time to make friends

[Leonora]

It took what seemed like forever to get herself and the twins ready for a day at the park. Making up bottles, making sure she had a clean set of clothes for each of them, nappies and wipes and dummies. Picking up sadie from the play pen and grabbing her coat from off the sofa putting it on her and then strapping her into the twin buggy, going to get silas next and doing the same to him as she did to Sadie. Kissing each of her babies on the top of their heads Ocean put her own jacket on, picking up the bag with the babies supplies in and headed for the door. Living at home she didn't have to worry about finding her keys the living room was pretty much a mess right now but she would deal with that later. For now she just needed to get out and get some fresh air. Heading for the park so at least then Sadie and Silas could have a go on the swings. She just wished one of her siblings could have come with her but hey she was getting out that's all her mum had wanted for ages. Heading towards to park she didn't mind that it was a fair bit of a walk from her house she really did need the exercise but she was trying to not let the past few months get to her. Heading for the swings once she got to the park glad that there was one baby swing left when she got there. Turning towards her children, she smiled down at them. 'So who wants a go on the swings first'' she asked, not that either of them would answer they still where too young to talk. Picking up silas she put him into the swing and then held it still as she picked up Sadie placing her on her hip so she too could enjoy watching her brother on the swing. ''Hey baby girl looks like your brother is enjoying this doesn't it'' she said, turning to Sadie who was eating her hands. Shaking her head she let out a small laugh. She loved her babies more than anything in the world. But she did miss spending time with another adult. Or at least someone her own age.. Taking a quick scan around the playground she was by far the youngest person with children in the park. Letting out a small sigh she knew neither of these mums or dads would come over and spark a conversation. She would just have to make do with Sadie and Silas.

Akio looked over to Kavi, who seemed passed out on the couch, MinKyon playing by her daddy, seeming to have gotten a hold of something or other. "Kyon, what are you playing with?" He asked her, going over to the toddler.
"Nothin'" She said, holding up Kavi's cell phone.
Akio let out a small laugh, figuring it must have fallen out of Kavi's pocket. Looking outside, he saw it was a nice day. He was dressed in plain gray sweats and a yellow t-shirt, and was planning to go running, but then thought of something different he could do. "Be careful with that Kyon." He warned the little girl before going to find his mom.
"Mom, Kavi's like, passed out. Is it okay if I bring Kyon to the park?" He asked, finding his mother in the laundry room.
"I don't see a problem with it, it's nice today." Mrs. Choi agreed, seeming to like the idea.
"What is Zhi up to?" Akio asked, figuring his baby sibling would want to go too.
"He's asleep. Don't worry about him. Maybe I let Batari take him out later." Mrs. Choi explain.
Akio nodded, letting out a small "kay" and returning to MinKyon. "Kyonn ah, do you wanna go to the park?" He asked his niece.
She squealed out a "yeah!" and tossed the phone onto her father, who didn't even seem to twitch at the contact.
"Man, you must be tired..." Akio muttered to his twin before looking down at MinKyon. "Get your jacket, I'll be by the door to help you get your shoes on." He told her, and she all but ran upstairs to get her jacket.
It was obvious it was a lazy day for the Choi family, noticing even HyunSu was sleeping with his boyfriend right next to him. He pulled on his running shoes, figuring he could carry MinKyon and get the extra exercise on the way there.
"가자 오빠 (Let's go big brother*)!" She called, running through the house, slipping a little every so often.
"Don't run in the house." Akio scolded, helping her put on her shoes. Afterwords, he offered her a piggy back ride, which of course she accepted.
Once she was at the park, he looked around, seeing a swing just open up. "You wanna go on the swings?" He asked MinKyon after catching a drink at the water fountain.
She nodded excitedly, already going over to the empty swing and trying to climb up herself.
Akio came up behind her, picking her up and helping her in the swing, then beginning to push her. Finally getting the chance to look around the park, he was surprised to find a girl maybe a bit younger than him pushing a little boy. He gave her a small, awkward smile and nod of acknowledgement once he was sure she saw him.

((In Korean, the term "big brother" is used as a general for any older male that is close to you.))

[Leonora]

Ocean saw a boy give her an awkward smile returning what could be incorporated as just as awkward or damn right rude she wasn't sure. Bouncing Sadie on her hip she was getting a little frustrated, ''hey baby girl do you want a go in the swing'' tickling hour under her chin Sadie let out a huge giggle.. ''I guess mummy should take that as a yes'' returning Sadie to the push chair while she took Silas out of the swing. The moment his legs where out of the swing Silas started to cry, giving him a cuddle Ocean rocked him gentle. ''Mr man'' she said, ''I think your sister wanted a go on the swings. It's nice to share with your sister'' giving Silas a dummy to soothe him a little she put him back in the pushchair and took sadie out placing her in the swing, smiling a great big smile up at her mum Ocean gave her a gentle push and picked up and irritated Silas who didn't seem to be happy that he wasn't in the swing. Boucning him on her hip while she gave Sadie a few gentle pushes. She looked up at the boy had smiled at her before hoping to catch his gaze again, to smile at him again. To show that she didn't care what he thought of her. Heck she didn't even know what he thought of her, he could think she had brought her siblings out not her son and daughter. Smiling a great big smile when she catch his gaze for a second time Ocean studied his face. He didn't seem like the judge mental type maybe she should wave at him? Without over thinking her hand was in the air her fingers moving as she waved at this boy, hoping that he wouldn't think she was a total nutter.

