with the famous scientist Wang Jier. One of the members of the project that made the dream of Android come true.

How can you not be famous? Because without his project A war between humans and androids would not have happened.

He is not the cause But it is only the originator who cannot control its own customers and products. His name has become a stain on human history to this day.

Today, the grandfather who raised orphaned grandchildren like me has passed away. Leaving only your name and the invention of my former best friend, lest I have to live in this world alone.

Park Jin Young is a young android who looks exactly like a human. It is also a pioneer in the industry.

He was sealed to sleep after Puck. The real Jinyoung officially tied the knot with boyfriend Mark Tuan --- that's another chapter in history where world-class celebrities from two industries held a lavish same-sex wedding with Android. Both of them were witnesses.

For me, Android Park Jinyoung is a piece of history that has been erased by time. There is only eternal youth that still radiates brightly, worthy of being a popular actor.

A synthetic brain that records various stories To be able to at that time be more clear and precise than the human brain should have been the pride of that era. But it doesn't seem to be desired at present.

However, he woke up innocent and innocent. Not even aware of the war that changed the relationship between humans and androids.

"Just sitting idle I'm going to study later. Miss BamBam"

Even though that doctor used polite words and call me 'Miss' as if I were the boss. But his attitude was relaxed and arrogant. Why are those cold, emotionless eyes? No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem worthy of the position of butler at all.

But just like that. As the person who woke him up I don't mind. Well, that guy is a copy of a famous actor from decades ago. No matter how humble you are, But there are some habits that people who are celebrities probably carry with them... No, there's a lot.

Let's just say that he is like another brother to me.

"Boxed lunch," he said, handing me a small thermal bag. "And don't..."

"Don't eat junk food. Don't share food with friends. Don't secretly buy snacks to eat without permission. "I know, Mr. Park Jinyoung, ever since I fell ill last time, I didn't dare disobey orders and was scared to the point of death," I continued in a sarcastic tone.

Because of health problems in children So I had to eat only food that was carefully calculated and controlled for nutrients and ingredients. After Grandpa passed away, it was Park Jin Young. Come help take care of the food. His cooking skills aren't bad at all.

However, his taste didn't impress me much. Well, I'm still a teenager here. I want to go out and hang out with friends. Sometimes I secretly sip on that. Chew this a little bit.

Just don't make Park sick. Jinyoung caught it.

"I'll go first." I stood up from the chair, shouldered my bag, and snatched the lunch box from his hand. Then prepare to leave the house.

"wait a minute"

I almost lost control and fell backwards when I was grabbed by the collar from behind.

When he turned around, he saw another person approaching him. Then tap your index finger on your smooth cheek a few times.

I let out a soft sigh. He couldn't help but reach forward to kiss him.

We have always done this as if it were a tradition at home.

Park Jinyoung kissed my cheek back in satisfaction. He gathered me into a tight hug like I was a little child, mumbled a blessing before finally patting me on the shoulder and letting me out of the house.

I hurriedly rushed out. Hide the shyness on your face

Actually, since he became a part of my life. We kiss each other regularly like a warm family.

But now that I'm older, even Park Jinyoung still treats me consistently. But somewhere inside I felt the same for him.

It is a painful feeling that cannot be described.

It's probably because he's an android. As for me, I'm human.

Even though it's like that Instead, he took good care of me from the time I was ten years old.

He cared about the little things, remembered everything about me. and do everything for my grandfather Sometimes it's even better than my grandfather's.

Under the guise of a confident actor, Park Jin Young is an android warmer than any other human on this planet.

It is a sad truth that cannot be told.

Because sooner or later I have to shut down and freeze him. Until now, I still don't know how. But I cannot dream of living together with him until I grow old. He was too dangerous for the current calm situation.

And most importantly, he already had someone else in mind firmly and firmly.

Mark Tuan

The first person he asked about after waking from a long slumber.

An android born from the original lover of actor Park Jin Young.

Today, he is still searching for the body of his lover who was taken away somewhere.

Not to be together

But in order to fall asleep side by side... Preserve the eternal love of the couple's originals.

It was as if that was the real Jinyoung and Mark's aspiration before their deaths.

The university entrance exam is getting closer and closer. People who don't have any special dreams of their own like me. The goal is simply to find a way to bring Android back to freezing again.

So that no one can destroy Park Jinyoung.

Because the government has restricted education in all fields of Android technology. So I don't know what entrance exam I have to take. Moreover, my intentions could not be revealed to anyone, not even the school guidance counselor. But after trying to study the scope of education of each faculty. I assumed that the biomedical engineering line would be the closest.

Because of this The money from my grandfather's inheritance was used to pay for my after-school tutoring.

Because it is a group that is difficult to get into. So I decided to hire intensive one-on-one tutoring twice a week. Along with taking extra classes with friends.

And today is the first day of private lessons.

"Little BamBam, the teacher is waiting in the Ruengpanya room," said the public relations sister who had a friendly smile and a wink in her eyes at the boys. The high school student greeted him with a sweet voice.

"Oh, am I late?"

I quickly looked down at the clock.

There are still ten minutes left.

"No need to hurry, little BamBam. The teacher came half an hour earlier. There was a vacant room so I would like to sit and wait in the classroom."

Even so, how could I keep the teacher waiting?

But as soon as he opened the door he rushed in.

"hello"

There's no one there?

So I went to sit and wait at the study table.

That room is specifically for one-on-one classes. So there was only a small round table with four chairs in the middle of the narrow room. The wall is opaque glass, which is also a whiteboard.

My eyes lit up when I saw the periodic table game I used to play with my grandfather when I was a kid up there.

Since Grandpa passed away I haven't played anything like this again. Until high school So I knew The games I played with my grandfather made me memorize the entire periodic table before my classmates did.

I looked at the luggage of the person who had arrived first.

In addition to notebook computers with a pen and write on the board There's nothing else.

He probably played games to pass the time.

However, the game on the board isn't finished yet. So I refrained from cheating. I couldn't take out the pen and continue playing until the end.

"This isn't bad," a voice said from behind me as I pulled back to look at my work.

When he turned around, he saw a young man with a muscular build. Slightly taller than me, his face was sharp and his eyes shone brightly under the shadow of his cap. He was dressed in a t-shirt and jeans, but he didn't look like a teacher at all.

First glance I thought we were students together. The type of kid who comes to tutor for the university entrance exam for the fifth time.

“Hello, little BamBam. My name is Jackson. I'm your tutor." The man introduced himself in a bright voice.

Is this a tutor?

I looked at him from head to toe again.

"I asked the school owner. He's not serious about dressing. I hope you don't mind."

Back home, Park Jin Young sits on the sofa watching television and searching for information on an old computer.

Even though it had been seven years since he had been awakened But he still painstakingly searched for information related to that Mark Tuan.

How are you going to have it?

War destroys everything, including the economy, society, and international relations.

It seemed like a big business family like the Duan family had been removed from every directory. Penalty for possessing an Android

Even though it has nothing to do with the war. But that android was punishable by destruction.

Still, Park Jin Young still had hope that he would meet the other side. Just because the latest information that I could find said that Android was marked. Tuan disappeared before being punished.

Where have you gone?

Even he didn't know when he had been separated from his lover.

Someone had torn them apart. If not before then during the war.

"I'm back," I said softly.

Even though Park's picture Jinyoung's obsession with finding his lover is familiar. But his earnest efforts in hope in recent times Makes me feel depressed to say the least.

Am I worried about him? Or are you really jealous of him?

"The food is already on the table," he answered without looking at me.

What is this feeling?

When he gets close I felt so awkward and uncomfortable that I wanted to retreat.

But when he doesn't care I again felt a little lonely and disappointed. Like never before

I walked into the room Throw the bag on the bed Before showing up, he ate the food he had prepared.

"Do you have any clues today?" I was the one who invited them to talk, breaking the uncomfortable atmosphere that I had created for myself.

