"Can you talk?" Taehyung asked. The android blinked in confusion. Taehyung rose his eyebrow- but as usual, no response came. Taehyung sighed and stood up.

"That's fine. I'll make you some food, come on." Taehyung said, gesturing at the boy to stand up. The boy stood up clumsily and then stood there. Taehyung walked towards the open kitchen and then tapped the bar stool. "Sit down," Taehyung said, opening the fridge.

He heard some scurrying while taking food out, and then closed the fridge, and saw the android sitting on the kitchen counter. Taehyung's breath hitched.

"No- I meant on the chair... ugh, never mind," Taehyung mumbled, seeing the boy look oblivious. Taehyung took out some milk and put it on the counter, and then opened a cabinet and saw only one thing on the shelf. Pancake mix.

"Alright, buddy. I guess we're eating pancakes for dinner." Taehyung mumbled, and then looked at the android, who was staring at Taehyung with a blank expression. Taehyung looked back at him, a little nervous.

"You okay?" Taehyung asked, and the android kept looking at him with its big eyes, almost sparkly. He didn't say anything. "Um. Okay." Taehyung said, and then opened the packet of pancake mix and poured it into a bowl.

Taehyung took the bottle of milk, and then looked at the android and saw him holding a knife which he picked up from the side. Taehyung's eyes widened, and he placed the bottle down and rushed to the boy, grabbing the knife out of his hand.

"Woah! Hey, don't hold knives like that!" Taehyung snapped, and the android inched away from him. "No. Knives. Okay? This-" Taehyung pointed at the knife. "Bad," Taehyung said sharply, and the android nodded mechanically.

Taehyung put the knife back into the cup holding spoons and shut and turned back to the bowl. He poured milk in, all while keeping a watchful eye on the android, which seemed to be looking around cluelessly.

After the pancake mix was made, Taehyung poured it in wonky circles on the pan. While it was getting made, the android reached forward to touch the frying pan, but Taehyung let out a scream and then pushed the boy's hand away- making the android scurry further away from Taehyung.

Soon, the pancakes were made. Taehyung made 8. He placed the stack on a plate and then smiled at the android. "Done! You hungry?"

Android nodded. Taehyung took two plates out, but the android hopped off the kitchen counter and walked to the plate, and then picked up a pancake and bit into it. Taehyung tsked at him, taking the pancake out of his mouth.

"No no- not like that. You'll like it more with maple syrup." Taehyung explained, and the boy looked confused, hungry. Taehyung took the pancake out of his mouth and placed it back onto a clean plate. Taehyung then took out some maple syrup and poured it over the pancakes, and then stuck a small slab of butter onto it.

"Now try it," Taehyung said with a grin. The android blinked- and then picked up the ceramic plate and bit onto the edge of it, making a loud clink sound.

Taehyung smacked his hand against his head. The android put the plate down and frowned to himself. "You don't know anything, huh?" Taehyung snickered, and the android looked at him.

Taehyung pointed at the sofa this time. "Sit down. Properly." Taehyung instructed, and the android walked to the sofa and sat down on it, looking into space. Taehyung grabbed the plate of pancakes and went up to the android, sitting down beside him.

"Open your mouth," Taehyung said while cutting a bit and picking it up with a fork. The android opened its mouth. Taehyung reached the piece into the android's mouth, and the android wrapped its lips around the pancake bite, and then Taehyung pulled the fork out of the android's mouth.

Taehyung watched the android bite onto it slowly. His eyes slowly grew bigger while he chewed it, and then gulped it down, and looked at Taehyung with his mouth falling open slightly. Taehyung chuckled out. "You liked it?"

The android nodded. He opened his mouth really wide again, waiting for another bite. Taehyung laughed and took a bigger piece, reaching it into the android's mouth. The android ate it, and then gulped it down quickly, opening his mouth again.

Taehyung fed him the rest of the pancake and 3 more, and finally, the boy finished eating and then looked at Taehyung, maple syrup all over his dainty lips. Taehyung looked at him with a small snicker, taking a plate of pancakes for himself.

