And Key accompanied by Chen arrives looking somehow puzzled, tired and dead-beat…
“Mom… can I take a shower to refresh myself…?”
“Sure hon…but…sweetie, is it alright if after
we can go to our neighbour’s house…?”
Key: (looking astounded)
Do we have a neighbor in this area…?
Tiffany: (chuckles at Key’s reaction) Yes…
We do have a closeby neighbor.
I do not know if you noticed that average-height wall…
(gasps to remember) Oh… it is because you
probably roamed the other side of this house…
There is a 5ft. wall partition on the other side
of this house where our neighbors are residing…
Key: (still puzzled) Them neighbors…
pretty strange… why…
I thought our house is the only one built in this area…?
Tiffany: (smiles) Yeah…
we own the entire state but your Dad…kind of…
(exhales loudly) Honey… long story…
one of these days… I will tell you…
(hugs Key) Back to my request…
As I have said, after you take you a bath,
can we go greet them…?
Key: (face grimaces staring at his mother)
Why… is there a need to…?
Hearing Key’s statement, Tiffany along with the four trusted helpers feel shuttered as how cold Key’s response was.
The 4 helpers could see that there was no emotion from Key’s statement and that they could also tell that perhaps Key is having a hard time dealing with his new location and does not really want to come back home.
They are a bit shuttered but all of them glance at each other including Tiffany to accept it as a challenge.
And Tiffany responses…
“Of course sweetie, our neighbor’s son along
with his friends gathered together to clean and
enhance both the inside and outside of our house…
(releases from the hug and steps back but still facing Key)
So… it is just proper that we greet them and extend our thanks…
what do you think…
I will leave it up to you to decide… sweetie…”
“(a bit exasperated) Aaahh… I see…
You are throwing the decision to me
after they have done something good and that,
I am forced to say yes and accompany you
even If I feel not wanting to go because
you knew that my answer would be a big No!...
Nice Mom, I really am seeing a more pressuring scenario such as this…
(sighs frustratedly) Why do I really have to go with you
when I do not have a business and interest to meet people…
(whines) Aaasshh… Fine…
for my beloved Mom’s reputation sake…
What time…?”
Tiffany giggling at Key’s diva-ish remark delighted that the latter agrees to meet and greet their neighbors replies…
“At around 6:30 pm or better yet after
you have taken your shower…
(worries) Are you hungry?
Would you like to eat… Mr. Tao is a great cook….”
“(shakes his head) No… Mom…
I am full perhaps later…
(asks Tao) Mr. Tao do you cook only Korean dishes
or you are able to cook other cuisines…?”
“I can cook European cuisine like pasta…”
“(eyes widens in excitement) Oh… now…
what a delight…
Can you prepare for us cheese cream mushroom pasta and beef steak…
You may prepare it when we arrive from…
(turns to his mother) What’s the name Mom…?”
“Donghae and his son Minho-ssi…”
“Oh… he has a son…
(turns to face Tao) Cook it when we arrive
from our meet and greet Mr. Tao, okay…?”
“Yes, Sir Key…”
