Continuation.....

Surprising all of them at Kibum’s reply – Taeyang who watches, smiles secretly – pleased as to Kibum’s easiness with Minho’s family.

Sooyoung:       (stuttering) A-a-are you sure, we can do so…

Leeteuk:          (dazed) Yeah, Bummie – you are our guest…

 Kibum:             I insist – Is Italian cuisine fine with you all?

 Minho:             Oh, we love Italian cuisine… but we don’t know if we have the ingredients ready?

 Kibum:             Oh don’t worry – I brought them…

 Sooyoung:       (amazed at Kibum’s cleverness) oohhhh…

 Taemin:           (hides his face at Kibum’s chest) I want Bulgogi…

Leeteuk, Sooyoung and Minho all at the same time – yell…

TAEMINNIE!!

Taemin:           (still face hidden… simply replies) so what!!

 Kibum:             Sure Baby Taemin – (while striking his hair) your wish is my command… So Auntie,
                         Uncle and Minnie – shall we? Mr. Taeyang, are you ok? Kindly bring all the ingredients
                         needed for tonight’s dinner!

 Minho:             Oh, I will help… (goes to Taeyang for help)

 Taeyang:         yes Sir Kibum…

 Minho:             Mr. Taeyang – can Kibum cook? It is amazing…

 Taeyang:         (smiling) Oh yes – you will be surprised…of what he can do…

 Minho:             Wow – you are so lucky to experience and witness what Kibum does – he is so
                         incredible… I wish I can be with him… yeah, I want to be with him forever…

 Taeyang:         (chuckling at Minho’s statement) Sir Minho, I remember you saying that since you were
                         little…

 Minho:             (embarrassed) hey, Mr. Taeyang – this is our secret, ok?

 Taeyang:         Sure sir Minho…

 Minho:             oh…stop with the formality – Minho is fine… let’s go!

Kibum finishes with his cooking, asks permission from Sooyoung to let the helpers prepare the table for the dinner…

Kibum:             Aunt Sooyoung… may I ask for your helpers to help me ready the food at the dining
                        area…

Sooyoung:       (still in daze) oh let us do that (calls out on Minho and Taemin) Minnie, Taemin, Honey –
                        offer help will you?

 Leeteuk, Minho and Taemin all at same time responds…

“Coming…”

All of them are now seated at the dining table except for Kibum and Taeyang – bringing the cooked food covered in service plates…. When done, Kibum with the help of Taeyang open all of the covered service plates – surprising everyone as to hoe temptingly delicious they look and very well presented…

Sooyoung:       Whooaaa…. Bummie these are so good, mind telling us…

 Kibum:             hhmmm… let’s see:

                        For the appetizer, I prepared Beef Carpaccio and Baked Cherry Tomatoes with Parmesan 
                        Toppings…

                        For the main course; we have Monkfish with Bacon and Spinach Sauce, Zucchini in Batter,
                       Chicken and Mushroom Risotto, Penne with spinach-gorgonzola-walnuts, of course
                       Taemin’s request Bulgogi and plain white rice… and drinks either wine or softdrink – your
                       choice…

                        For Dessert; simple Strawberry Ice Cream…

                        Good for 15 serving… Are these ok?

All of them look at each other in full astonishment – staring at Kibum – who is blushing furiously of embarrassment except for Taeyang who is secretly snickering in amazement watching the scenario.

Sooyoung:       (looks at Leeteuk who is just beside her – pinches him under the table) hhmmm…

Leeteuk:          (screams in pain) aaawwww!!

Minho:             (startled by his father’s yell) Dad, are you ok?

 Leeteuk:          (rubbing his thigh) oh… I am fine… (faces Kibum) Son, I don’t know how you managed
                          but these are really fine food…

Kibum:             (bows and smiles) thank you… so Bon-a-petit…everyone… hmmm is it alright if I ask Mr.
                        Taeyang to join us…

 Leeteuk:          oh yeah, sure – by the way Mr. Taeyang – you’ve met Mr. Kikwang right? (calls Kikwang)
                        Kikwang – oh why not call everyone…

 So the dinner becomes a mini-party when Leeteuk invited the whole household to join them for the dinner… While eating, Sooyoung can not resist the urge to comment…

Sooyoung:       Gosh Bummie these taste all so good… You are so good…

 Leeteuk:          Yeah…Bummie you are a great cook… Did you study how to cook?

Sooyoung:       Did you know Bummie that your mother can not cook? Do they know that you can cook?

 Kibum:             Yes Uncle Leeteuk, in my spare time – I cook with Mr. Taeyang as the taster (smiles) –
                         Auntie, Mom – yeah I know she can’t cook. Hmmm I think they don’t know…

 Minho:             Oh what a waste… and so then – I guess we are all lucky to taste your cooking?

 Kibum:             (laughing manner replies) ha ha ha I guess so…
