Continuation..............................................here we go.....................

Natalie stands up, takes two steps facing the balcony takes a deep breath and feels the gust of the wind against her cheeks then looks at Minho in her most sincere and calmest manner, saying….

“If I can predict your fate…
well what we call in other term… destiny…
amid all these trials and tribulations you might
encounter from now and the next days to come…
something is telling me…

It might be you…who knows…”

Minho ends up speechless - for several seconds, temperature rising above his head making his eyes watery then stands up and finds himself after beside Natalie rubbing her belly gently; he lays his head on Natalie’s shoulder and unknowingly his tears fell on the shoulder’s of the other. As a result, Natalie turns to look at Minho astonished to see his cheeks wet with tears; she also starts to tear up. She raises her left hand and offers gentle touch on Minho’s cheeks to wipe the tears on his face and says…

“Huusshh… Minho…
we will both end up crying with our eyes swollen
and when Kibum comes… it will make him worry…”

Minho slowly nods and takes Natalie’s hand guiding her back on the chair for a sit. The two ends up being momentarily quiet, enjoying the sound of leaves swaying back and forth, watching the beautiful garden having various types of colorful flowers.

Suddenly both surprised upon hearing the gate opening and the car going inside. Minho’s heart beats wildly, gripping his knees with his right hand while the other hand rubbing his chest – he smiles trying to hide the excitement he feels due to the fact that it’s been a month and a half that he has not seen Kibum - when Natalie turns to look at him saying…

“Minho, our Kibum is here…”

“hhhmm..Ye..ah…”
Minho in a choking manner replies…

Meanwhile, Kibum who is currently turning off the engine feels so different; he intuitively smiles and says to his self…

“I can feel it Minnie is here…. My heart leaps like a lizard…”

Thus when Kibum enters, his eyes glisten seeing Minho and Natalie chatting happily together…

Kibum:             (excited) Hi Minnie….

                        (hugs Minho) Hi Honey…

                        (kisses Natalie on the lips)…

Minho:             (awkward) Hi…

Natalie:            (smiles) Hi hon… How was your day?

Kibum:             Oh it was alright… everything gladly is in order…

                        (looks at Natalie) Hon, I will leave in a while and be back.
                        I just have to get something that I need for next weeks project…

Natalie:            (nods) Sure Honey….
                         It is not a problem…

Kibum:             (looks at the two one at a time) So what did you two do?

Minho:             (smiles) we talk and talk most of the time…

Natalie:            (whining) yyyaahh… Minho… of course!
                        What do you expect with my ballooned tummy run or jog with you…?

Minho:             (waving his hand) no… no…
                        that’s not what I meant…

Natalie:            (looks at Kibum) Hon… don’t worry…all we did was talk…
                         It is just a simple conversation to release the past energies 
                         piled for a very long time now…
                         And I am so happy that he granted my request…

Kibum:             (touches Natalie’s cheek tenderly) Ooohhh… honey…
                        Minnie is the kindest and giving person on earth…
                         wait let me go inside and change into something loose…

Natalie:            Sure Hon…

Then suddenly Kibum comes back wearing a very thin see-through top shirt; his right milky skin shoulder exposed and like Minho bottom garment, Kibum is also wearing a loose cotton pants. Minho gulps seeing Kibum’s tempting outfit that he discreetly turns his face to check on the house interiors… then Natalie speaks…

Natalie:            (nods) Yeah… I agree…

                        (claps hands) So guys… hungry?

Kibum;             (laughs) Yeah…

Minho:             Can I cook?

Kibum:             (gasps) why not? But… I am afraid how they’d turn out…

Minho:             (thoughtlessly pouting) aaaiiii… of course…
                        I know how to cook…

Kibum:             (beams) How about the two of us to cook…
                        I think it would be more fun…

                        (looks at the mesmerized Natalie)
                        what do you think Honey…?

                        (pats her hands when he notices she is just staring at them)
                        Honey… hey…
                        you  are staring at us like a hawk or a watchman…
 

Natalie:            (comes back to her senses) Oh… what did you say?

Kibum:             (laughs) I said… Minho and I will cook…

Natalie:            (nods incenssantly) sure… sure… go… ahead guys…cook…

                        (points to herself) Well honey if it is alright I would like
                        to lie down on the bed for a while, please?
                        Just come to me when cooking is done …

Kibum:             (nods) sure honey…
                        are you fine with that Minnie?

Minho:             (laughs) yeah…sure you don’t want to watch us…?

Natalie:            (nods) yeah… my body is calling for a bed to lie down…
                        my back is tired and painful…uuufff….

Thus Kibum gets the hand of Natalie and guides her through their bedroom while Minho follows holding Natalie’s back for support. While the three of them walking in a slow pace, Minho has never imagined this kind of moment happening. The lingering feeling of doubt and hesitancy that have been popping every now and then are totally gone; he is looking at Natalie in a different perspective which admiration comes to be the first one he has in mind. He has accepted and acknowledged how kind hearted Natalie is and knowing her family background; he then realizes that Kibum and her are a perfect pair considering both of them are from notable families, brilliant and beautiful people.

Minho has accepted the fact that Kibum has chosen Natalie over him and that moment of truth is far more painful than anything he could ever imagine that even now it makes him want to cry; regardless, he makes a conviction of loving Kibum forever no matter what stage they are in. He is suddenly send back to reality when Kibum starts telling him something…

Kibum:             (rubbing his hand) Minnie… hey…. Minnie…

Natalie:            (looks at Minho and senses what troubling him)
                        Minho… are you alright…?

Minho:             (looks at Natalie but avoids Kibum because 
                        his eyes are getting red)
                        huh…ha?

Natalie:            (senses what Minho is going through) 
                        Minho… earth is calling… yyuuhhoo…

Minho:             (embarrased, bows his head) Oohh… I am fine…
                        I was just thinking about work?

Kibum:             (softer voice) Minnie… don’t worry about work…
                        remember I am here to help and guide you always…

Minho:             (more embarrased) uuhhmm… yeah, I know… fine then…
                       
                        (thinks of a better excuse) we can start cooking…
                        I am a good chef…

Kibum:             (grins) oohh… really….?
                        We will see about that…

Natalie:            (smiles) Fighting Minho… I will be a good critique…

                         (points the bed) Oohh… bed… here I come…

Kibum:             (laughing) Honey…  so silly… slowly… slowly…
