Continuation.........................my last page for today................wanna make it to the seventh page but afraid of the on and off net.......

Then gently raises his body as well so his face comes at the same level with Minho, left hand on Minho’s right ear side his hair downward while his right hand caressing the other’s face. No word comes after calling the latter’s name but just looking at the Minho’s eyes that says it all. 

Meanwhile, Minho does the same, reciprocates Kibum intense yet loving gazes in his own passionate way and offers the sweetest smile imaginable.

Kibum heart melts that he furthers the distance to an inch gap that he could almost feel and hear Minho’s gentle but excited deep slow inhalations. And thus, to pacify the latter’s breathing; he gently kisses Minho while maintaining their eye-contact. He continues to shower Minho kisses while they stare at each others’ eyes and after a minute, he whispers in Minho’s right ear…

“Minnie…I am yours and you are mine…”
 

“Bummie…
(stuttering and choking)…hhhmmpphh…”
 

“Sssshhh….Minnie…hush…don’t cry….
get better fast…okay…?”
 

“Bummie…?”
 

“(smiles at Minho) hhhmm… sweetie…?”
 

“Are we going to be okay…?”
 

“Minnie…silly…of course we are…
stop worrying about nonsensical things…
I think your endless worrying and anxieties
led you to become like this…
(sighs) I know…I am to blame…
but sweetie…please do not…alright…?”
 

After Minho nods to Kibum, Minnie wakes up first – rubbing her eyes and grins after seeing their parents awake and talking without noticing her already awake so that she speaks to get their attention…

“Umma…Appa…hello…”

Minho:              (gasps) Oh…hello there baby…

Minnie:             (gently raises and kisses Minho)
                        Umma… feeling okay…?

Minho:              (nods) Yes… baby…
                        cause Appa is here taking care of me…
                        thank you  Minnie…

Minnie:             (smiles and hugs Kibum) You are welcome Umma…Appa…
                         we miss you…

                         (pecks Kibum’s lips) mwah…
                         (gasps) have you kissed Umma…?
                         Kiss Umma…Appa…
 

Kibum:             Oh…I already did…very long infact…

Minnie:             Ooohhh… very sneaky Appa…
                        you kissed Umma without letting us see…
                        (looks at Kibummie) wait… I will wake up Kimmie…
                        (nudges Kibummie) Kimmie…Kimmie…wake up…
 

“Min…nye…why…wake…me…up….
(incidentally faces Minho and gasps)
Um…ma…! Umma…you…okay…?”
 

“Yes…sweetie…
Umma…is okay…now…heard…

“(pouts) I cried a lot…Minnie…
so brave…she was ver very good…
(sighs) I only screamed and cried Umma…”
 

“(shakes his head) No sweetie…
you were also brave…
I bet you helped your sister…right…?”
 

“Umma…yes…Kimmie…helped me…”
 

Minho:              (caresses Kibummie’s face) See…Minnie said so…
                         you were brave too…Kibummie…

Kibummie:       (shyly smiles) Thank you…
                       (proudly says) I tried hard Umma…
                       very hard… you know…
                       I was afraid the whole time but I touffen myself up…

                       (crosses his hands on his chest) See Appa…?
 

Kibum:             (chuckling) Yap… you were tough…Kibummie…
                        just like Appa…

Kibummie:       (blushes) Thank you…and …
                        (points at Minnie) say…Minnie… we were good ha…?

Minnie:             (nods) Of course….high five Kimmie…

The kids high five while Kibum and Minho watch in awe. Minnie then faces Minho and asks…

Minnie:             Umma… when did it start…?

Minho:              (looks at Minnie) The what sweetie…?

Minnie:             (opens her arms and points Minho’s whole body)
                         This…I mean…the attack…?

Minho:              (looks at Kibum) hhmmm… during your birthday…

Kibum jerks hearing Minho’s response about to say something to mildly lecture Minho but withdraws the idea and lets the kids manage the whole scenario and just listens to their conversation…

Kibummie:       (quickly stands on the bed at Minho’s side and wails) 
                       Umma… my goodness… and you kept it a secret…?
                       That is sho mean…Umma…
                        what if something happen and you were alone...
                        (spread his arms anxiously) Out somewhere…

                       (wiggling his forefinger anywhere)
                       it could have been worshe…
                       Umma… so immature…

Minnie:             (nods) Kimmie is right Umma… what if…
                        we were not around…
                        that could have been scary Umma…

Kibummie:       (takes a deep breath and sighs)
                       Umma…
                       who else knew about your condition…?
