As a result, Kibum’s heart pounds like crazy – has to close his eyes to get a hold of his self while remaining in Minho’s arms for comfort and ease.  Embracing the latter’s warmth hold close; makes him feels safe and secure – Kibum still eyes shut gets surprised when Minho releases him and lays his him back on the chair then kisses his forehead and then his lips and thus, he opens his eyes instantly says…

Kibum:             Minnie…

Minho:             (smiles) Bummie… do you feel alright now…
                        you were having a dream

                       (looks at the surrounding) a daydream in fact…
 

Kibum:             (hugs Minho back) Thank you Minnie…

                        (then thinks, “I am starting to see the light…
                        thank you Minnie for the endless love and faith in me…”)
 

Minho:             (puzzled) hhmm… what…? Bummie…?
                        What do you mean…by thank you…

Kibum:             (pokes Minho’s side) hhhmmm… nothing…Minnie…

Minho:             aaaiisshh…. Bummie…

                        (looks at Kibum) Bummie…
                        I informed Mr. Kikwang that we will go to your place
                        this afternoon… alright…
 

Kibum:             Oh… you will come with me and the kids too…right…?

Minho:             (nods) Of course but I prefer that you stay
                        at your place for just one night… I mean…
                        you have not able to visit your house for a very long time
                        you know…

Kibum:             (insisting) Minnie… come will you…?

Minho:             (puts his arms above Kibum’s shoulder
                        and let their foreheads touch)
                        Sweetie… this time, it is your moment…
                        I prefer that you experience it by yourself…okay…?

Kibum:             (escapes his air heavily out of from his nose)
                        hhhmm…
                        Meanie Minnie… I need you…

Minho:             (heart fluttering) hhhmm…
                        so unlikely of you to desperately need me…

Kibum:             aaisshh so mean… please you and the children…
                        let’s go that place together… I am begging…

Minho:             (sighs defeated) Fine… fine…
                        but we will sleep in a separate room
                        and you .... alone in your room… alright…

Kibum:             (looks at Minho then beams cutely) Thank you Sweetie…

Minho:             (melts down) aaaiishh seriously Bummie…
                        aaiiiigggooo… you surprise me…

Kibum:             (puckers lips repeatedly) hhhmm… as if… as if…

Minho:             (mersmerized by Kibum’s behavior) Bummie… enough…
                        those lips of yours are driving me insane…

Kibum:             (pouting – seriously) hhmmphh… what did I do..?
                        (clings unto Minho) Let’s cuggle…cuggle…

Minho:             (jolts hearing their him and Kibum’s own language)
                        Hah! How did you know of that word…

Kibum:             (surprised but shrug it off) I don’t know…
                        somehow I knew the word,
                        but I could not remember where I heard it before….
                        Well, it just came out naturally… why…
                        what’s wrong with that word…?

Minho:             (taken aback) hhhmm… nothing…

As planned, the afternoon has deepened so that, Kibum, Minho and the twins together with Kikwang head for Kibum’s house. On the way, Minho looks thoughtfully on Kibum for a moment – worrying for the latter’s emotions, thinking…

“I am so sorry Bummie, I knew that somehow
this journey of self-rediscovery will weigh you
down emotionally but this is the only way I can help you effectively.

I am at my limits now, I knew that Taemin is going to
tie you down forever with him not knowing
who really you were and I can not accept that.

I will use every possible way I can to get you back
and I know that Natalie is helping me as well…
for the sake not only myself but primarily Minnie,
Kibummie, your entire family and most importantly
the welfare of all that are working for KPK Enterprise…
your enterprise that you have sacrificingly been working all your life…”

Meanwhile out of the corner of Kibum’s eye, he glimpses on Minho’s behavior looking so worried and concerned so that he gently holds the latter’s left hand – squeezes then assuringly says…

“Minnie… don’t worry, I will be alright…
you have been so wonderful, generous and kind thus,
I am deeply grateful from the bottom of my heart…”

Minho exhales in relief then smiles at Kibum – looks at Minnie and Kibummie sleeping on Kibum’s lap snoring cutely – Minho giggles watching how precious his children are; glances quickly at Kibum lovingly watching the twins like his own – obviously laughing at his own illogical notion – turns his face to watch the Kim’s splendid landscape – watching it now, he is still in awe; how well the Kim households’ have been maintaining it perfectly.

After several minutes, they have reached Kibum’s house entrance, again – Minho looks at Kibum facial expression and surprised to see the latter smiles – by design. Minho stifles a little due to astonishment, watches Kibum’s every move discerningly – hypnotized by the latter’s movement; he gladly watches. So into it, never realizes Minnie and Kibummie tagging his shirt calling him…

Minnie:            Umma…Umma…halo…

Kibummie:       Umma…Appa…Minnie…look Appa..walking…

Minho:             (gasps realizing the twins near him)
                       Oh… sorry my dearests…

                       (looks at Kibum inspecting excited eyes) 
                       Yeah… Minnie and Kibummie…
                       soon you will see your Appa you have been waiting for…

Minnie:            (voice with glee) Really… Umma… Appa will come…but…

                       (looks at Kibum) Appa…here…
                       looks layk our real appa… rite, Umma?
 

Kibummie:       (nods fervently)  hu-hum… I agree…

Minho:             (smiling) You think so…?

“YESH…!!”

Kibum suddenly interjects making everyone surprised…

“I am feeling nostalgic…
like I am opening an old book…

(looks at Minho and the kids) such a strange feeling…
but… like everyone says…
embrace whatever comes your way good or bad…”

At the door, as Kibum touches the door to open it – surprised when it opens automatically showing fifty household members bowing at Kibum’s presence – all at the same time saying…

“Welcome home Sir Kim Kibum….
We are very happy to see you again…”

And thus, Kibum gasps after seeing plenty of people welcoming his arrival – in return, he quietly bows and thanks them for the greeting saying….

“Thank you very much everyone for welcoming us…
Please forgive my uncertainty at the moment… Excuse me…”

Being said, all the household helpers move slowly and leave him alone to respect his wish.
