Mirage

These cold and dark walls...

same plain color...

darkness creeps and lurks around every corner in this empty house...

“whats the point in having a wealthy family when you dont have anyone at all the spend or share it with.... ” i say as i lie on my living room floor.

“i can make use of today... like ive been doing for my entire life...” i sigh as i get up and i make food. With the ingredients that a worker from my Families company buys me i start to make some pancakes.

As the stove heats up i prepare the batter, i sigh as i start to place the batter on the hot stove, as it starts to get cooked i hear my houses doorbell ring...

how?

who?

what?

now you might think im being overdramatic over hearing my doorbell ring... but the last time its rung... was 14 years ago. i never have visits... so why now?

I quietly walk twords my door that seems like a monster welcoming me into its arms, the doorbell rings yet again and my stomach starts to churn. One footstep after the other i arrive infront of my door, my hands get sweaty as i place my hand on the door handle.

“...w..w-who’s there” i say in a quiet voice.

“oh? h-hello! i-im here with your groccery order! i-i just need your signature” the sound of a mans voice rings trough my ears.

“o-ok.. b-but cant you just leave it out there....” i stuter as your voice cracks.

“are you sick ma’am?” the man responds

“...y-yes... in a way...” my breathing starts to get a bit ragged.

“its fine! i dont get sick easily, but i cant give you your groceries till you open the door, im sorry but my boss would kill me if i dont get your signature. my life is already in shambles as is...” he chuckles and my hands start to tremble.

" p-please just leave it there... i-i cant go outside...”

" i-i cant ma’am...” the man says quietly and i shut my eyes tightly. i take a deep breath and i bite my lip as i open my eyes and open the door. i unlock the four locks i have on my door as the door slowly opens.

i grab a mask that is always next to my door on a small table along with a baton that hangs on my coat rack. i put the mask on as i slowly resum to open the door and i peak my head outside.

“y-yes?” i say timidly as the man... no more like a young man that has smooth and perfect skin,my eyes then travel down to his name tag....

‘Park Jimin...’ I say internally, he smiles brightly as i look down embaresses and scared.

“thank you ma’am, here you go” he hands me the paper to sign and i stare at it.

“m-ma’am?... “he gets a bit closer as i close the door a bit as a reflex.

" oh... sorry i dident mean to scare you” he smiles softly, i nod and i stick my baton out and point to the ground.

“place it on the ground and back away please...” i say quietly and th man tilts his head, he slowly places the paper on the clip bord down with a pen and backs away. I swipe the board inside and sign it and place it on th ground again, my baton pushes the board out and the man looks at me curiously, i keep my gaze down to the floor and i hear footsteps get closer. My body reacts on its own and strikes whoever it is with the baton rapidly and a yelp rings in my ears as i open my eyes that were shut, jimin grabbed the baton and he holds his head in pain.

“s-sorry...” i say awkardly and the mans face that was cringing in pain relaxes and smiles.

“i-its fine.. i just needed to get the clip board.” he chuckles and shakes it infront of your face.

“o-oh..” my ears scortch bright red as embaresment floods in my body like a broken dam. He stands there and stares at me and i shift my weight on my right foot and i look down again.

“i-is there anyhing else?” my soft voice cracks.

“oh! n-no sorry, i-i’ll be going! have agreat day.” he smiles and runs back to his moped and waves at me and i shut the door closed immediately. I wait a bit and then slowly open the door, jimin was riding out of the gates and i let out a relived sigh as i grab the bags and haul them in. i relize i never gave him his pen back htat has small little cartoons of anpanman on it.

My smoke alarmers go off and i dash to my burnt pancakes.

“aish! hot! hot! hot!” i toss the entire pan in the trash as i sigh.

“great now i have no breakfast... i guess an apple can fill me up.” i chuckle to myself.

Jimins p.o.v

she was such an odd girl... i keep replaying hwat just happened in my head as i chuckle.

“she was cute...” i finally arrive to my house... well more like my laboratory.

“JIMINEEEEEEEEEE” a loud voice screetches and my bestfriend Tae stumbles out and tackles me in a hug.

“aish! tae! i just came from work and im tired. al i want to do is relax” i sigh and tae frowns.

“when you say relax you mean your going to work on your twin?” he pouts.

“maybe...” i sigh.

“i miss him im going to go see him” i fake cry and tae laughs at me, we both walk inside and the three other pabo’s look up from there screens.

“oh? hey jimin!” hobi smiles as he goes back to typing some codes.

“hey guys, are you guys done with the small tasks i left you?” i ask and jungkook sits up on the couch and wipes some drool off his face.

“definetly! 100% done” he says in a sleepy voice.

“you made us basically turn 10000 years of knowlege in a lesson for kindergarteners” namjoon stretches his arms and i roll my eyes.

“come on guys i dont pay you for nothing” i cross my arms and hobi looks at me.

“you dont pay us at all jimin” he says bluntly.

“w-well maybe i was actually going to pay you guys today” i cough awkwardly

“we’re actually going to get paid?” junkooks eye widen and tae rushes over to jungkook and hugs him.

“we can finally get some good beer for once!!!” tae and jungkook pretend to sob in happiness.

“with what money? were practically living here illegally, this is just some run down and old small factory that someone abandoned” namjoon shakes his head.

" aish, dont tell the intern” i growl and jungkooks doe eyes look at me in sadness.

“i thought you said you were going to give me a bonus?” he says in disbelif and i look at him deadpanned.

“we let you live here rookie, thats pay enough” jungkooks sad expression turns into a happy and bubbly one again.

“oh! your right!” he smiles like an idiot.

