Continuation.........................Cultivate your instinct and use it - a very good help in meeting with people...............

Minho nods and a ragged sigh slips through his lips as he runs a trembling hand through his uncombed hair.

“I am really so sorry too Key for causing a lot of trouble…
I was careless and stupid….
That was why…”

Key nods agreeing to Minho’s statement and places his forefinger on the other’s forehead saying…

“Yyaaahhh…
Minho…
You had me walking on stitches for crying out loud.
What could have been if you know…
What on earth will I say to Uncle Donghae…
You froggie…
(sighs heavily)
Aaaahhhh…
Troublesome Minho…”

Minho remains silent and takes all Key’s lectures in.
It is his fault in the first place.
His selfishness went too far.
Too far to cause harm to Key and his family; he exhales noisily.

“I was plain stupid…
Key…
Please forgive me for the huge trouble I have caused…
(looks around) Hhhmmm…
I know this is a hospital…but…
In which area of Korea is this located…?”

Despite the brevity of the situation, Minho’s mouth tips up with ridiculous amusement.
Key taps both his hands on his knees in disbelief…

“Minho…
You are not in South Korea…”

“(body straightens) UUUhhhh…
What do you mean…?”

“We are in Singapore…”

“Singapore…Singa…
Uuuhh…Why here…?”

“This is where I instantly thought of bringing you.
I trust this hospital…”

“Ooohhh…
I should thank the doctors…Right…?”

“HHHmmm…
Yeah…
They will visit later…
You can thank them…”

Minho excitedly clasps his hands then after gestures towards the window.

“I want to see the view…”

Key immediately goes to help Minho stand and guide the latter by the window but Minho refuses…

“Key… I can manage…
Am strong… Look…!”

Key nods to pacify Minho instead take the hospital overcoat from the latter and walk beside him by the window.
Key glances at Minho who seems so overjoyed at this moment, he wonders…

“Minho…
You look so happy…
What is it…?”

“(turns and look at Key)
Would you like to know what my ultimate dream goal is…?”

“I am interested to know…”

Minho lovingly stares at Key then takes the latter’s hand then says…

“To be here with you…
Where I like most is a quiet place…
Just the two of us…
Spending time together…
Like…hhhmm…
Love…make…
You know…”

Key seriously stares at him admire Minho’s uninhibited open confession.
Loving emotions lace Minho’s words.

“Key…?”

Key jerks as Minho brings him back from his own deep slumber…

“Yeah…?”

“When is our game going to continue…?”

“(chuckles) Fine…
Soon as we get out of here…
Do you like for us to spend it not in Korea…
You may choose a place you want…”

Minho’s blissful demeanor notches to a higher scale.

“(lovingly embraces Key)
Thank you…
How about U.S. of America…Fiji…
Angola…India…Morocco…
Anywhere…”

Key startled by Minho’s action, is left for words but to accept gestures the latter is doing.
Though he must admit, Minho’s embrace is so warm, so gentle and peaceful.
He likes it very much.

“Am happy to provide it…
Fiji is nice…
Amsterdam is also nice…
Where in the U.S….?
Arizona is nice…choose…?”

“Arizona…”

“Or once we get to the U.S., we can go to
several states in the U.S…
You like the idea…?”

“(nodding repeatedly) Yeah…yeah…
That sounds great…
(then all of a sudden) Key…
I want to brush my teeth…Please…”

Key almost burst to laugh at the randomness of Minho.
All of his worries just fly out of the window watching how energetic Minho is.

“Oh…Sure…
Do you like to use the bedpan or you want
to go inside the bathroom…?”

“Bathroom… I need to pee as well…”

“Ok…
That’s good because you need to get rid of
all that pills you took…
I will help you…
Hungry as well…?”

Minho gladly nods like a kid.

“When will I get out from here…?”

“Soon as that dextrose fluid is finished then
we can get out from here…”

“Okay…”
