[OPEN] I Can Believe I'm Not Alone

[Redeim]

Kavi shoved one hand into his pocket, the other one holding his baby girl's hand. He had just been burned by some snotty mother that thought she knew it all.
'Everything that's wrong with future generations starts with your kind.' She had said.
'What exactly is 'my kind?'' He had asked back.
'Teen parents. You are all so irresponsible.'
He shook his head, trying not to let something to petty bother him too long.
MinKyon looked up at him, "아빠 (daddy) I want ice crea므 (cream-kurimeu is what it is in Korean)."
"Oh yeah?" Kavi replied, looking at her with an eyebrow raised. He sat down on a bench, bringing her close to him, "Kyon, I told you earlier if you didn't finish lunch you wouldn't get ice cream." He told her sternly.
"응 (yeah) but I was full. You said if I'm full I don't have to eat..."
Kavi sighed and looked over at the ice cream. "Okay, but you can only get a small one, okay?"
MinKyon nodded her head as she skipped beside Kavi, "Uh.. Can I have a small scoop of chocolate ice cream?" He asked the server.

After getting the ice cream, he returned to the bench he was originally sitting at, setting MinKyon next to him, "Are you happy now, Kyon?"
She nodded, happily licking away at her ice cream, "행복 (happy)."

MinKyon nodded and smiled at the nice lady that walked up to them. "Yep!" She told her, even though she didn't quite get what Chiara meant.
Kavi looked up and smiled at the beautiful girl that appeared in front of him, soaking in her beautiful accent as well. "Is it bred into girl to do that?" He asked, teasing but not harsh, "I'm Kavi, this is Kyon." He paused. "Well, MinKyon, but everyone calls her Kyon."
MinKyon held up three fingers, "I'm two." She told Chiara proudly as Kavi nonchalantly took down a finger.

"Uh... yeah, she is..." Kavi replied nervously. He usually didn't get reprimanded by people his own age, but he was still nervous to admit it to anyone, especially after the earlier occurrence.

Kavi laughed lightly, "It's... It's okay," He said through laughter. "Uh... Thank you, I guess." Sometihng she said caught his ears, "oh, you're an actress?" He asked her, interested.

[Redeim]

Kavi grinned, "I see. That's pretty awesome."
"appa (daddy), I'm done with my ice cream." MinKyon told her father, pulling on his sleeve.
"Oh," Kavi muttered incoherently, looking at his daughter only to see she had managed to get ice cream all around her mouth. "Did you eat any of it?" He joked to her, a smile tugging at his lips.
MinKyon grinned.
Kavi looked to Chiara, giving her an apologetic smile, "I'm sorry, I'll be right back." He told her. "I enjoy talking with you, please wait?" He asked, making a cute face, trying to make his words seem less desperate than it sounded.

Kavi brought MinKyon into the bathroom, cleaning her up.
"아빠, 그 여자는 (Daddy, that woman is) pretty, huh?" MinKyon asked with a smile while Kavi was cleaning her hands.
Kavi blushed, "Hmm? Uh.. y-yeah, Kyon. She is."
"I wanna be pretty as her." MinKyon told Kavi. "When I grow up."
Kavi smiled softly, "You will be sweety, don't worry. Now, 가자 (let's go). Let's go back to the pretty lady, okay?" He told her, standing up straight and throwing out the paper towels he used. He stopped right before they got to the door. "Oh, Kyon?"
"네 (yes) daddy?" She asked, looking up.
"It's our secret that I think she's pretty. 비밀 (secret)" Kavi told her, holding a finger to his lips.
MinKyon giggled, "Okay~" As they left the bathroom, she grinned at Chiara, "onni!" She called to the girl, using the Korean word for "older sister,"* pulling her father along to hurry.

((*onni literally means "older sister," but it's also used when a girl is referring to an older female friend.))

MinKyon smiled, "Thank you. You look pretty too." She told the woman.
Kavi sat down next to Chiara and then put MinKyon on his lap, "Did I take too long?" He asked her.

[Redeim]

"Well, I was planning to do a bit of shopping to get some clothes for both of us, but we were taking a break." Kavi told her.
"Daddy don't like shop." MinKyon told Chiara matter-of-factly.

[Redeim]

Kavi raised an eyebrow, "Oh, you think you can make shopping interesting?"
"shopping fun!" MinKyon exclaimed excitedly.
"Of course you think it's fun Kyon, you're a girl. That's also in your blood." He muttered. He sighed and looked at Chiara, "Fine, prove to me shopping can be exciting."

[Redeim]

"Okay, okay. (said monotonously) Shopping is fun." He sighed, "Some spring clothes for her, and some winter clothes for myself." Kavi told her, he hesitated for a moment before adding, "We're one of the families that got relocated from MABTown, I'm sure you've heard about it."

[Redeim]

Kavi gave her a sympathetic smile at the mention of her also being one of the relocated, then blinked a couple times, "That's a good idea." He stated matter-of-factly, then let out a sheepish laugh, "I don't think I would've thought about that."

[Redeim]

Kavi looked around the store, trying to find things that interested him. He held onto MinKyon's hand, as she wanted to just run around and play with anything she could get her hands on.
MinKyon led Kavi over to Chiara, holding her hand out to the older girl, "onni," she called, reaching her hand towards Chiara's, signifying she wanted to hold hands.
"onni means older sister, by the way." Kavi muttered, hiding the blush as he thought about how this might cause people to think she was their child, not just his.

[Redeim]

MinKyon immediately began practicing how to say the word for "older sister" in Greek, muttering it under her breath.
"Uh... Um.. It's kinda cool." Kavi stuttered, taking the jacket and examining it. "Should I try it on?" He asked the girls.
MinKyon nodded, "Looks cool, daddy!" She told him enthusiastically.
Kavi let go of his little girl's hand and searched for his size, then took off the jacket he was wearing and tried on the new one. "Well?" He asked the girls.
"Still cool." MinKyon said, giving her father a thumbs up, then looked up at Chiara, "My daddy the coolest, huh?"