Park Jinyoung straightened his back. Raise both hands up as if stretching... I bet that. That was Park's personality. Definitely the original Jinyoung. How could an Android be in the mood for stretching? No matter how similar people are on the outside, But inside it should be different... I had never dissected him before. Guess so

"It's not the same as before. It's so stupid and there's also limited access to information," he answered with his eyes still glued to the screen.

According to the laws of the World Electronic Information Agency If the identity cannot be proved as a human being Will not be able to access and control certain types of online information.

It is not that those identities will not be duplicated. But because it was the identity of Park Jin Young, an android that the government wanted to exterminate. Therefore cannot be used.

Because of this, Park Jin Young was unable to use the newer computer that had faster and deeper access. He depends on me to help him on his days off. Or only after school when I'm free.

However, the identity of a seventeen-year-old underage boy like me was of no help.

“And today I met a new tutor. How are you?” he asked back.

“Good, his name is Jackson. likes to say things like an old person But acting like a teenager is crazy. You're a funny person."

"About studying, Mr. BamBam, you have nothing to worry about." Finished speaking, he set his sights on searching for clues about his lover.

Many times, I couldn't help but think that if Mr. Mark That Tuan still exists. He was probably doing something to find Puck. Jinyoung is there too.

But it's also possible that he's sleeping somewhere.

Or time might make him forget Park. Jinyoung is completely gone...

I have been tutoring with Teacher Jackson for almost a month now.

Teacher Jackson is a very friendly person... Sometimes it's shocking.

Last week he invited me to eat together after school. But due to my nutritional problems cause you to refuse Even though I wanted to agree and follow him until I was shaking.

"How about this? Let's make hot pot and eat it at your house," he offered.

His friendliness and sincere attitude Makes it very difficult to refuse.

Most importantly, I feel good and trust Teacher Jackson. The closer they become, the more they respect him like a real brother.

Even Park Jinyoung teased that Now it's Teacher Jackson. Every time I mention that name in the house,

"But..." I faltered.

“Well, you said there was a problem with food. Then we'll go cook at your house. Your house must already have things you can eat. So I just brought along what I wanted to eat.”

"Alright then... So let me tell my brother first."

"Really, you're with your brother, okay? See you on Saturday."

Even though I repeat that...

But I'll tell Puck. What do you think of Jinyoung?

Because I had never brought anyone into the house before.

"Huh? A tutor is coming to make hot pot at home?” Park Jin Young asked in disbelief.

"As you wish, I'll go somewhere else for a few hours."

I felt so guilty that I couldn't tell.

But before answering anything He was unable to speak first.

"It wouldn't be better if something happened to you. I must take responsibility. Then I will get to know him as an older brother as BamBam has suggested.”

"Eh? but..."

I think Park Jinyoung doesn't want to meet anyone anymore.

“You said Teacher Jackson is very good. Are you a part-time lecturer at many well-known universities? I think I should thank him and get to know him a bit.”

Park Jin Young is strange... But when I saw the sparkle in his eyes It's enough to guess that This work probably doesn't involve searching for Mark's information. Definitely Tuan

Yes... Teacher Jackson is in the field of biomedical engineering. Although he stubbornly avoided lectures on the development of treatments by applying living cells to machines, But he once told me that his hobby was studying the development of advanced humanoid robots. Including the creation of AI, which is prohibited in this era.

What does Park Jin Young plan to do?

"Then you need to prepare three pots. BamBam's, Teacher Jackson's, and mine."

People with nutritional problems

People can eat normally.

With Android having to use a special power unit, to this day I still doubt that Park Where did Jinyoung recruit from?

Of course, how was I supposed to know? Since he managed everything in the house with my grandfather's inheritance money. It's really necessary to be a parent.

"Will it be difficult? I can eat something else instead."

A hot pot that cooks in different pots is a hot pot, right?

Saturday

I changed my mind about hot pot. It's a grilled steak for Mr. BamBam.

He'd probably enjoy eating more that way.

The doorbell sounded exactly at the appointed time.

Mr. BamBam put his hand away from the Chinese exercises. Walked out and opened the front door of the house.

As soon as Teacher Jackson entered The atmosphere immediately changed.

It felt strangely familiar.

Yes, I've experienced something like this before.

“Jinyoung hyung. This is Teacher Jackson."

Mr. BamBam brought the guests of the house to greet me while preparing drinks.

Of course, his way of speaking changed to fit the role of a younger brother.

When I look up I met a young man in fashionable casual clothes, wearing a cap, smiling back cheerfully.

Even though I had prepared myself. But still he couldn't stop his heart from beating fast.

“Hello, Mr. Jinyoung,” he greeted back.

"Then I'd like to go clear the living room table first." After saying that, Mr. BamBam ran to the living room where he left off doing the exercises. Leaving me alone with the new house guest.

"Hello, Teacher...Jackson." I deliberately emphasized his name. "What did you bring with you?"

The other person placed the item in an empty space on the table.

"All my favorite things. I heard that BamBam has to eat specially prepared food. So I didn't buy anything for that much. There's only me and... Jinyoung hyung.” The doctor also deliberately emphasized the accent at the end of his sentence.

"Then please go sit in the living room first."

"Is there something I can help you with?" Jackson asked friendly.

"do not have"

“I'm sorry to disturb Jinyoung hyung. You have to prepare food for three people. Even though it doesn't have to be that difficult."

"Everything I did was for BamBam's happiness," I replied with a smile.

"Looks like he's an older brother who spoils his younger brother. It's worth watching."

“To say that is not correct. Bambam's happiness is my happiness today. Shouldn't I preserve it as best I can?"

Jackson nodded.

"That's well said, but today's happiness might make him sad later."

I shrugged.

“Doing good things to each other should only bring good things, right? It's really that time, good memories will heal his heart."

“I hope so. If it ends beautifully like you wrote the script."

“How is my little brother? Teacher Jackson... No, former Professor Wang Jier.”

Our house had never had such loud laughter before.

Teacher Jackson's visit miraculously changed the atmosphere in the house.

Moreover, the teacher seemed to get along with Park. Jinyoung did better than I expected.

So good that... sometimes I feel empty. In my heart I couldn't tell.

Why?

I started to get jealous of Park. Is it Jinyoung?

Androids that live together in secret as a butler Never open up and be intimate with anyone unnecessarily.

But today I saw the smile that Teacher Jackson inspired.

A cheerful laugh that I had never heard from Park Jin Young before.

Those things I could never make happen.

In front of me, even though there are soft and gentle corners But overall, Park Jinyoung always acts solemn. strict all the time And sometimes it looks as cold as a machine.

At times it radiated a deep sadness. In those eyes

No matter how close we are He is neither friend nor relative.

Maintain a clear status as a parent

But with Teacher Jackson... This was the first time I saw a pair of beautiful eyes sparkling.

As if...

They had known each other for a long time.

But how is that possible?

Perhaps this is due to the tutor's excellent interpersonal talent, rich sense of humor. that no matter what you say, it will naturally tickle the funny bone of others.

Even I couldn't resist Teacher Jackson's charm. Until I felt this close.

Maybe I'm jealous of Teacher Jackson?

Yet... there are many moments. that their conversation was known only to the two of them

It's not a joke.

But it's something I can't understand.

It's hidden. In the discussion of miscellaneous matters

But only a fraction of a minute had passed. It wasn't even time for me to be complacent or feel any discomfort yet.

After Teacher Jackson left, I helped Park Jinyoung clean up.

"Seeing Bambam-san get close to Teacher Jackson, I'm relieved," he suddenly said.

“What? You don't usually like me being close or bringing anyone to your house. And why is Teacher Jackson the exception?”

A hundred days, a thousand years is really only a warning to be careful of this person.

I feel bad about those words.

It's like they're pushing me away to others.

He froze, holding his hand for a moment. before letting out a sigh

"Mr. BamBam... My time is running backwards. Even today, I still don't know how to get back into that freezer. But sooner or later..."

