Free at Last (Sunki) ON HOLD

The Child

Riki saw the sun up on the sky again, he felt the impact of the fresh breezy air on his skin, stretching his arms up above to where he can reach, and inhaling every little freshness he got.

Riki was out from prison.

Finally proven not guilty after a ruckus made by the culprit in the court not even trying to hide his suspicious manners and yet still tried to frame the younger, though this was not left unnoticed by the court.

A lot of things had happened and it went on fast. First thing Riki knew was he finally had been set off from prison yesterday and was now in the park being pestered by a lost child, who seemed to took a liking of him for some unknown reason.

"Hi!" Said the lively child.

He thought ignorance was best for the moment, and so he continued to give no attention to the child that had sparkles in his eyes while looking up at him.

He did thought that the lack of attention would lead the child to get bored and leave him, however somehow regretted it when he learned that the boy was still following him everywhere.

"Kid could you stop following me?" He said not batting an eye at the kid.

"Hmm?? why nawt?" The boy replied pure curiousness reflecting on his big round eyes. The child could be easily kidnapped he thought for being so overly familiar with strangers. some might think he was adorable, but for Riki he was no where at that point for being so annoying.

"Look, where's your parents?" This time Riki stopped walking, still not looking at the child.

"Whas a pawent?" The child said, this made Riki's mind stop. He looked down at the child who was still looking at him with sparks on his eyes.

What? He thought.

"Do you not have anyone with you today? like your guardian or something?"  Riki was now fully looking at the child, He was too tall that the boy had to take a few steps backwards to avoid his neck from hurting.

The question only made the child furrowed his brows, looking very puzzled. to say he was adorable was an understatement with his small cheeks being puffed from the pout of his little mouth and his head hung low thinking about what a "guardian" is until he thought of a certain person.

"ah! ddeono! ddeono! u wan to see my ddeono?"asked the boy, jumping excitedly suddenly putting his tiny hands on Riki's Pants which the man couldn't react immediately due to how the child was very much full of energy and too entertaining to watch, not to lie.

somehow looking at the child made Riki warm inside, he felt nostalgia but he knew those memories were now deeply buried and non existent at his present times.

Riki was now crouching to level his height with the child, but Riki being so tall made it a little impossible to fully level it nevertheless it was easier that way for the little boy. Riki sighed knowing the excited toddler wont leave him alone, but what confused him the most was how did the child endure being close with him when mostly people and children find him intermediating.

"Kid go to your..."Riki paused, he wasn't sure what the child addressed his guardian, but was immediately interrupted by the boy.

"Ddeono!"

"Yeah that, go back to them, they're probably worried about you right now."

"wowried??"

"BYEOL!"as in cue a man with a sling bag wearing a pastel sweaters with dark hair called.

"Byeol here you are! I've been searching for you all over the place. why did you ran off from me? its dangerous."
The man said, worry plastered over his face taking the child in his arms. Riki watched the man studying him. He had brown beautiful eyes that anyone can get lost into,thick brows, puffy soft looking cheeks, perfectly pointed nose, and perfect plumpy lips, He was very attractive and cute, although what bothered him the most was how the latter looked so exhausted. thick dark circles were found underneath those pretty eyes of his, his lips were pale as well as his face, his hair was quite a mess assuming it was caused by him looking for the toddler, but overall the man was a mess however still looked stunning at even in the state he was in.

"Ah! thank you for looking out after him. I'm very sorry for the trouble he has caused." The man said slightly bowing. Riki only nodded his head slightly and was about to walk away when the child called back.

"Mistwer weyt! wahs your neym?" the child asked still on his guardians arms. Riki stood in a halt looking back at the boy who had both of his arms hooked on the slightly shorter mans neck.

"Riki" He said before continuing to go back home hearing the little boys farewells.

Riki was now back in his empty house, well specifically not empty, but it seemed lifeless since he lived alone in a big place. The man walked his way to the living room plopping himself on the couch. Today was rather tiring and somewhat a little entertaining due to the little toddlers energetic self, he allowed himself to quirk his lips up thinking of how it must've been so hard looking after the lively little boy...

just like how he was when he was younger....

Soon then he drifted himself to a deep slumber.
