Chapter 14         Celebration Time…

                           School’s Festival…

Point in time:      Spring Time

 Location:            School and School’s Greenhouse

 The day of school festival…

 At Choi’s Mansion; “Why do I have these feelings that things are going to be a start of struggles just to get Kibum’s full attention, darn it, it should not supposed to be this way..hmm”.

Taemin:           Minho-hyung I want to share an important information to you?

Minho:             What is that?

 Taemin:           Did you know that the organizers of the said play have a thingy for Key-hyung that they even made a
                         deal that whoever wins the rock-paper-scissors game would get the princess role?

 Minho:             (surprised and annoyed) really? I know Bummie has a lot of admirers’ girls and boys.

 Taemin:           I bet they decided on having to choose sleeping beauty for the event just to get a kiss from Key-hyung.

 Minho:             (becomes more irritated) Well, let’s see about that…

 Taemin:           (surprised by Minho’s suspicious actions) oh…so my dear brother has something in his calculating mind
                         going on ha? Ha!! I have one too…you know – you might wanna share!

 Minho:             (raises his left eye towards Taemin in suspicion) and what’s that supposed to mean?

 Taemin:           (smirk) Oh, come on now you are little years older than me – but I can think much equally in your level –
                         Minho hyung – he he he…

 Minho:             (agitated over Taemin’s cockiness) Oh my Taemin – get a hold of your smart-aleck-ness. Just so you 
                         know; Key has been my friend since when we were little and you were that time was just a toddler. To be
                         honest, because of his lifestyle – that I do not know – we never really spend some quality playtime
                         together. Call it a of luck if I'd be able to find time to spend with Key coz he wasn’t usually around.

 Taemin:           (pretty observant) and so for that matter – what is the point you are getting at?

 Minho:             (stresses his sigh – breathing deeply) ok – Taemin, look. I don’t like these girls taking my time with
                         Kibum. That is all.

 Taemin:           (nods) Yap, I agree with you – but if it is the “Me” who will take out your time with him – that is alright,
                          right? I am your dear brother – you see… (grinning widely)

 Minho:             (scrunches his face looking at Taemin) what?!

 Taemin:           (smiles heavenly) Oh, didn’t I tell you? Wait – I like Key-hyung too… a lot actually. I don’t know… I love 
                         you too my brother but Key-hyung is a gentle person and so peaceful to be with, don’t you think so, 
                         hyung?

 Minho:             (shocked by what Taemin has said but rather chose to ignore his brother’s adoring praises over Kibum)
                         errr… so what plan do you have in mind? Care telling me?

 Taemin:           (smiles wickedly) he-he I am going to steal the role of the Princess…

 Minho:             (gasps) Taemin, are you crazy?

 Taemin:           (looks at Minho with a disdain look) bwah… hmmm (looks dreamy) I don’t think so…

 Minho:             (thinks and says to himself) “I think I found myself a rival”… Taemin, what are you going to do?

 Taemin:           (looks back at Minho) Hyung just watch!! Here I am giving you one of my steps – join the activity club –
                         coz I will – so you know what is going on! Ok?!

 Minho:             (shaking his head – saying to himself again) “Oh, he is good” hhmmm… that is not a bad idea…

Meanwhile over at the Kibum’s manor…

Kibum is reading the script for tonight’s event and find himself amused of why he has managed agreeing into participating – if given a choice, he would rather prefer to be behind the limelight. He signs and ignores his inner self mild hesitation and goes back to reading the script when he hears knocks on his door…

Kibum:             (instantly calls as he knows who the person is) come in Mr. Taeyang…

Taeyang:         Kibum, is there something I can help you with?

Kibum:             (smiles at Taeyang) oh, nothing – just one favor though…

Taeyang:         what is it then, Kibum?

                         Kibum:             I will be participating in this school play tonight and I want you and Ms. Joonie to accompany me with.
                                                 Please do not let my parents know about this, ok? I know for sure that they would like to come watch me
                                                 perform but I am afraid of how the things would turn out eventually – I think you know what I mean… oh,
                                                 especially Papa – Oh, Mr. Taeyang spare me just this time – I know your solely loyalty for him – do not let
                                                 him know as well, please…

 Taeyang:         (chuckling) yes Kibum (imagining Kibum’s parents as well as his outrageously flamboyant grandfather – 
                         attending the event would create a spectacular grand dramatic show in itself)… I know… but if you
                         please allow me…

 Kibum:             (with a questioning face looks at Taeyang) what is it Mr. Taeyang?

                         Taeyang:         (hesitating utters) hhmmm… I would like to record your play – if it is alright?

Kibum:             (obliviously agrees) oh – it is alright, Mr. Taeyang… I see no harm in that!

Taeyang:         (smiles back at Kibum) Thanks Kibum…

Six hours before the play – in the school,

Seohyun:         Hey Hyoyeon! Is your group finishing with the whole stage backdrop jobs…?

 Hyoyeon:        (worrying) Seo, honestly we need more people to help us out with – I should have known that this is going
                         to be hard, I could have hired people to arrange everything and not having to suffer this whole
                         preparation ordeal…

 Seohyun:         (chuckling) Hyo… oh, yeah care tell me who chose this activity?

 Hyoyeon:        (annoyed looks at Seohyun) yeah yeah, I know…phewww … I wish there would be some who'll be willing
                         to help us – we are pretty undermanned here.

“Do you need help?”

“We are willing!”
