"Now that you're being transferred to the USB.. How about the body?" Doyoung asked, examining the glass tube once again.

"There should be a code-lock, after the code then a fingerprint scanner followed by an ID scan," The laptop explained,

Doyoung rolled his eyes, he knew he'd had to call Kun for this again but before he could, the laptop added,

"I've got it covered :D!"

The lock had played a tune, indicating that all activities had been allowed.

"Well, that could've not been any easier," Doyoung smiled at the laptop before he looked at the body.

The cold fog poured out like an ocean, sending chills down Doyoung's spine.

He stepped closer to the body, getting a full view of the entire body than just the face.

"His existence is so beautiful, it offends me," Doyoung looked at him from top to bottom,

Suddenly, his eyes opened.

Doyoung was startled, "A-Are you suppose to do that?!" He exclaimed, a little too loudly.

After he didn't receive a reply from the laptop, he glanced at it.

"Transfer Complete!"

That was when Doyoung realised he couldn't get anymore help from the laptop because it was in the USB.

Doyoung stared into the male's eyes. A blue was rising and swirling in his eyes as if he was trying to adjust his eyes.

The blue faded away, a brown replacing it instead. He tilted his head down, staring at Doyoung.

"Uhm.. Hi?" Doyoung greeted awkwardly, unsure how to talk to aliens? Robots? What even was he?

He stared at Doyoung and tilted his head,

Then he collapsed onto Doyoung causing them both to fall onto the ground.

"Hey! Wake up! Wake up!" Doyoung shook the body violently but it was unresponsive,

He was ice cold. His skin was covered in a thin layer of ice, strands of hair were stiff and covered in a flake of ice.

"Shit, what the fuck should I do?" Doyoung laid the body aside as he searched for a blanket or a towel.

He saw the male curl up into a ball, trembling as puffs of crystals escape his lips whenever he exhaled.

Doyoung searched faster, he didn't want to see the male freeze to death.

Kun was humming a little tune to himself, staring at the ant farm that Johnny had on his desk.

"Hello there.." He quietly greeted as he poured biscuit crumbs for the ants to hopefully enjoy.

A smile grew on his face when he saw them indulging themselves to the biscuits. "I like these too, Doyoung was kind enough to buy me more whenever I ran out of them,"

Kun bit into a biscuit when he noticed light piercing through the glass, "Oh? Is someone here?"

He ran towards a window behind Johnny's desk, "Oh no,"

He immediately sent an urgent message to Doyoung, "Johnny is coming!! Hurry up!!!"

Doyoung saw he message and panicked, "Shit-" He grabbed a towel and draped it over the male's shoulders.

"Come on, we're going to get out of here, alright?" Doyoung wrapped the male's arm over his shoulder and lifted him up from the ground.

He took the USB and tossed it into his bag before he grabbed it as well.

He hurried out of the hallways, he was forced the drag the male by his side.

"Come on..!" Kun rushed Doyoung but his eyes widened when he saw a male with Doyoung,

"Sir, this wasn't the plan! What the hell were you-!"

Kun was interrupted when Doyoung hushed him, "Shut the damn door..!" Doyoung hissed as he walked out of the door but quickly retreated,

Kun closed the door and pulled on the book that Doyoung did so earlier. He shoved all his items into his bag, "What are you waiting for..?!"

"He's just outside..! Stall him..!" Doyoung pointed at Johnny who was inches away from the entrance.

"Damn it..!" Kun ran out of the office and jumped over the railings, landing safely on the first floor.

"I'm so awesome..!" Kun cheered to himself quietly. He felt like he had just put James Bond into retirement.

Johnny entered as soon as Kun landed on the ground, "Who's there?" He asked, flashing the flashlight at the younger.

Doyoung closed the door slightly, giving himself a little gap to have a peek through.

"Uhm, hi!" Kun said, standing up from the ground with a smile.

"Kun?" He squinted his eyes despite wearing glasses to make sure that was his student. "Yes?"

"What are you doing here?" Johnny asked, letting his guard down when he realised it was just his student.

"Me? Oh! I left my laptop here so I wanted to go and get it," Kun lied, scratching the back of his neck awkwardly.

"What are you doing here?" Kun asked, trying to change the subject but Johnny didn't bother to answer it.

"Why not get your laptop in the morning?" Johnny asked, walking towards the student.

"U-Uhm, it was urgent! I needed to work on my programming project," Kun said, avoiding all chances that he had to look at Johnny.

Doyoung was impressed, he didn't expect Kun to be good at lying. After all, he was (what many called) an angel.

"It must be around Section C! I remember I was hanging around there!" Kun pointed at the furthest section from the office,

"I'll assist you, I don't like the idea of a student walking around in the dark alone," Johnny insisted, heading towards the area that Kun pointed at.

