Chapter 11         A Wild Goose Chase…

   Minho and Kibums’ Predicaments

Point in time:     Just  regular days…

                            Kibum  and Minho – age around 15

Location:            Mostly School Focused… Middle – Junior High School

It is a usual day for someone like Minho; it only becomes special when he is around his best friend buddy Kibum.

He sure is indescribably always in high spirits for the reason that he sees Kibum regularly unlike the “once in a blue moon” occurrences.  Although the “regularly” - is not on a daily basis, Minho considers it a “normal happening” and he is fine with it. For your info, Kibum does not attend school day after day – he’s given special schedule – could be on weekly, bi-weekly or according to how he can manage his school activities apart from being home-schooled and his other activities.

Refer his strong affection towards Key as Unrequited – Minho does not mind. He does not care that this immature uncharacterized stance he has for Key which the latter may not even be aware that he’s someone affection - is incomprehensibly beyond ridiculous.

Though Minho has not yet realizes the deeper meaning of his insurmountable fondness over Key, he has discovered and considered the fact that he will forever develop and treasure these wonderful moments of circumstances he is receiving from Key – unconditional acceptance – and Minho thinks; that’s more like it.

But lets face it – Minho is still young unlike Key who’s mindset is far too large diverse than Minho so that expect some sort of a variety of intense comical display of adorable energies.

So let see how things are developing?

“Thanks Mr. Kikwang! Luckily it is still early – I can still manage to find a place where I can easily spot Kibum’s arrival. I don’t want to lose with these people! I have always been left out and ended up being swarmed by these so-called Kibum’s Fans Clubs!”

You see; Minho though he’s shy in a given new situation, however once familiarization sinks in - he’s thirst for competitive character sparks fly.

So, Minho able to hit upon a perfect place; resolves into spending his waiting time enjoying a seemingly beautiful nature unfolds before his eyes – dreaming deciding what he want this day to happen – in so doing, suddenly dozes off to nirvana. When without a warning…

“HE’S COMING!” “HE’S COMING!” EEEEHHHHH!!

“Let’s go…greet him”

“By the gate, by the gate, people!!”

Only be awakened by a series of screams coming from who he considers his rivals, resulting to making his life unbearably difficult to manage – Kibum’s fan girls/boys. Minho sighs and says, “Aissshh, what is this – not again? I fell asleep!”

Looks around finding himself passed by what could look like in hurry for dear lives shoppers grabbing the opportunity of the - 2-minute $2 Each Item Shopping Spree  - promotional event.

“Oh my, this is getting harder and harder every day”. Now hearing the now getting too loud screams from the crowd…

“Oh, He is here!”

“He is here!”

Minho quickly runs steadfastly amidst scoffs coming from students… “Excuse me, Excuse me…”

“Hey watch you’re going! Darn it!”

“Oouuchh, you…creep!”

He continues unbothered searches for an excellent spot where Kibum can easily see him – he searches endlessly almost to a point feeling desperately defeated, he finds a remarkably outstanding spot – something attached to the building. He runs as fast as he can ironically he realizes that what he is doing is exactly the same as these people.

Reaching the place; a bit hesitant as to whether to pursue or not – goes for the go - he turns his head right to left two times checking on guards on possible sight. Thus, without seeing a sight for sore eyes – the adrenalin starts to pump up; the earlier sense of hesitancy is now being clouded by full determination.

He leaves his things on the ground; focuses and starts to place his feet on the ladder for the climbs quickly as possible disregarding the feeling of queasiness at the current state he is.

Luckily for Minho at the same time while in the middle of his “Operation Mark A Spot”; Kibum stays a bit longer inside the car due to the surprising activity he has witnessed before his eyes. He finds it bizarre - how many people are anxiously waiting and screaming his name and the fast establishing happening of a chaotic scene. Kibum in a panic-stricken state says…

Kibum:             Mr. Taeyang, where are these people coming from? The school has only few registered students and this
                        I see is not a group of few?

                        Taeyang:         Bummie, I have no idea but this is not healthy for you.

Kibum:             Mr. Taeyang, I am not a celebrity. I am just like them. And wait, there, there - is the son of the Prime
                        Minister – why is he not flocked by them. Another one, there, are the children of the famous actors. And 
                        yet, why me? I do not understand.

Taeyang:         Bummie, information spreads like fire - though I knew about your confidential registration - I guess, it cant
                        be helped, you’re parents are highly respectable people in the society locally and globally. Judging the
                        way they react towards you – I am pretty sure they know who your parents are. You know, sometimes you 
                        cannot avoid events, things or people voluntarily thrown unto you. You can not avoid from people’s
                        thoughts about you – you might have sparked an inviting aura for them to be attracted to you, perhaps?

Kibum:             Mr. Taeyang, get real!

Taeyang:         I am only pointing out what seems to be pretty obvious.

Kibum:             I understand that but I guess we can prevent it, right? We should think of a way to prevent this from
                        continuously happening – people might get hurt, you know. I don’t want this getting out of hand.

Taeyang:         I understand – we will. Meanwhile, get ready to go out – the school guards are instructing them to be
                        orderly organized.

Kibum:             (sighs) Okey, I never knew that schooling would be a taxing job and would somehow involve situations
                        such as this.

Taeyang:         This is life, Bummie – deal with it.

Kibum:             I guess so, okay. (Who is now checking by the window if the coast is clear)... Let’s go out now.

Taeyang:         Yes Bummie

 Taeyang orders the driver to open the door for them – him coming out first and followed by Kibum… The now-calmer crowd screams giving Kibum greeting which the latter offering thanks in return. There are few determined students giving him gifts which he quickly thought of declining first-hand but stop the idea realizing the effort and time spent in preparing them – he accepts.

Walking from the gate to the middle of the road Taeyang and Kibum putting aside the obvious screams; could hear students and people remarks about him. He pulls Taeyang tux hem confirming awareness of what he is hearing and the situation.

“Kkkibuummm, I love you!!”

“Oh my god, he is so pretty”

 “Oh, I wish he will be my boyfriend”

“He is so beautiful”

Meanwhile at the school's flag pole is a person not even bothering to care for the dear so-called life, when able to discover a favorable of Kibum’s view; stops himself and readies for a –

“KKKIIIMMM KKKIIBBBUMM!!”
