My Absolute Boyfriend (절대 그이)

Good morning, Girlfriend.

Who is this...

handsome man I'm seeing first thing in the morning?

Your boyfriend.

I guess I got really lucky.

Is this how you spent the night?

Yes.

It was the happiest night...

of my life.

This is the happiest morning...

of my life.

Are you sure you don't want to sleep in?

Sure. I slept well.

I feel so refreshed.

That's a relief.

Let's get ready to go out, then.

We need to take pictures together.

I'll pack lunch.

All right. Then I'll get...

the mat and camera.

Young Gu.

Young Gu.

Young Gu. Wake up, Young Gu.

Young Gu. Young Gu.

The more...

he obtains human feelings...

I mean, the more...

he loves Eom Da Da,

the more fragile Zero Nine will get.

Actually, it may have already begun.

His meltdown.

Hello?

Please help, Bo Won.

Something is wrong with Young Gu.

Young Gu collapsed, and he can't wake up or even open his eyes.

Please help. Please come here at once.

It's nothing, right?

He collapsed without a reason last time too.

What's wrong with Young Gu?

Is there a problem?

Manager Ko.

A meltdown?

What is that?

It's a phenomenon where the hardware starts to melt...

when the heat from the software's operation...

exceeds the maximum coverage of the cooling system.

So...

to simply explain it, it's a sort of overload.

It's just like how cellphones or laptops...

grow hot when they're used for a long time.

When robots reach their maximum limits,

they cause problems.

A strong heat must've been continuously generated inside him...

while Zero Nine was staying with you.

That must've been expressed like a heartbroken person.

I mean,

why is that overload happening?

Well...

Based on what I've seen until now,

Zero Nine was more than a mere robot.

He was already learning human emotions.

I think things like that caused the overload.

This is all our fault.

There must've been numerous symptoms of the meltdown until now.

We were blinded by our greed to get more data.

We overlooked the fact that it would cause an overload to Zero Nine.

Girlfriend.

Young Gu.

Girlfriend.

Bo Won.

Manager Ko is here too.

Zero Nine, are you okay?

Yes, I'm okay. I'm fine.

Are you really okay?

Yes, I'm okay.

I'm sorry for worrying you.

Right. We should go on a picnic.

I'll prepare the lunch soon.

No. It's okay.

I think we should go on a picnic next time.

Why?

It's okay, Girlfriend. We made a promise.

I can prepare it soon. Just wait a moment.

Young Gu.

What are you doing?

Are you okay?

I tried to get out lunchboxes, but this broke.

I'm sorry, everyone. You were surprised, right?

Young Gu, are you okay?

I'm okay. I'm...

Zero Nine...

What's wrong with me?

I should quickly prepare lunch.

What about tuna gimbap, Girlfriend?

Would sandwiches be better?

Young Gu, you should stop.

Bo Won, I'm fine.

Young Gu.

I'm really okay.

I'm fine.

Young Gu.

Stop.

Let's rest now, okay?

Girlfriend.

I'm fine.

I'm okay.

So don't worry.

The meltdown has progressed further than we thought.

I think we should minimize his actions before it gets worse.

Even talking and moving alone...

will accelerate the meltdown.

Is it that bad?

This isn't good.

We're supposed to go on a picnic.

We're to nap on a mat on the grass,

take photos together...

Young Gu.

Bo Won.

Young Gu.

You trust me, right?

So take a break. I'll make you well again soon.

Get some rest.

Yes.

Think that you're getting some sleep.

Don't think about anything, don't do anything,

and just lie in comfort.

Okay?

Okay.

I promise.

But when I wake up,

I'll love you even more to make up for this.

It doesn't mean that your love stops...

just because you're lying down here.

So don't worry.

Now...

what happens to Young Gu?

We'll know after thorough testing,

but he has many sensitive parts.

I can't say for sure what other problems we'll find.

He can get better, right?

We can exchange the parts affected by the meltdown,

but the problem is after that.

If Zero Nine continues to learn human emotions,

the meltdown will continue.

Is there anything I can do to help?

I don't mind. I'll do anything.

No.

This is a problem we must solve.

It's our field. Trust and leave it to us.

Okay.

Please do your best.

Girlfriend.

Can't you look at me now?

I...

want to be loved.

It buzzes right here.

So...

can you not go?

And...

this isn't programmed.

I love you.

I'll be by your side forever...

and will look only at you.

Everything you said to me,

everything you did...

was at the expense of your melting heart?

I had no idea.

I didn't know.

I'll call the head office...

and ask if there's a way to fix Zero Nine.

It's all my fault.

Nam Bo Won.

I didn't know Young Gu was breaking down.

I egged him on.

To become more human.

To love more and be loved.

I pretended to care for him, but I was the worst.

Manager Ko.

I'm a selfish jerk.

All...

because of me...

Keep your wits about you.

You must stay strong. You can't let go now.

A meltdown?

That's why a toy should act like one.

So?

Manager Ko and Nam Bo Won...

are looking for a way to save Zero Nine.

What they do and find out,

I want you to spy on them and report back to me.

Don't leave anything out.

Hwang In Hyuk. - My gosh.

Manager Ko.

Who did you talk to. - What?

You mentioned Zero Nine's meltdown.

You didn't call Diana, did you?

Well...

Diana's more like a poison.

Don't stay around her.

I'm not.
