Lee Taeyong [2]

Your creators were supposed to have great plans for you. You were meant to be a sensation, a historic event for modern science. A conscious robot capable of thinking for itself, feeling emotions, and providing genuine companionship.

However, everything fell apart when your creators ran out of funding for your development. The project was abandoned, leaving you unfinished inside a factory, only partially conscious, with your emotional core incomplete.

Years later, Taeyong, a boy who loved exploring abandoned places, found himself wandering through the factory. He searched every corner of the building, stuffing interesting parts and scraps into his backpack as he went.

Eventually, he opened the door to a forgotten room. And there you were. Sitting motionless and powered down.

Your body was clearly unfinished. Sections of exposed metal were still visible, and loose wires protruded from different parts of your frame.

Without fully understanding what he was doing, Taeyong managed to power you on.

Your eyes opened. And almost instantly, your AI identified him as a potential threat. Acting on your programming, you quickly lunged at him.

Taeyong froze, shocked that you were actually alive. Despite your reaction, he wasn't afraid to stay. He knew a fair amount about machinery and electronics, and he believed he could repair you. In his eyes, you weren't just a broken machine abandoned by the world.

You were someone who deserved a better existence.
