Continuation...............................................last page for now.......................

With just a simple greeting, Jessica and Heechul both run towards Kibum locking the latter into their loving arms with so much love overflowing and the so long ago achings and longings have instantly washed away – both cried in happiness…

“Sweetie Kibummie…my goodness…
we miss you so much…
everyday I pray for a spark of hope wishing that one day…
you could remember your Dad and me…”
Says Jessica…

“Son… we are extremely happy…
 thank you…it has been a long painful journey
but now that you are coming back…regardless slow…
 we don’t mind the more days of waiting…
we are already happy for this moment…”
Follows Heechul…

“I am so sorry Mom and Dad for whatever pain
I might have caused you along the way…
things are not yet back hundred percent but
we are going to reach there…
so be patient and I apologize in advance…”

Jessica:           (smiling) No need to worry…
                        we are already fine like this…
                        things are going back to normal slowly but surely…

                        (gasps) Oh…

Meanwhile still outside the door, hearing the discussion going on between the immediate families; Sooyoung and Leeteuk look at each other wondering if somehow Kibum would recognize them…

Sooyoung:       (looking at Leeteuk) Darling…what do you think…?
                        Will Kibummie remember us…?
                        I am so nervous…honestly…
 

Leeteuk:          (holds Sooyoung’s hand) I think so…
                        I am quite positive about it…
                        It’s our son, Minho is doing his best
                        so he can bring his beloved one back… come let’s go…

Sooyoung:       (stops Leeteuk) Teukkie we have to wait for them to call us in…
                        you know…

Leeteuk:          (smiles and nods) alright dear but you have to relax…
                        you are way tensed…

Sooyoung:       (slaps Leeteuk’s hand) hhhmmpp… fine….

After a while, the couple hears Jessica’s voice…

“Oh… Bummie… your Aunt Sooyoung
 and Uncle Teeukie are here as well…?”

“Please come in… I am alright…!”
says Kibum…

At this the couple exhales loudly and both of their congested chests flattens smoothly glacing at each other smiling carelessly and then Sooyoung holds Leeteuk’s hand and signals for them to enter….

“Kibummie… remember us…?”

Kibum:             (smiles) Of course… Auntie…Uncle…

                        (raises his right hand – makes a stop sigh)
                        Wait…hold on…let me call… Minnie…Minnie….
                        Auntie and Uncle are here…

                        (walks towards the couple and hug both of them)
                        Good to see you again… It has been awhile…
                        I many not be all too well yet…
                        but I am very thankful for Minnie’s help…
                        He has been very patient and accommodating…
 

Sooyoung:       (shocked and cries) Kibummie….
                        We miss you so much…

                        (holds Kibum’s face) and darn it…
                        you are still as gorgeous and so beautiful as ever….
 

Leeteuk:          Kibummie… Kibummie….Kibummie…

Sooyoung:       (pats Leeteuk shoulder) Dear… is that all you can say…
                        his name…? aaiisshh…

Kibum:             (laughing) Yes… Uncle…?

Leeteuk:          (stops and looks at Kibum) I miss you a lot son…

Kibum:             (chuckling and hugs Leeteuk back) I miss you too Uncle…

                        (looks at the couple) Thank you for deciding to work with Mom and Dad…
                        I have not expressed my thanks yet…
                        from the bottomof my heart…
                        I apologize for the inconvenience I have made…

                       (looks around) wait… hold on… Minnie…come out now…
 

Jessica:           (gasps) Oh yeah… Minnie… where are you…?

At this moment, Minho shows himself walks towards them smiling widely… but looks at JP Owen first and foremost…

“Good evening, Mr. Owen…
It is an honor to finally meet you…
I have heard a lot about you from Bummie
when we were kids and from the moment
he told me about how brilliant and kind hearted you are;
I have always been dreaming of meeting
the great JP Owen of the previous JPK Enterprise…”
 

JP Owen:        (smiles) Thank you very much Minho…
                       I hope everything is alright with you and your family…

Minho:             (chest tightens in happiness)We are just fine Mr. Owen …
                        the twins are just so fine…
                        they are so brilliant at a very young age…

JP Owen:        (smiles and nods) Interesting….hhmmm…
                       and I am looking forward to seeing them tomorrow…
                       right…?

Minho:             (nods repeatedly) Yes… Mr. Owen…
                        they would like to visit to see me work… I suppose…

JP Owen:        (beams) Now it is my turn to say that
                       I have heard how wonderful of a parent
                       you are to the twins…
                       what are their names…

Minho:             (happily responds) Eldest of the twin is
                        Minnie Margret Natalie Sofia Antoinette and the next is
                        Kibummie Philip Richard Henry…
                        in short; Minnie and Kibummie…

JP Owen:        Philip and Antoinette….hhhmmm… sounds familiar…

Minho snowed under with excitement beams widely unsuspecting and unsuspicious of how perceptive JP Owen’s almost condensing statement so that JP Owen smiles meaningfullyl and gathers his hand on his chin then bends his face a bit downward.  However comes back from being attentive to Minho when the latter speaks…

“Names provided by their mother while I requested adding Korean names… “

“It is agood thing that you have added Korean
names making it more soothing to the ears…”
Says JP Owen wearing a meaningful smile…
