Continuation..................................Last Page...........

Donghae lightly pulls Minho away from Key.

“Tiffany and Key…
We will leave you temporarily to welcome and talk
to your visitors if that is alright…?!
Tiffany, when you are both done, we…
I mean will come back to accompany you again…”

“Okay…Donghae…Thank you…
(faces Key) Honey…Come…
Our visitors have been waiting for you…”

“Okay…
(looks at Minho) Minho…
Talk to you later…Meanwhile have fun…”

Donghae and Minho walk Jessica and Key away from them and when sure that distance is safe for them to talk, Donghae faces Minho and says…

Donghae:       Minho…I need to tell you this and be prepared…

Minho:             What is it Dad…?

Donghae:       Key is engaged to Park and hey…
                       We are talking about marriage happening
                       anytime this year or next year…

Minho:             (nods) I am aware of that…but thank you Dad…

Donghae:       And do you come prepared…

Minho momentarily in silent then speaks…

“I know it is not good to be continuously
tormenting myself about it and if that will never be
broken – their engagement, then perhaps,
I will enjoy every moment I will experience with Key…
(looks at his Dad) And right now, I am very happy Dad…
I have never been happier and you know that…
I have been waiting for this to happen…
See Dad…it’s been too long of waiting years…
Imagine 15 years without Key was like living a life half lived…
And I am just thankful that you and Jessica as well
as my friends helping me through those depressing moments…
You know how much I love Key…”

Donghae could not speak a single word to counteract Minho’s passionate long statement and he could see in his son’s eyes how sincere and determined Minho is. Donghae ends up embracing him and patting his back for support and love.

“Thanks Dad…
I greatly appreciate your support.
I know it is going to be painful for you to watch me with Key
because of him and Park’s situation but look it in a
positive side of how Key makes me happy right now…
And for that, I am okay with it…
Then the after… I will have to deal with it myself…
The now is important to me and for the tomorrow,
As what you have asked me...
I will come prepared…”

“Fine…
Okay…go meet and talk to your friends…
While I go and check what’s going on in the kitchen…”

“Okay Dad…”

After some time, Taemin spots Minho and excuses himself from Onew. 
With an interesting look on his face approaches Minho tapping the latter’s left shoulders…

“Minho…so how’s things are going…
You look so happy…!”

Minho turns to check on who just patted him and quickly smiles to see Taemin and says…

“Thanks Taemin for your support.
(nods) Yes…I am so happy right now…”

“Aha…To the top ha…?!
Just look at your face…
With smile beaming like sunshine...”

“(laughs) Yeah…but take note…
Dad has reminded me of his engagement with Park…
He just told me just now…”

“(sighs) Yeah…
But between you and Park…
I would love for Key to end up with you…”

“Thanks Taemin….”
