Inside Tiffany’s Office
Discussion…

Tiffany:            (hugs Kibum) Honey Kibummie…
                        the reason I suddenly especially called you is to make you
                        aware of Minho’s condition…

Kibum:             (stiffens) Auntie, Mr. Taeyang…?
                        (looks at Onew) and Onew hyung…?

Taeyang:         He is important as well…

Onew:             Kibum-ssi, I don’t have any idea what it is going
                       to be all about…

Taeyang:         (nods) Yes… Kibummie…

Kibum:             (sits on the chair) I am nervous, I believe Minnie is fine…
                        this is something not too serious right…?

Tiffany:            (gives a assuring smile) Oh… don’t worry…
                        but our talks is critical not to allow furthering Minho’s condition
                        cause we will never know until we solve the issue…

Kibum:             (sighs) I understand… please… 

Tiffany:            (takes a deep breath) Kibum honey…
                        I will understand whatever decisions you make but
                        right now, it is imperative that we should know what the
                        reasons are that triggers Minho’s anxieties…

                        (smiles) Minho is suffering from GAD…
                        (looks at Kibum) Sweetie, you know what it means,
                        right…?

Kibum:             (nods and lifts his chest to breathe) It is about Taemin…

Taeyang:         (eyebrows cringe) Kibummie…
                        what about Taemin…?

Kibum:             (bows his head) Auntie, Mr. Taeyang…
                        I am really sorry for keeping this information…
                        I took full responsibility to accept the blame…

Tiffany:            (catches her breath) What blame…? What happened…?

Kibum:             It was the time that Taemin and I agreed to slowly or
                        gradually separate…

                        (huffs) basically, to establish this preparation, Me, Minho
                        and Taemin agreed to divide my time between him
                        and my family that is, Minho and the kids…

                        Taemin, I thought…
                         trusting his words that he was alright with the condition
                         I was confident nothing bad would happen...
                         until one day…

                         (slows down and takes a heavy breath and looks each everyone’s faces)
                         Taemin took his life by cutting his wrist…”
 

Tiffany look at Taeyang in disbelief and like a silent agreement both of them choose to stay calm and quiet to listen Kibum’s revelation. Tiffany makes a sudden glance to his son, Onew who recognizes his mother fleeting look, bows his head and remains quiet.

“I found Taemin in a puddle of his own
blood then I took it upon myself to take care
of everything.
I administered the medication myself…

(stares at Tiffany with worried eyes) Auntie…

(then Taeyang) Mr. Taeyang…
I deeply apologize …but I believe you must have
known some it from hyung or Minho and it is fine by me…

(bows) for not making you aware…
I was worried of the aftermath especially for
Mom Soo and Dad Teukkie…
I was just thankful that I was able to save
Taemin’s life….”

Tiffany:            (kneels down to hug Kibum) Kibummie…
                        honey… are you silly…
                        you are way more capable to perform medical works…
                        way better than me…

                        (looks at Onew) Onew, did you know that…?
                        I mean Kibummie here is a great doctor...?

Onew:             (surprised and shakes his head) No…Mom…

Taeyang:         (smiles and whispers) Yes…
                        he is excellent in all fields of medicine…
 

“Auntie…Mr. Taeyang…
If you don’t mind, please keep this
information to ourselves for the time being.
I will handle this matter of informing this
incident to Mom Soo and Dad Teukkie in
a proper time…”

Tiffany:            (confused) But Bummie honey…
                        what’s Onew and Minho got to do with the incident…?

Kibum:             (sighs) I called up Onew to assist me and Minho I told him
                        about the incident…
                        and I know as a result is the primary reason of Minho’s
                        infirmity and I feel so guilty about it… 

                        (looks at Onew) Onew hyung…
                        please watch Taemin over carefully…
                        you will never know what he might do…
                        I am entrusting you with Taemin’s life…
                        He is very important to me like Minho but you see
                        I have fully recovered and aware where I needed to be with
                        and spend my entire life with…

Onew:             (nods) I will Kibum-ssi…
                       (looks at his mother, Taeyang) Mom… Mr. Taeyang…
                       I love Taeminnie so much.
                       I do not mind how long will it take for him
                       to give me the same intensity of how I feel but
                       his recognition and acceptance of my affection is good
                       enough for me not to give up…

Kibum:             (embraces Onew) Hyung…
                        this is also a good opportunity for you to
                        strengthened the bond with Taemin…
                        I am not angry with Taemin anymore in fact I want to see
                        him awhile ago but you know…

                        I just thought, this incident would be a great opportunity for
                        you to deepen your relationship with Taemin and...
                        for him, Hyung…he will be needing your company and support…
                        I will continue this behavior with him in a personal level except work…

Onew:             (nods) I understand…
                       and please count on me Kibum-ssi…
                       I will take care of Taemin…

Taeyang:         Kibummie…
                        after this, do you plan to permanently stay with your
                        family…?

Kibum:             (shakes his head) No…
                        the days that I am supposed to stay with Taeminnie will be
                        spent alone in my own place to respect Taemin until the
                        time, he has finally let go of me on his own through
                        hyung’s help…
                        will be the time I will have a peace of mind to settle myself
                        with my family…
