Continuation..................................................second page........................so moving on..................

Yuri:                 (slaps Minho’s hand) Minho… don’t say that…
                         we are more thankful Jonghyun and I to meet you…
                          we never thought to be our life as
                          happy and contented as this…

                          Can you just imagined what kind of life
                           it could have been if we did not meet you… I mean…
                           (pointing at herself) ME!... I don’t think so Minnie…

                           My life could have been so different…
                           very ordinary and probably up to now
                           continuously struggling forever and looking
                           for someone who would really love me… you know…

Minho:             (nods) yeah… me too… I feel the same way…

                        (suddenly stops and remembers) you know,
                        if I did not pursue Bummie when we were kids…
                        my life could have been so different…

                         So I do not mind being sad at the same time
                         and undergoing several challenges involving Taemin and I…
                         I really don’t mind… painful and happy moments…
                         I welcome them all…

                         I just feel so lucky and loved by Bummie
                         and by everyone such as you…

Yuri:                 (smiles) I do love you Minho… remember that…
                        and especially Minnie and Kibummie…
                        I can not imagine myself that one day
                        we are going to live separate lives…
                        it would be the saddest moment of my life…

                        (looks at Minho) Please Minho…
                        don’t you ever separate from us… ok…?

Minho:             (nods) Yes… we will not…
                        I know the kids will be super lonely without
                       you and Jonghyun by their side…

Yuri:                 (breathes in heavily) Thank you Minho… Thanks…
                        now my prayers are answered… damn…
                        I have been praying for many days now.... 
                        wishing to get an answer like this from you…

Minho:             (smiles) aaawww… Yu… don’t worry…
                        we will not leave you and Jonghyun hyung behind…
                        both of you are already family…
                        almost second parents to the twins…
                        they will be more than sad if it happens…

Almost finish with their cooking, Minho’s phone located on top of the marble counter rings. The latter excitedly checks the ID then after looks at Yuri in a cheerful way and that the latter says…

“Excited are we…
I wonder if that is Bummie calling…”

“Exactly…my one and only love…”
Minho replies…

“Ok… go on…”
Says Yuri…

“Thanks Yu…
(answers the phone) Hi… Bummie…
Oh… what…five minutes near…?
Oh… alright…
we are ready as well… see you…
bye Bummie…!”
Minho cuts the line then turns to Yuri beaming happily saying…

“They’re five minutes near…”

“(laughing) I heard that…”

Minho shyly moves and goes towards the door to inform Jonghyun and the kids. Yuri smiles as she watches in a blissful state of mind which makes her happy as well because it has been a long time that she has seen him so happy and so relaxed.

Yuri too, walks out of the kitchen and surprised to see Minho, Jonghyun and the twins who are just casually waiting and smiling at her. Yuri reacts by clapping her hands then walks towards them saying…

“So you were all just waiting for me to get out from …
(raises her right hand and sticks out thumb
pointing backward in the direction of the kitchen)
there…hah?!”

Minnie and Kibummie laugh at the same time and run towards the direction of Yuri and hug her big tummy in a very gentle way. Yuri hugs them back saying…

“You two are the loves of my live…
you know that…?”

“We know Auntie…
you are our second Umma and
Uncle Jonggie is our second Appa…”
Minnie says…

“(replies at a tone higher) YES! Me too…
I love you Auntie Yoo…like our second Umma…”
By Kibummie…

“So don’t worry… Yuri… we all love you…
please do not worry… see…?”
Says Minho…

“Yu… honey… don’t worry…
we will stay with them forever…
They will not like it for us to be away from them either especially …
(points the kids) Minnie and Kibummie…”
Says Jonghyun…

Minho:             (raises his hand waves his hand inward) Come…
                        Yu… in a few minutes… they will all be here…

Yuri:                 (laughs and gently grabs each of the twins’ hands)
                        come… Minnie… Kimmie…
                        Appa, Uncle Taemin and Onew will be arriving soon…

Minnie:            (claps her hand) I am so excited Auntie…
                       imagine… meeting Uncle Taemin for the very first time…

                       (goes to Minho) Umma…?
                       Will he stay forever with us…?

Minho:             (almost losing his focus, snaps back) Oh… sweetie…
                        he can pay us a visit everytime and take note…
                        Uncle Taemin will be one of your tutors…
                        Remember…?

Minnie:            (smiles) Oh… I remember … sorry…
                       Uncle Taemin office is far from that buildings we went…
                       right…?

Yuri:                 (smiles at the cleverness of Minnie) Yes…
                        your Uncle Taemin works far away…

Kibummie:       Oh… I remember… but I think it is alright…

Minnie:            (agreeing) Yes… Kimmie…it is fine to me as well…
