Suddenly they hear dash of footsteps coming nearer and nearer that both of them turn around to check who it could be. They are both taken by surprise when they see Kibum panting heavily waving his hand at them as if signaling for them to wait for him.

“Auntie… You-noona…hah…hah…hah…
(pauses to take a deep breath)
How…is….Minho…Minnie….Kibummie…?
Are…they…”
 

“Kibummie….relax…stay put…
take a deep breath alright…?”
Says Tiffany and hugs Kibum…
 

Kibum:             (blows air) I am sorry Auntie…
                        how’s Minho and the kids…?

Tiffany:            (smiles) Calm down first…and if you are stable…
                        Yuri and I will lead you there…
 

Kibum rests his head on Tiffany’s shoulder for solace, calms himself down and when he is sure of his condition, he lifts his face to look at both of them and says…

Kibum:             Auntie…?

Tiffany:            (smiles) He is now alright and the kids are sleeping beside him.
                        What I mean is, the kids are just sleeping…

Kibum:             (hugs Tiffany) Oh…Thank you so much…
                        Can we see them now…?

                        (glances at Yuri) You-noona, are you alright…?

Yuri:                 (smiles) I am alright Kibum-ssi…
                        don’t worry about me and the babies…
                        they are kicking good…

On their way to Minho’s location, Tiffany looks at Kibum and asks…

Tiffany:            Kibummie…?

Kibum:             Yes… Auntie…?

Tiffany:            I will talk to you about Minho’s condition after you have
                        seen him. 
                        Is that alright…?

Kibum:             (nods) Yes… Auntie…

As they reach Minho’s place, Kibum suddenly stops, making Tiffany and Yuri surprised but quickly understand what is going on with him – both of them quietly leaving Kibum to give him enough space to go through with his emotions and thus, both head towards where Taeyang and Jonghyun’s location is. Then after as they reach, as if in cue, all their focus is now centered to Kibum’s actions.

Yuri who is so worried over the situation, nudges at Jonghyun and whispers…

“Jonggie…Is Kibum-ssi alright…
why is he not moving…?”
 

“I thinks so…he is alright…
He is not moving due to shock…
you know…how you would feel losing
another someone you dearly love or even
worse case scenario losing all that mean so
much to you…

It happened before with Natalie that almost
caused his life…so you see…
I am assuming he is battling with hisself
emotionally…”
 

Then suddenly, Tiffany interrupts…

“Mr. Taeyang let us give Kibummie space
for a moment…
(looks at Yuri and Jonghyun)
Jonggie and Yuri come let’s go to the other
area…”
 

“Okay…Dr. Tiffany…
(looks at Yuri and Jonghyun)
 Jonghyun… Yuri… come…”

The couple nods and follows Tiffany and Taeyang.

Kibum at this moment unaware that he is currently alone watches Minho’s body lying on the bed and with their kids despite both looking peaceful and just sleeping; he is locked in his position, unable to make a move and all at the same time, these various emotions are starting to flood his entire being. His mind suddenly weakens making his heart beats crazily faster and almost to a point where his body might just lose its sound standing. It is as if the memories come rushing back from nearly two years ago after receiving the news of Natalie’s death.
 

He remembers his mind and body shutting down and allowing his emotions to overflow which caused for him to lose his control and for that twisted fate - led him to being locked in a coma and erasing his entire memory of his previous lives. As he remembers this, his body shudders in fear and witnessing the same case happening again despite not being informed of Minho’s condition; these feelings he is under right now are basically the same as how he felt two years ago.
 

Kibum recognizing his weakness – while going on, he allows himself to experience this internal battle and thus, to help him release these anxieties; he would take enormous huge heavy deep breaths – spending much of his time in both being in a good or completely bad worlds. The good one is seeing Minho still breathing, as if assured he will be alright; the other is simply bad that is, in any minute something bad might happen which will lead for the other to be in a very serious condition.
 

Kibum shakes his head trying his best to wake up in his own inebriated sort of dream – firmly closes his eyes and gathers enough strength release the negative vibes that is almost overpowering him. He gently opens his eyes and utters a silent prayer…

“Dear Lord, give me strength just to make
one step and I will be fine…”
 

After uttering those words, as if a sudden bolt of electricity fired his body up making his right foot to raise and step forward and at this, Kibum in total amazement and shock thinks…

“Thank you… we will be fine…
thank you Natalie… I know you are here...”
 

Kibum looks at his right foot and smiles, moves his left foot and sighs in relief – gathering enough courage and strength; he takes a huge deep breath and starts to walk in direction between the two beds. He sits on the elevated chair – sitting on it, the height is just enough for him to maneuver easily for the two beds. Seated calmly he then checks on Minnie and Kibummie sleeping faces and says…

“Minnie…Kibummie…sweeties…
I am so sorry… please forgive Appa…
and thank you very much for being so
wonderful all the time…”
 

After saying those words, he kisses Minnie and Kibummie and then finally turns his head to face Minho and then gently he lays his face on Minho’s chest wherein his face just below’s Minho chin – placing his left hand on Minho’s face and it gently and lovingly tears instantly fall down on his cheeks…

“Minnie…please be okay…
I love you so much…”
 

With those lost five words, Kibum takes a deep breath and unknowingly falls asleep on on a seated position with his head on Minho’s chest.
