Continuation.................... Tenth Page.....................I close my eyes and think, "Just tired...".............

And so Minho rests his head on Key’s left shoulder and takes the initiative to strike an interesting conversation until they reach where Key’s car is parked.

Key opens the passenger car door and adjusts the lever and carefully lays Minho’s body on the seat.
 Then goes around enters the driving seat section and before setting the car on start, looks at Minho and asks…

“Give me your phone;
I will call your next class Prof…”

“Thanks…”

And so Key calls Minho’s professor then looks back at the latter and smiles.
Then he moves to his next now so many tasks as a result of calling Onew to pick up Taemin and call the latter to inform that he’d be coming back home with Onew and not with him.

“Onew hyung…Good morning…
I need a favor…
Drive yourself as quick as possible to our school
and pick up Taemin.
Am currently engaged right now and therefore
unable to be with Taeminnie… will you…?
And by the way, please take Taeminnie for a date…
Spend the whole day with him as I might need to do something…
Thanks…I will call him after I cut our line…”

Key cuts the line but before calling Taemin checks on Minho…

“Are you alright…?”

“Yes…I am…
I remember, I need to call my friends too…
 They are probably worried by now…”

“Oh…yeah…
Call them while I call Taemin to inform him…
(dials his mobile and quickly upon hearing Taemin’s voice, says)
Taeminnie…
Am with Minho at the moment…
And something happened to him.
I have requested Onew hyung to pick you up on my behalf…
Is it alright…?
(laughs) Thanks Taeminnie…”

Minho envies how Key treats Taemin or anybody so close to him and wishes how good if in the future, Key would treat him like how he would take care of Taemin.
 And so not to add another let down, Minho calls Nickhun to inform everyone that he will not come back and could not also attend to the next class with them.

Just few minutes near to his house, Key turns to look at him and says…

“I think I would prefer that I take care of you for the
meantime and when I see that you are really fine…
Or when I feel rest assured that, you are fine,
I may  allow you to go back to your house…
Okay…?”

Minho does not know how to react with the sudden luck that is just happening right before his very eyes.
He just nods as a response.
 And quickly after responding, Key gets his mobile and sends messages to which Minho assumes Kris and company.

So they reach the second gate; Minho gulps seeing Suho, Kris and the rests waiting for them outside the main entrance door – waving at them.
Minho without thinking twice shows concern…

“Key…Did you…?”

Key:                (looks at Minho chuckles at the sight of the latter’s
                       shocked expression)
                       Of course not…!
                       Silly…
                       Just be quiet and let me handle it. If they ask you…
                       Just tell them you are unwell due to a fall accident
                       hitting hard your back …okay…?

Minho:             (puffs) Thanks…sorry…
                       Because, that would be embarrassing…

Key stops parallel to where Kris and company are and calls on Suho to come closer.

“Mr. Suho…
Please come for a minute…”

In front of Key, Suho asks…

Suho:              Sir…?

Key:                Please tell everyone…
                       I am going to use the private lift and are things I have
                       requested ready…?
                       The tub, clothes and medicines…

Suho:              Yes Sir Key…
                       Water is a bit hot at just right amount of temperature.
                       Clothes you requested are inside the cupboard of your
                       shower room and you can find the medicines on top of
                       the counter large sink…

Key:                Thanks…
                       See all of you at the basement floor.
                       Wait for us by the lift…

Suho:              Okay Sir Key…
                        (leaves Key and Suho)…

Minho:             (dumbfounded as he speaks)
                        Lift…? Wwhooaa…

Key:                (twitches his lips at Minho)
                       Yes…It would be so you say…
                       ”Embarrassing” if you’d be carried princess style
                       and I know you do not like that…?
                       So last minute, I thought perhaps the lift is fine…
                       We do not use it actually cause Mom and I thought
                       there was no need to use it and the fact that we only
                       have a two-storey house…
                       Oh…Perhaps counting the basement where the lift is…
                       Three…?

Minho:             (elated by what he hears)
                       Thank you Key…
                        I appreciate it…
                        I am so sorry that I am in a situation taking some of
                        your time especially taking care of me…

Key:                (glints at Minho) Ssshhh… I like to…
                       And I would want your first time to as worth
                       remembering and not like a tumultuous traumatic remembrance…
                       You know… and here we are the basement…
                        (smiles seeing Suho and company)
                       They are really quick…
                       Tao and Kris, both tall guys like your height will carry you like…
                        (motions a scarecrow) This…
                       Or one of them using pack strap carry method…
                       Whichever you prefer…

Minho:             (grins) Pack Strap Carry is fine…

Key:                (nods) Okay…
                       We need a person with a more muscle built and that would be Kris…
                       (sees sweat falling down Minho’s cheek)
                       Stay here and I will call Mr. Kris…hold on…
                       (wipes Minho’s sweat)
                       You’re sweating…
                       Relax…
                       (sprays perfume on Minho)
                       Just a little scent to diffuse the fluid scent we both released…
