They are now gathered at the living area seated on the coach.
Kris and Suho look at each other then nod at the same time.

“We are here as per Sir Key’s request – he
apologizes in advance if it appears to be a troublesome
demand but Sir Key really wants you to keep half
of his paintings…”

Donghae jerks backward surprised by Kris statement…

“Are you sure…?”

“Yes, Sir Donghae…
Sir Key wants to let Ken or Minho-ssi keeps all of them…
(pauses wondering) but do you have a place
where we can be able to arrange them properly…?”

Donghae nods gladly and points up…

“Our attic is currently empty as we recently
transferred everything to our stock room.
 We can use that…”

Kris and Suho smiles in gladness then the latter speaks…

“Yes… They are all beautiful…
Sir Key is going to New York to further his love of
painting and sculpting.
He will be taught by famous respected artists…”

Donghae heaves a deep breath and excitedly stands up and says…

“Where are the paintings…?
Please bring them all in here…
we will take care arranging them and well, of
course maintain them.
(looks back at Kris and Suho)
But do you have idea how to maintain them,
I mean how are we supposed to clean them…?”

Suho extends the letter to Donghae saying…

“Sir Key wrote the instructions on how to properly maintain paintings…”

“Oh… alright then…
can we now start, do you need help bringing the
paintings in…?”

“No, no need, we can manage…”

Minho stands up as well and moves to the main door then looking back at Kris, Tao and Donghae…   

“Suho hyung, Kris hyung do you both have
an idea how many paintings did you bring,
I remember Key saying that
he has like more than a hundred of them…?”

Suho and Kris get up to get the paintings then Suho responds…

“We brought 70 pieces of them the remaining are inside
Ma’m Tiffany’s and Key’s room and some other paintings
they will bring all of them in New York…”

Donghae and Minho gasp checking the painting one by one.
They could not get much happier as all of the paintings are just so magnificent.

“Oh my gosh… these are all beautiful…
wow… I never knew Key at young age could be this amazing…
(looks at Suho and Kris) Is it alright, if we hang
some of his works anywhere inside of our house
aside from keeping all of them in the attic room…?
What do you think Suho, Kris…?”

“I think it is fine…”
Replies Suho…

Minho shakes his head in disbelief how he had easily forgotten about these paintings Key entrusted him, he thinks,

“Does he know now that I have all of his paintings
when he was a kid; I even took the liberty of
getting all of his painting from his house to be kept all in here.
Wow… time flew so fast that I kind of forgot all
about these paintings being kept in here…
Dad must have really made it a point to regularly
keep them fine…”

Minho in clasps hands gets inside to have a look of each Key’s painting.
He doesn’t know anything about interpreting painting nor any works of art but somehow he could feel some sense of connection to most of the paintings he has seen.

Some paintings make him happy; some sad and other paintings make him wonder and think.
Minho ends up teary while smiling… says to himself,

“Wow… this is amazing…
I never really paid attention to the message of
what these painting convey maybe because I was
still a kid that time but now, I have some sort of an
understanding. And darn, Key is really good even as a young age.
Now, it dawn on me how my Dad felt during that time…
when he acted so overpowered by all of these…”

Minho bends his head back and closes his eyes.
He could hear the silent effects, as if wanting to feel the energy Key had put in to every canvass he had painted.

“It would be nice to be surrounded by your wonderful energy Key…
an embrace perhaps…”

He lets out a deep gratifying sigh and together with the wonderful soothing energy surrounding the room, Minho drifts to sleep…

The Following Night
Key and Taemin
Minho

“Key…Key…
(whines) School …
I did not know this is how tiring it is to go to school…
assignments to be done, reports to finish…
oh what a major …!”

Key laughs at Taemin’s complain.

“Am almost beat up Key…”

“Well… Taeminnie…
you can always drop out if you are having a major
breakdown while continue running your businesses…
which wonders me why do you have to study when
you don’t have to…”

“(groans kicking his feet wildly)
Aaahhh…
Of course, where Key is Taemin is…
and life is a bore without having you by my side 
Key…”

“Oh dear…
so I am one of your life’s major impact…!”

“Love of my life infact…”
