It Might Be You... Who Knows...Sequel Story: The King and I (Will start at Chapter 537)Continuation........................................................as promised.......................let's start then....
As soon as JP Owen leaves, the three looks at each other in a puzzled manner especially Jessica because she is the daughter after all and in a one rhythmic action - they flip the journal. Jessica gasps seeing a sort of a seal and her heartbeat becomes so fast – she puts the journal down and breathes in deeply. Heechul and Kibum look at her in a concerned manner,
“Honey, are you alright, would you like to go for a walk?” asks Heechul follows Kibum,
“Mom, relax – you can do it”.
Jessica wipes her sweating hands and gets the journal and starts to read – while in the moment of reading, her behavior shows various expressions – and almost in the end of journal, she puts down the journal and faces Heechul, saying…
“Honey, your hunch just becoming a reality that I don’t even know what to say… totally mindblowing…I mean…aahhhh”
Heechul: (smiles gently) yeah… I kind of like sort of gave an uneducated guess… wow… Hon…
who would have thought…
Jessica: (sighs and cups her face and turns to look at Kibum) Bummie… are you for this?
Heechul: (smiles) yeah Bummie, it seems like you will be the recipient of all of these… oh my
gosh… just as I expected … it definitely becomes you…
Jessica: (a little bit relaxed) ppheeeww… what my late mother did was a good thing… a Queen and
Dad – King? Honey, honestly I can’t imagine my Dad being a King however since he too
belongs to a noble family – well … but …. Hhmm.. I guess I have deliberately shut the
possibility of my Dad acting nobly coz he has always been so out-of-this-world. Well, I
guess quitely exposed to Mother’s character somehow influenced him and being all their
lives having to living a sort of “normal life” away from nobility somehow lessened the
demand of acting according to appropriate behavior.
I wonder if my grandparents are still alive, if not, it is probably Daddy who is running discretely the so-called their kingdoms that is, Mom’s and Dad’s… Honey… I can’t believe this… I feel so weird right now… and Mr. Kangin – oh my gosh… has been Dad and Mom’s pole of strength – so I am amazed by all of these. Therefore, there is still another world we all need to attend to with…Oh, this can be taxing…
(Lowering her head on top of her folded hands lying on the table) Aaaaiii… I wonder what Dad next plan is. Am beat…. (exhales)… aaahhh
Heechul: Honey, we will never know what plans Dad have under his sleeves… perhaps he has only
been acting inappropriate for someone as “King” in front of you. We may never know how
he acts when we are not around him. He probably is someone serious as a monk…
The only purpose I see logical is that perhaps in front of you, he doesn’t have to feel obligated and just be happy amidst all these business activities… No wonder you were so entrusted to a lot of things coz his hands are full most of the time…Imagine running two kingdoms all at the same time… aaahhh… I can not fathom the idea of being everywhere…how tiring…
Bummie… son do you have anything to say… your thoughts are greatly appreciated…so what do you think?
Kibum: Somehow I had inkling that Papa is hiding something… as he was asking me all the time
how I would feel if just incase you were born with for example, nobility status…
Heechul: and your answer?
Kibum: I did not really take it seriously however I remember saying that I would not mind coz
having a noble status does not make any difference from who I am now – I would still be
doing the same thing – perhaps different responsibilities and priorities.
Jessica: (looks at Kibum admiringly and thinks, “wwhoooaa, he is amazing..”) hhhmm you have a
point there… I am not worried…
Heechul: But still different right? I mean reading the last two conditions of our late Mom – that would
mean Bummie is going to take the throne one of these days…How’s that Bummie…for a
“Kingly” status…
Kibum: (sighs) Daddy…. Aaiisshhh… (chuckles) so troublesome… a robe and a crown… ooh…
that would look me like some sort of a cup cake with heavy icing on it…
Jessica: (laughs) Bummie… what the heck was that…
Heechul: (laughs too) could you not think of other words to describe other than a cup cake…
Jessica: (gasps) oohh… that reminds me, how would your Aunt Sooyoung, Uncle Leeteuk as
well as your dearest friends and admi—oh I mean bestfriends feel about you having a
noble status…my… awkward?
Kibum: (ponders and smiles) I don’t think so – I believe they will still act the same
behavior towards me… I dunno, to say the least I am not worried at all…
Suddenly JP Owen enters and sits at the center of the table, smiling and looking at everyone…especially Kibum…and says…
JP Owen: So Bummie… what do you think…
Kibum: (looks at Owen) is this kind of an immediate thing to do… are there options that I can
choose from?
JP Owen: It is up to you however (taking out from him a seal of nobility and showing with his index
finger pointing at the seal at Kibum) this is who you are and Jessie (opens his palm pointing
towards Jessica) and (presses his palm on his chest) and me… as well as (pointing at
Heechul) you Heechul, my son…
Heechul: (surprised) Ohhh Mmm-Mee?
JP Owen: (gasps) Of course… what do you think?
Heechul: (smiles timidly) Ohh…
Kibum: (takes a deep breath and exhales) ye-yeah… what can I say… but Papa… I would like to
make a request…and ooohh before that… the King and the Queen or great grandparents,
are they still alive?
JP Owen: (sighs) Yeah…and they have been pestering me since Jessica’s time and now added by
Bummie – they have been a pain in the head anxiously wanting to meet Bummie and you
too Heechul – the entire family for that matter … and mind you it has been such a problem
of mine for almost thirty years…
Jessica: (gasps) Oh really…I would love to meet them Daddy, please?
Kibum: (surprised) Oh Papa that is great news, so when can we meet them?
JP Owen: Anytime you want… I can call them now and let them know – my, they will surely be so
excited… want me to call…
Jessica: Bummie? It is all up to you?
Kibum: Mom? So YES! (laughs)…
JP Owen: Ok… (calls Kangin) Mr.Kangin you are needed here, please come…
Kangin: (arriving and bowing again to all of them) Yes … (moving his head from Jessica and JP
Owen) uuhmm if they know now, I believe a proper address is appropriate…Lord Owen…
JP Owen: (sighs) No…No… I forbid you calling me Lord Owen… I feel like some “Old Grumpy
Person” Mr. Kangin…the normal would be fine…
Kangin: (laughs) as you please… (goes to the corner to prepare viewing facilities) kindly don’t be
alarmed as there would be movements from your position alright? So here we go…
