Continuation...................................................moving on............

Natalie gets her mobile and calls on Dr. Tiffany. Then after several seconds still talking with Dr. Tiffany, four hospital staffs appear with a stretcher waiting for her to come out. Natalie bids thanks to Dr. Tiffany then opens the car window and says…

“Thank you very much guys…hold on for a sec…”

Instinctively, Minho opens his side of the door and goes out of the car towards where Natalie’s area, opens the car door and tenderly takes Natalie’s hand then wraps his hands around the other’s back for support – carefully assisting her to towards the stretcher…

“Thank you Minho….”

Meanwhile Dr. Tiffany show up smiling and greeting Natalie…saying…

Dr. Tiffany:      Hi Natalie…honey… are you alright…?

Natalie:            Sure Doctor I am ok… oohh…
                         let me introduce to my dearest wonderful friend…
                         Dr. Tiffany, I would like to introduce Choi Minho
                         – Kibum’s best friend and mine as well…

Dr. Tiffany:      (gasps) So he is the one…!

Natalie:            (beams) Yes…

Dr. Tiffany:      hhhmmm… very good looking…. Choi Minho…

Minho:             (bows) It is a pleasure to meet you Dr. Tiffany…

Dr. Tiffany:      (waves) Stop with the too much formality…
                        just call me Auntie Tiffany…
                        that is how Kibum calls me and you Natalie…
                        for pete’s sake just call me Auntie…
                        I have been asking you for how many times now…

Natalie:            (laughing) ok…ok… Auntie Tiff…

Dr. Tiffany:      By the way Natalie… there is a change in schedule…
                       your operation is postponed for tomorrow…

Natalie:            (surprised) ooohhh…why is that Auntie…

Dr. Tiffany:      My anesthesiologist has been requested
                        by a friend of mine to assist in the operation
                        – she will be back by tomorrow afternoon…
                        So probably, when she is ready,
                        we will have to proceed with the operation by nighttime.
                        Is that alright with you Natalie…?

Natalie:            (smiles) It is fine by me Auntie…
                        anyway my due is supposed to be next week, right?

Dr. Tiffany:      (nods) Yes… so for the meantime,
                        rest for the night and get ready by tomorrow…

                        (hugs Natalie) Ok… I will leave both of you for the moment..

                        (hugs Minho) Minho, oh?
                       Will you be staying here for tonight…?

Minho:             (nods) Yes, I would love to stay here to accompany Natalie…
                        I will just call my friends and Onew hyung
                        to inform him that I won’t be around for
                        approximate two days…

Natalie:            (smiles) Thank you so much Minho…
                        Your companionship really means a lot to me you know…

Minho:             Don’t mention… Natalie… who would not…
                        I mean… I don’t have a heart to leave you alone…

Natalie:            (embraces Minho) Ooohhh…
                         what a sweet brother you are…

                        (detaches and looks at Minho) But I am older than you..
                        just letting you know…

Minho:             (sighs) aaaiisshh…
                        you have the time to even think about that…
                        Natalie… yeah…yeah…Noona…

Natalie:            (looks at Tiffany) I am fine I guess Auntie
                        because Minho is around…

Dr. Tiffany:      (smiling) Ok… then…
                        I will have both of you taken care of…
                        and don’t worry about anything…
                        I will give you the best hospital accommodation here…
                        A separate private suite room like home…

Natalie:            (mouth gapes) Oh…. Really…?

Dr. Tiffany:      (nods) yap… and you too, Minho…
                        your garments, things… that place is complete…
                        just choose what you like to wear or do…
                        I mean anything…for your lovely babies

Minho:             (nods and smiles) Thank you Dr. Tiffany…

Dr. Tiffany:      (sighs) Auntie…Minho…

Minho:             (bows again) Auntie…

Dr. Tiffany:      (looks at the both of them) Ok…
                       come let’s go to your assigned room…

Natalie:            (gasps and embarrassed) Auntie..
                        you don’t have to accompany us…
                        I am sure you have staffs to take care of us…

Dr. Tiffany:      (shakes her head) No…no…
                       you are very dear to me like how
                       your fiancé is so very important to me too…

Minho:             (takes Natalie’s hand) Come… Natalie…
                        let’s just follow what Auntie says…

Natalie:            uuhh…okay… then…

Dr. Tiffany:      Wait hold on…

                        (gives instructions to the three out of four 
                        hospital staffs)                       
                        Suzy, please get me one wheel-chair
                        for Ms. Natalie,

                        Neil, inform the admission department that I have
                       ordered to put Natalie and Minho in a 2BR suite room.

                        Min, please call on Ms. Grace to confirm schedule
                        for tomorrow’s operation for Ms. Natalie…

                        (looks back at Natalie) Dear… just wait…
                        you don’t have to walk…

Natalie:            Thank you so much Auntie…

After three minutes one of the staffs arrives with a wheel chair and all of them with Dr. Tiffany leading them proceed to the room where the suite room accommodation is.  While on their way to the room, Minho calls on Onew…

Minho:             Auntie, Natalie…
                       I will call Onew to inform him that I won’t be
                       reporting for maximum four days starting
                       today so he can find a way to let someone
                       temporarily take in charge on my behalf…

Dr. Tiffany:      (surprised) Oh my baby…sure Minho go on… but…
                       Minho don’t tell him anything about being you
                       with Natalie and your whereabouts…
                       because my dear son, he does not have any
                       idea about Natalie…

Minho:             Yes Auntie…

After calling Onew, Minho sends a text message to Kibum about his absence to accompany Natalie for four days. After sending the message to Kibum, Natalie says…

Natalie:            (smiling) Minho… wanna bet…?
                        I will count to ten Key will call you…

Minho:             (embarrassed) I don’t think so, he is probably busy…
                        and if he does, it is because of you not me…

Natalie:            (shaking her head) nope…but maybe…
                        I will count now, let us see to find out…
                        one… two… three… four… fi…
