A DESPERATE CALL…
LATE NIGHT…

What happening is both shocking and horrifying for Kibum; he knows Taemin too well for being passionate but could never visualize how enormously intense Taemin is as he has been so calm during the time he revealed his intentions and never imagined that it would somehow would result to something beyond his imagination.

And suddenly, Taemin’s statement plays again in his mind like a replay coming over and over again – a part of the symptons of post traumatic stress disorder.

“Key….I can not bear losing you…
if I have to lose you I might as well end my life…hhmm…
you are the reason why I keep living…”

Considering his condition, he is trying to act as normal as possible but quite paradoxical - not sure how to get him self started - to stop the morbid reminiscing state; a need just to divert his attention. Fighting his dilemma, Key suddenly…

“AAAHHH…..SSTTOOPP!!”

Screams in his own head – just to draw his attention out of the appalling predicament he is currently experiencing and this time battling with his own incontestable quandary, taking so much effort to even gain enough strength to get his mobile from his pocket and dials the number he knows by heart…

Key:                 (in trembling hands, sets the phone in video call)
                        Onew hyung… please come…

Onew:             Kibum-ssi… what is going on…?

Key:                 Hyung… I can’t talk further…please…
                        it is about Taemin…hurry but be careful…

Onew:             (hearing about Taemin’s name, panics)
                       What…? Taemin…?!

Key:                 Yeah….please…come…

Onew:             Where you at…?

Key:                 Inside my private hospital…

Onew:              Be right there rightaway…

Soon as Onew cuts the line, Kibum inhales deeply, then looks at the immobile and peaceful face of Taemin attached on the bed inserted with bags of IV drip of blood support and medicine and his lovely nose strapped with oxygen hose breathing noiselessly. He then raises his left hand to gently squeeze Taemin’s right hand and wishing that somehow the latter could feel him to let him know that he is here watching over him.

The scene today aside from what he had seen at the time recovering his own self is one that he could consider haunting and still trying hard to deal with it; seeking refuge, lowers his face with eyes staring down at each of the baby blue-and-white-checkered-alternately-painted-tiles on the floor that are within his eye-reach as if blessedly immaculate somehow helping him distract his troubled mind. Then after, unconsciously his eyes brings him to look at the carefully stained window clear glass then heaves a sigh after seeing rain falling like tragedy…saying…

“I am sorry Taeminnie…
for having to put you in very bad situation…
What would you like me to do…?
Minnie and you, I love you both dearly
but I already have a family of my own now…
I was hoping you can learn to deal with my current situation…

I will not definitely leave you and be all alone by yourself…
I have planned that even if I am with Minnie,
I will be by your side and I believe Minnie will support me…
You know Minnie…right?
He is quite generous and has been up to now…

I understand what you did and I think it is something
that you don’t even have to ask forgiveness 
– I am thankful even then cause you love and
been loving me endlessly and tirelessly…
I was and am very happy and very lucky
how perfectly unselfish you have been to me...
My thoughts are with you too Taeminnie…
I wish you can hear me…
I love you and will always love you my baby Taeminnie…”

 Kibum stops when he senses his self starting to go downcasted with sorrow and loneliness – although he knows it is a normal reaction, but at this moment, these most likely disconcerting thoughts, dreadful emotions, recurrent questions as to WHY?!  As much as possible, although it is unable to process the trauma right now, which again, is completely understandable; he wants to ease the alluring temptation of spiraling downhill so that he is quite thankful that his body and mind are actually helping in trying to shield him self as he thinks Taemin needs him now with a strong body and mind.

Suddenly in his disquieting feeling of yet controlled battling emotions is interrupted when a voice from behind surprises him…so that he turns his head and says…

“Hyung…thanks heaven…”

Onew, After Kibum Called…

Onew as second Kibum’s trusted person has been pretty outstanding and reliable both in personal and business aspects. Even in the early days of his life, his main focus was to make good so that he’d be worthy working just one of Kibum’s global businesses, in which, luckily was given and has been very good at running thirty percent of the latter’s globally succesful enterprises.

Onew works with Swiss precision, despite iron hand; he can offer witty and smart jokes and further soften it with a warm smile. His performance eversince he was a kid and up to now has been quite remarkable and excellent in every challenge he had undertaken but despite of it all – just like Kibum was discreet about his achievements. Working for Kibum’s company has made him realize his dream and without a doubt was very grateful of Taeyang for making his dream come true.

He deeply admire Kibum as one of the persons who inspires him that despite being older, he is not embarrassed to show his admiration for the other. He had followed and kind of stalk in a good way Kibum’s growing years despite not meeting him in person – he kind of felt sad when due to his studies; he was not able to attend Kibum’s sixteenth birthday party which could have been his chance to meet the latter in person and as a result, it became his goal to determinedly meet him face to face.

When the time allowed him, just like the others as he what he had read – girls and boys were admiring him in which during that time he found it kind of strange, until through Taeyang and Kibum’s mother; he met Kibum for the very first time. True to what had been told, Kibum emanated such an unexplainable gorgeousness – a well-defined combination of beauty and handsomeness – dignified in its truest sense. And thus, he one way or another understood and convinced that Kibum possesses a powerful presence regardless having to meet him or not.  

Consequently, it also did not come as a surprise finding out from Taemin that the latter and Minho love Kibum not in brotherly way and immediately understood.

First time seeing Taemin, Onew was so impressed and how much more when he has personally knew him when the other temporarily lived with him. He enjoyed being with Taemin as the latter is beaming with shine like the sun and such intense passion like the moon providing enormous light in the darkness. He was never envious of Kibum until…

“Hyung…thanks heaven…”
