Continuation...................................If reincarnation is true...how would it be in their shoes............

Suddenly….

“Hi Everyone…”

 Except for Key, everyone freezes – especially Minho.

“It is been awhile…
Am so glad to see you all again…”

“Hi Baby…
Did you have a hard time coming here…?”

“Not really…
Of course, I know how to get here…”

Key approaches Hyeong Seop and greets him with a kiss on the lips.

During this time, Minho does not know what to do.
It was very painful to watch what is going on.
He is quite aware of the very situation and he has already accepted that Key and Hyeong Seop are already married.
Just to manage himself upright – afraid that he might just collapse – leans on the back rest of the chair and calms his nerves down.

Onew and Jonghyun immediately notice Minho’s behavior so that, as a support for him, both move towards Minho.
Jonghyun nudges him while Onew puts his arms around Minho’s waist to keep him steady on his feet.
Minho gets startled with Onew and Jonghyun’s actions that he leaps an inch.

Meanwhile, Hyeong Seop moves away from Key and walks towards Minho with a calculating look.
Onew gently taps Minho’s back then gives Jonghyun a meaningful look.
Thus, few feet away from the incoming Hyeong Seop, Onew and Jonghyun detach from Minho.

Hyeong Seop stands in front of Minho radiating with happiness and contentment…

“It’s been awhile Minho…
I heard you are doing well...
Aside from Onew hyung and Jonghyun hyung,
you are one of my...
(speakes a bit louder) husband’s...
trusted person…
Congratulations…!”

Minho swears that at this very moment, he could have almost cried hearing Hyeong Seop enunciating clearly the word husband.
So he can quickly able to manage himself, diverts his gaze at Onew and Jonghyun and see them both mouthing…

***Fighting…***

Them - two supportive friends and colleagues, help him a bit to counter the awkwardness and pain.
When able, he replies…

“Thank you and am glad that you are doing well too…”

However, instead of responding to Minho, Hyeong Seop glances at Key and says…

“Hon…
Can I have a moment with Minho…?”

“Sure…
(looks at Onew and Jonghyun)
Hyungs…
Let’s go to my room…
Baby… We will be in my office room…
Minho will guide you the way, okay…?”

“Thanks Baby…
This will not take long…”

Hyeong Seop invites Minho to the conference table…

“Let’s be seated…”

“I can see that this is going to be a long talk…”

“(smiling) Short, concise and honest talk…”

Minho is taken aback by Hyeong Seop’s statement, pulls the chair – calming his nerves as he takes his seat.

“Is something the matter…?”

“Nothing Minho…
But there is something I want to know still at this very moment…”

“And what is that…?”

“You still up to now love Key…right…?”

Minho gulps from Hyeong Seop sudden straightforwand questioning, looks away for a moment to gain control and courage then comes back to look Hyeong Seop in the eyes and says…

“I will forever love him no matter what…
But this my love for him does not equate to
ruining your married relationship…
I am happy that he is happy and I have
accepted the fact that me with him are not
meant for each other…”

“Well… Good….
But, no…
If not for my illness, I believe Key would
probably have had a second thought of
marrying me…
Or perhaps…
Never…”

Hyeong Seop pauses and takes a deep heavy breath then continues…

“Anyway, am here to talk to you about a
different case…
But before that, thank you for not messing up
our relationship before…
For love and all it’s worth…
Loving someone and not getting it, is really
painful and I understand you from that point of view...
how love and pain still lingers in your heart…
I apologize for that…
I can still feel the suffering you are enduring up
to this time…
I know…
And understand how you feel…”

Hyeong Seop leans his back on the chair and he too, takes a deep breath and calms himself down.
He looks at Minho, surprised to see the latter’s chest movement so fast.

Both of them could feel the tension rising.
Minho breaks the ice.

“Thank you then…”
