The Expected Visitors
Morning Time…

Minho’s morning is suddenly awakened by the sound of his mobile phone ringing – waking up groggily searching for his phone checks the caller ID. The used to be fuzzy and groggy face - in a snap of a finger changes into a more pleasant and sweetest smile, presses the answer icon on his mobile then says…

“Hi…good morning Bummie…it is so unyou…what’s up…”

“Good morning sweetie…
sorry to bother you but I need to get you
prepared for today’s visit by Natalie’s parents.
I am told by Mr. Taeyang that they have already arrived
late last night and called him immediately just to let him know.”

Minho:             (kisses the screen searching for Kibum’s lips –
                       smiles and expands the screen and then kisses it)
                       hhhmm… thank you...Bummie…
                       you are the sweetest person in the whole wide world…

Kibum:             (chuckles) Aaasshh Minnie…
                       are we high on sugar early in the morning
                       and where the heck is your face…?

Minho:             (gasps and distance his face from his mobile)
                       Oh… sorry….

                        (trying quickly to remember what his beloved just told him)
                        Oh… so they've arrived…good then…

                        (then takes a deep breath) I am not worried at all
                        because I know everything is in order…
                        I believe they are managing their arrival pretty well…

Kibum:             (pauses for a bit and inhales loudly) Minnie…
                        I would like to meet Mr. and Mrs. Batista…

Minho:             (surprised) oh…that is a fine idea…but why…
                       if you don’t mind…

Kibum:             Cause it is just the right thing to do….

Minho:             (seriously looking at Kibum on the screen)
                        O…okay…
                        so that means, you will be coming to our house…?

Kibum:             (smiles) Why not…? Let me see if my time allows...
                        I will let you know otherwise...I will meet them somewhere...

Minho:             (feels elated) Well… I never expected of you to come
                        but I am actually very happy…especially the kids…

Kibum:             (nods) Yeah…I just thought about it a while ago…
                        (then looks at Minho) Minnie…sweetie...?

Minho:             (arcs his eyebrows) Yeah…?

Kibum:             (pouts) sorry but I have to go now…

Minho:             (feels suddenly sad) hhhmm…  So short…
                       but it is fine…call me back…

Kibum:             (chuckles) Of course… I will…see you sweetie…
                        I love you and the kids….
                        Minnie and Kibummie, please say Hi for me…will you…?

Minho:             (nods) Love you more….of course… I do…as always…

Minho waits for Kibum to cut the line first then after rushes to check on the kids – coming near to the kids’ room, he could hear them chatting – intrigue and curious; he tiptoes quietly towards the door which he presumes the kids got up early and looked for something or managed themselves for their morning milk intake. Just thinking about how his kids are so independent makes him so proud of himself for accomplishing something good for the kids.

And thus, snapping out from his own daydreaming session; he presses his face on the door and in a full mission of listening to the kids’ conversation – shrugs off his shoulder dismissing the thought that it is bad eavesdropping – and thus, his silly undertaking begins…

“Minnie… please help me cho chalk like you…”

“Sure Kimmie…I will…
(looks intently at Kibummie) Kimmie…
every morning starting tomorrow…
say to me loudly the words I will write especially
the words I still can hear our baby accent…”

“Minnie…how come you don’t hafe anymore baby accshent…?”

“I always practice… I guess…”

“(amazed) Oh… you are sho good….
Minnie…very very shmart”

“(shakes her head and hugs Kibummie)
We both are Kimmie… you too…
and your so… not sho…
(releases the hug and cups Kibummie’s face)
Ok…follow after me…Kimmie…”

Kibummie:       (nods) Okay….

Minnie:            (open her lips showing her clenched teeth
                        and produces the sound) sssss…..ssssss….ssssss…..

Kibummie:       (follows his twin sister) ssss…ssss…..ssss…

Minnie:            Then ssssss….
                        (then a bit swiftly forms her lips into circle along
                        with the unclenching of her teeth)
                        ssssooooooo……

                        (repeats the procedure) ssss….ssss….ssssoooooo…
                        (smiles) Like that...give it a try...
 

Kibummie:       sssss…sssss….sssssooooo….
                       (smiles) oh…right…? 

Minnie:            so say it again and again…

Kibummie:       (nodding) sss…ss.sssooo…so..so…so..

Minnie:            (smiles) good…

Kibummie:       (nods) Smile… thanks Minnie…

Outside, Minho could not contain his amazement about the cleverness of the twins. He is most thankful that he has Minnie and Kibummie by his side even so if happiness is quite elusive for him right now or a little bit, never completely forget about how thankful he is. Minho in awe and admiration as to how beautiful and remarkable are his children.

After quite sometime of eavesdropping, Minho quietly enters the room without being noticed by the busy talking twins – and thus, he calls their attention…

“Minnie…Kibummie… Good morning…”

The twins immediately turn their heads and both offer a dreamlike smile to him – and thus, Minho smiles back feeling contented regardless happiness is giving him a different road to seek continuously of it.

“Good morning Umma…”
Both the twins reply back…

Minho:             (coming closer) Kids…
                       are you ready for todays Mommy Natalie parents’ visit…?

Minnie:            (jumps happily) Yes… Umma… I am…very excited…

Kibummie:       (claps his hands) Me too… I am so happy…

Minnie:            (suddenly looks at Kibummie then smiles)
                        nice one Kimmie…

Kibummie:       (beams widely) I love you Minnie…

Minho:             (wondering but suddenly realizes what they were trying to talk about)
                        Okay kids get ready they will be here in a minute
                        and we will all have a grand time today…

Minnie:            (cups Minho’s face) Will Uncle and Auntie  join us…?

Minho:             (nods) They will…
                        In fact, I think they are preparing your things now…

Kibummie:       (softly) Umma…?

Minho:             (looks at Kibummie) Yes… Kimmie…?

Kibummie:       How about Appa…?

Minho:             (gently says) Kimmie…
                        Appa initially said Yes however…
                        He is a very busy person so probably can not…

Minnie:            (follows up) But will Appa meet our Papa and Mama …?

Minho:             (nods) Yes… Appa if can not able to here, he might meet them separately…

Minnie:            (smiles) Ooohh… nice…..

Kibummie:       Itch is alright we underschand…

Minho:             (changes the mood to a happy one) Come on…
