Continuation........................................................Tears are sure to fall when you know...................

After thirty minutes, Key calls out…

“I am finished…come…
hope you like it…”

Minho rushes towards Key and checks the painting then smiles gladly how beautiful the painting is.
What amazes Minho is painting a soccer ball on his feet and Key notices it and says…

“I know you will ask about the ball.
I added it to compliment with your outfit.
You like it…?”

“(nods) Very much…
Can I keep it…?”

“(smiles) Sure…
It is you in the painting…”

Minho gently gets it and puts it on a safe location then goes back to Key as he does not want to miss this opportunity to talk and be with the other.

Minho then thinks of a good idea…

“You can continue painting but is it alright
if I just watch here beside you…?”

“(chuckles) Be a mute muse…
of course, we can talk…”

“(laughs) Okay…”

And meanwhile Mir during that time, he is desperately on a search adventure locating Minho.
Scratching his head while talking to himself…

“Where is Minho-ssi…?
I wonder why every time we play here…
he goes away for some time and come
back to us after thirty minutes…?
What could he be doing?
Minho-ssi is weird…”

So he walks still again, parting small plants with huge leaves and trying so hard to search for Minho.
Mir was about to surrender turns his back away from his search and heads back when he hears laughter from a distance not far away from his location.
Excited hearing Minho’s voice at the vastness of the huge forest where he’s at; he hurriedly runs to follow Minho’s voice but after two seconds gasps to hear another voice aside from Minho.

“I know Minho’s voice clearly
but whose other voice is that…?
Who is he with…?”

So Mir at this time, hurrying, runs and now sees Minho clearly on his sight does not notice the ball in front of him then accidentally hit it in the direction of the boy, who in Mir's amazement and surprise realizes could have been with him as well.
Mir quickly turns his focus on Minho unaware of the other boy at a distant and what follows next is Key’s painting and paint inks falling on the ground whereby with the inks smearing the painting and thus, surprising Key and Minho at the same time.

At this moment, the boy seizes the opportunity of an astounded Key in shock, runs to him and declares…

“Come... Let’s go…
(pointing at Minho) this guy is with...
(pointing at Mir) him planning to ruin your work…
(glares at Minho)
Don’t come near Key.
You are not needed alright…?”

“(shocked Mir) NO!
It was just an accident!”

The boy does not respond but instead grabs Key’s hand and makes a strong pull of the latter dragging Key with him away from still shocked Minho and Mir.
Mir comes back to his senses first, goes to Minho and shakes his body to wake up…

“Minho-ssi…Minho-ssi… hey…!”

“(dazed and confused) Hah!... where is he…?
(surprised at Mir's calling)
What are you doing here…?”

“Am picking you up…
we need to go home… come…”

“Wait… I need to get something…
(gets the painting)”

Mir curious to know what Minho is carrying that as soon as Minho comes close; he lifts the canvass and gasps at finding out who is in the painting…

“Whoaaa…
Minho this is beautiful…!
Did that boy with you painted this…?!
What is his name…?”

“hhhmm… K…
(stops realizing that he wants to keep
Key’s identity secret from his friends)
kay… I just met him just now…
I forgot to ask his name…
(sees Kris) Hold on…
(hands the painting to Mir)
kindly hold on to this – carefully…
I will just inform his companion over there that he has left…”

“Okay…don’t worry about the painting.
I will handle it with care…”

Minho before going to Kris checks on Mir again staring at the painting that Mir puffs and says…

“I said…
I will take care of your lovely painting…
aaaiii…!”

Minho nods and goes to still sleeping Kris, lowers his body and gently wakes the latter…

“Kris hyung…Kris hyung…
wake up….”

Kris half awake surprised to see Minho infront of him quickly asks…

“Where is Sir Key…?”

“Hyung…
a boy our age took him quickly.
I was surprised too.
He is the guy who keeps on visiting Key hyung…
go back quickly…
Auntie might get mad without you by Key’s side…”

“(now fully wide awake)
Aaasshh…
(looks at Minho and bows)
 Thank you Sir Minho…
I will go ahead of you…”

“Okay hyung…take care…
and just let Auntie know that it is me who
Key was with but just whisper it to her though…please…”

“(stands) Okay…bye…
Sir Minho…”

“Bye… hyung see you…!”

Worried Mir moves closer to Minho and says…

“Minho-ssi, It was just an accident,
I was running and I did not see the ball
but what’s strange is;
how can you kick a ball without intentionally kicking it.
I ran over it but not kicked it…
I swear Minho; I did not intentionally kick the ball!”

“(nods) I know Mir… I know…
you do not have to say sorry…
Let’s go… our friends are waiting for us now…”

“Okay… Minho”

As what had Mir assumed during that time when moving in the same intention as him, a boy must had been also in a voyage searching for Key, who probably heard a rumpus of plants movement a few distance away from him.
He must had quietly surveyed the surrounding and followed the sound trail in a belief that perhaps Mir was also in search for Key.

Like a jaguar, he walked without a sound and came along with him a trail of anger or disappointment that started to creep into his veins thinking of him another person in the same mission as his.
He was probably surprised hearing another voice laughing other than the boy he just grabbed that his midlevel anger rise to a full throttle after learning that he was with Minho having fun other than him.

So probably, he walked fast as he could but was trying to hide his presence once he spotted him and was following him from behind then gasped in surprise seeing his friend with Minho sharing a lively conversation and enjoying each others company.
