Android 0327

Rosie took Jiyong with her to a underground retailer where rare parts are being sold. Some of the parts of an android are really rare since a lot of people buy it and this place isn't known by anyone in the government so you basically need a connection from the inside to be able to enter. Jisoo also go with them since Jiyong needs someone to carry a couple of parts and Jisoo basically doesnt want Rosie to bring heavy stuff so she insisted to come but not mentioning the part for Rosie.

"Rosie it's been a while" a guy with a beard says and engulfing rosie on a tight hug. Jisoo on the other hand grab the hem of Rosie's jacket to pull her back a bit

"He's one of the technical staff back when I'm doing my photoshoot here" Rosie said to clear things up making Jisoo drop Rosie's jacket. Jiyong extended his hand to introduce himself towards the guy

"Let's go in and do some shopping" he said jokingly making Rosie chuckle. They entered a normal glass door and all of the things around are mostly small robot parts which aren't rare making everyone confused. He gestures to follow him as they reached a vending machine at the back of the store. He grab his ID and push it inside the space where people put their money to buy a drink.

"Normal cash, it drops your drink. A verified ID, let's you in" he said to make them understand. He turns to look around and when no one was looking he pushes a button and it move on the side.

"Damn that's cool" Jisoo said making the guy look at him as he nod. They walk in and the vending machine went back to its place. Another door's on the other side of a short hallway so when they reached it the guy put his thumb for a scan making the 2nd door open after a couple of seconds.

"Go look around, approach me on the counter when you're done" he said smiling at everyone before going back. Jiyong walk around and keeps looking for all the parts that was damaged on Lisa's system while Jisoo walk towards a side where there's a lot of gaming stuff

"Do you still like playing?" Rosie said when she stood next to Jisoo

"You still remember huh?" Jisoo asked back not even expecting that from rosie

"You mostly just go quiet when you're playing back then. But now.. you're just quiet when I'm around" Rosie said truthfully "but I'm glad you stayed the same to everyone.. you made a lot more friends than what you had. I'm happy with that" she said

"Are you making me feel bad? " Jisoo said making Rosie chuckle

"I should be the one to feel bad" she paused and sighed "i didnt just lost someone who I could've end up with in a long run but I also lost a bestfriend whom I cherish a lot. I am really wrong for being used under the spotlight that I didn't even thought of those people who were with me through my darkest time. I know it isn't and will never be enough compared to what you have felt when i shut you off... but I'm sorry... I really am" Rosie said while Jisoo's just standing there looking ahead. No one's even shedding a single tear but you can feel the sadness surfacing between both person.

"It's already been done. We can't bring back the past cause it already happened. That's your decision and even if I did something till now, you will always be the one to choose your decision. I don't want to be so cruel to let you experience the same thing I went through. I've been there and it was never a fun experience for me. I've learned my lesson. But even though I'm saying all of these doesn't mean I can forget everything. I forgive you, you can stop apologizing... but I'm still healing so I hope you understand. I'm not mad at you... I can never be mad at you" Jisoo said before turning her head to give a faint tight lipped smile towards Rosie before turning around to go to Jiyong.

Rosie then sighed as she felt a huge weight lifted out of her chest. She nodded as she process everything inside her head.

She can't really blame Jisoo for feeling that way but she can say that she's still the same old Jisoo whom she liked back then... and the same old Jisoo she starts falling in love now.

"Is these everything?" A random guy asked as Jiyong placed everything on the counter so Jiyong nod and looked at everything

"I'll check em up so you can have the best quality since you're a fried of our guy right here" he said pointing at Rosie's friend on the side. Jisoo who's standing next to Jiyong looked around not seeing Rosie and when her eyes landed on a counter on the other side there stood the blonde woman who seems to be buying something for herself.

After a couple more minutes everything's packed up. Jisoo was about to grab one of the box but Rosie's friend stopped her

"It's alright I'll give you guys a hand " he said smiling as he lifted two boxes while Jiyong has 2 boxes as well. "Android?" He asked while they're walking out. Jiyong looked at the guy not knowing if he should say "these parts are especially for androids man that's why I know. But not to cross any line.. isn't it prohibited?" He asked

"It is.. but I'm trying to do my best to keep it" Jiyong replied

"I see.." he recall what Jiyong bought and the other ones "stomach part?" He said basing on what parts he bought

"Yeah,the robot we created can't consume any liquid but.. she did to protect my sister from something" he said

"You did well on your android.. anyway clean up the parts around before you install the new ones. Change wires as well and let something hold the new parts for a couple of days or atleast a week so it'll be more stable. The android will feel uncomfortable about it but it will feel like they just underwent a surgery for a normal human being. It'll help to ensure the quality of the new parts so it can compliment the older ones" he said as they started placing everything on the back of the car

"I'll do that.. thank you for helping us" Jiyong said patting the guy's shoulder

"Sure.. Rosie has my number so if you need something or just want to ask something important don't hesitate" he said as they bid each other goodbye

Rosie and Jisoo's just waiting for them to finish a couple more talks about installation when Rosie hit Jisoo's side with a box softly making the other girl turn.

"I bought this for you" she said making Jisoo look at the box and it's the new PS5 that she's been eyeing on the shop earlier "It's not something to make it up to you or something to give you just because i did something wrong back then or-"

"Rosie...Thank you, i like it" Jisoo said cutting Rosie off from rambling as she flashes a smile at Rosie while she grab the handle of the box to get it from her which makes their hands touch as well before looking back ahead
