Continuation........................ hi everyone..................... i am back...............typing....and thinking..............here we go....

Meanwhile as Changmin continues to talk, Taemin, feeling irritated, kicks the corner of the table to get the attention of Kibum, much to his dismay, the latter cannot notice his irritated gestures. When he runs out of patience and could no longer take what is happening, he goes to Taeyang to pour out his sentiments…

Taemin:           (grumbling) Mr. Teayang, could you do something about that guy. He is an annoyance; 
                        please ask him to leave Key hyung alone… 

Taeyang:         (laughing at Taemin’s jealousy) Oh…Mr. Taemin, don’t worry, I will. It’s just that he’s a
                        customer after all and you know we can’t afford to just shoo them away… Remember (taps
                       Taemin’s shoulder) customer’s are always right?! 

Taemin:           (pouts) yeah…ok… but Mr. Taeyang tonight is about my time with Key hyung and I don’t
                        know when I will see him again… I bet that guy comes here often. (looks up at Taeyang) I
                        bet, he might see him here one of these days… Please Mr. Taeyang will you be
                        considerate enough? 

Taeyang:         (laughs) Ok…let me see what I can do? 

Taemin:           (beams and hugs Taeyang) Thanks Mr. Taeyang (quickly looks at Changmin) Look Mr.
                        Taeyang, he’s gonna eat Key hyung… stop him!! 

Taeyang shaking his head, requests Taemin to stay put and relax, goes down at the lower level and looks for Changmin’s companions. Reaching their table, he mingles with them, and in the middle of their conversation, one of Changmin’s friends’ butts in asking where the latter is.  As a result, Taeyang uses this opportunity to ask them how he looks like – just so pretending he has no idea  - to offer help. They describe how Changmin looks like and after, Taeyang nods and tells them I will send him back as soon as possible. Thus, Taeyang heads back to where Kibum and Changmin are, being the latter still talking and totally enjoying his self with Kibum. 

Taeyang turns his head and find Taemin seated at the corner with his arms embracing his legs and his chin touching his folded knees. He sighs and pities Taemin so he walks toward him and pats his head and thanks him for being patient – he then proceeds towards where Kibum and Changmin are and says… 

Taeyang:         Excuses me sirs, Mr. Changmin, I think your friends are looking for you down there… they
                        are saying that they want to ask you something and have been looking for you for thirty
                        minutes now… 

Changmin:      (sighs) aaayyy… what a waste… I am just so thrilled meeting Kibum here… (looks back at
                        Kibum - shakes his hand) Kibum, Thank you so much for the time to talk with me. I am just 
                        so happy to finally meet you upclose. By the way, you are really so beautiful for a man
                        (quickly hugs Kibum)… bye…i wish to see you again.... 

Kibum:             (dazed)  hhhmmm… okay… 

Changmin claps his hands prayer style and thanks Taeyang and happily leaves the place leaving Kibum speechless and stunned. Taemin soon as he sees Changmin leaving quickly leaps to hug Kibum and says… 

Taemin:           Key, are you ok? (touching his cheeks) Key… (hugs Kibum) You've forgotten about me
                        Key… 

Kibum:             (awakens) Ohh i am sorry but be alright Taeminnie, I am just surprised by that guy, he
                        came on so fast and continuously talking. I guess he is so excited about something… 

Taemin:           (murmurs) ***yeah, infact he was all over you*** 

Kibum:             (raises Taemin’s chin) what did my baby say? 

Taemin:           (hugs Kibum) nothing, Key? 

Kibum:             Yeah, Taeminnie? 

Taemin:           Can we get out of here, let’s walk… 

Kibum:             That is a good idea… Mr. Taeyang, shall we? 

Taeyang:         (smiles at Taemin) Yes, Sir Kibum…

So they head downtown Paris and enjoy the citylights and panoramic views. After awhile, Taemin feeling hungry requests they buy food and drinks however does not eat the food right away – looking for a very good venue where they can enjoy eating - which Kibum readily agrees. Near the Eiffel Tower, Taemin requests to stop and sit to eat the food they just bought, upon opening the plastic bag, he quickly grabs and gobbles the food causing some to scatter on his cheeks – Kibum sees it and sighs; he wipes off few food traces with his thumb and before he can bring down his hand; Taemin grabs his thumb and swipe it off with his tongue then beams widely.  

