Night before the Departure
Kim and Choi’s Residences
Minho and Key

Key’s Residence
With Tiffany and Taemin

Key relaxing inside Tiffany’s room by the balcony watching stars gleaming enjoying the view – too focused that he does not notice Tiffany with Taemin coming inside the room and pausing just to observe him.

“Auntie…
Do you think Key will be happy with Park…?”

“Or Minho…
If I may add…
The fact of where your question leads to…
Truthfully…?”

“Sorry Auntie…Yes…”

“It is fine Taeminnie…
Let me tell you something…
But if you could keep it to yourself for the time being,
I would appreciate it a lot…”

Taemin to his surprise looks at Tiffany in a concerning manner and intrigued by what she meant.
He replies…

Taemin:          I respect that Auntie…
                      You can trust me…

Tiffany:            (looks and smiles at Taemin then looks back at Key)
                        Key and Minho were friends back when they were kids.
                        Key, in fact, introduced Park to Minho.
                       After some weeks, I didn’t know what happened.
                       I did not see Minho coming to our house anymore and
                       Key hating Minho for some reason I knew nothing about.
                       Minho has been so nice and loveable as a kid and now...?
                       Is still very nice and sweet.
                       I didn’t know what happened between him and Key.
                      Am still clueless up to now.

Taemin:          How about Uncle Donghae…
                       Does he know anything...?

Tiffany:            I swear to my soul that I am trying so much to dig up
                        something from his lips but he just would not talk.
                        And I don’t know why…
                        It is as if he is trying to protect something or someone…
                        Up to now, am still trying to know the reason behind…

Taemin:          How about Minho…?

Tiffany:            I did not and have not tried asking Minho…
                        I want to but I just thought that if I could not get an
                       answer from his Dad…
                       It would somehow go the same way with Minho and it is
                       not about something that I have the privilege to ask but
                       it is more like I would have to wait for Minho to tell me
                       what happened when they were kids since he was the
                       one with Key and Park that time…
                       Well…am almost getting frustrated and just give it up…
                       But I love Minho too…you know…

Taemin:          So it means like from what you are saying…
                       It shows that you like Minho thanPark…

Tiffany:            (sigsh) AAAaahhhh…
                       Yes…But I owe Park’s family a lot…

Taemin:          How come Auntie…?
                       According to Mom and Dad, Uncle was a
                       very successful businessman…
                       I am confused right now that you are saying that you
                       owe Park’s family…
                       Am confused…

Tiffany:            Yes…
                        Your Uncle was...or how shall I say this...
                        Continuously successfull...
                        But that time, he invested in a business partnering with Park’s father.
                        The total investment to start the business was so big
                        that if it didn’t work, we would have lost everything…
                        And that would mean, Key’s future…

Taemin:          So what made you be owed to Park’s family…then…?

Tiffany:            Park’s family took care of us after your Uncle’s death…
                       Cause I did not know what to do at that time…
                        I was into a different field and did not know what to do
                       with that huge investment in the business…
                        I was vulnerable that time…
                       Park’s family helped me especially Key’s future…
                       They were very nice to us by not taking advantage of
                        the situation even that time your Uncle invested mostly
                       like 75% of the entire project…
                       And that, I am very thankful up to now…
                       Especially now that Key is more than wealthier even
                       combined my and Park’s family’s assets…

Taemin:          (gasps) That’s how successful Key is…?

Tiffany:            And Key does not even realize it or even asks about it…
                        And that, I very am grateful for Onew for taking care of
                        Key’s business affairs.
                        Because to be honest, a person like Onew is so rare in this world.
                        Almost like Park’s Dad – very honest and straight.
                        Key is a silent billionaire…
                        It is funny if I say it again that he does not know it…
                        Key is such a sweet natured person…
                        Very thoughtful and generous but with a straightforward
                        character – that could go far extreme…
                        I think you have seen that a lot from Key, right…?

Taemin:          (nods) Yeah…but not to me…
                       Talking about that…
                        I wanted to know what came about Key’s personality or behavior…
                        Cause when he is with Onew, Jonghyun and especially
                        with me; Key is totally different – exactly how you
                        described him Auntie…

Tiffany:            I can pose a lot of reasons and one of them is that,
                        back in New York, Key had been a target of series of
                        kidnapping attempt.
                        Of him, being an only son and an heir at that of a large
                        business enterprise.
                        In addition, as Key grew and found himself at a very
                        early age what he was good at and gotten more so better
                        as the years passed by.
                        Adding to that was the pressure of being recognized around the world
                        and up to now, makes him all the more in living toes.
                        Another remote possibility could be, I think probably
                        because of past behaviour that no matter if you had no
                        recollection of your past – comes out naturally from time to time…
                        Key’s life has been tough.
                        If I could have been in his shoes, I don’t know how to
                        put trust in my life and luckily Key has Onew, Jonghyun and you…
                        Thanks Taeminnie…
                        I know that you love Key more than a cousin and
                        I understand that and to be honest Key’s personality
                        can make anyone falter and go straight to fall deeply for him…