"no! No!” I shouted, slamming the plate in my hand loudly.

It's like my heart breaks every time I park. Jinyoung said something like this.

Talk about the day we had to part.

"Mr. Bambam..."

He was a little stunned.

“I just think Teacher Jackson seems like a nice person. Should be dependable Associating with each other won't hurt..."

“Enough, Jinyoung. You don't understand. In this life, I don't want to depend on anyone anymore!”

I turned and stormed out of the kitchen on my heels.

I... want to grow up for Puck. Jinyoung can be relied upon quickly.

Even if the direction I'm heading is contrary to my true feelings.

Park Jin Young never knew... Because in his head, there was only an android named Mark Tuan.

He doesn't know any more. As I try to find a way to return him to hibernation to live forever. Continuing to complete his original mission How much must I force myself to part from him in the future?

How ridiculous.

Even if I say that I took the risk of staying with him in hiding illegally. But Park's welfare cannot be guaranteed. Jinyoung is fine.

Fight each other to keep him safe. He also acted according to his own will. It's even better.

Most importantly, he wasn't mine from the beginning.

Therefore, if at least... I made it happen with my hands.

It is considered to be giving him all the love and feelings that I have.

Love... that cannot be possessed

After that, we didn't speak a single word again.

Even before bedtime

Park Jinyoung carried a cup of warm milk into the room.

He knew that I was annoyed with him. And this is his reconciliation that I am very familiar with.

Of course, throughout the seven years we've been together It's not that I've never been stubborn or argued with him.

But it doesn't matter who's fault it is. He was always the one who approached first like this every time... Definitely won't allow it to linger until overnight.

I was lying face down on the bed. Pull the blanket up to cover your head. before turning around and turning away

Park Jin Young is a very calm person... So much so that sometimes I can't help but think that he probably doesn't have a heart.

Or is it because his android processing is blocking what is called emotion?

He's actually a pioneering Android.

However, my grandfather used to tell me that First version of Android It was the things of the booming era that were most like humans. Because of the next generation It was created to become more and more distorted. according to the dream function that humans want Until before the war, the generation of combat-ready robots was not programmed with compassion for humans.

The back edge of the bed sagged after hearing the sound of the doctor placing the glass on the table.

“I apologize for talking about the future,” the doctor said first.

Damn, my heart sank every time I heard an apology from someone as perfect as that guy.

It was not worthy of coming out of his mouth at all.

Warmth that is transferred to the back It made him realize that he was lying down there.

"I promise that from now on I will live in the present more... I will be with you to the fullest and my best. Is that good?”

That promise made my heart skip a beat.

Even though it's not a word of love But I feel happy.

Even though he has always been like that with me.

My feelings towards Park Jinyoung have changed since I don't know when.

But the change is becoming more and more evident. Until I began to be sure that it was young love.

Even though I've never loved anyone before

But the sad thing is... His feelings for me never changed.

No matter how close we are, Park Jinyoung is like the moon in the sky that shines brightly in the darkness on days when I have no one left. However, I can only look up at him. Unable to own the moon

It's just that I've never experienced a moonless night in my life.

"Will you be with me to the fullest extent?"

I turned around to face him.

The gentle look in his eyes, like an older brother looking at his real younger sibling, made me feel unbearable pain.

But that's probably the only thing I can take from him.

otherwise I could lose everything about him forever.

“Yes, I won't talk about that again. BamBam, you shouldn't worry about what's yet to come."

However... I'm really worried.

Yes, I don't know my fate.

But because of worry I don't want to think about it anymore.

If you say it beautifully Could it be called a process of preventing mental pain?

But if we talk about it in a casual way, it's pretty cowardly.

I snuggled into his arms like a little child.

“I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been upset with Jinyoung like that.”

He smiles gently.

“Emotions are a natural part of human nature. Don't be afraid. I was built to handle it. But BamBam, don't show your anger like that to anyone. Every problem can be solved. If we are above our emotions"

To say that But I know that Park's existence Jinyoung is driven by emotion.

It's not because of the actor's personality... But because of love for Mark Tuan.

"We're good," he confirmed the situation.

"Um," I nodded, my cheek still pressed against his chest.

Who would be angry at Puck? Jinyoung, how long?

"Then drink milk before going to bed," he said with a smile.

"Okay, but... can we sleep together tonight?" I pleaded.

He ruffled my hair and chuckled.

"Okay... son"

Park Jinyoung kisses gently in the middle of my head

A son is a son... At least he loves me the most in this position.

At least he doesn't have any other position that would take away my love right now.

I was standing in front of the door of a rented room in a slum area.

After Wang Jieer, no, Teacher Jackson. Former professor who was on the pioneering Android development team Came to eat with us at home two days ago. He sent information about Mark's whereabouts as his address. which matches this shabby rental room.

That's right, Wang Jie'er himself was an android.

However, many parts of the development were directly transferred from Professor Wang, who had an accident that left him disabled. Making him not an android from the beginning of the process.

To be more precise, he was Wang Jieer in the form of an android.

If the body is not counted That guy was one hundred percent human. and that can continue to live across eras today Probably because it is continually developing and repairing itself. As a qualified researcher

I focused on the room number, which was in simple raised letters.

Behind a rusted iron door with small bars. It's like this prison door. Who will be there?

Jiaer did not reveal any other details.

I took a deep breath. In my heart filled with hope

Stress and excitement hit me until my fingertips trembled.

After pressing the doorbell and waiting for a long time That door slowly opened.

Someone's body appeared

“Mark…” My voice came out softly.

I miss you... I miss you so much.

He remains the same, unchanged.

Those eyes were looking at him in shock.

Before he could say anything I rushed in to hug him. Tears that had been suppressed for seven years came pouring out.

"Mark... really Mark."

Definitely him.

I can't believe it.

The person I had been searching for for seven years was now standing in front of me.

He is not a dream or an illusion. But it is an identity that can be truly captured.

I remember everything about him.

Or even if he has a different face or body I will always remember the warmth and feeling that passed through me.

Our amazing bond

He let me hug him like that. He retreated inside. Then closed the door and locked it.

"Jinyoung...?"

I nod

Ah... the voice I miss.

Mark's voice really is.

"Yes, it's Jinyoung. Mark's Jinyoung," I answered, sobbing.

“Jinyoung…” His voice began to tremble.

His arms are wrapped tightly around my torso.

We're longing for each other so much

The sun was falling lower and lower.

All the time since late morning

From the front door, enter inside into the living room. all the way to the bed

There was never a second when our bodies were separated.

Familiar skin Body odor that stimulates desire

He is the first and only one who is forever imprinted in my heart and memory.

“Mark…” I continued to call his name over and over without getting tired of reviving the long-forgotten love story, as if making up for the endless time spent apart.

The rhythmic sound of the bed moving and sliding. It's much more gentle now than it was in the beginning. Yet our bodies never diminished our desire for each other.

Only the fatigue began to take its toll. Help bring back consciousness.

"Jinyoung... We haven't talked yet."

He's been saying this since two rounds ago. I just nodded. before pulling him in for a passionate kiss

However, this time, it seemed like he wouldn't let me do that again.

A slender finger separated my lips before things could get out of hand again.

Yes... since coming in Our bodies greeted each other. Even though we haven't had time to talk seriously yet.

He lay down on his side. As far as the narrow bed There will be enough space to squeeze in.

So I took a full look at his hideout for the first time.

frighteningly...

Is this the residence of an android that was originally owned by the son of a world-influential business owner?

No, that's in the past.

Currently, there is no longer the Duan Family who owns this glorious business.

From the information I found after waking up Anyone in possession of an Android is subject to severe penalties regardless of the intended use.

Many billionaires have had their assets seized and declared bankrupt.

His own family was no exception.

Even Park's family Jinyoung himself did not have any news about the heir.

However, as long as the original Park Jinyoung and Mark Tuan are dead. I don't have any need. will be involved with them again

There is no need. That will cause them to suffer again and again.

small room for rent About the size of a dying cat, it is the home of an android hiding from the government.

