Continuation...............................................................2nd Page update........................

Kibum forever pouting and perking his lips not getting his way with Minho, keeps quiet and follows the latter's request; faces front and absentmindedly scrolling his laptop like having a seven year old temper tantrum.
 

Minho on the other hand, gulps in surprise and giggles secretly at the same time witnessing this side of Kibum acting like a kid for the very first time. Excitedly paying attention at Kibum, Minho inattentively - because of too much luxury of watching the cute side of Kibum – lets out a giggle…

“hhmmpph..hi..hi…”
 

“Minnie…? You giggling…?”
 

“(changes to a serious mode and shaking his head)
No…no… am serious…

(pulling Kibum’s face to look at him) See…am serious…

(points at the laptop) Now…
let’s continue…
we need to finish this now…”
 

“(nods quietly) Okay…”
 

Minho gasps when Kibum quietly submits and follows his request yet again and as he enjoyably watches the other fiddling with the laptop on his hand; Minho could not stop himself feeling happy and elated and thinks…

“So is this how powerful playing a role of wife or partner should be…
it think I will enjoy this…but Minho take note…
do not over do it…
stay calm and relax…
 you are with a very powerful person on earth….be careful…”
 

Then Minho unknowingly responds to his own self thinking…

“Aaahhh…. I am not afraid…
Bummie….loves me so much…”

 

Kibum hearing it turns to look at Minho and quickly respond…

“Of course…
I love you with all my hear Minnie…!
Aaassshhh…”

Minho gulps surprised and says…

“Thank you Honey…Ok….ok…
(pats Kibum’s shoulder) back to work…
work your invitees… and I will to…
so we can arrange the invitations for sending as soon as possible…”

Kibum:             But….Minnie… the date is changed alright…

Minho:              (nods) Yeah…Funny…
                        their birthdate is 26th of January and the celebration
                        has been moved so many times…

Kibum:             (chuckles) What to do…

Minho:              (shock) Honey… what did you just say…
                         I think I heard that expression somewhere…

Kibum:             (laughs) Oh…this is an expression from a country…
                        Where instead of saying, what can we do…
                         they shorten the sentence but still understandable – to,
                         what to do…

Minho:              (laughs) What to do…so when is the date exactly…?
                         And do Onew and Taemin know the change…?

Kibum:             (nods) Yeap… I called up Onew hyung yesterday…
                        as well as Jonghyun hyung and Mr. Taeyang…
                        the date of the celebration is going to be on….
                        the 15th of April.

Minho:              (worry tone) Hon… it is almost Yuri’s delivery date…
                         Yuri is due at the end of the month or beginning of next month…
                         her choice narmal or ceasarian procedure…

Kibum:             (gapes) Ohh…really….
                        then we will have to be very careful about her condition. 
                        I do not want for her to suffer distress…

Minho:              (suddenly becomes serious) Bummie…?

Kibum:             yeah….sweetie… what is it…?
                       Hhhmmm…
                       it seems like you keep on calling my name lately…

Minho:              (leans his head on Kibum’s shoulder)
                        hhhmmm…
                        there is something I need to discuss to you
                        about my twins too…

Kibum:             (caresses Minho’s cheeks) Tell me…

Minho:              (smiles) some other time…
                        but am just letting you know…alright…?

Kibum:             (nods) as you wish Sweetie…as you wish…
                        (claps) Now I am done…

Minho:              (shaking his head just watching the list) So…?

Kibum:             (looks at Minho cutely) hhhmm…  
                       My part is about 4,000 invitees includes VIPs from
                       around the world and KPI’s top people;

                       Mom and Dad combined, total is 1,500;
                       Mom Soo and Dad Too combined, total is 1,500;
                       my beloved grandfather and his family combined,
                       total is 2,000 includes Taeyang and Joonie’s immediate families;

                       our extended family like Onew, Taeminnie,
                       Jonghyun and Yuri all of them combined, total is 1,000 of course,
                       they might want to invite their families as well you know.

                      And you arranged as to how many people for
                      my beloved Natalie…
                      (looks at his laptop) So all in all approximately 10,000…

Minho:              (gulps but maintain his calmness) hhhmm…
                        as for me since you have planned out for our parents…
                        I think I am left with our classmates running to the total of
                        175 every one person of the 175 can bring two people
                        with him or her in total that would be 525 people;

                        for Natalie’s family, I am setting it to a maximum 2,000 invitees.  
                        All in all for me, in total are 2,525 invitees.

                       (simply takes a deep breath and softly gets the laptop from Kibum and says)
                       Honey…my dearest one… let me adjust a little okay…

                       (scrolls the tabulation and says)
                       My mom and dad, I will adjust it to 500,
                       Onew and company – let me adjust it to 500 as well….
                        hhhmmm…. whatelse…

                       (looks at Kibum) Honey, does Mr. Owen still meeting with
                       his old associates…?

Kibum:             (shakes his head and realizes) Oh…yeah…no…
                        (laughs and nods) Okay…okay… adjust it as well…

Minho:              (grins) Okay…
                        we will adjust it to half of the 1,500 which is 750.
                        Honey, do not forget to invite all of your household
                        members from all around the globe alright…

Kibum:             (gasps) Oh…now…they are plenty…
                        that would be like 5,500… I mean all of them…

Minho:              (shocked with jaw locked for several seconds)
                         aaahhh…aahhh…

Kibum:             (stunned by Minho’s reaction, closes Minho’s gaping mouth)
                        Sweeite…flies might come in…

Minho:              (pats Kibum’s hands and blurts)
                         WHAT!! Almost 6,000…?

Kibum:             (nods) but that is only approximate…
                        I dunno perhaps close to 8,000 all in all…

                        (holds Minho’s hands) Sweetie are we saying that the list
                        will total approximately close to 16,000…

Minho:              (sighs) Fine…I mean go with the original plan…
                        I mean it is up to them how many they can invite as long as
                        they are fine with who they invite…
                        Honey…am talking about those I adjusted…

Kibum:             (nods) Okay…you are the boss…

Minho:              (smirks and embraces Kibum) hhhmmm…
                        you saying that…reminds me…
                        Hon…Bummie…?

Kibum:             (chuckles) and for the nth time…
                        yes… what is it…sweetie…?

Minho:              (pouts) aaasshhh… so mean…
                        (holds Kibum’s cheeks tight making the latter lips shaping
                        like a fish lips)
                        Honey…
                        just to let you know and making you aware that…
                        outside of this house our home….
                        You are the boss…alright…?

                        But, in here…honey…
                        I run the household…
                        infact…let me put it this way…
                        all of your households worldwide…alright…?

Kibum:             (trying to speak despite his lips pressed)
                        uh..uh…uh…mmmm…

Minho:              (jerks) aaahhhh…. Ssorry…
                        (releases) there…speak…

Kibum:             Yes…Boss...
