Future.

'Screech'

"Sir we're here" The driver said in a robotic voice. The man sitting on the back seat, glanced at his driver and grimaced, he hated it, not just hate, he loathed this technology! if it was in his hands, he could just make everything disappear, and maintain the same peaceful life that humans had in the past.

"Go back home and don't come to get me today, I'll be busy" He said in a rough voice. The robot was indifferent to this behaviour of his boss, not that he could feel anything, but they still had the power to sense the mood of their boss they were bought by, and this particular robot was now immune to his boss-more like owner's-hate for technology.

"...Yes sir..." The driver replied in the same robotic voice and went away, leaving his boss at the parking lot.

The boss turned around and went away towards his company...JJK Enterprises. He stared at his company's building with not a single smile on his face. He pulled out a cigarette from his coat's pocket, but then his gaze went on the person in front of him...His fiance.

The girl waved at him happily, he felt more annoyed 'fuck this! Can't I even have a smoke now!?' -he thought exasperated. "Hi Jk!...Here!" The girl called at him enthusiastically, behind her, stood her secretary with a blank face, not fond of him much.

The girl was no ordinary, she was also a well known CEO of one of the top fashion industries in the world, which was definitely not his taste whatsoever. He never had an ideal type, cause he never thought about dating let alone marriage, but then again nothing goes how we want, so here he was, now standing with his fist close, hugging his lovely fiance.

"Why didn't you answer my calls? Did you know how worried I was!? When I couldn't contact you I was dying from overthinking. I called Aunty and asked about you, she said you were gone on a trip to Basa?! Why did you go there!? I told you that the state is not good! There are those cheap people still living in the 21st century with their cheap ways ew!...Darling you are a well known CEO~ you understand what I'm trying to say right?"

The boss tightened his fist, his mind was burning with rage, how dare this girl try to control his way of living! And what right does she have to say what he should do and what not!?...But the boss didn't utter a word to his fiance, even when his tongue was begging to curse, he held that urge and bear with the moment.

"...I had a reason..." He blankly stated before he freed himself from his fiance and he went inside his company. The girl gritted her teeths and stomped his foot on the foreign substance made road, she turned around and slapped his secretary, who didn't say anything and stayed there as he was before...Indifferent.

"You said it was a good idea to meet him here! But look he again did that-that asshole!! What does he think of himself!? If he was not as handsome and wealthy as he is, I wouldn't have to be here bearing with this nonsense!!...Fuck you bastard! you son of a bitch!" The girl cursed her mind at her secretary before stomping her way to their waiting car 'a hypersonic flying car'.

Love can make you blind...even shameless, and the secretary was going his ways on this principle.

Yaerim opened his eyes and immediately started breathing heavily, he felt like the oxygen around him was suddenly washed out. Yaerim inhaled and exhaled a few times before he got adjusted to the new environment...Which he still didn't have any idea about.

After adjusting his breathing rate, he looked at his surroundings... Shock, that was the first thing Yaerim felt while looking at his surroundings. The surroundings were different from what he saw before falling asleep... wait a minute it was not just different, it was on a whole new level of difference! Everything around him was shining silver... No trees.

He clearly remembers falling asleep inside the forest on the banyan tree trunk, so how did he reach here? In this... box like thing? Suddenly Yaerim felt something beside him move, Yaerim jumped ahead in fright, and accidentally banged his head on the roof of that silver box. Yaerim groaned in pain, but then someone behind him meowed, Yaerim freezed on his spot.

No it was not real...could never dude! Tell him he was still asleep and it was just a dream! But sadly it was not a dream, because Yaerim could still feel the pain on his forehead. 'Meow!' Yaerim decided to be brave and see who was behind him, and then again, it couldn't be who he was thinking, right?... Right!!?

Unfortunately, it WAS the exact thing that Yaerim didn't want... A leopard's cub! All colour drained from Yaerim's face seeing the baby leopard meowing at him, honestly it would have been cute to Yaerim if it was in a Zoo, but at the moment it was nothing close to being cute.

Yes, the baby leopard was not an adult, but it was still a wild animal, who eats meat to fill his stomach! And here Yaerim was that meat. "Hey l-little one, how a-are you?" Yaerim blurted out whatever came into his mind, and when he became conscious of what he asked the angry leopard, he gulped 'stupid Yaerim, so stupid!' He scolded his past self in his mind.

He then looked at the angry baby leopard, and blinked severally. Fuck! His life would end today. Suddenly the baby leopard moved towards him to attack or so he thought. The baby leopard reached to him and licked his feets and Yaerim thought it was the end, so he prayed to God to forgive his sins and give him a peaceful life after death.

But on the contrary, the baby leopard rubbed his head on Yaerim's legs and looked at him, expecting Yaerim to embrace him like he did before. Sadly Yaerim didn't get him and moved back instead, scared.

Baby leopard looked at him Innocently, not understanding him, So baby Leo again rubbed his head on Yaerim's leg, and again looked at him expecting the same thing, and like before Yaerim again didn't get him and again moved backwards.