However, if we don't count the clothes we helped to take off along the way, It's simple. Clean and proportionate, matching Mark Tuan's disciplined personality.

I buried my face on his chest. Run your palm over the smooth, delicate skin with pleasure.

"When did you wake up?"

"Shortly after the war ended At that time, Jia Er tried to move us to a safer place. But something went wrong. wake me up"

After the war ended, there was a period of extermination of the androids. Both Jiaer Mark and Mark must be having a lot of trouble.

"Cheating, why would you want to share suffering and happiness together? Then why didn't you wake me up?" I complained.

“At the time, we just thought that you would be in a safe place,” he replied quietly.

“Then why aren't you together? Why did you leave me alone?”

“It is very risky to have two androids together for more than twelve hours in a five hundred meter radius. The government has set up satellite detectors. Moreover, the person who deposited Mr. During the new capital reform period, suddenly Suddenly moved address... At that time the country was in chaos."

"And don't you think so? Leave me with someone else like this If I wake up and don't see you How much pain will I have? For the past seven years There isn't a second that I don't think about you. I live in the vain hope that you, too, are alive somewhere in the world. And if you're not there... If you weren't here..." I started to sob."

Do I have to keep looking for you alone like this?”

He rubbed my head as if comforting me.

“You... aren't lonely at all. At least I still have BamBam as my friend.”

I even raised my head.

"What do you mean? You knew where I was all along, so why... why didn't you come? Why are you so mean?"

I shake my broad shoulders in anger.

"Sorry, but I'm just not sure."

"Not sure?"

Suddenly, the look in his eyes that was looking at me was so sad that it was frightening.

"I'm just not sure about our feelings."

What is this?

Can't believe my ears

Those words shouldn't come from people who love each other life and death. Aren't you longing for each other almost to death like me and him?

"Then... now, are you sure yet?" I asked in a low voice, as if lacking strength.

"Sorry..." he replied simply.

Park Jin Young is back.

He's been gone all day. By the time we returned, it was time for dinner.

Very unusual.

"Jinyoung, where have you been? I'm really hungry."

To say that I just ate some bread and milk that were in the refrigerator.

However, he collapsed and sat on the floor near the door, looking exhausted.

Really out of character.

Never seen Puck. Jinyoung had been like this before.

He... is crying.

It was no surprise when he laughed the other day. The sight of him shedding tears right now was probably something that could happen normally.

It's true, because he was fed information and had the same emotional processing as the original.

If it were not considered something created by the hands and wisdom of humans, He is a person who has a good life and a good heart.

And I've always felt that way. I've never seen a difference.

But on the other hand I had to keep reminding myself that he was an android. To prevent my attachment and overwhelming feelings from deepening.

I walked over and squatted down in front of him.

"What happened?"

The doctor began to sob.

"He... said... huh... my love... It is something that has been simulated.”

he?

A person who can play on Jinyoung's feelings like this...

It means Puck. Jinyoung meets Mark. So you're already bored?

Although it is a joyful thing But he looked like he had just been heartbroken after waiting for seven years.

What's this all about?

"It hurts that... I couldn't argue with him for a single word. It was crazy."

I hugged the body that was lying on the ground as if it was about to decay.

The sound of crying Both the vibrations of the body

It was very telling how much pain he was in.

In front of the door of the rental room at Park Jinyoung once stood helplessly in the cold for many days.

Now it is me who is standing in his place. After following that guy for a while

Jinyoung didn't give up. But because of a lack of physical and mental strength, I couldn't leave the house.

He was like a sick person on the verge of death who just lay there and was exhausted. Lock yourself in a room There wasn't even a sound of sobbing or yelling. There were only tears that flowed silently.

Even though we haven't seen each other for many decades. But has that bond still not weakened?

So hurtful and envious of that Mark at the same time.

Why do people who hurt their feelings be the same person as the person they love with all their heart?

That's not fair.

Even though I really love Jinyoung and am ready to do everything to prevent him from getting hurt.

If only Jinyoung looked at me like Mark did. I will never let go of him.

I won't let Jinyoung belong to anyone.

Jinyoung doesn't have to love me with all his heart. I don't have to be the number one or the only one. I just want Jinyoung to have some heart for me...

Because I know very well that no matter how much I love Jinyoung His heart was only Mark.

I take a deep breath before reaching out and knocking on the door

He didn't ring the doorbell because he saw that Jinyoung had done that before and it didn't work.

I knock politely But after that door, there was silence. It began to increase in frequency of knocking more and more.

Both my knuckles and the spine of my hand became red and sore.

This probably wasn't a smart move.

The person you want to meet pretends not to be there. Even if he knocks until his bones break, he won't be able to open it.

Because of this Jinyoung only pressed the doorbell once. Then he patiently stood and waited in front of the door for several hours in a calm manner.

So I took out a piece of paper and a pen and wrote a message.

“If you don't come out within a minute. I will inform the police that there is an android in this room.”

Then insert the paper through the gap under the door into the rental room. Press the doorbell and shout:

"There's something to deliver."

Then wait for the bait to be hooked.

A few minutes later I heard the sound of movement behind that door, and it worked...

"Ah... what a mess."

The door opened, revealing the faces of the people in the room.

I don't want to believe it... Simple method like this

Because the other party was sure it wasn't Jinyoung.

Perhaps my threats to the children were effective because they did not want to create problems that would cause the authorities to be suspicious or suspicious.

And the person standing on the other side of the door frame in front of me was Mark. Tuan is definitely not wrong.

Even though I've never seen him before. But I recognized this man's face well from Mark's photograph. The real Tuan, which Jinyoung uses to investigate clues.

Of course, that was a photograph taken almost a hundred years ago.

Mark Tuan now is not at all different from the person in the photo at that time.

It further reinforces the fact that Android will remain in perfect condition throughout its lifespan.

That means As I keep growing Until old age, Park Jinyoung and Mark Tuan would maintain his body cells that were not yet thirty years old like this forever.

Ah... That's if I can't find a way for Jinyoung to return to the cryogenic system for the rest of my life. At some point it may turn out that someone who looks younger will become him. And when I'm old He could just watch me wither and die. Just like the day I looked at my grandfather when I was a child.

When that time comes How can I accept this?

As I looked at him from head to toe He, too, looked at me carefully.

"Is there something wrong with me?... BamBam!” The deep voice that greeted me made my eyes widen.

He knows my face Like I know his face

Maybe Jinyoung will tell this guy about me... Or not?

But he smiled mysteriously.

"The broker is like this grandfather. It's not difficult to guess."

I blinked my eyes.

"Do you... know Grandpa?"

"People around me hope There were only a handful of Jie Er. And I can honestly say I know everyone.”

It's true. Grandpa once said he was close to a scientist named Wang Jie'er.

Close to the point of accepting the delivery of dangerous items like Puck. Keep Jinyoung close to you.

"Tell me first. I didn't open the door for you because I was afraid of that petty threat, but I thought that if you were a reasonable person like your grandfather, My annoyance would probably disappear with some negotiation. Come inside first."

From the words just now He probably respected my grandfather quite a bit.

I clenched my fists, remembering my intention to skip special school and come here. Before following him easily

Mark Tuan's room was just a small room that was divided into sections. For tall men Long limbs like his This room seemed too cramped to the point of being stuffy.

It's pitiful to say the least.

He has a simple life... If you speak correctly Even lower than simple

Even though the room was cleanly swept But the appliances in the room are not luxurious. Moreover, there is only as much as the person can use in daily life, not lacking... not more than...

If you speak correctly... As if ready to move and escape at any time.

while Jinyoung, who was with me Have a comfortable life There are convenience items. I just wish Jinyoung wouldn't be in trouble looking for someone to love. His life will be full of happiness thanks to my grandfather's inheritance, which was enough to send me to higher education. And when I graduate, I will find a good job. No need for Jinyoung to suffer anymore.

