"Hey no! Where are you going! Stop! You can't go in there! Yoongi stop!!"

"Hey no! Where are you going! Stop! You can't go in there! Yoongi stop!!"

My eyelids burst open revealing the season outside. Sweat rosaries were in the pink on my forehead. On opening my eyes it struck my consciousness that it was all a dream. But I couldn't shed that away for how audacious it was. Yoongi was trying to throw eggless pastries at me! So silly.

Anyways I registered that the climate grew even colder this sunrise. The tip of my nose was the iciest part of the whole body. Suddenly I grasped something unusual near my feet.

Something cold long rope-like or something like a snake! I jumped off the bed shivering for the freezy air which surrounded me. My stripped skin acquired goosebumps all over. I embraced myself with my arms and slightly removed the cover. I discovered a rubber toy snake at the edge.

That grim dummy. It has to be him. With no other thoughts in mind, I seized the snake and scurried out.

***

I went directly to the foreroom, me covered in my shorts and a v-neck tee, my night comforts.

I stood before the already giggling and whispering two young men, bending my left elbow to my waist and holding the toy snake on the right.

I darted my eyes at the two amazed souls who looked up at me, showering sparkles of naivety by dint of their sockets.

"This belongs to you right?" I said, throwing the rubber piece on the table glass.

Their eyes followed the rhythm of the snake as I dropped it on the centre table.

Taepung replaced his gape at my heated face and gulped once or twice. "Ye it is mine. But I didn't keep it on your billet!"

"Oh yeah. Then who did this? Your ghost?" I spat at his handsome face.

He shook his skull."Ani not me! It was Yoongi hyung I swear!"

"Excuse me? What? Yoongi why on earth did you do that! Who the hell asked you to do this!?" I boiled with anger. I could feel my blood vessels warm up, such that it could rupture and cause a haemorrhage anon.

Yoongi and Taepung exchanged some mere glances and Taepung popped up from his seat.

"It was him," Yoongi pointed his index at the panic-stricken teen with his lips curved in the upper direction.

I stroke my visions at Taepung and clenched my fists. "Wait nobody can save you from my care today Taepung!" I ranted with gritted teeth. My jaws were vibrating with rage.

As I stepped forward to get hold of Taepung's collar, my uncle turned up out of nowhere.

"Stop fighting so early in the morn'. What's the issue today?"

"Samchon he's.... he has crossed his limits now. He played a stupid prank today. And it was way too idiotic for words!" I complained at one puff.

"Arasso but what did he do?"

"He kept this on my bed! I was nearly to get a stroke this morning!" My eyes became watery as I picked up the rubber snake and swung it in the open.

"Oh god, Taepung! Why do you keep on annoying your noona?"

Taepung grabbed his shirt and his jaw dropped. "Aniyo! It wasn't me! It was hyung's plan!"

"Huh? Are you sure?" asked uncle Jack in disbelief.

Taepung nodded, "Yes it was he who woke me this morning and gave me the bombastic idea."

"Taepung better stop making up your foolish stories. Are you kidding me? How can Yoongi set up such plans to tease me!" I quarrelled putting my hands in the pockets.

"No no it was him who said that. I ain't lying!" the young teenager protested.

Uncle poked in. " Yeah, he can be right. Yoongi does have the power to sense his own imagines and create his own desires. He is not any ordinary robot. He's a human-robot who will have immense influence in the future centuries."

I shot an eerie glance at the weary pack of bones as each word fled his edges. "You mean he was lying right now? Cuz he held Taepung responsible for the lark!"

"He possibly can. It's all pieces of stuff of cybernetics and cognition. When a droid is formulated with artificial cognition in its motherboard, he or she is having the capability to do every single task which a blood and flesh man can handle. This implies that he is more powerful and quick-witted than most humans." Uncle threw light on his proficiency skills.

His words were incomparable to the ones that I heard before. A cyborg with a completely self-controlled brain. It was cool yet also spooky. This made me consume an even more cryptic picture of his in my mind. I'm an instant dictionary of medical sciences but too poor for IT. Yeah, somehow I preferred to keep his thoughts untouched.

"Okay, I'll leave then. Doctors have no holiday." I gestured and hooked back to my jobs.

Finally, after a long day of vile strenuous anxiety, my appendages heaved a heavy sigh on getting in touch with the pliant bed mattress at night. I only ruminated on the maxim of life "Eat, work, sleep, repeat and live." This should be the ultimate motto of all living creatures in the universe. Unfortunately, everybody is not that easygoing.

An unknown vista...

The peace clock tower hands struck midnight. A faint chime of the huge round clock waved with the bitter sharp zephyr. The sound travelled through the roads, colonies, lanes and finally whirred at the eardrums of a nocturnal sightseer. He traipsed through the moonlit streets, all lonely and placid.

A disk framed full moon grinned towards the frosty tranquillity of Seoul. The bright radiance of the natural satellite kissed the curled foliages of the planet's greenery. The leaves had a silver touch up by the lustre. The lakes represented an ocean of viscous mercury with little ripples and twirls as the leaves from the branches of the Zelcovas trees dropped on its surface. Millions of stars twinkled in the clear shade of navy blue. A sweet aroma of lavender oil dispersed in the air.

The midnight spectator cruised on. His profile was still a secret under the hoodie cap and black mask. With his hands secured in his jeans pockets, he walked with the pace of a bloodthirsty vampire, shrewd to meet a mortal sucker. His feet stomped one by one producing a groggy notice for the friction of the shoe soles and mosaic tiles footpath. The sparkling yonder followed his maze.

After a long walk, his body halted before a two-storeyed mansion. His forlom mental faculties got him indifferent to the biometric outside the iron gate. He mounted up and capered over to the other side without delay. The metal charms on his boots shimmered as the moonlight reflected on them.
