I'm not sure how you became a father.

The long haired blonde man was bigger and muscular than both Seong-min and Cyrus combined, so he hugged them with a little too much force, "Hey... you're kinda, suffocating...Us!" Seong-min said.

"Oh god! I'm so sorry!" The man said backing away and stood facing them, allowing Seong-min to get a good look at his face, she immediately found the scar over his nose to be a nasty looking one, though the man was quite handsome, Like a modern viking would be.

She also noticed something about the little girl, she was carrying a panda-themed children backpack and had a bunch of panda themed accessories on her.

"I've called the cops, They'll be here any minute to help find this guy, once they arrive and do Their necessary job here,they'll take you and your daughter to the station, and you two brave youngsters would have to come too since you're now witnesses." The security guard said to them all.

"I'm sorry for the trouble, I hope you two can help us more." The little girl's dad said apologetically.

While smiling at the little girl, "No worries I can come with you, Although I'm not sure my mom would like it, she's here at the carnival, so I should let her know first." Seong-min said before she moved aside to call her mom.

Cursing, "Shit, more police to deal with...I hope Joel can get us out of this quickly." Cyrus said, and The Dad immediately recognized the name, "Joel Baker right? You know the guy?" he asked nervously.

"Oh Joel the cop! I think I've seen him here! he and I go drinking sometimes, He's one charitable guy too! always helping others.

So you know him kiddo?" the security guard asked.

While Avoiding to look at the dad, "Yeah, He's on a date with her mom here..." Cyrus said and Pointed at Seong-min.

Suddenly, "I like your...clothes...You look like... a panda sir." The little girl besides her dad spoke-up with some difficulty, she was talking about Cyrus's Black and white outfit, and especially his White dyed hair.

Without a response, Cyrus glanced at her, he realized something was off about the child, with a somewhat tan complexion, the little girl had dark hair and a big pair of Azure blue eyes, she reminded him of someone.

Of Julian.

...Few minutes later...

Soo-Min and Joel rushed to Seong-min and Cyrus's side, "Are you hurt princess!" Soo-Min immediately asked, "No I'm fine!" Seong-min replied smiling.

"What happened?!" Joel asked, "Some sicko took that little girl and tried to hurt her in the forest." Seong-min replied making Joel glance Around to see the little girl.

At first He didn't react much, when he spotted the girl who was talking with the female officer that was crouching in front of her.

But when he saw the man standing by the little girl's side who was also talking to another officer, Joel's eyes went wide open and he looked at Cyrus who gave him the i-fucking-know look.

"You're acting weird too now Joel, Cyrus has been starting at that man the whole time too." Seong-min said.

"Do you boys recognize him?" Soo-Min asked.

"Fucking hell..." Joel mumbled.

Just then, The dad was done talking with the cop and he approached the group, with his daughter walking by his side.

Seong-min noticed how the Man despite his intimidating looks, seemed so nervous about approaching them especially Joel, as if he recognized him.

Which got confirmed when he said, "Long time no see...Mister Baker."

"You're right...So you have a kid now." Joel said while trying to maintain his anger so he wouldn't scare the little girl.

Clueless, "You daughter is very pretty." Soo-Min said.

"Thanks! she is...her name is Julian." The man replied.

Hearing that, "You MOTHERFUCKER HOW DARE YOU?!" Cyrus lunged himself at the surprised dad but luckily Joel grabbed him in time, holding him back.

The other two cops who were talking with the Shopkeeper and the security guard, saw what happened and rushed towards them.

"Joel what's happening, why is Cyrus is trying to attack this man !" the female cop Asked, "Donna, You and Richard escort Mister King and his daughter to the station first, I'll bring Miss Young and This brat with me once he calms down." Joel said.

"Yes sir!" The cops replied, "This way Mister King." the cops said guiding the confused Dad and his daughter with them.

Finally connecting the dots, "Stop!" Seong-min said making The cops and the man stop walking.

"Princess, what are you doing?" Soo-Min asked, "Seong-min, don't do something stupid." Joel said.

"I don't understand why your friend wants to attack me...But it won't change the fact that I'm grateful for you two helping my daughter." The dad said.

"You forgot to introduce yourself, not that it matters now.

You're him right, You're Moses king." Seong-min said, her heart began beating so fast from anxiety.

Surprised, "How do you my name?" Moses asked.

"I just stopped you to let you know, that even if I knew she was your daughter specifically.

I would still risk my life for her." Seong-min said.

"What do you mean 'My daughter'?" Moses asked.

"I'm not sure how you became a father, but I hope that in past 7 years, you have truly reflected on your actions.

Especially the bullying you practiced on many innocent people in that highschool, Including Julian Baker, Nikolai Parmar and Jin Young." Seong-min said making Moses's eyes go wide open.

"Wait...Joel called you Miss Young, that means..." he said.

"I'm Jin's younger sister, Young Seong-min.

And that guy who just tried to attack you, was Julian's Boyfriend." She said.

...Some time later...

After She was done giving her statements, Seong-min and Soo-Min walked outside the station to go to Joel's car, to wait for Cyrus and Joel who were still inside.

"Should we call Jin?" Soo-Min asked, "Don't call him now, I'll let him know in the morning." Seong-min said.

