Continuation.........................................

Kibum:             (in shock at Minho’s query) Why Minnie…

Minho:             (thinks quickly) It is about this classmate of mine in our school. He shared to me regarding
                        his love for the same specifically his bestfriend. They’ve known each since little. 
                        Initially what he felt was an infatuation then growing up together grew deeper into an 
                        intense feeling of love… a love that has been hidden for such a very long time in his heart.

                        He doesn’t know what to do anymore – it is like the one he loves so deeply is his air to
                        breathe, who he has grown accustomed being with. He wants to let him know how he feels
                        but cowardice stops him in doing so…

                        Right now, he is in a delirious state of what step he has to do to begin with – his
                        conflicted thoughts derails him somehow – he is basically confused and tormented…
                        (turns his head to look at Kibum) What do you think must I say to point out my views,
                        Bummie?

Kibum:             hhmmm before I answer that turn and face me so I can scrub your body front too…

Minho:             (gulps and control the swirling emotions in his chest, does what he asked to and faces
                        Kibum, looks at Kibum in adoration and admiration) o-okey… (maintains a solid footing and
                        says) so what do you suggest I must tell him (feeling dizzy over gentle touches of his hand
                        on his body causing sending shivers endlessly from the time he lays his hand at his back) 

Kibum:             (stops temporarily to answer Minho’s question)Minnie, first and foremost anything can
                        happen in this world even at the time before Christ – relationship between men have
                        already happened so I am not in a position to pass on my judgment in that matter.  So in a
                        way – I am neutral, meaning I am neither accepting nor discerning about it – suffice to say
                        that I respect individual’s state of being…

                        In a given situation like, I mean regarding your friend, I’d say he has to express his feeling
                        to his bestfriend no matter the outcome is. It is better expressing earnestly in a very 
                        sincere manner than suffering from having to endure the pain endlessly however; there are
                        things to be considered whether your bestfriend can take the outcome or not.

                        If the person he has been inlove with trust and really knows him too well, I guess that    
                        person he loves will understand him and who knows what he might say – we will never
                        know. Let’s take into account if ever they have cultivated in years - a solid foundation of
                        a deep friendship – then that is a good thing. He might listen and understand your
                        classmate feelings but does not really mean accepting his feelings…

                       (waves at Minho) Now Minnie, come closer, better sit on my lap instead so I can wash you
                       properly… (taps the surface of the water to show where Minho should sit)… come....
