Continuation.................................................here's the next one................................

Suddenly, Joonie speaks who has been at Taeyang’s back watching and giggling…

Joonie:            Hi Mr. Kibum…and Minnie…

Kibum:             (smiles) Hi Ms. Joonie…is everything alright now…

Joonie:            (nods) Yes… please do not worry…

Kibum:             Thank you very much Ms. Joonie…

Taeyang:         Around eight o’clock…

                        (looks at Minho) Yes… Mr. Minho…
                        we will be arriving tonight…
 

Minho:             (takes a deep breath) Oh my… Mr. Taeyang…?

Taeyang:         Yes… Mr. Minho…?

Minho:             If it is possible…
                       can I finish my orientation with Nickhun in the morning…
                       so perhaps in the afternoon…
                       you may ask someone to pick up Jongyhyun,
                       Yuri and the kids at my house…

Kibum:             (groans again) hhhmmm…uhum…uhum…

Minho:             (looks at Kibum) Bummie…are you alright…?
                        You want me to see you right now…?

Joonie:            (butts in) I think better see Sir Kibum… Mr. Minho…

Taeyang:         (smiles) Yeah… I agree… and about your suggestion…
                        we will follow whatever you wish Mr. Minho…

Minho:             Thank you Mr. Taeyang and Ms. Joonie…
                        so this ends our video call…
                        I need to go see Bummie…

                        (whispers to them) He is not in right mood…
                        He pouts like my Minnie and Kibummie…aaiisshh…
 

Kibum:             (grumbling) I can hear you…

Chuckling, both Taeyang and Joonie say their goodbyes to Kibum…

“Bye…Mr. Kibum…see you later…”

“Bye…Sir Kibum…I will call you as soon as possible…”
Each saying their adieus to Kibum…
 

“Bye and thank you Mr. Taeyang and Ms. Joonie…
 see you later…have a nice trip…”

Taeyang:         Mr. Minho…see you around either Joonie or
                        I will call you once we arrived tonight…

Joonie:            Bye too Mr. Minho…take care…

“Bye…Mr. Taeyang and Ms. Joonie…see you later…”

Kibum and Minho….

Soon as Taeyang and Joonie cut off the video call, Minho quickly gets back at Kibum asking…

“Bummie… are you alright…wait for me…
I will come to you…where you at…?”
 

“Penthouse…”
 

“Alright…wait for me Bummie…
I will be there in a few minutes…ok…?”
 

“O-okay…”

While waiting for Minho to arrive, Kibum hurriedly prepares some fresh fruit salad – brings it along with him then after gets his penthouse all facilities remote control inside his office area located on the top of his executive office table then proceeds directly inside his room – opens his TV monitors connected to the hidden cameras installed along the hallways and lifts going to his penthouse as well as the main door entrance of his penthouse. Places the fresh fruit salad on the corner table next to his bed, pulls out a chilled bottled mineral water putting it next to the mix fresh fruit salad – inspecting it carefully – satisfied, lies on the bed waiting for Minho to arrive.

Meanwhile on Minho’s side, after talking to Kibum – goes back in his office to get the car key then after hurriedly goes to the parking basement where his car is parked – sees his car, opens it then stops for a moment rests his head on the car seat head rest to relax or settles his breathing pattern.  After a minute, feeling relaxed utters to himself…

“What’s going on with Bummie…?
He is kind of acting weird…
He is probably troubled or overwhelmed
by the sudden turn of events…
I need to be there as soon as possible…”

Back to Kibum, his moment of reflecting is suddenly interrupted by a phone call, checks his mobile and feels a little bit worried to see Taemin’s name on his phone caller ID – regardless, does not hesitate to answer the call…

“Hello…Taeminnie… how are you…?
 Just take it easy…
I don’t want you to get tired when you go home…
Did you eat the breakfast I prepared this morning…?
Sorry, if I have to leave early while you were still on bed…

Uuhh...Aahh…oh… of course, I am wearing our engagement ring…

(takes a deep breath and exhales loudly)
I am alright… don’t worry about me…
Be sure to eat properly alright…
you need to gain weight you sure lost
a lot of weight when we were apart…
Eat a lot…By the way, will you be working
straight up to six o’clock tomorrow…?
Take a three-hour nap alright…

Okay…bye for now… sure I will see…
take care Taeminnie…I love you too…”

Waits for Taeminnie to cut off the line before terminating the call – poignantly stares on his mobile and at the same time sits up straight with his back against the bed headboard; folds his legs then moves his body forward – breathing heavily with head down saying…

“Taeminnie… I love you but we need to stop – I feel guilty…
I am so lucky to be loved by someone so dear like you.

You have been loving me for so long inspite of the truth
that you know Minnie loves me like I love him too…
but how…am I going to break it to you gently…ooohhh…
(moves his head backwards – breathing heavily)

This is so hard…
I am so sorry Taeminnie…
(stares at ring removes it from his finger 
then puts inside the corner table locker)…”

Then goes back to lying position continue to wait for Minho. After awhile checks his watch heaving a sigh when twenty minutes have passed and Minho has not arrived yet – making him all worried. He then gets up on his bed walks back and forth parallel to the expanse of his bed then after several seconds, goes back to his bed casts out his worries saying to himself…

“What is taking him so long…should I call him…hhhmmm…
(thinks but then decides) nevermind…
I know he is probably trying to come here as fast as possible…”