Akio smiled widely as he heard her words to the little boy, trying not to look at her or make it obvious he was eavesdropping. He smiled in return, his hand also seeming to wave involuntarily as a response to hers.
"oppa (big brother), higher!" MinKyon said, seeming to shake him out of his daze.
"You're already going pretty high, Kyon." Akio argued, the smile seeming stuck on his face.
"Higher!" MinKyon begged.
Akio gave her a stronger push, causing her to squeal happily.

[Leonora]

Smiling more when she saw the boy return a wave, she let her eyes drop so she could pay a giggling Sadie some attention. ''I think its time we took a break from the swings'' Ocean said returning a now content silas to the pushchair and strapping him in before doing the same with Sadie. ''Who wants something to drink'' she said to her babies, both returned huge smiles so she guess they where hungry as well. Looking around the play ground she spotted a bench just behind the swings. Letting out a sigh of relief as she sat down. She grabbed the bottle bag off the pram taking out two bottles she was pretty much a pro at feeding both of her children at the same time, taking out silas's dummy and putting it next to him. Handing him his bottle he could pretty much hold it himself it was his sister that was lazy and always wanted her mum to do it for her. Frowning slightly she was so much like her dad it was unreal. Watching as Silas drank his bottle holding onto it for dear life like someone was going to take it away before he had finished. That made her chuckle he was so much like her when she was a baby according to her mum. But what did she know she couldn't remember that far back.

[Redeim]

Akio stopped her swinging, "Kyon ah, why don't you go play on the playground, huh?" He coaxed her, and she ran off to play.
He watched her for a little bit before going over to the bench where the girl had been. "They're cute." He told her simply, giving a small smile and pointing to the bench and adding, "Can I sit?"

[Leonora]

Ocean looked up when she heard a males voice saying ''they're cute'' nothing saying a word but nodding her head when he asked if he could sit. It wasn't like she could say no really wasn't her bench. Holding silas's bottle as he'd nearly drunk it all she had a quick look over at a now sleeping sadie taking her half drunk bottle out of her mouth and putting the lid back on the bottle. She was getting better at her drinking which made Ocean smile. ''I'm Ocean'' she said turning half way to look at this boy. She didn't extend her hand cause they where fill at the moment. She just hoped he wouldn't think she was rude. 'So erm.. What's your name?" She asked as she took silas's bottle out of his mouth replaced the cap and put the bottles away taking him out of the buggy for a cuddle.

[Redeim]

"Name's Akio." He replied, still looking at the kids with a sweet smile. He paused his adoration of the little twins and glanced over at MinKyon, making sure she wasn't doing anything too crazy. He tried to think of something else to say, but instead he blurted out the first thing that came to mind, "They're twins right? I'm a twin." Immediately after saying it, he felt like it was ridiculous, lowering his head and letting out a small sigh, muttering "Pabo (fool)" to himself.

[Leonora]

Ocean nodded her head at his question. ''They are twins, this is Silas'' she said as she bounced his slightly on her lap. 'And that's Sadie'' she said pointing to the sleeping baby. She didn't mention that they where her twins she would only answer that question if and when he asked. "So you said your a twin, do you look like your twin?'' She asked, she knew some twins looked alike depending if they where the same sex but that also didn't matter it was something about the egg splitting into two that made them look alike. She should really listen more in bio. She was after all retaking a year due to missing so much with the move from MABtown and then giving birth. But she knew she had to finish high school so she could support and look after her babies now their father wasn't in the picture anymore.

[Redeim]

Akio smiled as he waved playfully to each of the kids as they were being introduced. At her question, he nodded, "Yeah, we're identical." He confirmed to her.

[Leonora]

Silas let out a small chuckle when he saw akio wave at him as he tried to reach out and grab his hand. ''Cool'' Ocean replied when he said that he was identical to his twin. 'So what is he called'' Ocean said trying to make conversation. She wasn't quite sure what to say to this boy he didn't ask many question and didn't really say much either, and she wasn't much a chatter when people didn't seem open as she was.

[Redeim]

Akio let Silas grab his hand, shaking it playfully, before looking back at Ocean. "Oh, my brother's name is Kavi." He told her. He sat back up, leaning against the back of the bench. "How old are you?" He asked her curiously.

[Leonora]

Silas let out a chuckled when Akio took a hold of his hand digging his nails in to try and keep a grip on it. Ocean looked away when he asked how old she was. She was dreading the day when someone would ask her that question.''I'm 15'' she said, pulling the dummy out of sadie's mouth so it didn't fall on the group as she didn't bring spares with her. "How old are you" ocean said she did notice he had brought a little girl with her but she didn't want to judge him like people did with her.

[Redeim]

"Seventeen." Akio replied with a smile. The kids were cute, but based on his brother's experience, he was apprehensive about asking if they were hers. Before he got to question any more, MinKyon came over to him. "Uncle, I'm thirsty!" She whined. Akio laughed and pulled a water bottle out of his bag. "Here you go Kyon." He told her simply, handing it to her with a smile. He looked back to Ocean, "So do you go to school around here?" He asked her, figuring that was one way he might be able to find out of the kids were hers.

[Leonora]

Ocean shook her head. ''no I don't go to school around here well not since I erm' she stammered. Taking a deep breathe she let it out slowly and started again. ''I don't go to school around here since I had Silas and Sadie'' she said feeling like a weigh had been lifted off her shoulders. This boy she thought was the first guy she had actually said she was a mum out loud too. And in that moment she felt very happy with the achievement she had made. ''I guess it's kind of hard to pay for day care for two babies as well as get a part time job do home work as well as caring for Sadie and Silas.'' She said, not really sure why she was explaining herself but she felt like she needed to.
