Donghae smiles and secretly looks at Tiffany who is all eyes on Key happy to see her son having a good time and not feeling edgy and bored.
Suddenly, a proposition comes into her mind…

Tiffany:            Donghae…?

Donghae:       (looks at Tiffany quickly) Yes… Tiffany…?

Tiffany:            Key is on his last year of college.
                        He was basically home schooled in the US
                        due to some unavoidable circumstances.
                        And according to the company that handled him; 
                        he should be on his fourth year college
                        once he enters a university.
                       
                        So that, I would like for him to finish and
                        actually enroll this year.
                        Do you know of a school that offers Fine Arts?
                        His major are painting and sculpting…
 

Donghae:       (nonchalantly looks at the mirror and smiles)
                       Oh…
                       Minho’s school is considered the top school here in Korea.
                       They offer almost all courses.
                       I would be glad to recommend Key in that university
                       and am positive that he will like it.

Tiffany:            (calls Key who keeps staring at the painting
                        hanging on the wall)
                        Honey… Key…
                       (walks to Key to get him back to his senses)
                       Hon… are you ok…?

Key:                (points at the painting) That painting…
                       I don’t know but I feel some kind of attachment…
                       weird ha…?
                       (looks at his mother) Mom…?

Tiffany:            (smiles) I said, we were talking about your last year
                        of school and Donghae here suggested you enroll
                        to where Minho is studying since it is considered
                        top university here in Korea…
                        so, what do you think…?

Key:                (nods absentmindedly) I am fine with
                       whatever you think is fine Mom…
                       So be it…

Tiffany:            (sad tone) you sound like am forcing you…

Key:                (hugs Tiffany) Mom… as I have said,
                       I will agree to whatever you want.
                       But you need to remember,
                       I need to go back to New York…

Donghae:       (encourages Key) You will like the university Key.
                       It has a good reputation in the country
                       and if it is Fine Arts you are into,
                       you will find it enjoyable and challenging as well.
                       I know the principal of the university.
                       I can let you be admitted without hassle.

Key:                (smiles) Thank you Uncle. If it is alright with you,
                       I will appreciate if you accompany me
                       processing the papers…

Donghae:       (waves hand) Ohh… No need to go.
                       I will call my friend and admit you.
                       Instantly, as soon as you are enlisted,
                       all the necessary modules and books will be sent to your house.

Tiffany:            (elated) Thank you Donghae…
                        (hugs Key) Sweetie… see…
                        Life is easier here than New York…
                        You’ll eventually enjoy life here…

Key:                (perks his lips) hhhmm… we’ll see…
 

Key is about to ask Tiffany to go home when suddenly his mobile rings and signals an excuse to answer the call…
 

“Hello…Oh… Hi Taemin!
(makes a quick glance at his mother)
We are fine, we arrived in the afternoon today.
So how are you doing…? Lonely…?
Meet up with your friends…
you have quite a lot… you know.

(gasps) What…! Have you…?! Hold on…
Mom is here… I will tell her…

(faces Tiffany) Mom…
Taemin wants to come and live with us…”
 

Tiffany puffs smilingly reply…

“I thought so…
I knew that he will immediately miss you…fine…
does he already ask permission from Taeyeon and Kangin?”

“Yes… Mom… right after we boarded,
he talked to Uncle and Auntie…
(goes back to talking with Taemin on the phone)
Mom says fine…
when do you plan to come here…? Next month…?
That early…hold on…
when you say you want to live with us…
you mean for a very long time…?
How about your studies? You will study here…?
Oh…
that’s great! I have someone for a company…cool!
(suddenly becomes quiet and listens to Taemin)
hhhmmm… so he called you as well…
It is no longer a shock to me Taemin…
I know he will follow…

(takes a deep breath) hhhmm…
okay, let me know…
when you’re coming alright…Bye…take care…”
 

“(speaks immediately) Hon…

Curious Tiffany asks...

“Park Hyeong Seop…Mom…”

“Oh…”
