Continuation..............................................1st Page for today's update...hi everyone...............................

Minho finally realizing that he has just made a slip of the tongue moment just because all the while he thought that he had somehow discussed this endless issue of his admiration for Key since they were kids with his father- has become tongue-tied.

His secret has filled every corner of his entire being, packing up his veins ready to burst out any moment now that his mind and heart are urging him to let it out, but unfortunately, he could not say a word.

"Son... I am waiting...
I am your father, the only person
who can understand and help you and no other...
If you feel that I am stressing you out...
We can just let it go and ignore it - as you wish but
I am just letting you know that I am just here...okay...?

Donghae understanding his son's predicament slowly gets up from the chair and about to walk away from Minho, when suddenly...

Minho:             (holds Donghae hand) Hey... Dad...
                        you have not told me about what you were
                        supposed to tell me...

Donghae:       Oh...
                       (smiles looking back to Minho and sings)
                       ~We're on the right track~ 

                       (and goes back to sit down beside Minho)
                       Finally, for the second and final time...
                       (makes a holy face gesture) This is your Angel
                       willing to listen to anyone's confession...
                       please speak... 

Minho:             Dad...let's get serious now...or I won't share...
                        (exhaling loudly)...

Donghae:       Okay...am serious now...tell me...
                       what is it that has been I assume been
                       bothering you for a long time now...
                       that I am aware of it cause you do like... I mean...
                       have been watching our neighbour's house
                       for years and years now.

Minho:             (looks at Donghae) Dad...
                       I assume you know Aunt Tiffany’s son, don't you?

Donghae:       Of course...!
                       It is Kibummie, Key, Kibum, Bummie...who else...

Minho:             (tapping Donghae's hand) Yes... yes...
                        Dad... it is him...

Donghae:       (nods repeatedly) Yes... I know it is him...
                       He is a pretty good looking kid as far as I can remember...
                       (looks at Minho surprisingly)
                       And so, what about Kibummie...?

Minho feels that this time he has hit the breaking point.

He has been struggling for years hiding what he feels, just barely paying attention to his own gut feel and wondering how he could possibly go on keeping it within himself and not trusting that perhaps his father might be the one whom he can share this overflowing feeling and yet burdening issues at the same time with.

As if like getting off tangent from the habitual of life's daily routine, Minho sliding his hand across lips, forehead and cheeks like preventing his sweat to generously pour down his face, inhales and says...

"I have been in love with him Dad...
since we were kids...
and the reason for my traveling abroad
to pursue with my studies..."

"Wait... son... what...? you love Tiffany's son...?"

Minho:             (bows his head) Yes... Dad... 
                        I am like this... your son... in love with a man...

Donghae:       (inhales) hhhmm... why I am not surprised...

Minho:             (astounded) What do you mean?

Donghae:       (brushing both of his hands on his thighs)
                       No wonder everyday you seat by the windowpane
                       desperately waiting for something to happen at our
                       neighbor's house especially that....
                      (pointing blindly at Kibum's room)
                      room belonging to Key just opposite your room.
                      At first, I was like asking myself...
                      "What on earth is he doing sighing endlessly
                      watching Key's room" but I kind of ignored it
                      and moved on and accepted your weird ways of missing your friend.

MInho:             (still with his face down embarrassed to face his father)
                        Dad... are you all right with your only child son being in
                        love to the same ?

Donghae:       Love applies to anyone...
                      Love is universal, it chooses no one to fall in love with...
                      Minho... you need to know that...
                      Love crosses boundaries...
                      And so I am fine with it...
                      and infact, I like Kibummie very much....but...

Minho:             (face lifts up smiling and asks) But... Dad?

Donghae:       (pokes at MInho) I hope hee feels the same way like you do...

Minho:             (nods) Yeah... that's my problem...

Donghae:       (patting Minho's arm) But anyway....
                       If you need my help, just let me know...
                       and back to my own purpose... if I tell you the news...
                       are you going to really stop pursuing to travel abroad...?

Minho:             (nods repeatedly) Well...because...
                        you are a great Dad and also because I greatly
                        appreciate your acceptance of my weirdness...
                        so tell me...

Donghae:       (takes a deep breath) Brace yourself son...
                       here is it... Your or our neighbour...
                       Auntie Tiffany and Kibummie will be coming back
                       next week...So that...hhhmmm...
                       (check his watch) Today is Thursday,
                       they will leave at the same day Thursday next week.
                       They will arrive the following day - in the afternoon
                       between 4:30 to 5:30.
                       So be prepared son...
                       We will welcome them...Oh... I wish your sister, Jessica
                        comes home...

Minho:             (dumbfounded and shocked) Howwaa...
                       How...How did you know..?

Donghae:       (smirking) How did I know? Tiffany called me.

"Hah..."

"yes...son...double that aha moment of yours...
(pats Minho's shoulder and says)
Good luck with your love...
I will help and support you..."
