Continuation..................................................thoughts running in my head like a new emotion................

Minho walks towards the corner table where his mobile is located while the rests including Kibum are anxiously anticipating for the other line to answer then in just a second,  Jessica speaks…

“Minnie… put it on speaker phone…
 please, we want to hear the kids’ voices…”

“(smiling while nodding) Sure Auntie…”

Minho presses the one-touch speed dial key and hopes that Jonghyun and Yuri are already fully awake then suddenly his face lits up when Jonghyun answers on the other line…

“Hyung… Good morning!
sorry to bother you early this morning…
Is Yuri awake…? Oh… good then…
everyone is here Auntie Jessica,
Uncle Heechul, Mom and Dad…
I will put this on speaker phone coz they all want to listen to the kids talk …
(smiles) of course you too…”
 

However before Minho could continue, JP Owen enters the room to join in saying…

“Good morning…everyone…
count me in…

(walks towards where Kibum is and sits besides him)
Good morning Kibummie…
How’s your morning…?
(looks at Minho) Good morning Minho…”

Kibum:             (smiles) Good morning Papa… don’t worry about me…
                        but I do also hope you slept well last night…

JP Owen:        (nods) Of course… son… I did and right now,
                       I am so ecstaticly happy…

Minho:             (bows and puts Jonghyun on the line and waits)
                        Good morning Mr. Owen…

JP Owen:        (nods) Good morning too…
                       (waves his hand) Go on proceed with your conversation…
                       I am fine here…

And thus, everyone including Kibum and JP Owens awaits for the Minho and Jonghyun’s side conversation…

“Hyung…  where’s Yuri…?”

Jonghyun:       She is here beside me…
                        fully awake waiting for your instructions…
                        Good morning everyone…..

“Good morning… Jonggie…”

Minho:             Hyung, are the kids awake..?

Jonghyun:       I think so… I will let Yuri check on the kids…
                       if they are; I will ask them to come with Yuri…

Sooyoung:       (voice excited) Go…Jonggie… Yuri, kindly…

Yuri:                 Good morning everyone… alright…
                        Jonggie… you wait here while I go get the kids…
                        I am sure they are awake…
                        cause they have been talking about the visit at their Umma’s office…

Jessica:           (looks at Sooyoung and Leeteuk) Eonnie…?
                        Umma… Minnie…? You are Umma…?

Minho:             (nods embarrassingly) Yes, auntie…

JP Owen:        (smiles) I wonder who the Appa is…
                       if you are the Umma…?

Kibum keeps quiet but he speculates that his grandfather might already have the idea knowing how noticeably investigative the other’s nature is. He glances at his grandfather and intensely observes the latter’s behavior who gazes back at him smiling calculatingly – at this; Kibum confirms his own speculation that his grandfather has discovered his secret however maintains a calm disposition.

He quietly sits at bed’s edge and waits for the next events that will happen… his moment of self-examination ceases when Minho speaks…

Minho:             (on an excited tone) Hyung, I can hear the kids giggly laughs…
                        good  they are fully awake now…
                        Hyung… be sure they take their morning milk…

Jonghyun:       (chuckles) Of course… Minho…

Then Yuri enters together with the jumpy excited kids gleefully shouting calling Jonghyun…

“Ankle…ankle… aunchie…
said you are on the phone with Umma…?”
asks Kibummie…

Jonghyun:       Yes… I am… and don’t forget your morning milk…
                        Umma is requesting you drink your milk…

Minnie:            (nods) Good morning Umma… I love you…

Minho:             I love you too Minnie… good morning Kibummie…
                       you have not greeted me yet…?

Kibummie:       (soft voice) shorry Umma… I forgot…
                        I was just excited to hear your voice on the fone…

Minho:             (chuckles) It is alright Kibummie…
                       don’t forget to drink your milk… Go on… you two…
                       get your milk…you know how to get it…Inside the fridge…

Jonghyun:       Okay… go now…

Minnie:            Yes… ankle…we will…

                       (grabs Kibummie’s hand and said)
                       Kibummie, let’s get a glass of milk…
 

Kibummie:       (nods) Okay… good morning Umma…I laf you…

Minho:             (smiles) love you too…

Yuri:                 (stops the two) No…no… stay here…
                        we will ask Ms. Luna to get milk for the both of you…okay…?

                        (calls Jonghyun’s attention) Jonggie… stay here…
                        I will go get their milk… so they can talk to Minnie…

Jonghyun:       (nods) Thanks Yu…

                       (calls the kids) kids…Minnie… Kibummie…
                       come closer…Umma is on the phone….

Meanwhile, Kibum and Minhos’ parents happily listen to the whole interaction that they could not stop themselves but to giggle and laugh softly. And thus, Jessica looks at Sooyoung and whispers to the latter…

Jessica:           (pouting) Eonnie… I envy you so much…
                        you and Teukkie are so lucky to have grandkids…
                        they are so lovely and beautiful…

Sooyoung:       (smiles) Jessie… they are our kids…

                        (taps Jessica’s hand) but you know what…
                        I am really so excited to meet them.
                        I don’t know why but I have a feeling
                        that we will all be surprised when we see them.
 

Heechul:          (butts in and looks Kibum) Honey…
                        I wish Kibum will have kids too like Minho…
                        that would be so nice, don’t you think…?

Jessica:           (nods and embraces Heechul’s left arm) Honey….hhhmmm…
                        I do hope so…

                        (calls Kibum) sweetie…sweetie….
 

Kibum:             (looks at Jessica) Yes… Mom…?

Jessica:           (waves her hand) Come please…. I need to talk to you…