"You're cute," Taehyung said, and the android didn't know what that meant, so he just sat there. "Real pretty- for a machine."

The android looked into space again, as if not functioning if nothing was happening. Taehyung finished eating his pancakes, and then chucked the plates into the sink. He'd wash them later (ie: never). Taehyung walked up to the boy, sitting down beside him.

"So... nothing, huh? You can't remember anything?" Taehyung asked. The android moved his head to look at him and then shook his head. "But you understand me?" Taehyung asked, and the android nodded.

Taehyung sighed, looking away. "This is freaky, dude. No offense. I mean, you probably won't get offended by what I'm saying because you don't have feelings and shit. But it's freaky. I don't know who your creators are. Or where you're from. You could've been dropped from a spaceship or something..." Taehyung mumbled.

"I guess you can stay here tonight-" Taehyung suddenly stopped when he felt something touching his hair. He turned, and then saw the android looking up at Taehyung, its fingers in his blue hair. Taehyung rose his eyebrow, and the android looked at him, blinking. Taehyung grabbed the boy's wrist and put it down slowly.

"Don't touch my hair like that," Taehyung said, and the android nodded. "You take orders fast. That's... good. That's really good." Taehyung murmured, thinking to himself. Rich business owners would pay tons to buy an android like this.

Taehyung grabbed the android's thin wrist and brushed his thumb over the black tattoo on his wrist. JK. "Is that your name? You might need another name," Taehyung mumbled, looking at the black haired android.

The black haired android had these big eyes, a big nose, small pouty lips, and slightly puffy cheeks. Taehyung gulped. "I probably shouldn't name you." Taehyung said, to himself, more. He didn't need to name the android. He'd take him to the market first thing tomorrow morning to sell him off. It didn't need to be named.

The android blinked. He suddenly brought his finger up and pointed at Taehyung. Taehyung was confused, but then looked at him. "Are you asking what my name is? Oh shit, I never told you, did I?" Taehyung chuckled, and then stood up from the couch.

"I'm Taehyung. Kim Taehyung. I'm 24." Taehyung explained, and then reached his hand out, gesturing it at the android to shake it.

The android looked at his hand for a few seconds, and then reached forward and bit onto Taehyung's fingers.

"Ow-!" Taehyung yelped, and then brought his hand out. "Hey, listen- stop biting things unless they're food, okay?" Taehyung instructed, and the android looked confused, eyes big. Taehyung sighed. "I'll tell you when you can bite something."

The android nodded, looking down. "Okay, well- um. You're probably sleepy, right? Wait-" Taehyung said, walking over to his bedroom. He walked into the small room which had a bed crammed to the side and clothes spilling everywhere. Taehyung cursed and picked some of his brown, flimsy, leathery clothes up.

Taehyung scratched the back of his head when he noticed he only had a blanket. "Damn it," Taehyung muttered. He didn't have another blanket. The android probably wouldn't need a blanket, right? Yeah. Yeah. Taehyung grabbed a pillow, and then turned around to walk out-

"Christ-" Taehyung let out, seeing the android standing by the doorway of his bedroom. "You've got to stop scaring me like that, bro. For real." Taehyung said, and the android nodded, moving away.

Taehyung walked to the door, and then saw the android look at Taehyung's hair. "Stop looking at my hair." Taehyung said, and the android looked down. Taehyung walked to the couch and placed the pillow against the side.

"Okay. Sleep here for tonight. If you wake up, don't touch anything. Got it?" Taehyung snapped, giving him an intimidating look. The android looked apprehensive for a second, but nodded. He walked over to the couch and sat down on it, looking up at Taehyung.

"Goodnight," Taehyung mumbled, turning around by his heel to walk back to his bedroom. Taehyung entered and then sighed to himself.

God, what did he get himself into. Hopefully, this won't backfire. Taehyung took his shirt off, dropping it to the floor. He'd pick it up later (never). Taehyung changed into pajamas, and then closed the lights and then toppled onto his bed, sighing in relief. The best part of the day.