"Thank you, Mr. Seo," Kun thanked quietly before he turned to his back with a smile as a signal for Doyoung to leave.

Doyoung nodded and looked over his shoulder to check on the male, "We'll warm you up soon enough, okay?"

The male barely nodded, he didn't have the energy to say anything.

Doyoung opened the door slightly to check if the coast was clear. He left the room and closed the door silently.

"Let's get out of here,"

Doyoung ran a hot bath for the stranger, "Alright, just take your time in the bath and uhm.."

He rushed out of the bathroom, grabbing any oversized clothing that he had,

"Put these on when you're done. I don't want you walking about in your underwear," Doyoung passed the clothing to the male who was still trembling under the towel,

"Do you.. know what I'm saying?" Doyoung asked, staring at the soulless eyes of the male.

He stared right back at Doyoung,

Target in sight.

He looked at Doyoung and tilted his head,

"Ah, hold on!" Doyoung rushed to his room but paused midway,

"You know what, I think you should get in the bath, you're freezing!" Doyoung pushed the cold male towards the bathroom,

He stood by the bathtub, still not getting the idea of what he should do.

"Get? In? You know, in?" Doyoung pointed at the bathtub and even made diving motions towards the bathtub.

"Sit in the tub." Doyoung commanded which the stranger seem to have understood,

Doyoung grabbed the clothes from his hands before he could submerge into the tub with them;

"Okay, stay." Doyoung said, slowly leaving the bathroom and rushing to the living room,

He dialled Kun's number a few times while trashing the contents of his bag to look for the USB.

"Aha!" Doyoung said, pulling the USB out. Now, he was just waiting for Kun to answer the phone as his second win.

Doyoung gave up after three tries and walked into the bathroom,

He was still sitting in the tub, completely frozen. Literally, the only thing he was doing was breathing! Not even blink!

"Okay.." Doyoung approached him cautiously as if he would attack Doyoung.

Doyoung searched for a compartment to insert the USB in. "Do you know where this goes?" Doyoung asked, not hoping for an answer.

He finally responded with a nod and pointed at the back of his neck,

Doyoung tilted his head for a better view, "Ah, okay. Thank you," He sat down on the tile floor and got to work.

Doyoung inserted the USB behind his neck as the entity had pointed out. He hair was slightly overgrown due to.. how ever long he was kept.

"Hey? You okay?" Doyoung asked, unsure if he had done something wrong when he didn't respond to the USB.

"Lee Taeyong is now being transferred to a new body. Please wait a moment."

"Lee Taeyong?" Doyoung repeated the name over and over in his mind. It suited the alien? Alien. Probably a robot but alien made more sense.

Nah, probably an robot. Definitely a robot.

"Lee Taeyong.." Doyoung mumbled quietly to himself,

"Huh?!" Doyoung was taken aback when supposedly, 'Taeyong' yelled loudly.

"Oh? You're finally working!" Doyoung beamed happily with a smile. He was fascinated if he was actually a robot, he was a science robotics student after all.

"Huh? Am I not dead?" Taeyong asked himself, looking at his own body which was in the hot steaming water.

"I told you it was just a cliché used to scare you," Doyoung joked, folding his arms by the edge of the tub.

"Wow, I did not expect you to be correct," Taeyong replied, he didn't believe that he was out of that small laptop he was forced to live in for years.

But then Taeyong realised something that had cause a strange feeling arise in his chest. As if he had been stabbed,

"Does that mean Johnny lied to me?" Taeyong asked, a frown appearing on his face.

Doyoung wish he had the truth to tell Taeyong but he was clueless as well. "Well, based on movies, they always have a good reason to do so. They don't actually want to hurt you,"

Taeyong nodded and let those words settle in for a moment. "Do you mind showing me what you call, 'movies'?"

Doyoung froze in shock, almost betrayal. "You have never watched a movie?" He asked, offended.

"No.." Taeyong replied, worried that he had made Doyoung angry for not knowing so.

"You're going to be educated after your bath," Doyoung stood up from the floor, excited to share his movie collection with Taeyong.

"Thank you, Doyoung." Taeyong said before Doyoung left the bathroom,

Doyoung smiled to himself and turned towards Taeyong. "Not a problem! Movies are-"

"I do not mean to be rude but I would like to make myself clear. I meant thank you for giving me a chance to live again," Taeyong said with a light nod and a smile.

Oddly, he wasn't able to meet Doyoung's eyes which worried him because he didn't want to be thought of as insincere by Doyoung.

"It's cool. Don't think of it as a big deal," Doyoung smiled back even if Taeyong probably couldn't notice it because he was hiding from Doyoung's gaze.

Taeyong only nodded before he sank in deeper into the bath, exposing only from his eyes above.

Doyoung shut the door quietly with a satisfied smile and entered the living room to see Kun,

"What. Was. That?"
