Continuation.....................REPOST OF LAST PAGE FOR CHAPTER 27.........

In the meantime as Jonghyun, Minho and Taemin are discussing, Leeteuk arrives and surprised to see Sooyoung sulking at the corner side of the bed…in a worried face, he walks towards her… asking…

Leeteuk:          Dear, is something the matter? (kisses Sooyoung’s cheek)...

Sooyoung:       (sobbing, raises her face to look at Leeteuk) Teukkie… Bummie… Bummie Teukkie…
                        my older brother Shindong….Bummie…
                        (sobs hard)… thank you so much…

Leeteuk:          (confused and pats Sooyoung’s back) yeah… I hear you…
                       what about Bummie and hyung?

Sooyoung:       (voice breaking) Bummie… Shingdong oppa…

Leeteuk:          ok… Soo… take a deep breath….so I can understand you clearly… relax...

Leeteuk lets her pacifies Sooyoung and patiently waits until she subsides down. Sooyoung takes a deep breath and relaxes herself then speaks…

Sooyoung:       Teukkie… I mean is, hyung never told me about his businesses on near bankruptcy…
                         he never did…and then one time during Bummie’s as represented by Mr. Taeyang
                         calls on a business conference meeting which my brother by chance attended.

I don’t know Teukkie but by chance or luck, he bumped on Mr. Taeyang and they talked casually and then Shindong shared about his plans of shutting all of his businesses due to bankruptcy… as a result, Mr. Taeyang no questions asked, suggested to give all his papers then according to Jonggie… Mr. Taeyang went to visit their home…

Leeteuk:          (excited voice) then what happened…

Sooyoung:       Teukkie, according to Jonggie… Bummie buys all his businesses just to save all of
                         them and lend them money to buy forty percent of the total shares payable when able.
                         Not just that, Bummie made them as one of his distributors to supply products for him…

Teukkie, I don’t know what to say… I am mad with Shindong for not telling me or sharing his problems with me but happy at the same time that they are saved by Bummie… It is so totally unplanned… I don’t know what to say… Bummie is so nice… he really has a good heart…

Leeteuk:          (exhales loudly) whoa… how many businesses hyung has?

Sooyoung:       I think about twenty of them in five countries… thanks goodness… and Bummie even
                        stated that if everything goes well, Shindong can start buying back his shares from
                        Bummie at the same price…

Leeteuk:          Very lucky… Dear let’s go see Jonggie…

Then Leeteuk and Sooyoung go out of their room to check on Jonghyun when suddenly they hear screams inside Minho’s room, hurriedly they walk and opens the room and surprised to see Jonggie being pounced by Taemin and Minho… so that, they enter the room panting and ask…

Leeteuk:          what were those screams we hear… all about?

Sooyoung:       what is happening?

Minho:             (panting) nothing Mom… we were just having fun…

At the same time, Jonghyun glances at Kibum’s portrait which catches Sooyoung’s attention and quickly instinctively thinks,

“aahh… he saw Bummie’s portrait” 

and giggles…

Sooyoung:       Jonggie… you don’t happen to be enchanted by Bummie, do you?

Taemin:           Mom… yyaahh… stop involving Jonghyun hyung… we will not allow it… no way…

Sooyoung:       Aaahhh… gotcha… so that was all about it… Jonggie has a thing for
                       Bummie too… is he not beautiful?

Jonghyun:       (smiles) Yes… Auntie...
                        (waves at Leeteuk) Hi Uncle… welcome back!

Leeteuk:          (smiles) Hi son… are you alright…

Jonghyun:       (nods) yeah… I am fine… it is just that these two are so selfish…
                        they do not want me to know about Kibum…
                        (looks at Sooyoung) oh… so you call him Bummie…?

Sooyoung:       (nods then after shakes her head) just so you know… these two guys have their
                        respective calling for Kibum… Minho calls him Bummie and Kibummie while 
                        Taemin calls Kibum – Key… so…
                        (beaming at Jonghyun) Jonggie… beware… coz otherwise these two will bite you…

Jonghyun:       (sighs) you two are very selfish…
                       (looks at Sooyoung) Auntie… where is he; will I have a chance to meet him?

Upon hearing the request of Jonghyun, the room suddenly becomes so quiet nobody dares to talk… then Jonghyun speaks again…

Jonghyun:       Uncle, Auntie everyone what is with the silence… it is creeping me out…
                       what is going on?

Sooyoung:       (sits besides Jonghyun) Jonggie… on behalf of everyone…
                        I wish we can tell you about Kibum… but in the same manner not to offend you
                        that we can not share any information about Kibum… please do not get mad at us… 
                        but this is something too personal and private… however, the only information 
                        I can tell you is that Kibum is not here… he is somewhere so busy….
                        But what I can promise is, that I will let him know about you… who knows…
                        you might be able to see and meet him…

Jonghyun:       (gasps) really… that’s how important he is to all of you…

Sooyoung:       (nods) yes… Jonggie… we love him as well as his family so much…
                        that we can not break the trust they have given to us… but the promise I have just
                        mentioned… that! I can do something about it… don’t worry Bummie… is a very nice
                        and down to earth person.. so nice… and very beautiful inside out…

Jonghyun:       (nods) fine Auntie… I can’t wait for that day to happen… so for the meantime…
                        it is alright… I am fine with it and respect all of your decision…

Sooyoung:       (exhales loudly) Thanks Jonggie… (smiles)…

Jonghyun:       (smiles foolishly) But Auntie… he really is super gorgeous… I am not kidding now
                        wonder Minho and Taemin want him for themselves… but I am really dying for that
                        day that I’d be able to meet him…
                        (takes a picture of Kibum located near Minho’s bedroom corner table) … look Auntie!
                        He is naturally beautiful… who would not… He’s drop dead gorgeous…. Look!!

Taemin:           (whining) Mommy… Jonggie…hyung acting silly… hyung… we said no…no… and no…
                        you are off limits… we can only allow you to look and admire him when the time comes
                        that you’ll meet him…

Minho:             (serious tone) Yeah… I agree with Taemin... hyung…

Jonghyun:       (gasps) oh my both of you scare me… wwhooaa… Auntie and Uncle… are they really like
                        these protective and selfish over him…?

Sooyoung and Leeteuk both chuckling nod at Jonghyun… and giving him warning eyes. Jonghyun sighs and says…

Jonghyun:       aahh… seriously… I feel like stepping on a mine bomb…
                       (looks at Minho and Taemin and jokes to tease) but… I can not make any promises…
                       you know…