Taehyung's eyes were closed for a few minutes, and then he heard some rustling. Taehyung popped his eye open, and then flinched in surprise when he saw the android standing by his bed.

"Dude, for fuck's sake! That's fucking terrifying- oh my god," Taehyung mumbled, sitting up in annoyance, ruffling his hair. The android was clutching the pillow tightly, looking at Taehyung's double sized bed. The android reached forward to climb onto the bed- but Taehyung got up quickly and grabbed the android.

Taehyung saw the look on the robot's face and snickered. "Yeah, that's not happening buddy. You're not sleeping in my bed." Taehyung said sharply, but the android looked confused. Taehyung turned him around forcefully and led him out of his bedroom.

The android stopped midway, not letting Taehyung push him. Taehyung looked at the back of his head and frowned. "What's your problem? You're not sleeping in the same bed as me," Taehyung snapped in annoyance, getting snappy because he craved sleep.

Taehyung pushed the android firmly till the living room and then sat him down on the couch. Taehyung put the pillow on the side and then forced the android to lie down. "There. Now go to sleep." Taehyung said lowly.

Before Taehyung could move away, the android grabbed onto his shirt, not letting him go. Taehyung looked at the android, and then saw him looking scared. The android pointed at the floor.

"You want me to sleep here with you?" Taehyung asked, and the android nodded quickly, looking at Taehyung's chest, not looking him in the eyes. The android looked blank, as if looking for something to say, but didn't.

Taehyung cursed to himself, feeling his insides crumble a little. "Okay, um-" Taehyung said, pulling the android's hand off. "Listen.... android. Dude. JK. This is for one night, okay? Just push through." Taehyung said, and then turned a light on. "Look, I'll keep a night light on." Taehyung said, and the android nodded, looking away.

Taehyung groaned loudly and then rushed to his bedroom, grabbing his blanket, and stormed back into the living room. He placed the blanket on top of the android, who looked at Taehyung with its big glimmering eyes.

"Now sleep." Taehyung grumbled, walking back to his bedroom, slamming the door shut, jumping onto his be, and falling asleep.

Taehyung walked out of his bedroom the next morning and saw the android sitting up on the couch, staring into the wall with a blank expression on his face. Taehyung was already showered and dressed in his usual cargo pants, dark t-shirt, with aviators perched on his head.

"Good morning." Taehyung mumbled, and saw how the android didn't move, continued looking outside. "You okay?" Taehyung asked, stopping in his steps. The android nodded, unfazed.

"Hm. Okay. Well- I'm not making breakfast. We're going to the market. I'm getting my money off of you. Now get up," Taehyung said, and the android got up slowly.

It was dressed in a blue sweater and sweats. Taehyung assumes that'll be alright. Taehyung grabbed his keys, his phone, and his wallet, and then headed for the door. Taehyung turned all the lights off, and then looked at the android who was standing still.

"Come on." Taehyung insisted, and the android followed him, looking outside hesitantly. Taehyung realised he'd never been outside consciously, technically. He assumes.

They walked out of Taehyung's tiny crappy apartment, and were instantly faced with the loud yelling from the nearby neighbours, a loud dog barking, and red sand beneath their feet. Taehyung began walking, putting his aviators on and heading for the 20 minute walk to the market. Taehyung walked a few steps, and then turned around.

"Follow me, dumbass." Taehyung said, and the android began walking towards him, God, he was so aloof and blank, Taehyung's sure he doesn't remember a thing from the night before, even. Does his brain even function normally, or does it just follow instructions like a robot?

He was cold and expressionless, eyes black, blinking only once in a minute. Taehyung paid not attention and walked down the road, already feeling the scorching heat from the bright, toxic sun rays. Taehyung turned around and spotted the android standing ages behind, looking at some children playing.

"Hey!" Taehyung shouted, and the android looked at him. "Follow. Me." Taehyung said, and the android turned around and caught up to him, not looking bothered. "Don't just stop walking for no reason."

The android stopped walking for no reason at least 8 times on their way to the market.

It kept getting distracted by mundane things and proceeded to stop and stare at those things. It made Taehyung snap at him every time- and each time the android looked back at Taehyung, nodded, and rushed up to him.

