Continuation..........................................5th page....yap......so we move on..................................

Then Kibum turns his back on Minho so the latter won’t hear his muffled cries - in silence, he weeps.

Little does he know that Minho has suddenly awakened from asleep due to Kibum’s sudden movement worried over Kibum’s condition just like awhile ago – respecting his state of mind, he did not bother asking what was wrong with him up to the time they were about to sleep.

And now hearing what Kibum has stated, it hurts – so that his chest is expanding, congesting due to heavier and huge intakes of air. But instead of dwelling himself into being hurt of what he just heard; keeps an open mind to understand Kibum’s situation. He is aware how Kibum equally loves Taemin up to now that regardless how the latter had betrayed and kept him away from knowing the truth; Kibum has never condemned Taemin nor be disgusted of the latter and thus just the same, still loves Taemin whose fault is mainly because he deeply loves Kibum and has never betrayed the latter unlike him.

And the mistake he had committed while Kibum and he were apart somehow created a huge gap creating a big opportunity for Taemin to take his once in a lifetime chance of fulfilling his ultimate wish. And admittedly he thinks that Taemin has been very faithful with his feelings, the endlessly loving Kibum thereby between him and the other, he knows how Taemin put him in a distance as regards gauging the depthness of loving Kibum.

And this is the reason why, no matter what he just heard badly hurt him so much; Minho needs to accept as well as understands the situation. He loves Kibum so much and  their current situations are still fragile at the moment regardless how strong Kibum seems to appear, deep inside as how Minho mirrors Kibum’s heart, he knows just how much the latter is hurting so badly as well. And thus, he could not blame Taemin, Kibum or anyone for that matter.

Minho’s chest tightens further hearing Kibum muffled cries – tears of sadness for Taemin. Biting his lips he is deciding on whether to approach Kibum or just let him be in this moment - alone to release his sadness and sorrows as a result of finally deciding to start the preparation of letting Taemin go.

Hearing Kibum still crying in silence, he too has finally realized that this is not the time to act selfish and chldish, he has to understand Kibum’s situation and as a result, decides to help the latter ease the pain by turning his body facing Kibum’s back and says…

“Bummie… cry as freely as you want…
I am just here….

And at the same time, Minho extends his left hand to embrace Kibum while his right hand lovingly the other’s hair.

“I love you Bummie…
I know how hard it is for you to let Taemin go…
I understand how you love him too…I do…
so it is okay…Bummie… just let it out…
I love you so much more than my life…”

As he continues comforting Kibum to pacify the latter, his mind at the same time sends him off somewhere that he does not realize how his physical state is turning out to be – as it is now unintentionally starts to tremble and his eyes are on the brim of tears so that he too as well, is unconcsciously crying along with his body trembling – just so timely that Kibum is much on a deeper weighty situation than him.

Coming back to his own sense is when Minho instinctively chokes on his own sudden intake of breath that he immediately wipes his tears and swiftly but gently pulls a pillow, moves a little bit backward just enough space to put the pillow in the space he has provided between their bodies.

Disregarding his current state, Minho maintains his position of giving warm feeling of embrace and caress for the other so that as he embraces Kibum deeply he could feel the latter’s body shaking and hear the loud thumps of the other’s heart pounding loudly in his chest. Discovering Kibum’s emotions, Minho somehow no matter how he prevents his self from feeling a bit green with envy – he could not stop it.

Just a slight minute time of a minute, he suddenly feels envious as to how Taemin managed to take a large spot in Kibum’s heart that his own physical and emotional self reacted instantly from the moment it happened up to now that is so apparent that his free hand above Kibum’s head clenches mechanically.  Minho kind of sighs admitting to defeat, let it go - however on a controllable manner, noiselessly cries as well – be in this moment with Kibum until they both unwillingly drift away to sleep.

The Following Morning…Fourth Day
Still with Taemin and Onew…
Condo Place…

Today, morning has broken so beautiful for Taemin that waking up viewing it somehow feels so refreshing and light for him – makes him happy unlike the previous ones. He straightens himself up with a wonderful aura radiating out of his body; checks on Onew and smiles seeing the latter still sleeping soundly; gets out of the bed feeling energized heads toward the bathroom to take a shower.

When done, checks on Onew again to see if the latter has already awakened, astounded to find out – asleep yet again so that, it suddenly enters his mind that, Onew is somewhat like Kibum – heavy sleeper. He quickly dresses up and proceeds to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. He is quite thankful that it is his day-off today and tomorrow and suddenly thinks that Onew’s day-off might be different than him – decides to wake him up however few steps from Onew’s location, changes his mind and proceeds heading back to the kitchen to prepare the food for breakfast.

While cooking he suddenly remembers about what Kibum had told him saying to himself…

“We are supposed to have a meeting today…
Is it going to happen this afternoon
or night time and where is the meeting going to be…?
Hhmm…
I will just call Minho hyung or Key…
oohh… I know he is pretty busy right now…
I guess it is wise to call Minho hyung instead…”

Just one more recipe to cook and so indulge with what he is doing, he suddenly twitches in surprise when caressing hands come moving at a snail's pace around his waist causing tickles all over his body…

“Good morning Onee…
did you have a good sleep…?”

“(nods) Yeah… I did…
(hugs Taemin) hhhmm…
my nose suddenly has a life of its own forcing me
to get up and follow the source of its stirring dilemma…”

Taemin laughs at Onew’s silly gag, then seriously continues to finish his cooking then after like minutes in a stationary position gasps upon realizing that Onew has been backhugging him all this time with the latter’s head on his shoulders.  Fortunately, it his last recipe to cook otherwise, he could have whip him with his utensil.

“hhhmm… Onee…
I feel like a mother gorilla with her
humungous son lying on her back
while waiting for food….”

Onew does not respond but just takes a deep breath releasing a sound like that of a purring cat matching  it with a tender further pull hug as he exhales. Taemin chuckles at Onew’s cute demeanor as he has never seen this side of him, thinking…

***Ooohhh… so …
he is such a cute sweet softie rabbit…****

As a result, Taemin does not have a heart to frustrate or go against with what the other likes; gathers a bit of a force to drag his body to move towards the small kitchen table and he kind of sighs in relief deciding having their breakfast inside the kitchen mini-table. So luckily enough with his slow drag movement, he successfully manages to prepare their breakfast and now set for the eating; he gently turns his head to face Onew then gasps to find out the latter has fallen asleep –on a toned down volume, he says…

“Is this how comfortable he can be…
 sleeping on my shoulders…?”
