Continuation...................................................................as promised.......................excuse my errors...sob sob sob...

The following day………..still at the Kim’s residence….

Kibum’s wake up fully dressed up and smelling fresh all over, wondering how it happened but feels that it must have Minho who took care of clothing him while asleep thus he his face to find out that he is alone thus calls Minho…

“Minnie… Minnie… are you there?”

When nobody answers, Kibum gets up from the bed and inspects all corners of his huge room – once checked, he goes back to his bed and sees a letter on top of the table – gets it and reads…

My Beloved Bummie,

I am very sorry that I took advantage of you. I feel so bad when I think that I have hurt you
who I love and care so deeply in my entire life of existence.  You are the most important
person in my life – I apologize for my mistakes and if heaven allows that we meet again,
I would do whatever it takes for you to understand how sorry I am.

             Just so you know, I will always remember those first “Times”;

• your first ever sweetest smile you selflessly had given me;
• you said “Hi” that I ended up not responding to you at all not because I didn’t like it
  but I was tongue-tied and captured by your beauty;
• I received a wonderful gift from you – I didn’t expect it to be so grand – a simple toy
  could have been alright but nevertheless I was very happy;
• I held your hands and you wrapped your arms around me; you rested your head
  on my shoulder;
• I kissed you;
• I saw your cute pout and whine… :D

We have so many wonderful beautiful memories and I intend to keep them alive in my heart,
mind and soul for this is my undying love for you. I wish that someday you will feel exactly
the same way.

If ever or even though given the years things will never be the same again – I will still love you,
nevertheless, I have great hope deep in my heart that one day my abiding love – will lead you
back to me - this is my continuing wish.

Please don’t forget me. I will try to be good on my own so I can be with you. No matter what
happens… I will never regret loving you… still endlessly wishing to be with you…

              I love you…always and forever…

Choi Minho a.k.a. Minnie… …

P.S.

I am sorry again, that I won’t be with you this afternoon for your departure for Paris.
I don’t know what will happen to me watching you leave… Bummie, I can’t bear it…
please forgive me….

“Stupid Minnie…stupid… Why, do you have to decide on your own?”

“Why not give me a chance to answer you”

“Seriously, Minnie… so stupid but I am not mad and I wish you are true to your word…”

Kibum’s replies, then folds the letter and keeps it inside his bag and touches his cheek – surprised to feel wet, he runs to the washroom and check – astounded to see tears streaming down on his face…

He wipes it and wonders why…

Then moves on … preparing his things for this afternoon’s flight…

Choi’s Mansion

Hours before separation, Sooyoung and Leeteuk could not stop from feeling lonely and empty – they find it so hard to even imagine that everything has to for the meantime be apart from the Kim’s who has become a part of their daily lives. Sooyoung feels it, like spring has come to an end and autumn will reign over for so many years – so she says,

Sooyoung:       Darling, I can’t bear to be apart with the Kim’s (voice quivering) … I don’t know what to do
                        – they have been a part of us for almost fourteen years and this, happening again… god…
                        It would feel so empty…

Leeteuk:          (sympathizing with his wife) I know how you feel dear… I too, am feeling down… They are
                        like family to us…

Sooyoung:       That reminds me too… I don’t know how our kids can handle being separated from Kibum
                         for god knows how many years…especially Minho… they both grew up together and
                         always have been together… I am afraid…Teukkie…

Leeteuk:          (sighs) that, exactly, is my greatest concern right now… but for Taemin – he is emotionally
                        strong compare to Minho because I guess he is still so young or perhaps he is just more of
                        the accepting type…

Sooyoung:       Minnie told me that he won’t be joining us today sending the Kim’s off …. Aaaiiisshh… this
                        is just so sad….

Leeteuk:          (shakes his head) just let it be dear…. Let’s respect what he feels – he might have a very
                        good reason why he decided not to…

Sooyoung:       (fixes her dress) Dear… let’s go… I will wait for you outside, I will just call on Taemin…
                        and Mr. Kikwang, ok?

Leeteuk:          Ok dear… I will follow in a minute…
