The Canvass and The BallChapter 2
Key’s School Life
New Faces
Minseok University
“Unlock to the person you are not familiar with,
no matter how inconsequential the contact,
all the concern and gentleness and thoughtful and love that you can gather,
and do it with no thought of reward.”
Donghae with Tiffany who is driving the car looks at Donghae beside her and says…
“Donghae…
What’s the name of the president…?”
“He is Mr. Kim Eunhyuk. He is a friend of ours.
Don’t you remember him…?”
“No… I do not have a good memory…
I am sorry”
Donghae: (sadly smiles) It is alright.
I know how you have been busy.
I have been following you thru others since
you and Key left this place…
Tiffany: (gives out a short laugh) Yeah… those times,
it usually comes back every now and then… It’s true.
Life has been busy in New York. But, it is enjoyable.
Donghae: Are your businesses still running up there…?
Tifanny: Yes… I am lucky to employ trustworthy people.
Donghae: (nods repeatedly) That’s good…
(points at a parking lot) There park there.
Eunhyuk is probably waiting for us.
Tiffany: Oh really?
Donghae: Yes… I called him up yesterday…
As they reach Eunhyuk’s office, Donghae enters and greeted instantly by Eunhyuk without seeing Tiffany yet…
“Hi Donghae…”
“Good morning…Eunhyuk…
Thank you for this…”
Eunhyuk: Don’t mention. Anytime…
(and turns looking and searching)
Hae… is she here…? It’s been a long time…
I remember…
Donghae: (cuts in) She’s in the reception area.
She requested just to wait.
Eunhyuk: (gasps) Hae… geezz… don’t ask her to wait.
Let’s go see her…
By the way, it is an honor for this school for someone
famous like his son to enroll here…
Donghae: Yeah…
(then pauses) But…
Hyuk, just to let you know, about Key, even my son,
Minho does not know Key’s background…
I just asked permission from Tiffany
to inform you about this confidential information.
Please remember that, ok…?
Eunhyuk: (gasps) Oh really… Sorry… I was just excited…
Donghae: (smiles) It is fine.
Both of them are famous
but her son is more famous globally.
Eunhyuk: (“O” lips) My…. This is awesome…
(sees Tiffany) Oh…there she is …
(taps Donghae’s shoulder) Wow…
she is still so beautiful… Man…you must really…
Donghae: (nudges Eunhyuk) Here she is…behave dude…
Tiffany: (smiles politely) Hello Mr. Eunhyuk…am Tiffany,
Key’s mother who is soon to be in your school.
Eunhyuk: Nice to meet you Ms. Tiffany...
Sorry to keep you waiting…
Tiffany: (shakes her head) Oh… No…. Don’t worry…
(hands the registration form)
Here’s the Registration Form for Key...
I trust my son will have a grand time in your school…
Eunhyuk: Definitely… He will have a great time.
We have a course that best suit his talent…
but to be honest, I do not know if who’d be the student
between the professor and Key…
Tiffany: (laughs) Key knows that in school he will just be an
ordinary student that will listen and respect professors.
But like what I have told Donghae, please keep his
identity secret and if it happens later on that Key will be
known then let’s just wait how Key will react…
if you must…
Eunhyuk: (nods) You can count on me Ms. Tiffany…
by the way, I would like to give you a short tour and
show later on the whole sort of blueprint with pictures
on corresponding areas.
Tiffany: (willingly smiles) Sure why not…
Where shall we start…?
Eynhyuk: (smiles) Of course, your son’s interest.
Fine Arts, especially famous in the country;
our Art Galleries…
Tiffany: (surprised) That’s nice…Let’s go then…
Back at Home
Tiffany and Key
Dining Table Discussion
“What did you just say Mom…?”
“Sweetie, you are not even listening to me…”
“I am so sorry Mom…
Perhaps, someone is just thinking so much of
me that I kind of drifted…”
“Okay… What I just said was that,
you are registered as an irregular fourth year
student choosing only subjects related to your field…
And it is up to you whether you would like to
add more…”
Key simply nods and continues eating - in his own world like how Tiffany would see him back in New York.
“Sweetie are you alright…?”
“(surprised and wriggles his head)
Oh… am sorry Mom… Oh… the school…
I think it will be fine…
(poses a more serious look)
After one year of not being in New York,
I guess things will be alright when we come back there - our home…
is my assumption right Mom…?
“Are you that in a hurry to go back in New York…?
Life might be better here…”
“I don’t think so. Life here is boring…
but that is just my early conclusion and
(lifts shoulders) yeah, perhaps…
it might get better…”
“Trust me sweetie, it will…
You need to go tomorrow to get your
documents and your schedules prepared by
the president himself…”
“(gasps) Mom… come on!
I could have done it myself.
That’s embarrassing Mom!”
“Well… Mr. Eunhyuk, the school president was
more pleased to that for you.”
“Mom did you just tell them about me…?”
“Have to sweetie but only your
Uncle Donghae and Mr. Eunhyuk….
(thinks suddenly and suggests)
I will go with you…okay?”
“(smiles gladly) Thanks Mom…”
