Continuation............................................my last page for today.....

Heechul and Jessica step out of the room leaving them behind and when once gone, they all look at each other in a surprising manner…

Minho:             (wonders) who could it be?

Taemin:           Mom, Dad… this is too much… I was thinking of earning money for myself along
                        with your financial support… but I guess it is fine…these presents… (sighs)…

Sooyoung:       (smiling) Taeminnie… you know your Aunt and Uncle are sweet people
                        especially Bummie…

Leeteuk:          Taeminnie it is impolite to reject them… they treat us like family…                  
                        so be thankful regardless…

Taemin:           (smiles) yes… I wish I can thank Bummie personally…

Sooyoung:       (sighs) we all want to see Bummie… Taeminnie… you know that it is impossible…
                        His time is always so short…

They remain silent except for Jonghyun who is currently bewildered and puzzled what is going on thus he thinks,

“I know I have heard that name before… but I could not … I swear I could not remember where and when..”.

Just as he wants to inquire about what needs to know, Jessica and Heechul steps in with…

Heechul:          Everyone, please meet my nephew, Onew…

Onew:             Good day everyone, I am Lee Onew… Pleased to meet you all…

Jessica:           (hugs Onew) Onee, they are family over there is your Uncle Leeteuk and
                        Auntie Sooyoung… on this side are their two loveable sons Minho and Taemin
                        plus their handsome nephew, Jonghyun…

Onew bows to everyone and walks towards Minho, Taemin and Jonghyun saying,

“Let us all get along then...”

then goes back to where Jessica and Heechul are… further the latter speaks…

Heechul:          He will be Bummie’s temporary’s Executive Assistant while Mr. Taeyang and
                        Ms. Joonie are currently away to do some important transactions…
                        Although Mr. Taeyang is far away… you may still contact him coz he is always
                        updated as to what is happening with Bummie’s life and things that he does…
                        In any case, you may contact Onew if you need information as well…

Jessica:           Onee… did you have a good flight on your way here?
                        (looks at everyone) by the way, he is also bright a very good support for Bummie
                        and we are actually very happy that he is able to spend his time and effort in assisting
                        Bummie… He is your hyung by the way… He is older than Bummie by three years…

Onew:             (embarrassed) Yes… Auntie… Mommy is a bit sad though that I will have to leave her…
                        (smiles)… but I was able to persuade her nonetheless…

Heechul:          How’s Auntie Teef…

Onew:             She is very fine Uncle… she is actually busy working on a research project on
                       discovering cure on Alzheimer’s disease…

Jessica:           (sighs) Is she not ever plans to retire… she ought to be enjoying her life now…
                        my goodness…

Onew:             (nodding) Yes… Auntie I have been suggesting and persuading her…
                        she is just stubborn as always… she said that If I stop her, she’ll die…

Heechul:          (chuckles) typical of her… anyway… Onew… kindly sit beside Taemin…
                        they all just arrived today for Taemin’s sake… He will be studying here and we are
                        arranging things for him…

Onew:             (bows) Alright Uncle… excuse Auntie…

Onew walks towards the location of Taemin, Minho and Jonghyun… He greets them again and settles himself comfortably sitting. Taemin glances at Onew and takes a notice of how good looking the latter is… he talks to him in a slow manner…

Taemin:           Hi Hyung… am pleased to meet you…

Onew:             (smiles) Same here… I heard you will be studying here…

Taemin:           Yeah… and I am pretty excited about it… I would have wanted to do it on my own
                        but they insist in assisting me…

Onew:             (makes an “o”) Then I guess it everything would be fine…

Taemin:           (chuckles) I guess so…

Onew is about to reply when suddenly Jessica calls Taemin attention…

Jessica:           Taeminnie… so wake up early tomorrow alright… we will go to your place and
                        check if it is according to your liking… ok?

Taemin:           (smiles) Thank you Auntie… Uncle…

Jessica:           (smiles) Fine then… Can we leave the four of you to do whatever you wish to do
                        together… We wish to talk to your Mom and Dad…

Minho:             (smiles) yes… Auntie… Uncle…

Sooyoung:       (nods) sure you can manage...? take care of your Jonghyun and Onew hyung… ok?

Minho:             (chuckling) Mom… we are no longer kids…

Sooyoung:       (taps Minho’s arms) aahhh… Meannie…Minnie… fine then… go…and leave us here…

Onew, Jonghyun, Minho and Taemin step out of the room to look for a place where they can talk and hang out. Onew suggests going outside so they can breathe some fresh air which everyone agrees … successfully spotting a place they can spend the afternoon, Jonghyun speaks…

Jonghyun:       (sighing) aaiisshh… I am so frustrated that I don’t know what is going on…
                        but you know what Minho… something rings a bell to me…
                        I swear remembering his name somewhere…

Minho:             (sighs) I wish we know too… but as far as we know…
                        we are not allowed to ask more of Bummie’s whereabouts, right Hyung (looking at Onew)?

