Remotest - MR. PARK 3

Chapter 58

Jimin was sitting in the car, waiting for lim to come back.

If he was being honest, he was terrified..
"I wish I brought Biyanka with me" he closed his eyes. He had never done this stuff.

"Sir, you shall come" lim opened the door of the car letting jimin get down.
"Why am I nervous.. i want to make my little girl proud .. what if I ."
"You'll do well sir, after all you're THE PARK JIMIN"
Lim interrupted and jimin just coughed

...

"Ain't your parents gonna come?" A seven year old asked Mari while he held his mother's hand
"M..my Appa will be coming!" Mari smiled instantly trying to prove her point
She was enthusiastic and very happy about the fact she would finally be having her daddy accompanying her for school task..

"But you always come with your uncle, you're probably lying.. your parents don't really care" Sebin the 7 year old spoke again making Mari pout and sad instantly.

"I..it's not true" she interjected
"Oh sebin we don't talk like that to friends, it's okay to not have parents my baby.. say sorry to her" suddenly the mom interrupted making Mari even gloomier

Her eyes were on the verge of tears..
she knew her Appa loves her so much..
he will come.. right? She looked around ...
Everyone was already holding their parents hands.. laughing.. and preparing for the games..

"Mari? Will your parents be accompanying you?" Came in her teachers voice and Mari just looked at her with a tear slipping down

"Ofcourse yes!"

Both of them turned only to find Jimin standing wearing holding a little bag..
"Appa!" Mari was too quick to run towards her father and jump in his arms
"I..I thought you wouldn't come"
"How could I not my princess" he kissed her cheeks

"Oh Mr. Park, you're here.. I..it's such a pleasure seeing you in person" the teacher's tone instantly changed seeing the fine man standing ..
All the eyes were already on the father daughter duo, more like just the father.

"Good to see you, id let you know I'm here as Mari's father and we would be participating in All those games. I hope it's not a bother. Lim will take care of the security and other things" Jimin spoke and the other could only nod.

...

The entire ground which was filled with parents.. were looking at just one person..

Jimin

The mothers who came for their kids felt too fortunate to come cause otherwise they would've lost the chance to see the one and only Park Jimin.

"He's even handsome in person! I really had no idea my Eunha was going to the same class as Mr. Park's daughter"
One of the mothers chirped

"Oh he is very handsome! I wonder why his wife didn't show up.. she's brave. If I had a husband like him.. I wouldn't even let him go out without me"
Another joked

"You want to have your chocolate muffin right now?"
Jimin asked helping Mari with her hair
"After the game Appa!" She said while he finished with her ponytail.
..

"Is everyone ready? All the parents are advised to not push any other. Straight go to your child and pass them the flag, then wait at the line.. anyone crossing the line would be disqualified!"
One of the sports teachers announced

"Did you hear appa! No line cross! Run fast okay? I will run fastest" Mari jumped and Jimin just chuckled
"Okay princess but you better not get hurt, it's okay even if you lose! We will go to McDonald's" he smiled to which Mari shook her head

"I want to win!" She pouted
"We will win" jimin caressed Mari's head now sending her off to the other end of  race track

Jimin jumped a bit, took deep breaths,
It had been long since he had to full fledge run, hell he haven't even been that regular to the gym.

Staring straight at his little girl smiling and shouting "All the best appa! You're the best!"
Jimin smiled blowing her a kiss..

"On your marks, get set, go!"

All the parents ran towards their kids,
In total 7 parents participated,

Mari cheering seeing her father run fairly faster than the rest, but only one of the other kid's father who was actually competing well..

Just on the edge, Jimin was the first to reach the line as he gave away the flag to Mari who just in time got so serious and ran away..

Jimin tried to stable his breathing while watching his girl run like her life depends on it..
"Mari! Baby! Careful!" Jimin shouted
But Mari was way ahead of other kids..

All the teachers stood impressed seeing Mari run and come back to her father.. who was patiently waiting..
As the race came to an end, Mari won by a huge margin, in arms of her father cheering.

"Appaaa! We wonnnn!" She shouted and Jimin laughed
"Yes honey we won!" He walked towards the stands

"Young madam! You were brilliant!" Came in Lim holding a water bottle
"Thank you uncle Lim! Apps was so good!"

Jimin made her drink water when the teacher announced the winner and everyone clapped for Mari.
