Susan's POV
Putting on a cozy gray oversized sweatshirt, I fell on my bead making a light thump sound.
Oh, how I loved laying down on my bed after a very tiring and progressive day. My AI was almost done. All needed right now was the last step required for it activate.
One more step. I'll do it.
I want to prove myself. I want to prove that robots are useful and AIs could help us a lot if put into good use. This human society could prosper a lot, hand in hand with robots. That was my dream.
My dream.
I suddenly felt the bed underneath me shift a little as another figure laid next to me.
Brown orbs looking into my hazel ones.
A smile crept onto my face. He hugged me tight and nuzzled his nose into my neck. Something he'd always do. Something which would make me blush like a complete idiot.
He brought his face back up to mine, scanning me as I myself memorized his details. His distinctive eyes, face which seemed to be carved out of pure marble, pointed nose and lips. Oh those lips.
It appeared as if he read my mind and pressed his warm lush lips into mine.
My lips which were pale and dry. My face which looked more like a potato than the edible root.
He didn't think the same about me tho. He never did. He never made me feel bad about myself. He had stuck by my side for a while now. I never realized but I did slowly feel myself getting attached to him. Catching weird feels every time he'd show theses small gestures. Falling in love with him.
But i couldn't.
I couldn't afford that. I had to be sure to not let that happen. I had already dedicated my life to science. I had already made up my mind. It was too late now. I couldn't let all these years of passion and my ambition go down.
I'm sorry.
I felt like I was betraying them. Betraying him, after what I was about to do. But it was for the greater good. Only if this works out.
One chance.
My trail of thoughts broke down once his tongue entered my mouth in between our heated kiss. I gasped at the sudden weird feeling.
His hands which were on my hips now feeling my skin beneath my sweater. I shivered at his warm touch. Warm touch filled with affection. I couldn't loose myself. But it was hard. Harder than ever.
His lips slowly left my mouth to go down to my chin and gently kiss it. Warm breath making me feel things I shouldn't.
His hands roaming dangerously close to my waistband as I realised I wore nothing beneath.
"Don't..." I whispered.
He nodded understandingly. We promised to take things slow. Slow because I was scared of how the commitment would affect her.
He broke the heated kiss to scan my face once again making me turn a deep shade of beet under his intense gaze. One look of his was guaranteed to make anyone blush despite their sexuality. He had that power.
But he never took advantage of that. I was leaving behind an ideal man.
I smiled at my thought but it soon died down. I was doing it for a cause.
It made me think how this decision could make me look selfless for the world but how selfish when it came to the people around me.
I had indeed hidden a lot of things from them and it would take her a while to figure it all out but I'm sure she will. She'll make me proud.
I felt kisses being placed all the way down to my chest and I let out a shakey breath. I looked down to find his face gently buried in my chest and his hands around my waist. I softly ruffled his curly black hair, loving the feeling of his small curls around my fingers while he gently stroked my own brown locks.
"You're so pretty..." he spoke into my chest. I lightly chuckled. I didn't know how to feel. Offended for the fact that he called me pretty eventhough I didn't feel the same about myself or grateful for the fact that he found me attractive even after all the flaws I held.
"I love you." He mumbled in a low voice. I voice I couldn't unhear.
"Promise me something Taehyung-ah,"
He looked up to meet my gaze. Beautiful eyes shining with light, looking straight into mine.
"Promise me... that you'll look after my AI. No matter what."
He frowned a little.
"You mean the thing which you've been working on?"
I nodded. He paused for a while.
"I'm pretty sure you can do that yourself. It's not like you're going somewhere or something but... ok I guess." He smiled. What I'd do for that smile.
I squished his honey cheeks between my dry palms. Dry palms which I had used to create wonderous creations and gadgets.
But the one I had worked for the longest... I had given my everything to... Tho there was one last thing I had to give in.
My life.