Once they reached the market place, Taehyung got nervous. He saw one of the vendors up front and walked up to him.

"Hey- um. How much you reckon I could get from selling a functioning android?"

The vendor looked up with wide eyes. "An- an android? Are you serious? Like, the phone-"

"No, you dumbass. Like, a robot. You know- those- those robots those scientists create which are absurdly human-like." Taehyung said. The vendor snickered, counting his money.

"Yeah right. As if you have an android. Just sell me some scraps and go, kid. Don't be funny." The vendor snorted, and Taehyung leaned back, clicking his tongue against the roof of his mouth.

"Well, I do. He's right here-" Taehyung said, turning around. He paused when he saw the android wasn't there.

Taehyung frowned, looking around. "Where did he go? Dammnit-" Taehyung cursed, frowning. Looking around all that could be seen was a crowd of people pushing, shoving and shouting. People rushed by, gathering up items as fast as they could. People traveled in groups; parents and children or other family members and even friends; causing the constant buzz of noises. The stall owners either served queues of customers or shouted out a range of encouragements to passers-by to attract them with their items.

Taehyung looked over all the people, getting shoved by some big burly dude. Crap. Someone could kidnap the naive android and then they'd get all the money! Taehyung searched around for the android- and then suddenly saw familiar black hair by a stall.

"Fucking bitch-" Taehyung grumbled, storming up to him. He was at a fucking jewelry stall, looking at the big jewels. "Hey!" Taehyung snapped, turning him around. He saw the android looking at him, and the android just blinked, not knowing why Taehyung looked angry.

"When I tell you something you need to listen, got it?" Taehyung growled, and the android looked down. "I can't yell at you now. We need to reach the higher-class vendors. Just- hold my hand." Taehyung grumbled, reaching his hand out.

The android clutched onto his hand, and Taehyung led him down the busy market place, tightening his grip around the android's small hand. Taehyung saw some men in business suits standing by the far end and rushed up to them, practically running.

"I have something to sell!" Taehyung said, waving his arm at them when he reached. "I have a fully functioning, brand new android. With all it's internal parts working." Taehyung said, or, well, guessed.

"Seriously?" One of the men asked, raising his eyebrow. "Woah- we'll pay 50,000 units for that!2

"W-what?" Taehyung squeaked out, eyes growing really wide. "R-really? 50,000- o-oh my god." Taehyung stammered out, a smile reaching his face.

"Yeah. Is this the android?" The man asked, pointing at the black haired boy who was holding Taehyung's hand tightly.

"Yes!" Taehyung said, urging him forward. The android looked blank, only looking at Taehyung, not knowing what was happening. Taehyung let go of his hand, and the man looked at the android closely, examining it. The android looked at Taehyung and tried walking back towards him- but the vendor grabbed the android, and then patted it down.

"Feels like a human," The man stated, and Taehyung shook his head, grabbing the android. He lifted the android's sweater up, revealing his bare chest, and then pressed the panel in the middle open, revealing his insides.

The android tried grabbing onto Taehyung's hand, but Taehyung pushed it away. "Look, he's a real machine!" Taehyung said, and the vendor's eyes glazed, smirking. "He follows orders really well. And he doesn't talk, so-"

"Oh don't worry, kid. We won't need all that. We'll break the android apart and then use its parts for other machinery." The man chuckled. Taehyung paused. He closed the android's panel and dropped its sweater down.

"Oh. Yeah. Okay." Taehyung nodded. "Great. Wait right here, we'll get the paper work and money." The man grinned, and then turned around to walk away. Taehyung smiled to himself. 50,000 units...

The amount of things he could do with that much money, holy fuck. First he'd buy a spaceship. Then he'd fly to the nearest big metropolitan planet he knows. There, he could buy an apartments and then get a job. Then, he'd get richer. He could start working for the galactic force. Accomplish all his dreams he's had since he was only a little kid. He could do ANYTHING-

"T-Taehyung?"

