Continuation..............where was i?i need to read the previous page...while i take coffee excuse me...oh-qui...let's proceed...

The truth, of course, is that his dream troubles him a lot and he is trying to connect the events that are happening; becoming more aware than ever of his unstructured thoughts and the flash of the particular image specifically his room in his dream. Yet, at the same time, the intermittent nature of the coincidences have become pretty obvious – hunches are, no matter what measures he might do – the actions are really to lead somewhere...

Kibum:             Mr. Taeyang… Do you think – I need to tell Minho and Taemin as of this instant?

Taeyang:         (without hesitation replies) Yes Bummie…

Gets his mobile and calls on Minho “Minnie, please come to our house tonight. I will let Mr. Taeyang pick both of you up. There is something very important I need to tell you. Thank you – I will also call on Taeminnie, let me do it” then after he calls on Taemin stating the same message.

 Finally he arrives at his destination and proceeds directly to Siwon’s office detailing the purpose of his visit.

Siwon:             Mr. Kim, I am really sad that you will have to leave us but at the same time very happy that
                        we were able to have you as a student of this school. How I wish you could stay much
                        longer…

Kibum:             Mr. Siwon, I am very happy with my stay here and I will forever cherish those wonderful 
                        moments I have spent here. By the way, the garden house, I will leave it up to you to
                        decide what you will do with it…

Siwon:             We will leave it as it is… Mr. Kim and as a matter of fact, we appreciate that you have
                        requested to build something useful and to remember you by as well…

Kibum:             (smiles) Thanks Mr. Siwon… by the way, don’t let the school body knows though I am
                        pretty sure it’ll go unnoticed however I know in time someone might ask you of my
                        whereabouts – I guess that'd be the only time you can tell them…

Siwon:             Sure Mr. Kim… and thank you very much… I will never forget you…

Kibum:             Thank you too Mr. Siwon and good bye… dont worry, perhaps I will see you soon… (bows
                        and leaves Siwon’s office waving)

Siwon:             (chokes and could not utter a single word) Mr. Kim Kibum at such a young age – is every
                        inch a gentleman…. Thank you very much and I hope we will see you again (unknowingly
                        tears stream down his face)… aaahhh such a nice person…

At Kim’s Manor

Heechul, Jessica and Kibum are standing by the loggia watching the sun setting down, Jessica back hugging Kibum and Heechul doing the same thing with Jessica – all in complete silence, content themselves enjoying the peaceful environment. Though this kind of phenomenon is nothing out of the ordinary – the vanishing daylight, the endless flying of birds, trees swiftly movements and the emergence of stars shining vibrantly - somehow surveying the beauty of these sights is different and overwhelming...so gratifying for them …

                      Jessica:           (taking a deep breath and leans her head at Heehul’s left shoulder) Honey, do you think
                                              we are doing the right thing?

Heechul:          (caresses her chin) Yes, (he says and adds) Do you see one of the brightest stars above?
                        Our Bummie here is going to be just like that – I can never foretell what future holds but I 
                        have faith in you (tapping Kibum’s forehead) I am your father and understood to be the one
                        commanding but apparently reality tells otherwise and this is so that I admire and respect
                        you as a person Bummie. (leaning his head to Jessica’s) So Honey, never underestimate
                        Bummie’s potential…

Jessica:           (smiles) Honey, that’s not what I mean – long ago, I have already known Bummie’s
                        capabilities… What I am so concerned is that (chokes) I… I… am go..going to miss
                        Bummie so much… It is going to be a long agony of loneliness… I .. I cant.. bear the
                        isolation Hon…

                      Kibum:             (raises both hands backward searching for his Mom’s face) Mom, are you alright?

Jessica:           (nods) yeah… sweetie… it’s just that I don’t want to be away from you… I can’t take it
                        sweetie…

Kibum:             (turns his body now facing Jessica) Mom and Dad, I can see that you are not satisfied with
                        my suggestion before, so how about if we can all move together in Europe you know… as
                        for you Daddy – you can just visit South Korea perhaps every three months anyway we 
                        have competent and reliable staffs here and me helping you both – I believe everything will
                        just turn out fine… what do you think?

