Continuation...................................First Page.................Hi everyone..................

Then taken aback hearing his kid self…

“Ken…Hey…Ken…
you are spacing out again…hey!”

“huh…uuhhh… am sorry…
I remembered someone…”

“Oh…a friend…?”

“Yeah…
A friend who probably will forget me once he leaves…”

“Why…
is she leaving you behind…?”

“Oh… a... He…”

“Oh…sorry…
(rubs Minho’s costume)
Ooohh…
Don’t even think about that…
Am pretty sure, when he comes back, he will remember you…
(smiles sweetly)
You are so sweet and generous…”

“(blushes) Oh… thank you…
(thinks, “I will forever remember this moment…”
(then says)
I think we need to head home…
where do you live…?”

“What are you doing, are your fingers like a tool to locate your house…?”

“Aha…
(points blindly his home location)
My place is over there!”

“Okay… let’s go then…”

“(on hesitating voice agrees) aahhh…hhhmm…okay… I think…
(grabs Minho’s left hand) Let’s go…
(swings arms) Did you have a good time tagging me along…?”

“I think… yes… because you are so funny…”

And so the two kids walk with the present Key following them and commenting…

“Oh…Dang…
Dumb Key…just admit it…
You are lost…!
I can see it in your face…
I looked exactly like that when I am clueless…”

“Something wrong…?”

“I could not see any view of our house paved barrier…
I think we went to a wrong direction…
(looks at Minho) hhhmm…
Am sorry, but I do not know how to get back …
(goes on and on) but don’t worry,
I can call my hyungs for the direction just that
I did not bring my phone perhaps a phone booth or…
you…might…have…a…phone…
with you?”

Which Key instantly reacts…

“HYUNGS…
WHO….hyungs…?
Onew and Jonghyun…?
I guess…
Have I already met them when I was a kid…?
(sighs)”

Focuses on the two again…

“(moves his head sideways)
No…
I did not also bring my phone…”

“Ooohh…
perhaps, we can go back to the previous house
we have been and request if we can possibly use their phone,
what do you think?”

“Good suggestion but I know this whole place…
describe to me your place…”

“Eeerr…
I remember passing from another
small gate.
Aasshh...
cause the distance from our second gate to the main gate is like a kilometer.
Just walking the distance is so tiring…
so that, one of my hyungs showed me a short cut to go out…”

“Do you remember how your place looks like…?”

“Huge giant wall…
another huge wall…wall…huge…
well…huge gate too…from probably…
(points afar) there to…
(points to another far distance) there…
(shrugs) I dunno why I have a home like that…
(turns to Minho) hard no?”

“(snaps his fingers – pretending)
Oh… the largest place here in the entire city…
I heard from my friends, it is called…
Kim’s Swan Estate!”

“(flinches) What…?
Kim’s Swan Estate?!
Why…called like that?!”

“(nods) Yeah…
according to one of the families that visited the place.
The owner called it Swan dedicated to his son, Kim Key Kibum…
but, sorry…
I dunno the whole story…”
