3 Name Me!

"Ahem!" Eunica clears her throat while sitting in front of 8 who's so cute with her Pikachu onesie.

She never knew why she bought large clothing before on sale, but now, maybe it's because she'll meet someone who will wear them.

8 was sitting on the floor while sniffing the sleeve of the onesie. He's looking at her happily,

"So, I'm going to ask you cute little thing..." She just whispers the 'cute little thing' part while pointing at him.

He just tilted his head, "Hm?"

'Gawd, he's so cute even if he has bruises and wounds! He's so perfect!' she internally screamed her fangirling out.

"What's the plan of your friends in escaping? Tell me!" She shouted, acting like she's an alpha. She stood up with her hands on her hips.

"'Cause they want to be free." He said while brushing his hair.

'I don't know if he's hot or cute anymore!' she blushed while looking at him.

"Free?" she asks.

He stands up, then leaned on the wall while looking at the chains in his hand.

"Yes, free. We just want to live outside and be like other humans." He clenched his fist.

Eunica looked at him, he was so lonely. He's tied down by the experiments that sick scientist made to him. He's hurt. He's sad. He's limited. He's imprisoned.

"Then, why didn't you go with them?" She walks towards him then leaned beside him.

"Because I want to be free with you." He looked at her, with his sad eyes but smiling lips.

She frowned, not knowing what he means.

"What? I don't know what you're t--"

She got interrupted by a voice from the speaker, the Head was talking in the Observation Room.

"Next question, E.A."

She looked at him, he was so serious. He was anxious as well as if he was trying to hide something.

She walks towards her seat,

"Where are they going?"

"Nowhere, anywhere, somewhere. I don't know, they just want to be free."

"Who started the plan?"

"Him. #010, the snake."

She suddenly remembered a snake that she saw while walking.

'He must be here to take him,' she thought.

After a few more questions, 8 answered them without hesitation. He sounded like he did not know anything other than the reason they escaped which was to be free.

"You can stay with him if you want, seems like he's close to you. He never answered our questions before even if we hurt him. We can use him for other purposes if you ask him," the Head said to Eunica who went out from the Containment Room.

"Use him by using me? What?" She got irritated by the word 'use' but she also felt like she was complimented.

"Just do your job. Go back inside." The Head then took his leave.

Eunica went inside then sat on the floor beside 8, he was laying on the white floor.

Inside the pure white room, 8's onesie flashed. Reflecting with the light, the room looked like it was so yellow.

Eunica felt warm inside with the color beside her.

"Hey, I'm thinking. I'm having a hard time calling you by number, can I name you?" She whispers, loud enough for 8 to hear.

He looked at her, then nods while smiling.

"Okay, what do you want to be called?" She asks, looking directly into his eyes that is full of excitement for the new name.

"I don't know. All I know are numbers." 8 said while looking at the observation room.

"Okay, hm. How about.... Eljin? It means freedom provider." Eunica was fond of hearing names and their meaning when she was working at the bar before.

8 looked at her with wonder and amazement. 'Freedom provider?' he thought then smiled.

Eunica saw the most beautiful smile she can ever see, it was too pure and happy. She never knew that a hybrid that was beaten to death and experimented would know how to smile like that.

"Then, I'm Eljin!" He sat down while repeating his name.

"I'll use a nickname for you, I'll call you Jin!" She wanted to feel special. She knows that naming something or someone creates a special bond. So, using a nickname means that she's extra special for him.

"Okay! How about you? What's your real name?" He suddenly pats her head, making her feel embarrassed and happy at the same time.

"I'm Angel," she said shyly.

'Eunica is what a lot of people call me, I want you to be special.' she thought while smiling.

"What does it mean?" He asks,

"It means messenger."

"Then, You're going to send me a message for me to be free?" He asks while looking at her,

"Yeah, more or less it's like that." She chuckled, Jin then laughs with her.
