Suddenly, rush of tiny steps can be heard excitedly sprinting in their direction following a loud call…

“UMMA…PAPA…MINNIE AND I ARE READY…!”
Says Kibummie…

“Hi Umma…Hi Papa…
Let’s get Baby Sue and Baby Li…”
Jumping excitedly Minnie…

Jonghyun:        (taps Minho’s shoulder) Minho-ssi… let’s go…

Minho:              (nods) Okay… sweeties…let’s go…

“YEEYY…!”

The Following Day
At the Airport – Departure Time

Minho is so shocked to see three 707 Boeing airplanes and one private jetplane parked at the airport as the car they are in slowly makes it way towards the boarding area. He is beginning to wonder that perhaps Yuri is right again for the third time – this could probably a huge celebration that involves Kibum’s family which logical enough to think that the latter’s purpose to be away from him for four days is to help arrange the celebration however in just seconds, negates thinking…

“But… how come we were never asked to at least help them…?”
 

Even to a point of tormenting himself to be so concerned why they were not called to at least help with the preparation as it would not have been an issue for them – that, they could have been ready anytime.

Minho looks at Jonghyun and Yuri who are also looking at him both wearing sullen faces directed to him as if to convey him to get a grip somehow. There is no doubt that with the looks of Jonghyun and Yuri’s faces – there is no telling as it is so obvious how  down somehow Minho feels, or how upset, no way to measure the vehemence of his facial reactions until Jonghyun says…

“Minho-ssi, hush…
don’t worry too much…
get used to some things unrevealed…
it is not at all healthy…”

“Umma…What is wrong…
you look so confused…”

 

Minnie saying worried about Minho’s condition…

What’s even more surprising is when they all step out of the limo car at the front of the private jetplane; one of Kim’s family trusted staffs comes rushing to see them and kneels infront of Minnie and Kibummie including Minho with his head down like how monarchial person is being addressed making Minho more stunned and confused. He turns his face to look at Jonghyun and Yuri who are not at all shocked but kind of understand in a different aspect. 

“Sir Choi Minho and company,
the plane is ready.
They are all inside just waiting for you to
board so we can leave as soon as possible…”

Minho just nods and does not know what to do to calm his swelling emotions down, other than take heavy intake of breaths and manage to stay balance and composed.

“Umma… where are we going…?”
Kibummie asks smiling at him innocently…
 

“Sweetheart… hhhmmm… let me see…
(thinking of a good logical answer)
this is one of Appa’s belated surprise for you and Minnie…”
 

“Really…? Wow…
we are going to see Appa…”
Says the jumping in excitement Minnie…

Somehow in a strange way, Minnie mentioning Kibum’s name settles Minho’s stormy feeling and feels a bit calmer as they all tread the passageway heading to the jetplane.

“Please... Sir Choi Minho, this way…”
Says the staff…

Minho makes a quick glance at Jonghyun and Yuri searching for some sort of strength who both nod at him at the same time; he opens the drape and suddenly amazed seeing almost everybody he and Kibum's extended families and of course not mentioning his immediate family – Taemin.

“Minho hyung…! Minnie…
Kibummie…Jonghyun hyung….
Yuri noona…”
Taemin happily calls as the he runs towards them …

Taemin:           (smiling sweetly) Hi dearests…how are you…?

Minnie:             (hugs Taemin) I am fine Mama Tamin…
                         where is Papa New…?

Kibummie:       (hugs Taemin) Good afternoon Mama Tamin….
                        I am fine too…

Taemin:           (points at Onew) Papa New is over there…

Kibummie:       (tugs Minho’s hand) Umma can we go talk to Papa New…?

Minho:              (nods) Sure… you may go….

And so Minnie and Kibummie walk fast to go to Onew being watched by Minho and Taemin pretty amused. Thenafter the latter turns to Minho and asks…

Taemin:           (surprised mystified look) Hyung…
                        do you happen to know what is going on…?
                        (sees Minnie and Kibummie)

Minho:              (shakes his head dumbfounded) No idea at all…
                         I am most bewildered just like you…

                        (waves at Onew) Onew hyung!...

Taemin:           We arrived here pretty early. I guess Onee and I
                        were the one picked up first and Auntie Tiffany…

Minho:              (gasps) Is Auntie here…?

Taemin:           (nods) Yes…she is here inside that
                        (points at a cubicle) room…

Jonghyun:        Taemin…I bet both of you also received the invitation…?

Taemin:           (nods) yes we did…
                        we even thought at first it came from Minho hyung and Key
                        but we were surprised to see without a mention of the
                        location and by noon time we got a call from Key’s private
                       staff stating we will be picked up so got ourselves ready.

Jonghyun:        Oh… same like us Minho-ssi…

“Ladies and Gentlemen, fasten your seatbelt.
We are about to take off in two minutes…”

“Oh…the kids…”
Says Taemin…

Taemin hurriedly turns back from them to get Minnie and Kibummie and after several seconds goes back carrying the twins…

“Minnie… Kibummie…after the take off…
you may come to our place again…”

“Ok…Mama…”
Twins reply gleefully….
