Re:Created [Leobin]

He opened his eyes and felt like it was the very first time he did. He slowly moved his eyeballs, feeling uncomfortable with his slightly blurry vision. He blinked. Eyelids moving down and up. He rolled his tongue and opened his mouth just slightly before closing it again. There was no saliva in his mouth and it felt almost too dry. He tilted his head and started moving his fingers as well. When his vision cleared, he saw 2 people standing before him in awe. One male and one female. He didn't know who they were but they gave him a sense of familiarity with their sudden smiles. He moved his body, feeling his stiffness everywhere. He stepped down from what seemed like a machine he was hooked to. He turned his head slowly and lifted his arms.

"How do you feel, Leo?" The female asked. Leo. That should be my name, he thought. He looked around the place. Nothing came to him except basic knowledge. He had no memories. He knew the room he was in looked like some kind of experiment room with its machinery and equipment everywhere.

"W-who.... am... I?" He said slowly while testing out his vocal cords. He felt like talking was a natural thing to him. So is moving now. Blinking. Breathing.

"You're not a human. You're a robot. One that we both created," the male said while walking up to him and lifting his arms to check.

"Robot. Machine."

"Yep."

Created. Odd. When Leo opened his eyes for the first time and took in his situation, he felt something was off with everything. Firstly he felt like the two who created him didn't see him as just a creation. Secondly his features matches those of the late scientist. Thirdly the female always seemed sad when Leo was around. After his first few months of learning and improving, he found out that not everything seem as simple as it looks. He was machine so he was incapable of feeling. He could register the feelings but showing it was something else even though he was given a flexible jaw that can put on a smile like any regular human. He needed to charge up everyday or he would be at a risk of shutting down.

He had no purpose.

The male whose name was Hongbin told him his purpose was just to be natural and show that machines can live among humans but he could sense the lie in his words. About 6 months passed before signs of even more uncertainty rised as the female whose name was Yerin started calling him Taekwoon instead of Leo. Hongbin often corrected himself as well. Leo tried interrogating Hongbin about it and after a few tries, everything about himself was shown.
