[ Chapter 5 ]

"WAHHH!!!!"

A small pair of lungs held firm with the owner's screams, her face red from the lack of air. The staining of tears was covered by the new that rolled down her face, as her little hands push against her father's face in anger, what her father hadn't realised was that the rice cakes he received that morning is incredibly spicy.
He rocked the small girl in his arms with a sorrowful expression, the pain she was feeling obviously couldn't be comforted by him rocking her but she refused to trust him. He had rushed to grab ice-cream and the milk, but the ice-cold treat was kicked from his hands, and she turned away from him.

"I'm sorry, Pubba is sorry, he didn't know," he continued to apologise to his little girl, he felt awful. He could only rock her back and forth, Mila hated the taste of plain milk only accepting it if she had her special flavouring straw, a babysitter he had hired once let her try it and since then, she only likes flavoured milk.

An idea came to him, maybe a trip to the convenience store could help. He only hoped the cashier wouldn't be too alarmed with Mila's tears, but he desperately needed something to sooth her burning mouth. Without much thought, he snatched up his things with Mila still crying in his arms and rushed out the door, he did a double check to make sure he locked the door before quickly began his journey into the dark streets.
He did receive a few head turns from those who enjoyed night walks, due to Mila's crying but he ignored them and continued to rush to his destination.
The teen rounded the corner, he spotted the store of last night within his sight at the end of the street, he let out a sigh of relief.

As he continued to rush towards the store, he noticed a tall slender woman walk inside. He wasn't initially alarmed, but the black vehicle that pulled up slowly on the opposite side of the road, called for suspicion. He narrowed his (E/C) eyes as the vehicle's lights lit up the street he tracked, slightly blinding him. He kept Mila wrapped in his arms and pulled her closer to his body, he lowered his head and continued speed walking to the store, occasionally glancing towards the suspicious car.

RING

The doors slide open to reveal a sniffling child and a worried parent, the cashier from the night before seemed to be working tonight as well, giving the taller male a sense of comfort. It looked like he had awkwardly been talking with the attractive female but stopped due to his announcement from the store's chime. The chubby boy seemed shocked and relieved by his presence, the woman who looked kind at first was quick to narrow her eyes and give him a sharp glare. He ignored her and gave his cashier friend a friendly smile.

"Hello again," He greeted softly, before moving around the isles to find soothing treats for his daughter. He didn't notice the woman's shocked gaze on him, before she huffed and walked out, not without wishing Daniel a good night.
To him, it was like heaven, a beautiful woman was actually nice and held no disgust towards his appearance. It was the same with (Y/N), his eyes drifted off towards the area he saw the teen duck into and began to wonder about him.

'He is so young, but he already has a daughter...' Daniel thought to himself, 'is it normal to have a kid at this age?'

The chubby teen looked down at the counter with an unreadable expression, his thoughts lingering on to the pretty baking prince and his heart races. From his point of view, (Y/N) remained respectful and polite to everyone he meets, not once has he seen the teen judge someone based on looks. Then again, he hasn't known him for very long.

"Are you alright?"

A soft voice snapped him from his thoughts, Daniel looked up to meet the worried gaze of his kind-hearted friend and the tear-stained face of his little girl. Who was indeed very adorable, her (H/C) hair tied up into two messy buns above her head, and a matching pair of (E/C) eyes like her father. It was like looking at a mini female (Y/N).
The chubby cashier looked up to the beautiful teen with a friendly smile, "I am doing okay, I wanted to say thank you for last night," Daniel scratched his head with an awkward laugh.

The baking prince shook his head softly with a gentle smile, "No need to thank me, I didn't do much to help."

"You did," Daniel smiled with genuine appreciation, "thank you, really."

(Y/N)'s eyes stared into Daniel's slightly shocked, in the end he could give him a smile and pat the shorter male's head. It was a hard habit he struggled to break, due to the small girl in his arms. The pretty prince decided to stay for a bit longer, with his daughter and him eating at the small table at the back of the store.
Mila reluctantly trusted him again, eventually eating her rice balls and non-spicy noodles.