Taehyung paused at the sound. It was a light, soft, velvety voice. Taehyung turned very slowly, and then saw the android standing by him, clutching onto his hand tightly. Taehyung gulped/

"Did you just say my name?" Taehyung whispered, eyes wide.

The android looked down, and then reached his other hand out. He uncurled his fist, and Taehyung saw a big blue stone in his hand. It was a big, shiny, blue gemstone.

"Did you steal this from the jewelry stand? God- you can't just-"

"B-blue." The android spoke in a small voice, and Taehyung froze, tensing. The android looked up at Taehyung and then reached his hand out.

"Blue?" Taehyung asked softly, and the android nodded. He reached the stone to Taehyung's hair. "L-like Taehyung's hair." The android said, stammering, and then held onto Taehyung's hand tighter.

Taehyung felt his insides crumble, his stomach taking turns. Taehyung looked down, guilt overtaking him, doubt seizing his insides. He gulped, taking the blue jewel from the android's hand.

"Damn it." Taehyung cursed, heart pacing fast. Fuck. He didn't know what to do. He looked at the android with concern, and then saw the android blink into space, mindless. "Fuck. God fucking damn it." Taehyung growled and then grabbed the android's hand tightly.

"Here's the money-" The man's voice came, and Taehyung looked at the man, and then looked at the android, and then let out a breath he didn't know he was holding.

"Don't let go of my hand," Taehyung whispered, and then turned around and began running away from those guys as quickly as he could. The android didn't let go, running along with him.

"Hey, what the hell?!" The man shouted, and Taehyung kept running, racing as quickly as he could away from the market. Fuck fuck fuck-

They finally ran out of the busy market place, so Taehyung curved a corner and then stopped, breathing heavily. Taehyung let go of the android's hand, leaning against the wall behind him and panting.

"I hate you," Taehyung said, looking at the android. "But I can't fucking let them break you into pieces. God damn it. Why the fuck do I have to have morals," Taehyung groaned, putting his hands against his face, letting the jewel drop from his hand.

Taehyung rubbed his face, and then put his sunglasses back on properly and looked at the android, who was frowning with its eyes wide. The android grabbed Taehyung's hand quick'y and put the jewel into his palm, almost scared that Taehyung would let it go.

"G-gift!" The android said with urgency. Taehyung sighed.

"I know. Sorry for dropping it. Thank you." Taehyung mumbled, and the android nodded.

"It- it is b-blue. Like T-Taehyung's h-hair-"

"You already told me." Taehyung cut him off. The android nodded, shutting up, just looking at Taehyung with a blank expression, as usual.

"Let's just go home. I'm hungry." Taehyung mumbled, and then turned around and began walking. He walked two steps and then felt the android grab his hand quickly.

Taehyung looked at the android, who seemed adamant on holding his hand. "You don't have to hold my hand-"

"B-but Tae-Taehyung said to h-hold." The android squeaked, looking confused. Taehyung sighed, looking away from the android's moon-like eyes.

"Yeah. Okay. You can hold it." Taehyung mumbled, leading the android back to his house.

When they reached, Taehyung walked in, and then pulled his hand away. "Only outside, okay?" Taehyung said, and the android nodded. Taehyung took his sunglasses off and chucked it to the side table, along with the other things he was holding.

"So you can talk?" Taehyung asked, walking to the kitchen. He opened the kitchen door and took out a bottle of milk. He closed it, and then saw the android behind the fridge door, eyes opened out wide in dismay. Taehyung was confused- but then the android grabbed Taehyung's hand and put the jewel in his palm again.

"G-gift-" The android repeated, and Taehyung sighed, putting his hand away. Taehyung grabbed the android by its sides.

"I know! I got it! I don't always need to hold it, okay?" Taehyung said sharply, eyes darkened. The android looked at him, and then looked confused.

"But-" The android began, probably about to repeat how it's like Taehyung's hair again. Taehyung gave him a firm look. "I'm keeping it on my counter. Look! It's right here! It's not going anywhere!" Taehyung said forcefully, placing the stone onto the wood.

