Chan woke up to the sound of someone banging on his door. He glanced at his alarm clock and saw that it was 1:30am. Who in the world is knocking on my door at this time at night! He grabbed his robe, pulling it on as he opened the front door. He came face to face with an officer and his partner.
"Hello, are you Mr. Lee Chan?"
"Yes. Is something wrong?"
"I'm very sorry but your parents have been in an accident. They didn't make it."
Chan was silent for a moment, just taking in the news that he was just given. His parents were gone. Oh my gosh. What about the others. What's going to happen to them. Shit. He couldn't process his emotions he was too worried about his siblings and what would happen to them.
"Um, what happens now? I have several siblings who are all minors."
"Child services are with them now. Your parents will state that if anything were to happen to them, they want you and your brother Lee Minho to become the guardians of your brothers."
Right. I forgot they put that in their will. I don't know anything about taking care of children, though.
"Right. Yeah, I knew that. I'll move in right away, and I'll call Minho.." He says, raking a hand through his messy bed head.
"We have two officers over talking to Lee Minho as we speak. I will let children services know of your plans to accept guardianship. Again, i'm very sorry for your loss." With that, the officers leave.
Chan is standing in his kitchen thinking about everything. He's poured himself some tea and is leaning against the counter just staring at it and thinking. His phone starts to ring, startling him out of his thoughts. He looks at the caller ID and sees it's Minho.
"Hey." He says quietly.
"Hey. What are you thinking? Cuz right now, I've only been thinking about our brothers."
"Me too, Minho. I'm planning on moving in first thing in the morning. But Minho, how am I going to do this. I don't know the first thing about raising kids."
"First of all, it's WE don't know anything about raising kids. You aren't alone here, I'm also going to move in and help. Second, it's not like they are strangers to us. They are our brothers. We've babysat them a lot, we know what they are like. Plus, we know what mom and dad were like with them and with us. It will be a learning process, sure, but we can do this."
"You're right. We can do this. We have each other."
The two talk for a while longer finalizing plans before hanging up and packing their things. Neither one was able to go back to sleep.
It had been 4 months since Chan and Minho moved into their parents' house to raise their 6 siblings, and it had been an emotional roller coaster. Things were finally starting to calm down. The boys had been pretty well behaved, but Chan and Minho knew that wouldn't last forever. They knew that at some point, the boys would start to push limits and test the boundaries. The boys weren't sure what to expect from their brothers, who were now their parental figures, not just their brothers.
Chan and Minho weren't surprised when the boys started to test the boundaries one bit. It started off slowly with little things that would get them scolded or swatted once or put in timeout. Felix was the first one to really test the boundaries, and it seemed like today he was in the mood to push all of the limits.
Chan was in the kitchen making lunch while Minho was in the living room reading a book. Jeongin was curled up next to him, watching some cartoons. Seungmin was playing with the train set they had in the corner of the room, and Felix was sitting in the armchair playing Legend of Zelda on his nintendo switch. Hyunjin, Jisung, and Changbin were nowhere to be seen, probably just in their shared room playing video games.