Onew:             (surprised) aahh… I deeply apologized that I can not divulge any information as regards
                        Bummie… however I was informed by Auntie Jessica, Uncle Heechul and
                        Mr. Taeyang about your family’s close relationship with the Kim’s and I will deeply
                        honor and respect that…

Minho:             (chuckles and looks at Jonghyun) See… Jonghyun hyung… what did I tell you…

Jonghyun:       (absentminded and mumbles) Mr. Taeyang… Taeyang…
                        where the heck did I hear that name… anyway… what did you say?

Minho:             (sighs) aaii… hyung… you are lost in your own world again…

Onew:             (looks at Taemin) so Taemin… for how many days are you all going to stay here?

Taemin:           Probably about four days but I will be back anytime within this month to start
                       processing my enrollment requirements…

Onew:             (smiles) If you want I can probably offer help… I know people…

Taemin:           (gasps) Oh… that would be nice… sure…

Minho:             (surprised) whoa… lucky you Taemin… you are not going to have a hard time here…

Jonghyun:       (looks at Onew) hyung… Jonghyun here…

Onew:             (chuckles) I know… what’s up…?

Jonghyun:       If you don’t mind my asking, what is it that you do?

Onew:             (casually replies) No it’s fine, I do a lot of things basically, I know some of the things
                       Bummie knows that it is for this reason I was offered by Mr. Taeyang to temporarily
                       work on his behalf…

Jonghyun:       (thinks… “there is this name again”) Mr. Taeyang?

Onew:             yeah… Mr. Taeyang? He is Bummie’s Executive Assistant, a very good and
                       trusted man by Bummie… He handles what Bummie does… quite a busy team
                       along with his wife Ms. Joonie… they are excellent people…

Jonghyun:       (his heart thump loudly that involuntarily he clasps his heart with his hand) my gosh…
                        now I remember him… oh my gosh…

Minho:             (surprised) what about it Jonghyun hyung… what is it? What is the matter with you?

Jonghyun:       (pants) hhmmm… I hope you don’t mind … I need to keep it to myself for the meantime…
                        I will have to ask Auntie Sooyoung… sorry…

Minho:             (sighs) aaaissshh… everything here is like obliquely near to an opening but 
                        completely unclear…

Onew:             I am sorry guys but in due time perhaps Bummie will unfold everything right
                        before your eyes… but for now… we will have to wait for things to happen…
                        even me… in all honesty, Mr. Taeyang did not totally disclose everything that 
                        Bummie does… I am only supporting Bummie on his behalf – oriented and trained
                        for six months for the things that I need to do… Let me tell you now… it ain’t easy…

Minho:             But you are amazing too… I don’t know what you are supposed to do but if it is
                        coming from Mr. Taeyang then I believe you must be very good…

Onew:             (smiles) I hope so…

Minho:             May I ask, so where are you going to stay Onew hyung?

Onew:             I am requested to stay at Bummie’s headquarter… but for the meantime,
                        I will be staying here as well and will go with Auntie and Uncle at Bummie’s place.

Jonghyun:       (gasps) what do you mean headquarter? I thought he lives here?

Onew:             (chuckling) Oh no… this house is just one of his residences here in France…
                        I believe as what I was told, they are only here to stay for the purpose of your
                        visit and meeting all of you…

Taemin:           (shocked) Is that so?

Jonghyun:       (looks at Onew gaping) one of his residences…
                        (now looks at Minho) Minho… you’ve got tell me about Bummie you know…
                        exactly how immense is this person… that you know… he is your age, right?

Minho:             (nodding) yap… precisely just ahead of me by three months…

Jonghyun:       Why on earth he owns a headquarter… and this house is just one of his residences…?

Onew:             uuhh… you might want to ask Auntie Sooyoung; she might give you an idea…

Minho:             Hyung…
                        (sighs) we do not know what Bummie does… but to be honest… 
                       it does not really matter to us whatever he does, what is important for us is
                       his presence and being with him… and we don’t care about others…

Jonghyun:       (hums) interesting disposition you have there… Minho but if I were on your shoes…
                        I would like to know what he does… who know…
                        You might be helpful in what he is doing… well…. This is just my opinion… s
                        So don’t take it seriously… however it is up to you then… just in case…

Minho:             (smiles) I got your point hyung… you’ve got an interesting theory as well…
                        we will see… but i think I am already thinking about that....
