"Jihyo, c'mon, we have got to go get Daddy," you mused to your young daughter as she got distracted once more by something tedious, watching her toddle alongside you, "like how we come get you from school, hm?"

Jihyo nodded, her tiny hand clasping yours as you both enjoyed the summer sun that was showing today, beaming down on Seoul and South Korea and bringing nothing but smiling faces out on to the streets. You had dressed your daughter in pastel purple floral overalls that Joshua had gifted for her second birthday. To match, you'd styled her dark hair into pigtails adorned with some small purple bows to match her outfit. You were convinced you'd done an amazing job at being her stylist today - that's what she called you when you dressed her, all thanks to her father.

Falling away from the bustling streets filled with hordes of shoppers, your daughter and yourself turned down a small lane towards the Pledis building, where you let Jihyo's hand go so she could play a little as you walked - as long as she stayed within a permitted distance, that is. You watched as her pigtails bounced with her skips, giggling gleefully at something that was most likely beyond your comprehension. She stopped, turning to look at you to ensure she'd stayed close enough and as she stared, you couldn't help but stare back and admire the small child.

She was a splitting image of her father almost, save for your eye colour. Her attitude almost mimicked him too however whenever she was even somewhat sassy, Chan's eyes would fall on you as the one to blame. You'd laugh every time, convinced she got the best aspects of you. Sometimes you'd tease Chan, commenting that if he wanted a mirror image so badly he'd have to try for another one - and every single time his ears would turn red, his eyes wide as he stumbles on his words and looks away embarrassedly.

"Jihyo, come here please." You spoke softly towards her, watching as she waddled her way back to your side, grabbing your hand in response as you came to the road that the Pledis building situated itself on. She bounced excitedly as she waited to cross the road, knowing that it was soon time for her to put on her best Daddy's girl act to get her way. She was way too good at that, you were convinced she must have got it from you too.

The Pledis reception staff and security greeted you warmly, recognising you as you walked in with your daughter closely entailing, still holding your clammy hand in hers. They'd make comments about how much Jihyo was growing every time and she would prove their point with giving them a wave and saying hello. She knew well how to capture everyone's hearts and you were told by many that she'd be a heartbreaker one day, or perhaps even a celebrity herself.

With a small grumble, Jihyo tiptoed to reach the dance studio's door handle, moodily refusing any sort of help from you. Eventually her small chubby fingers brushed the handle enough, pulling it down as you helped push the door open.

"There she is!" Chan exclaimed with a small gasp as his daughter came running across the studio to where he was crouched, "wow you look so beautiful today!"

You greeted Chan's group members, watching as Chan peppered Jihyo's face in kisses and she giggled in response, patting her daddy's face in response.

"Yah, that suits her so much," Joshua commented on the overalls he'd purchased for her as he stood not far from your side, "I should have got the yellow pair too."