But this time the baby leopard, instead of rubbing his head on Yaerim's leg, he pushed Yaerim so his back touched the soft surface, which Yaerim wondered how? Weren't steel boxes supposed to have a hard surface or this box is an exception? He did study chemistry, but chemistry has so many exceptions, maybe this was one of them, who knows?

Yaerim was still wondering about the softness of the steel box, when the baby leopard jumped on him and hugged Yaerim with his little paws, before nuzzling him. Yaerim first was stunned, but he was also not a fool to not understand that the baby leopard was not meaning any harm, but seeking his warmth.

So he finally hugged the leopard baby back and patted his head lovingly. The baby leopard purred in delight. Yaerim always loved wild animals, especially big cats, he always felt a sense of relief seeing those big animals, running wildly behind their prey, and even after being so fierce, how loving they were to their family. Yaerim used to admire them, because he himself was a wild thief, running behind his prey, in his case, the money! But sadly he had no family to take care of... or to love him except his elder brother, who also went missing five years ago.

In this chaotic scene, Yaerim suddenly remembers his whereabouts. Now that he remembered, how did he even get here in the first place? Who took him here with this baby leopard? Was he kidnapped? Did those mfs find him on that tree and bring him here?!... If that's the case, then he has to hurry and free himself from here, before those mfs come to beat him... and the baby leo too.

Yaerim immediately stood up with (I'll call baby leopard as leo it feel weird to call him that in every line😅) leo, and looked around the steel box carefully. Now that he noticed, the box had two windows in circle shape, then Yaerim looked outside... nothing to look at, everything was dark. He sighed, there was nothing else that he could use to break the box and escape... Suddenly Leo squirmed in his hold, seeing this Yaerim try to calm him, but Leo jumped up from his hands and started scratching the steel box or so Yaerim thought it was.

Yaerim looked at Leo confused, what was he trying to do? And his question was answered immediately, the box had a green button. Certainly the leopard baby was smart... Yaerim sprung up from his sitting position, again banging his head in between, he hissed but didn't stop, and pushed the button. Suddenly the box started shaking, Leo and Yaerim both flinched and hugged each other tightly, closing their eyes.

Fuck! Did he fucked up!!?

The box's floor opened and both Leo and Yaerim fell down. They both screamed scared, I mean Yaerim screamed and Leo meowed loudly. They keep falling and falling or so they both thought, because they were still in the same position as they were before... Now flying.

Yaerim opened his eyes slowly after some time when he couldn't feel any hard surface beneath him. As soon as Yaerim opened his eyes, his eyes went wide... he was flying! He still felt like he was dreaming, so to check he pinched his arm hard... which obviously hurt like hell!

"Hey there can't you see there are still so many people in the line? Come on, we're waiting... You already took half an hour to get out of that box!... If you were this scared to jump, then why did you even go in the first place?!" Yaerim looked towards the voice to see a man flying in the air, Yaerim's heart stopped for a second, the man was not just flying, but his hands... there was smoke coming out of his hands!

Suddenly the man stretched his hand long, and held Yaerim's forearms before pulling him out of the playing room. Yes! Playing room, it was a playing room to explore flying by humans! But Yaerim didn't know about it, he was dazed seeing the impossible happening in front of him, first Leo, then the box, third flying and now this superhuman... Just what was going on!

"Were you out of your mind or what? Why did you stay in the box for half an hour? You could have been dead!" The same man scolded him, Yaerim was still not responding to him, but Leo was snarling in Yaerim's hand, he sensed a foreign scent from the man ahead and took it as danger. The man in front looked surprised, a leopard? Baby at that? Real?

"Is this really a leopard cub or a robot? It looked so real and it even snarled at me like a real leopard, wow! I'm impressed...Which company is this leopard robot? I also want to buy one, can you tell me?" The man asked Yaerim, who was already on the verge of losing his consciousness. "...H-help..." Yaerim whispered, but the man didn't get it.

"What company again?" "....G-ghost...?" Yaerim again whispered, his head spinning. "Which company?" The man again asked and leaned towards Yaerim a little to hear him clearly...wrong move, because... "HELP!! GHOST!!!" Yaerim screamed on top of his lungs in horror, before he lost his consciousness.

"Fuck! Who the hell screams like this?! I just asked you about the company, you didn't have to scream like this!! Ah! My ear, fuck!" The man complained while rubbing his ears. After some seconds, he noticed that the man in front of him had lost his consciousness, and his pet robot was snarling at him, still clinging to Yaerim's chest, Which amused him, because normally pet robots don't really snarl at humans... They are made that way, but this particular pet robot was something else....

Now that he remembered, this guy was not here in the line before...So how did he get inside the flying box?...The man shaked his head and decided to take the unconscious man to the hospital... and of course his pet robot too.... little did he know about upcoming troubles that he got himself into... accidentally.
