Chapter 27   -           Entering A New Challenge …

           MinKey’s Getting By and A Cousin?…

Point in time:             More Years Passed….

Location:                    Choi’s Residence…

“Finally, I am done with my College Education, all that I need to do next, is get experience and I am ready… This is for you Kim Kibum… I miss you so much… (body trembling and voice quivering)… Please don’t forget about me…”

Minho surprises Sooyoung, Leeteuk and Taemin when he hands them an envelope saying…

Minho:             Mom, Dad this is my gift for you…

Sooyoung:       What is this?

Leeteuk:          Minho, yeah… is there something wrong?

Minho:             Mom and Dad just open the envelope, please...

As requested, Sooyoung opens the envelope and surprise to see his college certificate – she gasps in surprise, gives it to Leeteuk to see and tightly hugs Minho saying….

Sooyoung:       Oh my god… Minnie… how did you do this… I mean… seriously?

Leeteuk:          (in a surprise tone) Damn, Minnie… you gave me a shock… we have no idea … I am so 
                        proud of son… A certificate in the Field of Architecture… whooaaa… so great…

Minho:             I am glad that you are happy about it… I took an escalator education system and was
                        accelerated and focused really hard to finish each term at a very short period of time… I
                        am just so happy that I have finally done it…

Taemin:           Hyung… wow… this is so great…I am happy for you too…

Minho:             Thanks Tae… and congrats too… you are entering college now…

Taemin:           Thanks Hyung…

Sooyoung:       Are you kidding me? I never thought you had this determination in you… I mean…well…
                        This calls for a celebration… Darling … this instant…

Leeteuk:          Ok…. Let’s head for a great dinner… ready you guys…

In the midst of their discussion and dinner, Sooyoung asks…

Sooyoung:       So Minnie, what is your next plan?

Leeteuk:          Yeah, son, let us know perhaps we can be of help…

Minho:             Mom… I would like to work in a company as soon as possible to gain experience…

Sooyoung:       Dad and I can recommend you to companies we know…

Minho:             No, I prefer to apply using my own strength and skills… it will give me better experience
                        and feeling as to “success and failure”…

Leeteuk:          (taken aback) A-as you wish Minnie…

Sooyoung:       Minnie…  I wish you really best of luck but just in case – you find it impossible to land for a
                        job… please let us know…

Minho:             Thanks Mom… I greatly appreciate both of your help but right now please put your trust in
                        me… I believe I can do it.

Sooyoung:       Minho, Taemin… this is a good time as well to let you know that we; Dad and I, will be
                        meeting with your Aunt Jessica and Uncle Heechul in Paris. We will be leaving next
                        month.

Minho:             Mom… (thinks) are you going to see Bummie?

Sooyoung:       (sighs) I have no idea sweetie… no idea… god… I miss Bummie so much… I wonder how
                        he is… however according to Taeyang; Bummie has been travelling around the world non-
                        stop monitoring and opening new businesses… Dad… I can’t even fathom the idea of
                        Bummie having to carry all of these…

Leeteuk:          There is nothing much we can do about his current situation – there is no person other
                        than Bummie who can handle those enormous businesses of his grandfather… and I am
                        even astounded that he also has his own businesses to handle… Darling, I wonder what
                        kind of life he lives… I mean does he even have time to enjoy his self … now that I am
                        saying it… I think Bummie’s life here was the most fun he has ever had… well…

                        (putting his hand on his chin) I hope we can see Bummie there… same here I want to see
                        him too… I miss him too...

Minho:             (breathes deeply) Bummie… I miss him so much Mom… I miss him… why doesn’t he
                        communicate to us… 

                        (raises his head to look at his mother) Mom do you think Bummie has forgotten us…

                        (hugs Sooyoung)… I have faith though….

Sooyoung:       (pats Minho’s back) I know Minnie… we all do… but Bummie is different from us… he’s so
                        up there… even a lot busier than his parents… I trust and believe that Bummie has not 
                        forgotten you… If ever he has not communicated to all of us – I believe for so many
                        important reasons…

Leeteuk:          (exhales loudly) yeah….

Sooyoung:       But Minnie… I bet Bummie if he gets this information about you – sure is going to be so
                        proud of you… so don’t feel sad alright…? let’s celebrate your early graduation and for
                        your job hunting as well...

Minho:             (smiles) Thank you Mom and Dad… by the way, the foods here are great… I like it so
                        much…

Leeteuk:          (taps Minho’s shoulder) you are welcome son…

They continue eating in silence when suddenly Sooyoung speaks…

Sooyoung:       Gosh… foods are great here…

Taemin:           (interrupst his Mom) Mom, Dad and Hyung… there is something I would like to let you
                        know….

Leeteuk:          (surprised and looks at Taemin) What is it Taeminnie…

Sooyoung:       aahh… Taeminnie… yeah…tell us…

Taemin:           After my graduation… this is this year… I would like to pursue my college taking up
                        several studies in the fields of Arts… like Music, Theater, Visual and other Arts courses 
                        etc….

Sooyoung:       (gasps) hhaa? Taeminnie… wow… that is good….

Leeteuk:          What can I say… Darling… our sons are great… aren’t they…?

Sooyoung:       Taeminnie… you surprised me!!

Minho:             Cool Taemin…

Taemin:           Mom, Dad and Hyung… I am not done yet…

Sooyoung:       okey … fine… Taeminnie… carry on…

Leeteuk:          Ok son… we are listening…

Taemin:           I want to pursue my studies not here but out of the country…

Sooyoung:       (gasps) ha???