The night’s atmosphere is cold however at the place they have chosen to spend the time for strolling – is just right due to the heat provided by several dim lights, finely placed group of decorated candles and some ornamented shrubs that block the wind from coming in. Aside from the dream-like atmosphere, the night offers cosy and even more delicate atmosphere. Kibum in a sitting position grins at the unaware Taemin being watched, however much to his surprise Taemin abruptly turns his face and says… 

Taemin:           (embarrassed) yyaaahhh…. I know you are watching me…. 

Kibum:             (laughing) oh… sorry… because you are just so cute and pretty with that outfit and long 
                        hair… (signals a wave) come here with me… 

Taemin:           (cutely drags his feet and then does walk-dances towards Kibum) hhmmm… 

Kibum:             (shakes his head) what are you doing? Come… 

Taemin comes closer to Kibum then after the latter locks both of his feet on at the other’s legs on the back and puts both of his hands around Taemin’s waist and leans the right side of his face on the other’s stomach. Taemin smiles at Kibum cute gesture thus wraps his hands around the other’s back and embraces him then deepens by the other. Kibum tilts his head backward to look at Taemin’s face and smiles, the latter surprised by Kibum’s action – smiles too. Taemin extends his body backward and lowers his head to kiss the other’s forehead then goes back to their original position and says.… 

Taemin:           Key? 

Kibum:             (closed eyes, responses) hhmmm… yeah… 

Teamin:           (hesitating) hhmmm… I have a request… and I will be very happy if you fulfill it… 

Kibum:             (raises his left eyebrow and smiles) oohhh… tell me what is it? 

Taemin:           can we stay somewhere tonight and not go back to the hotel, just the two of us and talk… 

Kibum:             (surprised and moves his head backward and pulls Taemin’s hands and body to the bench
                        for a sit and holds his face to look at directly at him) May I know why this is like a wish for
                        you? Am I that so important to you? 

Taemin:           (closes his eyes to avoid Kibum’s stares, pouts and talks) hhmmm coz… I-I envy Minho
                        hyung for meeting you ahead of me and have been together for a very long time  than me
                        who just met you recently… an-and soon you are leaving… I just want to be with you a 
                        little longer… just the two of us….  And have fun…. (face lights up) Keybummie, how about
                        we go for some rides tonight… Paris should be open twenty fours hours, right? 

Kibum:             (surprised at Taemin’s request) hhmm … (thinks)… 

Taemin:           (hugs Kibum) please…. Key hyung… please… 

Kibum:             (surrenders at Taemin’s cute pleadings) fine… fine… (and calls on Taeyang) Mr. 
                        Taeyang… Mr. Taeyang… just a moment please…. 

Taeyang:         What is it Sir Kibum? 

Kibum:             Kindly look for a different hotel for just us, two rooms to be exact (looks at Taemin)… one
                        room with two beds and the other room for you – Mr. Taeyang… and one more thing,
                        please call Minnie informing him and do tell him I will call him later… 

Taeyang:         (quite surprised but able to manage the surprise look in his own face and glances at the
                        happy Taemin so that he too smiles) Sure Sir Kibum… 

Kibum:             But wait Mr. Taeyang… let’s go have some twenty four hour time according to Taemin’s
                        description of Paris (and points his index finger at Taemin)… 

Taeyang:         (mouths gapes) Rides? At this time? 

Kibum:             (smiles and nods) yap… please call someone… wait (turns his face to look at Taemin)…
                        Taemin, what do you want – indoor or outdoor amusement park? 

Taemin:           (thinks and smiles soon as he is able to choose) aahhh… Outdoor is a lot more fun… 

Kibum:             (looks at Taeyang) you heard that Mr. Taeyang (and laughs) Outdoor shall we?