I didn't know how great the economic status of the Duan family would be in the past.

But right now, if Jinyoung were given Maybe he can't take care of my Jinyoung.

Yet... it hurts that those factors are not as important as the bond between the two of them.

I came here not to evaluate the other side's abilities.

As long as Mark can't make ends meet or make Jinyoung give up. No matter how much I try for Jinyoung That guy couldn't be happy by my side anyway.

For me, Jinyoung's happiness comes first.

"Alright, if you have something to say, just say it."

I thought for a moment about where I should start.

“Jinyoung... was very sad after meeting you that day. His condition right now is like that of a person close to death.”

“I know, but I'm kind of honest with myself. Say whatever you think."

So cruel, both with a calm expression and words that come back like a lemon without juice. Was he not even the slightest bit fazed by his lover's condition?

“Are you honest with yourself? But Jinyoung is very honest with you. And are you still going to hurt his feelings? Did you know that Jinyoung went out of his way to find you? Jinyoung never stops thinking about you for a day. But you still have the face to say that Jinyoung's love is a simulation?”

“So what did I say wrong? Jinyoung is an android modeled after Park Jinyoung. His love for Mark Tuan is also an imitation because Park Jinyoung loves Mark Tuan, so Jinyoung loves me, who is Mark Tuan's other body."

I clenched my fists and shook. Can't argue back.

Damn it, I hardly know anything between them. But what I realized was that Jinyoung's feelings were real.

“You... said it like that. Jinyoung will be no matter what... You say it like You don't love Jinyoung anymore."

“I always care about Jinyoung,” he answered simply, “but do I love Jinyoung? That is something I wonder about as well as whether Jinyoung loves me or not.”

“Why... do you despise your own love so much? Two people can love and be honest with each other. If we are human, we call it destiny. Even though they truly have this kind of heart for each other. But come back and wonder about something crazy just to hurt the other person for fun?"

“Huh... Fate? You really are a little child.”

He smiled scornfully, but suddenly returned to a calm expression. Strolling towards me That made me accidentally step back in fear.

"I'm not playing. On the contrary, I am very serious. Because of this So I can't return to the cryogenic system. If you still can't give yourself the answer, where exactly does my love for Jinyoung come from?"

“What you think is too complicated. Love is just a feeling. If you love without caring about the other person's condition. At the same time, your heart is not afraid of anyone else. I call it true love.”

Suddenly, he smiled at the corner of his mouth. Bring your face close to me

“I really envy you, little one... You must love Jinyoung very much. For you, Jinyoung must be true love, right? Because you weren't programmed to love Jinyoung before at all.”

I was shocked.

“How can I be programmed? I'm human, and I love Jinyoung because Jinyoung is Jinyoung. You should understand that love, right?”

“Love Jinyoung for being Jinyoung?” A handsome face smiled slyly, “That's well said. It probably isn't a problem for humans or even androids who can love freely. But for an Android that was created as someone's lover That is a big problem.”

Thinking about it, Mark Tuan woke up during the war period. Perhaps... absorbing the android's feelings of wanting to free himself from control had quite a bit of influence on him.

want to be free

Want to love freely

Even though there is love But I don't know if my own love is free or not.

It's not.

If it's love...

"No matter who is in love They would all be imprisoned together. Whether the source of love is destiny or programmed,” I blurted out without any clarification. “God created human beings and destined them to love each other. Therefore, when loving someone, there is no need for any reason. It's only human beings who try to find so many reasons to add to their love.

And wasn't it because of those self-made reasons that came back to destroy their love? While you humans were programmed to love each other It's probably happy. You don't have to suffer for crazy reasons like humans do. But you find ways to impose your pain on each other. It's so funny."

"We were programmed by humans to love each other... So he's happy now?"

He chuckled softly in his throat. Even though those eyes weren't amused at all.

I... probably didn't say anything disrespectful to Android, did I? I swear, I didn't mean to do that at all.

"If you have to accept what is called fate That means No matter what happens Even if your life is the worst You'll just accept your fate."

I was shocked.

“That's it,” he laughed deep in his throat. "What is surrendered to fate There are only dead things.”

crass! The issue was circumvented.

“That's why Jinyoung hasn't given up yet,” I hurriedly retorted, “The one who lost is you. Just because it's Android But you look down on your own love as being fake. You're weaker than a broken rock. Even a rock cut in half It still yearns for its other half.” I yelled angrily in his face.

He was slightly stunned. I don't know if my eyes are blurred or not. But for a second, those beautiful eyes would have tears welling up in them.

“What the hell kind of rock are you? Enough, I've wasted too much time with a precocious child like you.” He grabbed my shoulder, squeezing it so tightly that it hurt. “Actually, I don't even need to talk to you.”

Then his big hand dragged me towards the door. First opened it and threw me out.

“You love Jinyoung, that's good. But what will you tell me? Your love for Jinyoung may hurt someone who has been waiting for you, but that… is still more enviable than the love that was programmed from the beginning.”

“Who is waiting for me?”

He shrugged in response. before closing the door followed by the sound of a tight lock.

Noi...are you talking like that? That Android is so possessive.

Look, I'll make Jinyoung happy again, even without him.

Over the past few days, the taste of Jinyoung's food made me It can tell that he is not happy.

Crazy, in this situation he was depressed. How can I honestly tell him how awful his food is?

God... please change your mind to make Jinyoung love me. I promise to make everything Our days are full of happiness. Jinyoung's pretty face was only suitable for smiles and laughter.

But then I fell. When I thought that Jinyoung would never be able to love me. Because that guy was programmed to love Mark.

'We were programmed by humans to love each other... So he's happy now?'

Suddenly, the doctor's words popped into his head.

That's right, if Jinyoung turns to love me because he was programmed, maybe... I might not be as happy as that guy. I feel a little more understood.

Or am I really lucky? That he loves me from the core of his heart from attachment Even though as a family member

crass! Still, it hurt. Well, I didn't think of him like that.

“If the rocks in the forest were also changed in shape, Will they still yearn for each other?” I mumbled. “Or what if there was something else like the other half that was taken away? Will it be possible to replace the missing part?"

“No one can be like anyone else,” Jinyoung's voice replied from the kitchen. "Even if the stone breaks into pieces, or transformed into anything It will still have its own stone properties.”

Ah... so painful. Even though Jinyoung was so committed to his love that he took a book from his era that Mark had given him as a gift and told it as a bedtime story to me when I was a kid. But the person who gave the book doesn't remember anything at all.

"What the hell kind of rock is that?"

He didn't care at all?

Nope... Something makes me think that might not be the case.

"Really, Miss BamBam," he suddenly said. “Yesterday the teacher at the special school called to say that he was not enrolled in the inclusive class. Did you secretly wander off somewhere?"

I was startled.

Shit... I didn't think another shift, just one day off, would be such a big deal. Plus it's not Teacher Jackson's subject. Can't be bribed

Jinyoung wiped his hands after washing the dishes. Then stand with your feet and waist in front of you.

I hurriedly ate my breakfast, but suddenly I swallowed at the wrong time, causing me to choke.

"Just a little."

One hand grabbed the milk and took a sip. He glanced at the other person's face.

Damn it, I shouldn't have made eye contact. The spine felt cold.

"I didn't jump at all. I just failed to communicate with the teacher. I thought I didn't have class." I lied to cover it up.

"Really? And when friends study together Where have you gone all alone? Why don't you go home?"

"I just kept slipping and sliding. Oh, it's getting late, so I'll go out and wait for the car." After saying that, he hurriedly got up. Snatching the packed lunch, he put it in his bag and rushed out before Jinyoung could ask any more questions.

Oh shit, today I didn't kiss Jinyoung before leaving the house.

Even though I was shy and stubbornly refused But it's not that I don't want it.

Just one day, never mind, I'll kiss you again when I come back. Or when apologizing to him about skipping class?

I jumped into the car that was about to leave just in time like a red pill. But then something occurred to me.

