Continuation..............................................4th page update...................thinking.....and..........thinking...............

Taemin:          (eyebrows up looks back at Tiffany)
                       Yes Auntie…?

Tiffany:            How much do you think Key’s book cost…?
                       This is not to exaggerate.
                       This is a fact but let’s just keep these information secret.
                       And so to continue, for your information
                       the number of copies printed is limited.
                     
                       5,000 pieces each book type are printed worldwide
                       meaning 10,000 pieces  all in all …

                       you see…just enough to cover
                       I think extremely passionate in arts clients of his.
                       Funny thing is even his global clients are still his book customers.
                       So let see, he has like conservatively 3,000 clients for paintings
                       and 2,000 clients for sculptures worldwide...
                       
                       and perhaps more than.
                       I don’t keep track – Onew is the one who keeps records of Key’s clients.
                      These are boundless spenders but previously,
                       they do not know each other and so due to this book
                       they have finally put a face on each of the buyer's name.
                       Plus, Key holds annual sponsored parties for arts enthusiasts – originally,
                       it was planned to be all shouldered by Key.
                       It is held in a place that is quite and unfamiliar
                       but definitely so serene, beautiful, and majestically wonderful.
                       
                       But top companies had learned about his plan
                       so they would sponsor every Key’s event and
                       sponsoring is only limited to two companies at every event.
                       I have other things to tell you but now…
                       since you are a businessman Taeminnie…
                       your previous guess was …hhhmm...understated...?
                       Now, recompute according to what I have just stated…

Teamin:          (gaping finally recovering) hhmmm… Let me see…
                       Arts don’t come cheap, packaging,
                       buyer's identification, limited edition and Key’s being the author.
                       I say around… let see…
                       each picture would probably cost around…
                       let me say, U$5,000.00 plus Key’s clients name
                       and the packaging…
                       would be around U$100,000…

Tiffany:            (gasps) Wwhhooaa…
                       Taeminnie, you really are a businessman…
                        nice costing though…
                        The price of the book is a quarter of a million US dollars….

Taemin almost spit his drink upon hearing how much Key’s book cost…

“Oh my god… Auntie… Key…?”

Key silent at all times giggles at Taemin’s reaction while Tiffany laughs out loud.
And still Taemin has not recovered from his condition that he adds…

“Wow… you mean… oh my goodness…
that’s a billion in profit for just 5,000 pieces book…
with all my businesses combined am not even 
close to a quarter of a billion in profit…
(looks at Tiffany) You too… Auntie…
how many times does he publish?”

“(nods) Me too… Taeminnie…
all my business combined… it does not…
Key publishes biennially.
There has been request to at least publish every
 but he did not approve of it.
And we are only talking about his…
(raises hands to gesture quote and unquote)
“other than” paintings and sculptures plus
his partnership with so many schools worldwide plus
his highly paid interviews which he did not ask but
every media entities wanting to interview him pays
with an agreement his face out of sight…
so tell me Key…
you may not be covering a lot of business activities
like Taemin but bottom line is when it comes down
to revenue results – darn it…
(kisses Key and speaks louder) YOU GOT IT KEY!
(lowers voice down) and how come you act like so unaffected…?”

Key looks at each of them and simply smile and shrugs off his shoulders that Taemin lost for words utters…

“I HATE YOU KEY!...
oh my gosh…
I do hate you a lot…
why are you so fantastic…?
Damn… gifted animal…”

“(nods) I agree… Taeminnie…
my dearest son, Key’s favorite expressive relevant facial expression…
shoulders up and puffs…aaahhh… “

Tiffany gasps remembering Key’s life living style, she says…

Tiffany:            (taps Taemin) You know what more Taemin…
                        What possessions do you think Key owns…?

Taemin:          (b in confident replies)
                       Of course, Auntie, Key though he does tell me anything
                        in that matter;
                        I believe he owns houses in various areas, cars, and
                        other properties, lots of jewelry and so
                        I presumed he must have bought those right...?

Tiffany:            (laughs so hard) Oh… ha…ha…ha…
                        Taeminnie…
                        do you always equate possessions in proportion to
                        someone’s profession or earning status…?
                        That’s rather a pretty interesting view…
                        (shakes her head) Nope…

Taemin:          (gasps) But you told me Auntie,
                       Key owns properties, cars, lots of exquisite jewelry, etc…
                       abroad even Manors in some areas around the world…
                       Is he not living a decadent life…?

Tiffany:            Key lives or I mean has been living a decadent life.
                        Of course but if given a chance he would probably do
                        things on his own but when he works;
                        he tends to forget his environment and be drown in his
                        own mystical world of art…
                        What I have told you before is true but he did not buy
                        them except of course his business properties
                        but other things – NO!
                        They all came as gifts…

Taemin:          (chokes on his own saliva coughs)
                       ough…ough… WHAT!! GIFTS!!
                       AUNTIE…EEEEHHHH!

Tiffany:            (sighs) Am not kidding…
                        These ultra egoistic people that love arts like their life,
                        do not mind giving something just to be prioritized by
                        Key ... am amazed myself...but..yeah...

Taemin:          (looks at Key) So if they give you these gifts,
                       do you give discount…?

Tiffany:            (interrupts) NO!
                        He does not.
                        That is how Key is so confident about his works…

Taemin:          (finished eating) Auntie… I think I need to lie down…
                       am getting dizzy with all these information.
                       Auntie, I have underestimated Key.
                       Well, of course, I previously knew how from one of his
                       clients that is my customer and you telling me Auntie
                       how much his painting would cost.
                       I was really shocked to be honest
                       after telling me the cost… but really…
                       these other than his paintings and sculptors …
                       overwhelmed me…

Tiffany:            (giggles) Ooohh…
                        exact reaction I was having back then… anyway… 
                        (looks at Key) So Key, be prepared of their arrival alright.
                        If you need me to prepare...
                        why not, I can ask our Kris and the rest to prepare
                        something as a welcome greeting…

Key rarely spoken the entire time lies his back against the chair, looks blankly at a wall speaking in wonder…

Key:                I wonder what they need to tell me
                       that they cannot send it via mail.
                       Mom, didn’t they tell you why…?

Tiffany:            (shrugs off shoulders) Sorry hon… Onew-ssi did not.
                        Probably not to break an element of surprise or perhaps
                        it is something that needs your suggestion or
                        it is only meeting you, a chance of approving it, is possible…
                        I suppose…

Key:                (takes a deep breath) hhhmm…
                       I hope it is not about joining a competition
                       as I expressed my refusal the last time we discussed about it…

Taemin:          Well… I would like to meet Onew and Jonghyun
                       so I am looking forward to it but…
                       (looks at Key) why don’t you longer want to join competition…?

Key:                (acts casually) Don’t you it is time not to…?
                       I have been in the competition like three times…

Taemin:          (gasps) Gosh Key! Three times is nothing.
                       In your 15 years as a professional painter, 3 times is nothing.
                       Others join competition whenever wherever they want,
                       to gain recognition and clients.
                       You will never know what will happen as a result and Key,
                       never limit your clients to just 5,000.
                       Add more...!

Key:                (sighs) We will see…
