Tiffany:            (smiles) Thank you sweetie and you too as well…
                        Who would have thought that our only dearest son
                        would turn out famous and affluent at a young age.

Key:                (shaking his head) Oh... Mom... please cut it out...
                       Just a reminder when we are here;
                        I am just a simple person - a normal student
                        who loves painting and do not worry,
                         I will only paint simple themes and even do easy sculpting.

Tiffany:            (chuckles at Key's remark) Fine... dear... as you wish...
                        and represent yourself as penniless as well..

Key:                (jokes) Yeah...
                       (pointing at their house) With the house like that...
                        who would believe...
                        I can come up with an excuse as a typical
                       allowance-provided-weekly-basis-student...

Tiffany:            (puffs) Silly Key...

Tiffany and Key both look front ahead a minute in front of their main entrance door, the place escaped so many years ago, and had originally planned to never has her feet step in again.
Tiffany turns the wheel around the huge swan fountain that immediately catches Key's eyes remarking...
 

"Oh that duck must have been complaining
all these years as to how awful she was sculpted.
I wonder who made it...a swan or a duck?"
 

Tiffany snorting slightly pushes the gas while slowly driving around the fountain and passes by yet another man-made landscape adorned with several sculpted statues but this time Key just smirks and stays quiet.

By the main entrance door, Tiffany suddenly feels excited like their many years back, she admits they had a wonderful time staying here but this time she is forcing the feeling to feel alright.
They both know that they are both here for one reason, and one reason only, and that would be to secure Key.

They are not here to rekindle, and reminisce - especially Key who has forgotten his early childhood years staying here - relations.
As much as possible Tiffany does not want - if possibly could be avoided - to rehash everything that had happened way back then and have all the memories and feelings come back...

"No...way...I am here for Key..."
She out of the blue bursts out and
bangs her fist on the steering wheel...

"Mom... are you alright...?"
Worried Key asks....

"OH....(gasps) sorry honey...
just reminded me of something..."
Apologetic Tiffany responses to Key's worrying tone...

"It is alright Mom... Here we are...
by our main entrance door..."
 

Tiffany nods regaining her composure and steps out of the car. Voice of the helpers come rushing towards them to meet and welcome them.

"Welcome back home Madam Tiffany
and Sir Key..."
 

Tiffany:            (smiles) Thank you very much Mr. Kris, Mr. Tao,
                        Mr. Suho and Mr. Chen.
                        It is wonderful to see you all again.
                        I think this is the first meeting my son, Key after so many years...

Kris:                (smiles) Yes Madam... Good day Sir...
                       (bows) You look very well sir...

Key:                (bows back) Thank you very much and
                       please address me as Key - first name basis is fine...

Kris:                (head down and shakes head)
                       We believe we cannot sir...
                       As a respect, it would be much appropriate
                       to address you as Sir Key, please...

Key:                (smiles gently) If that's what pleases you... please rise...
                       (extends his hand for a shake hand)
                       Nice to meet you Mr. Kris, Mr, Tao, Mr, Suho and
                       I believe you are Mr. Chen.
                       Let me brief you about myself; I am basically
                       a pain in the neck to deal with, impatient,
                       blatantly frank and hard to please...

Tao:                (nervously replies) We will be very careful
                       and attentive to your needs, Sir Key.
                       Thank you very much for making us all aware...

Key:                (bows head) Thank you and good afternoon...
                       (turns to Tiffany) Mom... can I look around to acquaint myself...

Tiffany:            (excitedly nods) Sure sweetheart go ahead...
                        Mr. Tao to accompany you?

Key:                (smiles) No Mom...
                       am sure I can manage around this humungous place...
                       See you later Mom... I will be fine...relax...

Tiffany:            Okay... you have your mobile don't you, just call me if you need me...

Key:                (waving his hand as walks) Okay... thanks a lot...
