Triggered

Prologue

As the microchip containing the memories of her and him slipped out of her hand, Christine slowly bent down to pick it up. As soon as she regained back her posture from picking up the microchip, she looked straight at the souless and lifeless figure lying down on the bed. He had a flawless face,with no signs of imperfectness anywhere, his brown hair draped over his forehead like a curtain. His brown hair was in bits of messy locks, but it looked really cute, as least to Christine. This time, tears started to stream down her face as she recalled the sweet and bitter memories they had together in the past, making her collar wet with tears. She recalled how he smiled, with beautiful dimples shown on both sides of his face.

-flashback-
"I want you to get away from Christine now. As far as possible. She dosen't need you as a boyfriend, because you're not meant for her. I will give you 1 week to slowly stay out of her life. If you do not do so by then, you'll be really sorry.", Christine's father raged at Hongbin. Hongbin looked at Christine's father, unfazed. He wasn't scared of him, he didn't want to leave Christine too. Hongbin said in a serious tone,"You can't break me and Christine up. Even if you give me lots of money, i won't be bribed." This time, Christine's father got even more furious. He grinned in an evil way,"What if i hurt your family? Would you stay there and do nothing?" And he stood there shrugging at Hongbin and giving him an innocent look. Hongbin got really scared at the mention of his parents and family being harmed. Being furious and seethed with rage, not being able to fight back with the domineering director, Hongbin walked out of the director's (Christine's father's) office and slammed the door behind him. Hongbin thought,"Just you wait.. I'll show you that it's not just money that can make the world go round."
For the next few days, Hongbin tried to stay away from Christine as far as possible, for the fear that he might never get to see his parents again if he stayed near to Christine. Christine, too felt that it was really odd for the really sweet Hongbin that was always so caring to suddenly stop caring for her. They became more distant and distant, till the point whenever Chrissia asked Hongbin where he was going, Hongbin wouldnt reply and he wouldnt answer her calls.

/On the Sunday of the week/
Christine received a call through her phone when she was preparing to go for work. She worked as a laboratory scientist. She dressed herself up and was about to put on her make up when her phone started to ring,"igeon beautiful lie, nae majimak geojitmal..." and she went to pick it up. "Hello?", as Christine asked. The other end sounded,"Hello, this is the police. A body was found in an apartment today morning and when we searched through the records of the phone, which we believed is his, we found your number. Please come over to the police station to identify the body." Christine dropped her phone. She knew that it was Hongbin, but she was not so sure yet. So she went over to the police station to identify the body. "Come over here please," as the policeman brought her over to the body. He opened up the zip of the bag, to reveal a body of Hongbin. He laid in the bag, lifeless and still. He had a stabbed chest and nothing else on him was destroyed. Christine stared at the body in disbelief. It was really Hongbin's! Christine went over and reached her trembling hands towards Hongbin's cold ones. Tears flowed down her eyes freely and onto Hongbin's cold and lifeless body, ready to drown him in the bag. Christine managed to voice out,making her words more and more worked up," Lee Hongbin... how could you leave me?! You promised me that you would take care of me forever! Hongbin!! Why didn't you fufill your promise?!Now that you're gone, what am i supposed to do? Tell me would you?" And at this moment, she carried Hongbin up in bridal style, still dressed in his clothes when the murder happened and ran out of the identification room. The policeman came to his senses when he realised that Chrissia and the body was missing, leaving the empty bag behind.

/on the road/
Christine, still carrying Hongbin, was talking to him,"No, you're not dead no you're not dead!!" She refused to accept the fact that Hongbin was dead so she brought Hongbin into the lab. It was her third month working in the lab. She asked Professor Jasmeet for help, asking what she can do to revive Hongbin, seeing Hongbin still being lifeless on the bed, like he was sleeping peacefully without distractions. Professor Jasmeet mouthed," A steel heart is the only way..."

-Back to reality-
Christine looked at the microchip in her hand and inched closer to the lifeless boy. She had already inserted the steel heart into the lifeless figure a few months ago and is waiting for him to wake up. As she helped the unconcious Hongbin up to put in the microchip, he suddenly woke up. His brown eyes jolted to life almost instantly and Christine felt a sense of relief that her cyborg plan worked. She thought to herself,"Hongbin is now reborn as a whole new person and soon enough, we can start all over..." As Christine took a few nervous inches to close in to Hongbin, Hongbin looked at his crumpled top and tried to make it neater, being the perfectionist that he was. He slowly looked at Christine and took a closer look, giving her unfamiliar looks. She managed to make his human qualities and emotions work on Hongbin. Hongbin continued to stare at Christine and said,"Hello." Christine happily chirped,"Hi, do you remember me?" As looks of hope flashed across her face, still holding the microchip. Hongbin's eyes darted to Christine, cautiously asking,"Where are my parents?and... who are you?"
