Chapter 5 - Hanging Out

I get out of bed feeling drowsy. My phone was playing music the whole night, so it's probably dead. I get up and charge my phone, then I head towards the bathroom to take a shower. 5-15 minutes and I get out of the bathroom. I haven't really used the system/Nano because of work. And I'm also confused on why it's called Nano? Is it a Nano machine?

Hey Nano, why are you called Nano?

[The reason for being called Nano is that I am a Nano machine.]

I was shocked because didn't he say he was a system, but a Nano machine is also kind of cool. Now that I think about it, doesn't that mean there are thousands of Nano machines is my body?! I am a human and I have a body filled with Nano machines; I went from human to half robot. Then I thought if I have Nano machines in my body does that mean, I can give myself a sixpack?

[Yes, that is a positive fact.]

He can access my thoughts?

[Affirmitave]

Give me some privacy, will you?

Okay, I think he listened. Nano can you give me a six-pack? I felt like a stupid kid when I said this.

[Yes, this process will take 2 - 3 hours and it will hurt in this process would you like an injection of antihistamines?]

Sure, anything to ease the pain.

[Starting the process… Injecting antihistamines…. Starting…]

I feel my body getting tired, so I drift off to sleep.

[Process finished, waking up the host…]

My body seems to wake up by themselves, I felt like a slept an eternal sleep. I look down and my body is completely sweating. I get up and head towards the bathroom to take a shower. In the shower, I look down to see that I have six packs. I was pretty excited about this. But then again, who wouldn't be? I step out of the bathroom and check my phone for the time.

It just turned 10:00. I got an email from my work telling me to meet up with the manager to discuss future code and issues regarding the workers. The meeting started at 1:00 so I had some time and the meeting with location was at a nearby cafe. I'll just get some breakfast and head to the cafe.

I got dressed and headed out. The place where I lived was like dump for homeless people. That was where most of them would be. The crime rates are really high, I don't even know how I survived in this place. My eyes were looking for the cafe I was supposed to go. I checked my phone and followed the directions. It took about 5 minutes before reaching the destination.

It was a small cafe that looked like a mini version of a garden. The shopkeeper was an old lady in her 70s; I wondered why she was working with that age. There was only green tea, so that was my 'breakfast'. I took a seat outside of the shop and started sipping on my tea. In 5-20 minutes I had finished so I put on some music and closed my as the manager wouldn't come soon. I checked the time for the last time before closing my eyes it was 10:45.

"Nam Hyun Ki?"

I heard my name being called, so I opened my eyes to find the manager in front of me.

Hm? Yeah, that's me.

My eyes were fully awake now. She got herself some tea and sat down across from where I was sitting; she told me her name was Ree Mee-Yon. We started talking about the employees and the problems they were facing. The conversation took about 10 minutes and then we went on to future development plans as in coding needed and what types of programmers we'll need. It took about 40 minutes so by the time we were done it was almost 2:00.

She said that she was sorry about calling me out here so she would treat me to a movie. I was pretty surprised by this as I wasn't really busy, but I wouldn't reject as she was the one who was paying and who would reject a beauty like her. There was a movie theater nearby, so we walked there. She chose a horror movie, and we grabbed our snacks and went to watch it. I wasn't really scared but when I looked over; she looked like she had just saw a ghost. The jump scares scared her a lot. Why would she pick a horror movie if she couldn't handle it? There was this one scene where she jumped over to my seat. She blushed when she found out she was sitting on me. She looked really cute when she blushed. By the time the movie was over, it was 5:00.

We left the and went for lunch; we got bulgogi (Korean beef barbecue). We talked a bit and ate while we were at it. We ordered some beer and drank to our hearts' content. I wasn't drunk, no matter how much I drank. But Mee-Yon was pretty drunk I could see she was trying to not to pass out.

She said, "Sorry, I can't continue" then she passed out.

She actually passed out. I just sat there nonchalantly eating like nothing happened. At least I'm still awake.