Really bad, I forgot my cell phone in the room.

Normally I put it in my bag in advance. But last night the battery couldn't be charged. Therefore it must be recharged in the morning.

If you go back and get it now The first lesson might be about ten minutes late. But if you don't go back and get it, actually, I have a video that I have to turn in for homework in there!

As soon as I thought of this, I quickly got off the bus at the next stop. before rushing back home

And my legs had to stop. When he saw someone standing at the door of his house

The damned body instinctively ducked into a corner before being seen.

Teacher Jackson?

What are you doing at my house at this time?

Jinyoung opened the door. Then the burly figure of the visitor disappeared inside.

Probably didn't come to report on the tutoring results.

But if that's the case You should have called Jinyoung to school instead of coming to your house.

Or will Teacher Jackson befriend Jinyoung to the point of going to see each other like this?

Thinking of this, my heart suddenly became agitated.

How close are the two of them? And why did Teacher Jackson come to my house when I wasn't home? I have to know.

I trudged over, pressing my ear to the door to make sure there was no one near the entrance. But then he held back his hand.

No. If you force the door to open, both of you will surely hear the sound. So I changed direction. Go around to the back. and climbed up to his bedroom balcony as quietly as possible.

Jinyoung and Teacher Jackson were probably in the living room.

I quickly picked up my mobile phone, which was almost fully charged, and put it in my bag. Secretly peeking open the bedroom door, slowly slipping out, sticking your neck out to look into the living room.

Both goals are there. It's just that I don't really understand what they're talking about, so I slowly walk over and hide behind a booth that's a little closer.

“Calm down, Jinyoung.”

“There must be something wrong. Now tell me everything you know.”

Jinyoung looked very upset. And he didn't look like the Jinyoung I knew.

Plus, the two of them talked about how I still couldn't quite put my finger on the beginning and the end.

“I didn't know that guy would reject you like that. But if asked about mistakes In technical terms When that doctor suddenly woke up It seems like you guys have choked on the liquid in the capsule that nourishes your brain.” Teacher Jackson rolled his eyes as he told. As if gradually reminisce

wake up suddenly The fluid that nourishes the brain...?

If one of you is Jinyoung who is an android, The other person probably means Mark?

Teacher Jackson knows Mark too? And still know about Jinyoung.

Did they know each other before without me knowing?

I clenched my fists but tried to keep my cool to listen to the information.

“I assumed that because of that the brain was getting too many chemicals from the fluid. So I was motivated to work beyond the limits of normal conditions. causing some intuitive conditions"

“Intuitive state?” Jinyoung repeated.

“It is a condition in which the brain has doubts beyond the imagination of ordinary people. If it were a human, it would be comparable to the level of brain activity of a genius.”

I don't want to believe it. Is there something like this?

"From various factors This is all I can guess.” Teacher Jackson trailed off.

“Because of this, that guy is questioning our feelings,” Jinyoung mused, as if exhausted. “Because of this, he thinks that our feelings are just copies.”

The room was silent for a moment. But then I was startled when I heard a loud shout.

"I won't give up! Last time I was in shock. So I let that guy drive me away alone. But this time, I will prove my love to that guy, so I will definitely see him again. Jackson, you must help me.”

Painful determination overflowed from his beautiful, crystal-like eyes.

Ah... I can't help but feel hurt for Jinyoung.

“Dammit, how am I going to make Mark come back to you?” Teacher Jackson shouted.

"Right now Mark won't come out to see me... How will he doubt our love? I can accept it. But refusing to open your heart allows us to create new memories. Just because I suspected that the old memories might be fake. Isn't this a little cruel?"

The audience nodded gently.

"The past is whatever it is. But I believe in the present I want to tell Mark like this. therefore... Please help me meet Mark one more time. Even if I can't answer him whether my love is real or a copy. But at least I want to prove that my love is present.”

Teacher Jackson let out a soft sigh. With difficulty, he nodded.

"Alright, just give me a little time."

I was ready to climb back out when I saw that Teacher Jackson was about to leave the house.

No, I'm not studying it anymore. If there are this many clues Today I will follow the tutor.

From the direction Teacher Jackson went I guess it's Mark's rental room.

The teacher probably asked that guy to meet Jinyoung again.

Looks like I made a mistake.

Along the way, Teacher Jackson stopped by this and that shop. Buy a few things from a convenience store.

Then suddenly it changed direction. which is not Mark Tuan's house, but instead heads towards the direction to the special school.

It's probably none of Jinyoung's business, then should I go ahead? If you follow him to school, you'll definitely get caught skipping classes at school. There were a lot of people who knew me in that area.

Just as he was about to change his mind, Teacher Jackson suddenly picked up his cell phone and answered the call.

"crass! You can't run away now. How can I deal with Jinyoung alone? Don't you feel sorry for that doctor?"

My ears perked up.

Teacher Jackson suddenly changed his path again.

“See you at my lab. You can't shirk responsibility like this. At least let's talk before I understand. I will find a way to tell Jinyoung.”

What? Is that guy going to run away?

It's strange if you really think about running away. Probably should have fled immediately when Jinyoung was pestering him. But here he let time pass.

Or that?! Is it because of me? Because I went into trouble yesterday.

No, I have to do something. Even if I have to kneel and beg, I will accept it. At least I'll keep him until he meets Jinyoung first.

I have to tell Jinyoung!

But wait a minute, if you tell me, Jinyoung will know that I skipped school. And then it will turn into me doing you a favor. If so... I should follow Teacher Jackson first. If you see a bad posture, send a message to Jinyoung.

Teacher Jackson started walking hurriedly. until reaching the destination

Tall fences, thick walls surrounding a huge mansion... familiar

Grandpa's house!

There, someone appeared as soon as Teacher Jackson arrived. It was as if he was already waiting.

This is because homes are designed to provide both analog and digital security. Teacher Jackson then turned the key and pressed the code to the small door. Before the two of them walked in cautiously.

Why does Teacher Jackson have the key to Grandpa's house?

After Grandfather died This house belongs to me completely. But because I was very young at that time I couldn't take care of the huge mansion alone with just the two of Jinyoung. This is also where Jinyoung's body's frozen capsule is kept. If we stay It is very risky to be caught by the government. So we decided to move to a smaller place.

In a community area which is not far from the original house. Because I still have hope that Jinyoung's hibernation system can be repaired in the future.

So the house was abandoned. All around are winding roads and dense forests. Even though it is only a few kilometers from the community. But it was quiet. No sign of people

Even me, if I weren't stalking Teacher Jackson. I almost forgot that I was the owner of this place.

However, why doesn't a person who owns the house outright like me have a key? Meanwhile, Teacher Jackson, who had an unknown relationship with Jinyoung and Mark, walked into my house as if he knew every nook and cranny very well.

Damn it, the gate closed in front of my eyes.

What should I do?

There is no key. I don't even know the code.

To know and know that But my body still stubbornly pushed open the door.

But...

Move?

Hoy! That's not true. The door doesn't lock automatically. Were those two people so proud that they didn't write a poem?

I slowly inserted myself through the gap in the door.

Ah... the familiar feeling of an old house. Even though this place has changed to the point of being unfamiliar But it still has an aura that makes you long for the past quite a bit.

Inside the fence, it looked like a forest. The building was so covered in ivy and vines that one couldn't help but be suspicious that some dangerous creature might have taken up residence there.

I saw the back quickly. The two people walked into the house. So he hurriedly followed, keeping a distance.

The house is still in the same condition. Almost nothing has changed at all. It also looks clean, unlike the outside.

It was as if someone lived in it and cleaned it regularly.

Considering that Teacher Jackson had the key in his hand, Including the fact that he seemed to know Makji and Jinyoung and Mark before. I could easily guess that maybe it was him.

The pair disappeared into Grandfather's office.

cannot! I won't be able to follow through the door directly.