“anyways let me see what you have all done so far!” i excitedly walk to my handsome bestfriend.

“B-61213, wake up” i smile

“hello mr.park ” he smiles and greets me.

“is it just me or is he weird” tae looks at namjoon as they judge my healthy relationship with my robot that we all made together.

" no your dead on point” he gets up and they all walk to us.

“hello B-61213, whats the weather going to be like today?” hobi asks him

“its going to be 76 degrees today, with 70% precipitation, dont forget your umbrella if your going out” the robot says and smiles friendly.

“hyung... why did you have to make him look like you?... isent that... creepy?” jungkook shivers since both jimin and B-61213 look exactly the same.

" i wanted to make the robot seem more friendly, handsome, charming, cute, sexy-” namjoon cuts me off.

" it was because he, and i quote said “he wishes there could be two of himself” .” namjoon shakes his head and i glare at him.

" B-61213 arent i cute?” i act cute and i look back and see tae and jungkook waving and mouthing “say no”.

“if that helps you sleep at night, ha, ha, ha” my robot laughs at me and so does everyone else.

“TAE! did you program him to say that! ” i scold him and tae shakes his head.

“maybe he knows the truth, and doesent just rely on codes to make decisions which are quiet clear and obvious” tae sticks his tounge out and namjoon shakes his head yet again.

“robots can never do that by themselves, they always need coding to do anything, even to bat a lash. maybe he’s on friend mode?” namjoon goes over to his computer and starts typing away.

“party pooper” tae pouts and i look back at B-61213.

" we’re almost done.... we can finally sell him off and become world wide engineers that everybody is going to envy...” i sigh as i day dream and hobi stands next to me.

" we just need to upload 12 more folders filled with codes that Namjoon is finishing up, then he’s done...” hobi smiles as a loud slurping noise echos the room, Jungkook stands next to us and sips his juice box.

“Hey, make sure you don’t spill anything near here, we can’t risk having B-61213 Short circuiting” I scold him and he rolls his eyes.

“I’m not a little kid” Jungkook sips his juice and walks back to the couch.

" Tommorow I have an interview with a possible investor in our robot . And if everything goes well maybe then I can quit my job as being the delivery boy for that supermarket I work for. ”

I rub my head and I remember the girl who was so shy and nearly beat me to death with her small baton, and i unconsciouslly smile and hobi looks at me weirdly.

“What?” I finally snap out of it and my smile remains on my face.

“What’s got you so happy?” He chuckles and pokes my face and I try and hide my smile.

“What? Can’t a man just be happy for once?” I growl and hobi rolls his eyes.

“Il be back guys I have to pick up the feast of the gang since they went out to get some food” I sigh as I get ready to leave.

“Oh and Tae Don’t show B-61213 anymore of your lewd magazines” I open the door and tae’s jaw drops.

“ANI ANI! It Wasent me! Those were Namjoons magazines!” He protests and Namjoon growls.

“I would never read such magazines! It was hobi’s” he shouts back

“Why doesn’t anyone think they’re mine?” Jungkook tilts his head to the side.

" the adults are speaking Jungkook” I glare at him and he goes back to sipping his apple juice

“Just don’t donit again? Okay? Okay, bye” I walk to the company van... which is just an old rundown van Namjoon took from his mom.

Narrator-

Meanwhile as Namjoon types away Jungkook and Tae approach the robot.

“I bet you my life savings that we’re going to eat chicken with beer” Tae jumps around happily.

“I can have beer?” Jungkooks eyes twinkle with happiness.

“Maybe!” Tae squeals as the both jump up and down excited for the food.

As they hop around like small bunnies..... Jungkook trips on a wire connected to B-61213′s charging station. As he falls back his foot rubs on some wires..... tae’s foot entangles on wires as well.....

As they collapse......

And rip the wires out. Namjoon and hobi look up from their screens and see them on the floor. They run over to them but sparks of electricity fly around making them all suck for cover. The charging station completely short circuits and sparks keep flying around.

B-61213′S eyes open again and through the chaos it gets up off the chair and walks down the steps. As the chaos stops and the smoke dies down hobi starts coughing and tries to look at what’s left of their invention..... they all open their eyes and look towards B-61213.......

“ITS GONE!?!?!!?!!”

They all shout and they scramble to their feet and serch outside, in cabinets, in some of their rooms..... but it wasn’t as if the earth swallowed it up whole and made it disappear.....

" does this mean I won’t get to drink beer? Jungkook asks and Namjoon glares at him and tosses a wrench at him but he dodges... which breaks something else.

Y/n’s p.o.v

“Hey alexiri play popular music ” I shout at my small device which responds with an “Okay”. Some girl group starts playing and it actually has a cool beat.

" black pink in your area~” I hum along as I pull out my computer and start to work from home like I always do. After a while a boy group comes on and I tap my foot to the beat.

“You can call me monster~” I get up from working and away myself around, but rustling from outside catches my attention.

“Alexiri turn off music” I order and the music halts, I run to my mask with gloves and my baton. I look through the peep hole but there was nothing....

I open the door slowly and I check around.... but there was nothing. I close the door and I try to ignore the noise I heard.

“Geez I’m going delusion-” the sound of something rustling in my backyard catches my attention yet again. I run outside and hold my baton like a bat.

“Who there?! Come out!” I shout, but I get no response. I quietly roam around when a shoe picked out from behind a bush.

“W-wha...” I get quiet and approach the shoe... and to my disgraceful surprise... it was still connected to someone. I jump back and I accidentally trip on my own feet as a hand grabs me before I fall.

It can’t be....