The android nodded, reassured. Taehyung moved away from him to go get cereal out. "Okay, now that you're... not getting sold off- I guess you need a name," Taehyung mumbled, taking out the cereal box. When he did, he saw the android holding the box of pancake mix.

"You want me to make pancakes again?" Taehyung asked, and the android nodded hurriedly. "...I'll go buy them later. I'll make it for dinner, okay?"

"N-now." The android said.

"I said I'll make them for dinner," Taehyung repeated firmly, and the android nodded, solemn, placing the pancake mix away.

"You're a little annoying, Junkyard boy," Taehyung mumbled as he picked the pancake mix box to throw it away. Before doing so, he looked at the box.

'Kooks Pancake Mix!' The box read.

Taehyung threw the box away, and then looked at the boy. "Junkyard... Junk boy... Junk Kook... Jungkook!" Taehyung suddenly said with wide eyes.

The android's eyes grew glittery. "Jungkook. Hey, that can be your new name."

"J-Jungkook," Jungkook said, and Taehyung nodded with a grin. Jungkook nodded his head, sitting down on the floor.

"Yep. Now get up from the floor and sit on the chair, Jungkook." Taehyung said, and Jungkook got up from the floor and sat down on the breakfast bar table chair.

Taehyung took a bowl and poured cereal into it, and then some milk. "Jungkook!" Jungkook said again, and Taehyung looked at him.

"Yeah. That's your name." Taehyung said, giving the boy a spoon. Jungkook kicked his legs against the bar table.

"J-Jungkook wants round!" Jungkook said, putting his mouth around the spoon.

"Hey, Jungkook- you need to eat this," Taehyung said, pointing at the cereal. "Not the spoon. That's what you use to pick the little brown thingies in the milk up, okay?" Taehyung said, and Jungkook nodded, digging his spoon into the cereal and then reaching it into his mouth.

"And- what's round?" Taehyung asked, confused. Jungkook gulped the cereal down, and then pointed his spoon up, flicking some milk onto Taehyung's face. "Round round for dinner."

"You mean pancakes?" Taehyung snickered, wiping the droplet of milk off his nose.

"Jungkook w-wants pancakes," Jungkook said. Taehyung couldn't help but smile a little, seeing the boy stuff another spoon of cereal into his mouth messily.

"You liked the pancakes, huh? Eh. More of a waffle guy myself, if I'm honest." Taehyung said, leaning against the counter.

"Waffer," Jungkook said while eating, and Taehyung saw the milk drool down his chin.

Taehyung tsked. "Don't speak while you have food in your mouth," Taehyung said, and Jungkook nodded. Taehyung reached a napkin out and wiped the milk from his chin.

Jungkook looked at Taehyung and then lifted his bowl up. "T-Taehyung wants?"

"No no, don't worry Jungkook. I'll get my own. Thank you, though." Taehyung said, and Jungkook nodded and then began eating the cereal again. Taehyung took out a bowl himself, pouring the cereal in and then the milk.

"Pass me a spoon," Taehyung said, and Jungkook pointed his spoon at Taehyung. "A new spoon. We don't share cutlery." Taehyung said, and Jungkook nodded, and then put his spoon down and reached out to pick a spoon up.

Jungkook pointed it at Taehyung. Taehyung sighed. "That's a fork." Taehyung said, and then grabbed it out of Jungkook's hand and just got a spoon himself. Taehyung took out a knife as well, and then look at Jungkook.

"This is a fork," Taehyung said, lifting the fork. "This is a spoon," Taehyung said, lifting the spoon. Taehyung lifted the knife-"

"This is a bad." Jungkook said with a nod. Taehyung started laughing.

"Yeah. Okay. This is a bad. Got it?" Taehyung said, and Jungkook nodded quickly. Taehyung began eating the cereal himself and then saw Jungkook pick the spoonful of cereal up and lift it to his mouth, but then miss his lips and hit his cheek with the spoon instead.

Taehyung sighed and redirected the spoon to his lips, and Jungkook put it into his mouth and then gulped down the cereal. Taehyung snickered to himself.

Eh. He always wanted a roommate anyway. This couldn't be too hard, right?