However, there is another way, which is a secret of Grandpa and me. Because I used this way to escape and be secluded in my grandfather's office after he died. Including being used to hide Jinyoung after that guy just woke up. Until the energy frequency of the waves coming out of him returns to normal and blends in with the environment. Do not stimulate the Android signal detector to report to the authorities via satellite.

At that time, government officials often searched our house. Like a dog with a sensitive nose But Grandfather used cunning to manage the situation smoothly.

That way was a door that blended in with the outside bathroom wall. There was an exit through to behind a bookcase that appeared to be on the other side of the wall. But actually The bookcase is designed as a movable wall.

When I reached the point where I used to sit and cry for my grandfather's passing alone. I sat and listened carefully to the conversation between the two of them.

“Mark, it's been seven years now. You know that your comeback this time, right? There was a real risk that Jinyoung would be caught. I can't delay any longer. If you don't enter the freezing system, all of us will be destroyed.”

The audience narrowed their eyes and stared intently.

“Then stop hiding it from me, Jia Er... Jinyoung is wanted. It's not just because he's an android, right?”

Huh?

“What are you talking about?” Teacher Jackson sternly said.

“Jinyoung didn't just wake up seven years ago. But you're hiding something inside Jinyoung. And I have to know.”

Eh? Had Jinyoung woke up before that? So it might be during the war.

“Because of this, you deliberately made Jinyoung sad in order to put pressure on me? But I'm sorry, no matter what, I will definitely not play your game. Jinyoung told me that he doesn't care about the past. He wants to prove that his love is current. I also think you should give Jinyoung a chance to do that.”

"Shh..." Mark made a sound of protest. "I've changed my mind. Android Mark's memories. Never mind. Now I want Mark's memories. Tuan returned more than once.”

Teacher Jackson's face turned pale. "What are you talking about?"

Mark smiled teasingly at the corner of his mouth.

“You can't fool me all the time. You pretended I was a copycat. And knowingly tried to pair me with that android."

The other party was weak in the knees. He staggered, leaning his legs against the edge of the table.

What? It means that this Mark is Mark. Is that the original? So why did he survive until this time? And what about Teacher Jackson saying that the nutrients in the freezing system were choked?

Even though I'm curious about things that I can't find an answer to right now, this is Mark's big problem. Because of this mistake, why did he suddenly agree to go back into the freezer with Jinyoung?

"I'm not fooling you. But you're an android. Plus I woke up with no memories.”

“So you lied that I was an android to get rid of the problem, but I'm sorry, Mark's identity. Duan is the only information this mind has left for me.”

Damn it, Jinyoung is so pitiful like this. I could only think about the story of the other side all along. Plus, when I meet the person I love, it turns out it's not the real me anymore.

“So what do you want me to do? Since your Jinyoung isn't here anymore. Only Android remains. At least your bodies are both androids. Damn it, why do I have to make excuses? When that guy You know you're not an Android, so why didn't you tell me? Why did Ampha take it and then run away, causing people to misunderstand?"

“Because what you said doesn't match what I am. That's why I don't believe it." Followed by a loud pounding on the table that made me flinch.

The room was quiet for a long moment.

“Forget it,” Mark finally said in a cold voice. “If you take Mark's memories Tuan returned it to me. I will go back and sleep in that capsule.”

"But if that's the case, It means you have to go into the freezer with Jinyoung's android. Can you really accept it?”

"Isn't that what you wanted?" The deep voice was sarcastic.

"I don't want to I'm just a scientist for employers. The only person who wants that is you.”

"I? What do I want?” The expression wasn't as curious as a question. But instead, it was more of an offense to get the other party to spit out something.

Teacher Jackson had a clearly serious expression on his face. He closed his eyes and sighed.

"I really can't restore your memories. If I do, you will have nightmares while sleeping in the capsule."

“So I'm not living in a nightmare these days? Even though this is me But I have no memory of myself. There were only lies that I was my own android and feelings of longing for Jinyoung.”

“But it's still better…” Teacher Jackson muttered in a low voice.

"Huh? “Wang Jieer,” a taller figure strode over. “What are you hiding? Tell me now."

Teacher Jackson suddenly shook his head.

"Still stubborn. Stop making excuses or insisting on stories you made up. I want my memories back If you can't get a loan At least tell me the whole truth... Tell me all the things I have forgotten, now!”

"The truth I'm telling you is... You really are an android, Mark. No matter how many thousands of times I have to say it, You are an android."

“If you insist on that. I really must leave here. And will probably never get back into the capsule again.”

"But at least You should talk to Jinyoung one more time,” Teacher Jackson began to plead.

"Talking is useless. If I were a copy Because Jinyoung's memories right now aren't those of an android either.”

heard this Teacher Jackson's eyes widened.

I quickly covered my mouth with my hand before an exclamation could escape.

"impossible... Well, when..."

“Since you erased the original Jinyoung's memories?” The sound of the person who opened the door made everyone stunned.

"Jinyoung... Why are you here..." Teacher Jackson seemed to be freaking out.

"When Mark remembers I remember that too. We are both real people. You should be satisfied with that, right? Mark"

I just noticed tears streaming down his cheeks.

“Even though I woke up as an android with disjointed memories, But I've always wondered. Why do you have so many memories of the original Jinyoung left in your head? I tried to answer to myself that maybe it was because I was programmed to be exactly like the original in every way.

Therefore, if there are images in your memory that affect your personality and character traits that are duplicates of the originals, it is not strange. But Bambam's words this morning made me think of something. The book about the blue rocks that Mark had bought was something I cherished and was very personal to. There was no way I was going to let Android Jinyoung, who had a tendency to fall in love with the same human as me, have access to it.

Plus I'm so attached to it that I tell it to BamBam as a bedtime story."

Ah... Just like this, at that time Mark Tuan had tears in his eyes... When I talk about rocks

“Even if I break down every time I think of my other half. But it's still the same rock that can't stop the longing for the other half... The first moment I met Mark I don't have any doubts. Who is he? We're both attracted to each other. We are sure that we love each other.

Now I'm sure that maybe Mark is as original as I am. Because of this He was confused when he realized I was an android.”

Jinyoung walked over and stood in front of Mark. The tears still flow without ceasing.

“So… please, Mark. Don't revive our memories any further.”

What? I'm completely confused. If you can remember, you probably want your memories back, right?

Mark pulled Jinyoung's body into a possessive hug.

"Tell me... what are you carrying?"

"Bear? I don't bear anything."

Mark wiped the tears on the other's cheeks. before resting his forehead on the forehead of his lover

"But you look very hurt."

Jinyoung shook his head. Lift your head and stare into your eyes.

“Probably because two rocks that yearned for each other broke and turned into dust. But in the end, the wind brought them back to each other.”

Mark chuckled.

"People who cry at endings like that Isn't that usually me?"

Jinyoung laughed.

“Mark, come back with me. Let's go back to that freezer together. The past means nothing to me. Just having you by my side right now makes me feel fulfilled.” Jinyoung finished speaking and spread a soft smile.

Suddenly, the atmosphere of the entire room seemed to glow brightly.

What... this kind of feeling?

Jinyoung in Mark's embrace Smiling happily But my heart was not happy with the sight in front of me.

I feel hot all over my body and heart. Trembling throughout the body My eyes were completely blurred with tears that had welled up without realizing it.

regain consciousness When he heard a soft voice, he rang out softly.

“Jia Er... My duty is to take care of Bambam from now on. It must be yours completely.”

I shook my head and pushed the bookcase wall away.

"no! Where is Jinyoung going?

"Mr. Bambam!"

I hugged Jinyoung tightly.

“Isn't that freezer still not finished repairing? I promised that I would be the one to repair that machine. I'll take Jinyoung back to sleep. And now the machine isn't finished yet. Jinyoung can't go anywhere. I will give my hair to someone else to take care of easily. This can't be like this." Then I let out a loud yelp.

