“Tae! Alex is messing around in his lab again.. wanna go bug him?” Mila grinned and skipped off without letting Tae Joon reply, she knew he would follow her anyways, wherever Mila went Tae wasn’t too far behind. Granted Tae Joon would rather not disturb the madman in his lab but he had to make sure Mila didn’t take things too far.
“We shouldn’t be doing this Mila.. he hates me!” Tae strongly implied as he jogged to catch up to the redhead.
She glanced over her shoulder at the paranoid nerd behind her and gave him a soft smile “you’ll be fine Tae, whats the worst he could do?”

Tae Joon huffed heavily from behind one of the columns filled with some toxic fluid, Alexander Nox was a man who feared nothing and Tae Joon Park was a man who feared everything. Mila.. was a corpse beneath the scientist now, the madman had shoved her away forcefully and ended up killing her in the process. Fear was running through Tae’s veins as heavy boots got closer, he was done for, he could try attacking Nox with the collapsable sword he always carried but his body was shaking all over so he would most likely miss or mess up. But did he really have another choice right now?
Tae Joon took a deep breath and extended the blade, glancing around the corner of his hiding spot to see Nox staring right at him. “How does it feel knowing you’re nothing without someone else to rely on? Are you scared your life is in my hands now? Are you terrified Tae Joon? Are you going to beg me for mercy?” Caustic sneered and Tae slowly slid up the column, raising his blade as he took another deep breath to try to calm his racing heart.
Tae turned the corner expecting to have space between him and Alexander but he was immediately grabbed by the throat and slammed down onto the ground with enough force to make him gasp for air, his body momentarily weakening and the blade he had was now in the hands of Caustic.
“Did you really think you could get the upper hand on me? Your fear blinded you and now look at the results.” Caustic said as he tightened his grip on the terrified man beneath him. “You are my test subject now Tae Joon, you have shown you are unworthy of your name so instead you will now be recognized as test subject Whitelisted-01.”

Tae Joon had underwent many weeks of both physical and mental torture to the point that he felt nothing, his emotions were numb as well as his body. In a recent experiment Nox had removed Tae Joon’s brain and turned it into a source code, his body was transformed into a robots with only a bit of skin remaining on his face. Essentially Tae Joon was a simulacrum now, dead beyond death and colder then the surface of Págos.
“I hope you rot in here, death will no longer be your saviour” Dr. Nox spat from behind the glass wall that prevented Tae from escaping the lab, the now simulacrum across from him stared at Nox with his one human eye and one robotic. A human turned robot by an insane scientist.. a sad reality for Tae Joon Park.
