“Mason, please...” Subin begged, knees pressed tightly against the linoleum of the shopping mall’s floors. The toddler fussed loudly, squirming and trying to escape her grasp as she attempted to pick him up. She needed to relieve her bladder ASAP, not one more second could be spared. But with Mason not cooperating, she was certain that her little trip to the ladies room would be catastrophic. (She could picture the child escaping under the stall’s doors as she took a moment to herself and that... would’ve been a difficult situation to maneuver.) Normally she would never ever consider asking a stranger to watch over the her child but she had no other options left. “Excuse -” her eyes widened, speech cut short as she recognized the so-called stranger she deemed acceptable to look after Mason. “Oh, wait. I know you! Mokwon, right? I’m Subin and --” She shook her head, now was not the time to ramble. “Anyways, my so- my brother won’t behave and I need to go to the bathroom can you watch him for fifteen seconds, please? Pleaseeee?”