This moment is no longer embarrassing. No matter how many tears I can shed I just wish Jinyoung was still with me. At least until I graduate and fix the hibernation system that will keep Jinyoung dreaming for the rest of his life.

"BamBam..." Jinyoung hugged me gently. “That freezer is finished. Teacher Jackson... No, Dr. Wang Ji Er took care of everything.”

"No...!" I shook my head, not wanting to hear anything.

Jinyoung sighed softly.

“But BamBam didn't break his promise to me. Because the person who brought me to my house is you, and for me, Mr. BamBam is another home... forever"

"No... Jinyoung, you don't have to say it anymore."

"Sooner or later I have to go anyway. How fast do I go? Both you BamBam and Jia Er will be safer.”

"But we've always been safe, haven't we?" I argued.

"It will be safer. If I were in a frozen capsule I haven't gone anywhere. Still in this house."

“But Jinyoung wouldn't even open his eyes to speak to me. Didn't cook for me Didn't tell me a story We won't kiss each other before school."

"Those things... When Khun BamBam grows up They won't want me anymore."

"That's not true... Don't go, Jinyoung. Huh!" I screamed.

Everyone in the room looked at each other in distress.

However, safety is of utmost importance. When Mark agreed to go back and sleep in the capsule again. Jinyoung also had to log into the system.

In the deepest basement of Grandpa's house is a hibernation system.

The capsule cover, which is made of special glass, closes. Their eyes slowly narrowed, but Mark and Jinyoung still held hands. Before the pulse level gradually gradually decreasing

I came to send Jinyoung off with a broken heart.

“Your moon has returned to the sky,” Teacher Jackson said, squeezing my shoulder as I stood with my head hanging in view of the vault door locking securely.

“Will Jinyoung be happy in there? Is he having nightmares?" I asked. "It's all too easy and too fast. I had a bad intuition.”

The day Jinyoung appeared in Grandpa's office. I found a bottle of the chemicals that nourish the android system in the kitchen trash.

At first I was a little concerned. But I'm still not sure. I just thought it was a small bottle that I had never seen before. Until when Teacher Jackson mixed that chemical with liquid to load into the system a moment ago. When I asked the teacher, he replied that it was a concentrated nutritional formula. So I thought back to the time Jinyoung talked with Teacher Jackson at home.

Teacher Jackson stopped as he walked me into the elevator. before looking through the glass wall into the room

"Be happy, even if it crumbles to dust. But we have returned to the embrace that we have longed for."

“Can I come see Jinyoung anytime?” I asked again as the elevator closed.

"Every door and window here Can be unlocked with your fingerprint. There is no place in this house that you cannot enter. Because this is your home."

Because of this I was able to follow Teacher Jackson and Mark. It's not that they were careless.

“Now there is only my moon left. which has not yet returned to the sky."

“What do you mean?” I looked up at the teacher's eyes filled with meaning.

“The moon that falls from the sky causes memory loss. No matter how many months or years pass, it won't go away. It's okay to fall in love with someone else's light. But it's okay. I've been waiting for decades. What's the point of waiting a few more years?"

"Teacher, are you waiting for someone?" I furrowed my brow in confusion.

It's true, someone in a body that is more advanced than an android like Teacher Jackson. There is definitely an extraordinary depth behind it.

"The person who will release teachers back to humanity again. The person the teacher had planned to grow old with."

When reaching the upper floor I quickly grabbed the shirt of Teacher Jackson who was walking to pick up the house keys and prepared to go buy food as if nothing had happened.

“Why doesn't Jinyoung want Mark's memory to be restored? You two love each other, right?"

Teacher Jackson turned and looked at me with a look of anguish in his eyes that I never expected.

"I really don't know. How much does Jinyoung remember the past?"

Ah... Not only me, but Teacher Jackson probably knows too. About the chemicals that Jinyoung stole from the lab.

"But he was probably proving his pure love by making a painful sacrifice."

“It means what Jinyoung remembers. It's not a good memory."

There was no answer from the person asked.

"Or because of this Teacher Jackson had to insist on the lie that they were both androids.”

Looks like I guessed right. His handsome face turned and smiled softly at me. But those eyes were so sad that it was frightening.

“Shortly before the Android War broke out. Biological warfare has occurred before. The way forward for those with money and power in those days was to transform their bodies into android copies of themselves. But at the time of the transferee's recovery process, Terrorists also resort to tampering with signals and using transplanted androids to wage war...

Unfortunately, Jinyoung was one of their puppets. No matter how much he opposes the war But he was unable to resist his body being overwhelmed by the new system. There are no memorable memories. There is only the need to persecute each other."

"Don't tell me..."

They both had to kill each other?

Teacher Jackson averted his eyes.

"Mark must kill Jinyoung to save humanity."

Ah... it hurts so much. Just hearing that makes me depressed.

“That guy carried Jinyoung back. Both of their transplanted bodies were so damaged that it could be said that they were almost soulless. I tried to help them by transferring their brain signals into the android's body that had previously been a copy of theirs. When resetting both their android bodies I made a promise to Mark that I would never return those memories to both Mark and Jinyoung.”

"Huh? Does that mean Mark and Jinyoung have two duplicate androids?”

“You can say that. The first generation of Androids were frozen in order to preserve their true love according to their original intentions. But I don't want to believe that One day it will have to be used to truly preserve the life of the original.”

Because of this... He had to insist to the end that they were both androids that had never been tainted by the war.

“That's crazy. What if Jinyoung remembered those things? Haven't you had any nightmares in that capsule until now? I'm going to help Jinyoung. I'll wake him up!”

A large hand quickly grabbed me before I could reenter the elevator.

"The stone that was taken away Was continuously changing shape No day will be the same. However, even if your body is shattered and turned into dust, Finally it was returned to the forest... return to its other half Why do you think Jinyoung stuck to the contents of this book?”

I calmed down.

“It's not just books that people give as gifts. But it is a promise between the two of them. It is true love that wants to protect the one you love. It's a better way to preserve true love than putting a copy of the couple in a capsule. therefore... So I had to comply with Jinyoung's request.

Just like when I fulfilled Mark's request."

Teacher Jackson's shoulders trembled.

The people who had to be sacrificed were probably not just those two. But Teacher Jackson too?

I hugged his muscular body tightly.

"I will help the teacher get back her moon."

If it's a way to heal that loneliness and bitterness

But Teacher Jackson didn't smile.

"You don't have to look anywhere. Let him travel until he is satisfied first. If he remembers when He will come back to the teacher himself."

Suddenly, my damn stomach growled.

Teacher Jackson laughed.

How embarrassing.

"Are you hungry? From now on, you'll have to eat my food," he said, pinching the tip of my nose like a fang.

Park Jin Young, my first love, is there still a little bit of me in your sleep? I know that you are fulfilled by finding your lover. Even if it comes at the cost of hiding the pain. But the joy from that sacrifice would be even greater. I can only hope that my identity in your memories can heal some of that pain, more or less.

Even though our time is less than a decade... It was nothing compared to the long agony before that.

When you wake up again I may not be in this world anymore. But I will pray for you and Mark to be happy. Because of my happiness is to see the moon shine beautifully Whether waxing or waning

P.S. Now I have Teacher Jackson who sits and looks at the moon together almost every night.

finish.

Finally... it was finished.

The second half did a lot of editing, changing a lot of ideas. There are a lot of stories behind my head. There were so many that I could write it into the next part. (But please don't write. I had already put aside many issues) and ended up bringing Jimmy Liao's book into the mix. But I didn't take the title and the writer's name to appear in the story.

Because it was just assembled in a simple way. Because the story is halfway through, the romance still can't be found. So I had to borrow the romance from other writers' writings ^^; I think anyone who is a fan of Jimmy Liao's books will know what it is about. It's that clear.

Because it was preserved for a long time. There must be a lot of holes. So there were some fixes in the early years, filling up the leaks a bit. If it's still leaking, I'm truly sorry. Because he changed his ideas so many times that even he was dizzy.

Thank you for still following.