Jessica:           (smiles and turns facing Heechul) Honey…

Heechul:          (hums and thinks) It is going to be a lot of work but it is not a bad idea, you know…

Jessica:           (squeals in happiness) Oh Honey…thanks! (showering kisses at Heechul and Kibum)
                         thanks! Thanks! – Oh my, I am now so happy – you two are just so marvelous… (but then
                        her mood changes) Oh… the Choi’s…. yeah…

Heechul:          yeah…. Bummie? What will you do?

Kibum:             yeah…. Mom, Dad I have asked Minho and Taeminnie to come over and perhaps invite
                        them for a sleep over…. I will inform them tonight…

Jessica:           (sighs) Oh my god… now this is going to be painful… I can visualize how unbearable this
                        will be… Sweetie… please be gentle with them ok?

Kibum:             (sighs) Yes Mom…

                      Heechul:          I wish they will agree to come with us in Europe but that is just impossible as they have
                                              their own businesses to attend here neither to separate the couple of having Sooyoung to
                                              come with us – unimaginable…

Kibum:             (looks at Jessica) Mom, remember last time I have mentioned that I would handle
                        informing Aunt Sooyoung and Uncle Leeteuk, can I ask a favor?

Jessica:           (wonders) Yes sweetie, what is it?

Kibum:             Can we the three of us or just you and Dad informing them via dinner… I can not bear
                        informing them alone… please Mom and Dad?

Heechul:          (looks at Jessica) Honey, I am alright with that and you?

Jessica:           (nods in agreement) same here Bummie – not a bad idea… (stops and breathes heavily 
                        and faces the two) I thought all along that we will stay in this place permanently or perhaps
                        much longer – though I can see this moment coming - nevertheless I have never thought
                        that it will happen so suddenly…you know…

Kibum:             (puts on a lighter mood) Mom – we can deal with it in a different manner you see – just
                        think of it as - It is all for the common good – what do you think?

Jessica:           (pinches Bummie’s cheek) You sly…..

Kibum:             ooouuccchhhh mmoommm….

Heechul:          (laughs at Bummie’s statement) Now Bummie – that is pretty lame…. (and tickles Bummie)

Kibum:             (defending his Mom’s pinches and his Dad’s tickling attacks) Daaaadddd, Moommm…
                        eeennaafff…. (successfully runs away from them) Oh Mom, Dad I will have to ask Mr.
                        Taeyang to pick up Minnie and Taemin…

Heechul:          Oh…really? (looks at Jessica and back at Bummie) Do you want us to give you privacy?
                        We can go somewhere?

Jessica:           (nods in agreement) Yeah… Sweetie… We can leave?

Kibum:             (taken aback with his parents statements) Mom, Dad this place is huge – I don’t even think
                        you can hear our yells or laughters… let’s all have dinner…ok?

Heechul:          (smiles) not bad Bumme, why not?

Jessica:           (nods)  gosh, I love those two adorable sweet handsome guys… what time are they
                        coming over?

Kibum:             anytime Mom – in thirty minutes?

Heechul:          Dinner should be ready by then, don’t you think? And better yet, call on Mr. Taeyang to
                        have them picked up…

Kibum:             Don’t worry Dad, everything is already arranged… (calls on Teayang)… Mr. Taeyang,
                        kindly pick them up… Thank you… (cuts the call) They’ll be here in thirty minutes…

Jessica:           (boths hands on cheeks) Oh Hon, sweetie I remember Dad was saying something about
                        Mom… we are scheduled to meet with him to discuss about our heritage… I don’t really
                        know what is going on sweetie but Honey I have requested from Daddy that you’ll be 
                        present during that time…

Heechul:          (wonders) Oh… why am I not surprised…? I am kind a getting the hack of your family’s
                        suprises… and this is something nothing unusual unless… you know Dad will tell us –
                        you’re of noble lineage – my, am gonna be blown away geezzz…. Hon perhaps we will just
                        have to wait whether I will be joining both of you or not, ok?

Jessica:           (shakes her head) silly… of course we are not… our heredity belongs to that of a humble
                        business class… Wait? Have it your way then....

Heechul:          (smirks) humble? Duh… Honey… you must be out of your mind…

Jessica:           (raises her left eyebrow and pouts) meanie…

Kibum:             (shakes his head and smiles at his parents silliness) aaaiiigooo… you two…. Mom, Dad I
                        think it is getting cold, is it not? Let’s get inside…

Jessica:           oh…yeah…
