Continuation...............................................sorry... i need to read at least 7 chapters before this one coz there was one time... i kind of overlapped three 
                                                                                                        chapters wherein several passages from those updates had, however, already appeared so that i did rehash
                                                                                                        some part of the stories...tho.. it wouldn't be a surprise coz it'd happen many times....

Meanwhile, Kibum and Taemin steps out of the hotel smoothly free from hassles – Kibum highly elated grabs Taemin arms in glee and pulls him for a run.  Kibum totally unconscious of people staring at him smiles back at them; like kids, they go for a stroll along the avenues and just having fun, eating street foods and having themselves pictures taken. Kibum seeing the pictures laugh at how he looks like…

Kibum:             oh my god, Taeminnie, you did a good job… I really look like some old hog…

Taemin:           (surprised) oh really… I thought I might make you mad. (sighs) now… am happy that you 
                        like it… 

Kibum:             (surprised and smiles) Of course, like this making me mad? Of course not... both of you 
                        really did an outstanding job … it really is good… and what you let me wear is even
                        ridiculous… baggy pants in suspender… aaaccckkk… can I keep this picture… 

Taemin:           can we have another picture taken, I want to keep one for myself as well.. 

Kibum:             (nods and calls the street photographer) one more please… 

Taemin:           Bummie can we go for cup of coffee… and relax… before we purchase… 

Kibum:             sure… come… (points at a very expensive popular coffee shop – Café Ressorts) 

When they enter the coffee shop, all of the customers are surprised to see an ugly looking guy tugging a younger man along…Some customers can be heard talking in disgust…

“uughh.. who is that a pedo?”

“Oh man, il est laid” (T/N: He's ugly)

"Que fait-il avec un jeune homme?" (T/N: what's he doing with a young guy)

“What a shame”

Taemin hearing all these unknown remarks panics though he doesn’t understand a word they say but looking from these prying eyes – he understands a bit of what they are trying to express. He pulls Kibum’s arms for no reason… 

Kibum nonchalantly pulls Taemin’s arms and chooses a table near to the counter area and calls for one of the staffs, who’s kind of irritated upon seeing his physical appearance however Kibum notices it, dismisses his unprofessional behavior. Unaffected, Kibum continues with his mission of requesting to call for the coffee shop’s manager, the staff grumpily follows his request and suddenly the shop manager goes out smiling but surprised as to who is this fellow that called for him. The impervious manager smiles and asks for Kibum’s request,

Shop Mgr:       (speaks in English) What can I do for you sir? 

Kibum:             can we both have kopi luwak and two pieces of AS mince pies.

At the same time, all of the customers turn their faces to look at Kibum in full astonishment and Taemin so uneasy of the unwelcoming behavior, starts to fidget…Murmurings are becoming a bit louder and discriminating…

“Regardez-le, est-il fou?” (T/N: Look at him, is he crazy)

“Oh my freaking god, does he know how much is he ordering?”

“yeah… … costing nine thousand pounds a straight 10,000 ing US dollars”

“Que est-il (T/N: who’s he) ? A millionaire? Look how too pauper they appear?”

Shop Mgr:       (a bit hesitant however maintains his composure and smiles) S’il vous plait attendez une
                        minute, monsieur (and walks away scratching his head)… (English T/N: Please wait a
                        minute, sir)..... 

Kibum:             Thank you very much… 

Taemin:           (surprised) Key what did you just say? I hear them saying a “costing 10,000 US Dollars –
                        what was that? 

Kibum:             (lifts his hand and waves his hands in an inward manner) Taeminnie… come closer… 

Taemin:           (surprised) yeah… what is it? 

Kibum:             (whispering) just act natural… I just want to have a little fun… be natural ok… look the
                         customers are so annoyed of my presence coz I look ridiculous and tugging you along
                         causes additional leaps to their anxiety pressures… (chuckles and winks).... 

Taemin:           (giggles, true to what Key stated, he turns his face left and right and sees that the people
                        are continuously talking in disgust about them) yeahhh… this sure is going to be a lot of
                        fun (goes back to his sitting position acting natural)… 

Kibum:             (giggles) just watch…. Don’t worry about the cost…

The Shop Manager comes back personally delivering Kibum’s orders and asks if the latter wants more and when stated enough, he courteously walks away. The first staff who previously approached them along with the other staffs, asks his manager in shock with the whole scenario…

1^stStaff:          Sir, do you know what you are doing? That man is a pauper – just look at him! 

Shop Mgr:       (furrows his eyebrows on his staff) Be professional and don’t judge the book by its cover…
                        He is probably a tourist who is just enjoying life – we are already noted as discriminating
                        people, so don’t add fuel to the fire, understand? And the same goes to all of you… 

1st Staff:         (frustratedly follows) yes sir…
