Jisung POV

"What are you seeing?" I ask, making sure my hand held on Bora's tightly.

She smiles and points to the candy shop as we walk around the mall. Hyunjin smiles and picks her up. She giggles happily.

We decided to wear similar outfits today. A white shirtsleeve shirt, colored shorts, and white shoes. Hyunjin practically begged me to wear shorts down to my knees. I had to give in because Bora agreed with him.

She let me put her hair into pigtails and we found bangs that had been parted and mixed into her hair. She's so cute.

Hyunjin takes my hand and we go into the candy shop. Bora gasps at the sight of it all.

"That's so many!" She smiles.

Hyunjin smiles and gets her a bag. I help her get whatever kind she wants while he tells her what the candies are. She fills the bag halfway with candy when we're done.

"Here, Babe, I hold her. You can have the honor of paying." I smile while taking Bora from him.

She hugs me and smiles. "This is fun!" She squeals.

"Is it fun? You like it?" I ask.

She nods. I kiss her chubby cheek and go over to Hyunjin, who was waiting. He had the candy and a red bag in his hand. I put Bora down and hold her hand. Hyunjin grabs her other hand and we continue down the store.

"Can I eat my candy?" She asks.

"We have to eat lunch first, but then you can have some. Okay?" Hyunjin smiles at her.

She nods. We stop in a clothes store and let her pick a couple of things. She finds a black and white striped shirt and points at it.

"What is that called?"

"It's a shirt. It's cute, too." I smile.

"It's a cute?" She looks at me.

"No, it's a shirt. It looks cute." I kiss her forehead after picking her up. "Do you like it?"

She nods. "That one." She points at the red and white striped shirt next to it.

"You like this one?" I point to it.

"Yeah." She nods.

"You want more pants too?" I offer.

We pick out a few pants, a skirt, and some overalls for her. She spots the women's section and wiggles out of my arms.

She runs over to the women's clothes, particularly the bras. I run after her and grab her hand before she can grab a boob holder.

"Bora, no!" I scold her. "You cannot run away from me like that! It's very busy. Someone might snatch you up."

She pouts and points at the bras. "Baba, eyes." She says while sulking.

"No, those aren't for us. You're not big enough and Daddy and me don't fit those. We can- Where is Daddy?" I look around.

"Daddy got snatched up..." She whines.

"No, Daddy's tall. Umm, I'll call him."

I grab my phone and call him. He answers quickly.

"What's up?" He asks.

"Where did you go?"

"To the men's. I want another hoodie for us." He answers. "Why?"

"No reason. You just weren't with us."

"Okay, I'm just in the men's section."

Bora was on the brink of crying when I hang up. I bounce her in my arms and smile.

"What's the matter?"

"Daddy got snatched..." She sniffles.

"No, no, he didn't. I know right where he is." I walk her to the men's section and find him looking at a pink hoodie. "See?"

Hyunjin looks up at me and Bora. "Hey, what's wrong?" He asks.

He comes over and takes her. He wipes her eyes for her, kissing her forehead. She sniffles.

"Baba said you got snatched..."

"I did not." I scoff.

"Sweetheart, I didn't get snatched. I'm still here. See? I'm good." He smiles.
