Continuation..............................................................................thanks..............................

Meanwhile, Jessica satisfied with the whole arrangement sits near Taemin and Onews’ location and thanks the building manager saying…

Jessica:           Kindly just make sure that the penthouse is well-maintained you will never known when my
                        son comes for a sudden visit… this building is very convenient for him to travel from within
                        whole downtown Paris…ok?

Bldg. Mgr.:      (smiles excitedly) Yes Ms. Jessica…

Upon hearing Kibum’s name, Taemin’s face lifts up and his heart starts to beat faster… he bows his head to control his anticipation thus unknowingly he turns his face to Onew and says…

Taemin:           Hyung… I think I will be alright here… I like it…

Onew:             (bewildered by Taemin’s sudden change of behavior just smiles) oh… then it is good 
                       then… I look forward to your coming back by next week…ok?

Taemin:           (smiles cutely and hugs Onew) Hyung… I am so excited… really…

Then suddenly Jessica calls Taemin…

Jessica:           Taeminnie…

Taemin:           Yes… Auntie?

Jessica:           Would you like to check some bikes? We can go and check some if you want while we are
                        already here…

Taemin:           (tongue-tied) hhmm… Auntie… Fine… if it is alright…

Jessica:           (hugs Taemin) Oh… baby… you just don’t know how Bummie called me up so suddenly
                        just to remind me not to forget giving it to you while he was away… He will be very
                        happy… if you accept it...

Taemin:           (elated) Thank you Auntie…

Jessica:           (calls everyone) everyone, let’s go and check some bikes for Taeminnie…

The night comes - at the terrace area- while Jessica, Heechul and Onew excuse themselves for an important errand; Sooyoung and Leeteuk request everyone to gather to discuss the sudden plan that will be occurring soon. While Jonghyun is so relax but curious; Minho and Taemin are both feeling anxious and concerned prepare themselves to listen what their parents have to say…

  Leeteuk:          First Taemin… we are very happy about your plans and next week you will be studying 
                          here in Paris to pursue your dreams... given your condition, your Mom and I are at
                          peace…              

                          Second Minho, I have complete trust in you that you can manage your life on your own,
                          you are we seem pretty mature and be able to handle challenges… we too feel that
                          you are just going to be fine…

Minho:             (puzzled, replies) Dad, Mom you are making us nervous, what is it all about?

Leeteuk:          Mom will explain everything to you…

Sooyoung:       Daddy and I will be working with your Aunt Jessica and Uncle Heechul in a huge project 
                        due to its immenseness that they requested for us to join in…

Minho:             (gasps) whoa… awesome Mom Dad…

Sooyoung:       (smiles) and we are very happy coz previously we kind of hesitated... how do I say
                        this…coz we didn’t want to leave both of you alone in unstable conditions... it would only
                        be possible, if until such time we could see both of you would be able to manage your lives
                        very well ...

                        Granting that possibilty which actually did, your Dad and I agreed that if
                        your Aunt Jessica and Uncle Heechul would offer another chance to join them – we
                        definitely would like to participate and be with them… So you see guys - now, I believe this
                        is the right time we can leave you alone…

Taemin:           (looks at Sooyoung) Mom where is the project location?

Sooyoung:       They have not revealed it yet but instead asked us to go with them on a travel next week
                        after we drop you Taemin here in Paris…

Taemin:           (gasps) You mean… somewhere far away…

Sooyoung:       I really don’t have any idea – it is very confidential… but I am pretty sure that when the
                        right time comes, it will all be revealed…

Minho:             (nods) I know Mom, Dad; we do understand the nature of how they do things and you don’t
                        have to worry about it anymore…

Sooyoung:       (smiles) so fine then… perhaps we can leave you safe and sound…

Minho:             (gasps) but one thing… for how long both of you are going to work on that project…

Sooyoung:       (looks at Leeteuk, implying to help her) hhmmm… Daddy…

Leeteuk:          I believe it is going to be for quite a very long time… and a possibility of staying there for
                        good….

“WHAT!!!”
