Wired (BTS Robot!AU)

''And right now she's locked herself in her room. I'm not sure what to do with her anymore. I'm losing hope and I don't want to lose her. I love her way too much, Damn it. Sis. I'm at my wit's end. If I get a babysitter she'll think I don't trust her.''

This was the 18th call in the past month. Eun-Ha knew this because she had marked the tally on a spare notepad as a cruel joke. She got out the different colored pens to mark the tally.
''She called me the other day. Eun-ho. And she does love you she just... She's lost.'' She looked over the note pad and over other countless record sheets to look at a small polaroid she took of her niece when she was only 8 years old.

She should have been paying attention to her next big project that was almost complete. But she frantically tried so hard to pay attention to her youngest brother. ''Yes, Yes. Eun-ho. Why don't we get into something else for her?'' She asked him while writing down some things she needed to take into the office the next morning.

''Like what? Oh sis, Let me tell you. She's like you in every way. So strategic. So smart and observative.''

Eun-ha sighed. This was a few weeks in the making. The back of Eun-ha's mind felt no fear. No regret. So there was no hesitation when she said.

"Go ahead and send her to me."

''Oh, Oh Sis. You're too busy aren't you?'' He asked her. She considered all of the possibilities , She really did. But she knew the real reason he was hesitant. Other than the obvious fact that his daughter was the last remnant he had of his wife.

''You think she'll be in the way. Look. It's just me in this big house. And Eun-min isn't too far from here. She can see her cousin, Taehyung. It's been years. There's enough room There's a lake, and plenty of other teenagers her own age. And, I want her to come.'' She said.

''- Look, I haven't seen her physically in three years.'' After sighs and many debates over the what ifs, Eun-Ho finally gave in. ''I'll- Okay, Okay.'' He said to her. ''I'll tell her. I'm not sure how she'll take it. But I'll tell her. I owe you one.''

Eun-ha picked up her manilla folder and put some blank notebook paper in it. ''I can have the guest room cleared out when I get back. I'll see her at the end of the week?''
''Sure thing. Sure thing.''~~

''So, you've agreed to be some kind of foster mom then?''

Eun-ha frowned into the receiver. ''She's my niece, My only niece and I miss her. So yeah, She'll be here. I mean, She won't be in the way or any- Why am I even talking about this with you? I called about the model.'' She had her bluetooth in so that she could focus on driving the car, Su-won's voice was coming out of the car stereo.

''Yes, MODP1013 is coming along just fine, Thank you. Your design with this one really is something. But if you don't mind I uh... modified a few things.''

''A few things?'' Eun-ha started to grow panicked, her hands gripping the steering wheel with a little more force than she meant to.

''Nothing like that. Just, model wise.'' Said Su-won with confidence.

''But I did exactly as you said, I've uploaded 35% of coding from MODP1011, The female who booted up for a few minutes before she fried her own system. But the rest of his coding. Ma-male.''

''Good, Good.'' Eun-ha praised. But in reality. She knew she probably shouldn't have been doing this. After the first five robots proved to be failures, She said she would give up for a while. Go back to her research and keep reporting it back to her superficials. Maybe go back to Marine biology like she said she would last year.''

''Su-Won.'' called Eun-ha. Her voice getting low and very serious. ''The coding from MODP1012 was destroyed like I asked you to do it, right?'' She questioned as she pulled into the parking lot. There a small pause from Su-won. But finally he sighed. ''Yeah, destroyed completely with no trace.'' Upon hearing that, She sank down into her seat with a relieved sigh.
''Good job, I knew I could count on you. I've just parked.''

''I'm in the usual room. Lucky for us they haven't occupied it in years.''

This made Eun-ha feel like a child being scolded. But she shook it from herself as she climbed out of her car.
