Younghoon held Yeoeun's hand tightly as they made their way to the school. "Remember what I told you." "Yes, daddy." He knew she was a bright young child, but still worried about the possible cunning children that would be present. "Tell me one thing I told you earlier." "To always report to you if someone asks if I want to do something with them." "I know it seems like I'm being a bossy dad, but I just want my little girl to stay safe." "It's okay."

They arrived at the school and saw that the event was just starting up. He reluctantly let go of Yeoeun's hand and watched as she ran off to make friends. "God, please keep her safe..." He took a seat by other parents and watched his little girl run around with a few other children. "You made it." Changmin sat down next to Younghoon awaiting a response. He didn't receive one and decided to see what occupied his attention. "Hey..." Changmin proceeded to poke Younghoon until he finally got his attention. "Oh, Changmin. Hey." "You never told me your name." "It's Kim Younghoon." Changmin nodded as he repeated the name in his head. It seemed to roll off his tongue in a way. "I'm sure Yeoeun is going to have a great time here."

Younghoon couldn't help but find Changmin's smile and laugh magical. It sounded like angels singing and he started wondering if he was dreaming. "Hey, Younghoon." "Huh?" Changmin point over at Yeoeun who was approaching them at top speed. "Daddy, Hawong wants me to play in the sandbox with him." "That's fine." She scurried away and brought a smile to his face. He loved her so much that words couldn't even describe it. "Are you going to participate in the games with her?" "I can try. I was never really the athletic type." "Then I'll happily take your place." Younghoon playfully shoved Changmin who did the same in turn. "I'll do it. I'm sure she'd prefer me anyway."

"On your mark's. Get set. Go!" Younghoon clapped and cheered as Yeoeun carried the egg on a spoon. She successfully passed it on to him and he took off. He was in the lead until he stumbled and drop the egg. "Just peachy..." He felt something hold his hand and saw it was Yeoeun. "You did great!" "Thank you, sweetheart." She flashed him a wide smile then took off for the next game. "She's really a breath of fresh air..."

Younghoon found himself completely tired out and couldn't wait to get back home. He collapsed into a chair as he wanted to gather energy to make the trip home. "Here, you look like you need it." Younghoon looked up and saw Changmin holding out a cup of water to him. "Thank you." Changmin fanned Younghoon as he downed his water. "You should come next year as well. Maybe you'll win then too." "I'll consider it." Yeoeun ran up to Younghoon then accidentally kneed him in the groin. He felt the life leave his body and let out a wheeze. "Daddy...?" "Yeoeun, let's bring daddy home together, okay?" She nodded happily and held Younghoon's hand as Changmin leaned him against himself.

"Thank you Mr. Ji!" "Thanks..." Younghoon has mostly recovered but still felt a dull throbbing pain down below. "Anytime. I guess I'll get going now." Changmin didn't necessarily want to leave so early, but he figured Younghoon had better things to do than entertain someone like him. He walked down the steps in a daze then felt an unusual amount of air underneath his foot. "Watch out!" He braced himself for impact, but it never came. Instead, he was met with a sturdy chest and arms wrapped around his body. Changmin slowly looked up and was met with Younghoon's worried face. Changmin felt the blood rushing to his face and his heart beat had quickened.

"Are you okay...?" "Um, yeah. I am." "Yay! Daddy saved Mr. Ji from an ouchie!" They both looked back at Yeoeun who was smiling widely. "Ah, I'm sorry for causing you trouble..." He reluctantly pried himself from Younghoon's arms and hurried home, trying his best not to look back.
