Pieces and parts

"What do you mean you didn't know?" I exasperate.

"They didn't tell you? Who else would we live with?" I start to tear up as I hear the news. We talk for a moment longer before she hangs up on me and i sling my phone down onto the bed.

"So..?"

"Auntie didn't know we were coming to live with her, she doesn't even care that we're stuck out here. She said she can't take care of another kid, two of us at that." I sigh as my head falls to my hands, letting the stress tears fall.

"What?! Where else can we even go? She's mom's sister no way she can do this!"

"I mean i can't argue with her. And it's not like the court or anyone else cares about us. Maybe we can try grandpa." I wipe my face as i grab my phone and start dialing away when we hear a knock on the door.

"Come in."
"Sorry i wasn't trying to interrupt, we made food so come downstairs when you're ready." RM steps in and politely says. I could tell he knew something was wrong, his face painted with pity.

We walk down with him and eat the delicious food prepared, trying to forget what had happened. Eating together with them made it feel like a family,
it reminded me of our family.

"So Jeon, you wanna go check out the park? Everything's free, ride anything you want." Jin perks up and asks.

"Hell yeah!" He beams with a smile.
"Language Jeon." I roll my eyes, but he seemed too happy to care. He was always a ride enthusiast.

We all walk out of the house, Jin taking Jeon to whatever rides he wants and the other boys going to set up for the night, leaving me and RM alone again.

"You wanna go check on Hoseok?" He asks. I nod and he leads me to the parking lot. I could see everything much clearly in the daylight, the park in its full glory but the weirdest thing was when we got to the parking lot.
There were cars, but not just any cars. They were on the farthest end of the lot and even from where i stood i could tell they were old, dusty, and beaten up. Basically abandoned.
I know Hoseok is a mechanic but why have so many cars and no work done with them?

"How's it going lil bro?"
"Well I have good and bad news." He states as he turns to us, and for the first time i see the rest of his face.
Why hide a cute face like his?

"Well?"
"Well.. it's your battery. It's completely corroded, i'm amazed you were able to drive it all the way out here, drive at all for that matter." He states as he slides over for us to take a look. When i look into the car my eyes widen as i see a corroded battery, but the only thing was... this battery didn't look like mine.

"There's no way, I popped my hood the other night it didn't look this bad." I shake my head, thinking of what kind of sick joke this is.

"I mean it was dark, are you sure you didn't see it?" RM comments.
"How would i have not?! I've had this car for over 3 years it never looked like this!" I start to feel a bit hysterical. I look to the two boys who seemed concerned as they look to eachother, then back at me.

"Listen sweetheart, I'm sorry but there's no way you're getting outta here without a new battery. See the good news I have is that I can get you one.. but it won't come in till the end of the week." Hoseok explains. I stand there completely flabbergasted not knowing what to think or say.
Did i really just not see how bad my car was getting?
I feel tears start to form in my eyes from all the frustration of today as i fight to hold them back.

"Hey, hey y/n don't worry, it'll be okay." RM comforts me as he rubs my back. I hold my arms across myself trying to hold myself back.
We thank Hoseok and head back through the amusement park to find Jeon, my mind stunned from all the news today.

"I'm really sorry y/n, this is awful." RM apologies.
"It's not your fault, we've just had a lot going on today."
"More than the car?" He inquired.
"Yeah... the people we were driving out to, who we were supposed to stay with, just said she won't take us in... what a shitty aunt." I scoff and kick the rocks at my feet as we slow down walking.
I look up to see a sad look from RM, such a handsome face looking gloom. But suddenly his eyes light up with a thought.

"Maybe I can cheer you up."