"Seong-min!" Ha-yoon came running towards the girls as soon as she climbed off her car, "Noona!" Seong-min ran to her as well and hugged her.

Taking the opportunity, Ha-yoon who was carrying Joel's house keys in her hands, sneakily passed them to Soo-Min from behind Seong-Min's back.

"Thank you!" Soo-Min whispered and Ha-yoon blinked as a nod.

"Gurl, I swear you're out for trouble! Seriously first of all Flint and now Moses?!" Ha-yoon said breaking the hug.

"This time it was for a good reason." Seong-min said.

Just then, The girls turned back to see Moses and his daughter come out of the station with Donna the police officer from before.

"If anything else happens, please contact us, we'll keep you updated on the investigation, though we might have to ask you and your daughter to come by the station again Until we make sure we have our suspect." Donna explained and Moses nodded at her.

He then said goodbye and picked-up his daughter in his arms, walking towards the girls.

"Hey...ladies." Moses said awkwardly, Now that Soo-Min knows who Moses is, she started glaring at him alongside Ha-yoon.

"I'm glad your daughter is unharmed." Seong-min said, "It's all thanks to you, I'm forever in your debt." Moses replied smiling.

"How old is she?" Seong-min asked, her New chillness began surprising her mother and roommate.

"Hey honey, can you tell them how old are you?" He said to his daughter.

While avoiding eye contact with Seong-min, "I'm... Almost ...7 Y-years old." She said, again with difficulty.

"You're so pretty, Julian." Seong-min said smiling as she tried to pet Julian's head, but the girl dodged her attempt.

"Sorry, Julian doesn't really like people touching her under normal circumstances." Moses explained.

"It's a good thing, she's old enough to set boundaries." Seong-min replied.

"Although you're right, this isn't the case.

My daughter is autistic, it took me so much efforts to get her to accept my hugs." Moses explained, surprising them.

Seeing the panda backpack again, "You love pandas right! I love them too! they're so cute!" Seong-min said.

Smiling instantly, "I love panda bears!" the little girl said, "Do you know that ...Pandas are really great...swimmers!" she added enthusiastically.

"Really? that's amazing!" Seong-min replied.

Suddenly, the little girl surprised them as she started info-dumbing so much about pandas, "Yeah! Panda are usually black and white, but they don't have these colors when they are born.

Instead, newborn baby pandas look mostly pink with a tiny bits of hair! Their black and white colors Start to show after 3 weeks.

Baby pandas are also born blind with weak Hands and feet, so they can't go anywhere or do anything, they have to stay in their nests for two months, while their mommies feed them...!"

"Julian honey! I'm sure Miss Seong-min loves your panda facts, but it's late now...

it's time for sleep and she needs to go home." Moses said gently.

Disappointed, "But I have...so much to...say about Pandas!" Julian whined.

Gigging, "I'll take you tomorrow to eat ice-cream, and then you can tell me more about Pandas!" Seong-min suggested.

"Miss Young! You don't have to!" Moses said feeling embarrassed, "YAY! ice-cream!... I'm going to...eat ice-cream...and talk about... Pandas!" Julian said giggling.

"Julian you can't!"

"But Daddy please!...I want to!"

"It's okay Moses, I have no problem taking her...unless you don't trust me to be around her that is." Seong-min said.

Sighing, "No... it's not like that, I can understand that my daughter may not be easy to handle for everyone.

If I hadn't went into the restroom and entrusted her to that stranger woman who Instantly forgot to watch over her, my daughter wouldn't have ended-up being taken by that man." Moses said sounding guilty.

"So no one else was able to watch over her? Where's her mother? did you two come alone to the carnival?" Soo-Min asked.

Smiling in a sad manner, Moses placed his daughter on the ground and reached to open her backpack.

He pulled a pair of Panda themed headphones and placed them on Julian's ears, playing her 'her music ' before he turned his attention back to the other girls.

"My wife died sometime after Julian was born, I've been a single dad for almost 7 years now." Moses said, "I'm sorry for your loss." Seong-min replied.

"Wait, wife? weren't you like 18 or something at the time?" Ha-yoon asked.

"Yeah, We didn't plan for Julian...She just kinda came and I thought about Abortion at first because we were broke as hell, but Evelyn...my wife, she begged me to keep her, so we did.

And what do you know, right now Julian's my whole family." Moses said while smiling at his daughter who was bobbing her head to her music.

"I'm glad to see that you love Your daughter so much." Seong-min said.

"That wasn't always the case, I loved Evelyn, and then Evelyn died...I was lost and for the first few months after her death I was back to being cold and emotionless especially towards my own daughter...

If it wasn't for Evelyn's dad who knocked some sense into my head, I would've probably became a bad father to Julian." Moses replied.

"Why did you name her Julian?" Seong-min asked.

"Evelyn and Julian look alike Alot, and I mentioned it to Evelyn when I first told her about Julian.

Since Julian is a gender neutral name, It was Evelyn's idea to name her Julian...As a way to repent for my own sins, and finally have a new beginning.

My wife used to always say, 'Don't forget your past, let it teach you how to live your present'...She was a believer in second chances and forgiveness.

She taught me how to feel everything, from love, to guilt to remorse...I owe my wife and my daughter, everything that I am now." Moses explained.

"Now you owe me...so ice-cream tomorrow?" Seong-min asked.
