Continuation...................................................hhmmm...where are we...?..............okay..........darn...it's cold....

Onew quickly sits down and like a hungry kid chomps on the food served to him by Taemin. However as soon as he finishes chunking on his first bite to go for the second; he suddenly realizes and so raises his face to look at Taemin and asks…

Onew:             (on hesitating tone) Tay…excuse me…

Taemin:           (with a shocked expression) Hah…?
                        What Onee… something wrong…?

Onew:             (shakes his head) hhhmm… nothing…just that…
                       if it is alright…

Taemin:           (curious look) hhhmm… what is it…?

Onew:             (scratches his head) hhmm…
                       can I sit beside you…?

Taemin:           (surprised and looks at his space)
                       Stop…wait…stay right there…!

Onew stunned by Taemin’s quick sort of what he percieves a negative response; his mood suddenly changes from the happy giddy excited one to a rather sulken lost puppy. But fortunately, thanks to his good quick mindset, he manages to hide what he feels and be discreet about his saddened condition that the only way possible he could muster as of this moment is to lower his head and takes a deep heavy breath. Then after just two seconds, he lifts his head able to release the sad feeling, welcomes another shock of his life when Taemin is in the process for heaven’s sake he does not have any idea what is going on moving the foods and some other items on the table to almost the center giving more space at the extended width side area.

Amused Onew continues to be on the lookout part, watching Taemin, quickly but graciously assist the latter moving and arranging the setting on the table then be yet surprised again when Taemin speaks…

Taemin:           (waving his hand) Come Onee…
                        let’s be seated on the extended side…

Onew:             (shocked) Hah…?

Taemin:           (shaking his head) Onee…
                        why do you look always surprised like a mongoose…
                        I said… let’s both be seated …

                       (now gets up to emphasize what he means)
                       this side…
                       (waves his hand again to Onew) come…

Onew:             (blank mind) aaahh…ooohh…
                       (moves up) ooohh… okey…

Taemin:           (laughing) Silly… Onee…
                        did you lose your speech ability…?
                        Have you suddenly gone mute…?

Onew:             (now back to his own self, smiles)
                        Yes…yes…
                        this is exactly how I imagine it should be…

                        (looks at Taemin in an excited manner)
                        This is great isn’t it…?

Taemin:           (chuckles) Onee… thanks heaven… you are back…

Onew:             (confused) Why…? What happened…?

Taemin:           (kisses Onew’s cheek) Nothing…
                       (remembers) How about your work…?

Onew:             (suddenly remembers) Oh…
                       it is the start of my two-day off… sorry…
                       I kind of quickly seep myself out from your sight …
                       and into the bathroom… so embarrassing of me…

Taemin:           (smiles) Oh… same with me…
                        it is the start of my two-day off as well…

                        (nods) It is alright really… no need to worry…
                        I understand how dedicated you are when it comes to Key’s matters...
                        who would not…?
                        I would probably be the same as you if I were on your shoes…
 

Onew:             (hugs Taemin) Thanks Tay…
                       come let’s start eating…
                       I will not allow myself to waste any single food crumb…

Taemin:           (smiles) Aaahh… we will see about that…

Onew:             (raising his left hand to like an “oath” manner)
                       I swear…

As expected Onew gloriously chomps on the food enjoying blissfully the delicious taste and adding to his happiness is to have Taemin’s beside him at the same time. Suddenly, an idea comes to his mind, Onew forks a slice of chicken meat and dips it into a chili sauce and smilingly offers it to Taemin who in return smiles and accepts it and does the same way to him. And thus, they end up alternately serving each other – happily chatting and making fun with each other.

Then comes dessert time, Taemin excuses himself to get it which he placed inside the fridge to chill it but before he could continue, he suddenly remembers something and says…

Taemin:           (getting the dessert) Onee…?

Onew:             (raises his head up) Yes… Tay…what is it…?

Taemin:           (making his way back to the table)
                        Today is the meeting where we are supposed
                         to discuss the twin’s upcoming birthday…

Onew:             (gapss) Oh… where are we supposed to meet then…?

Taemin:           Key did not mention however I trust it is either here or somewhere…

Hearing the recent words coming from Taemin’s lips makes Onew’s body to stiff a little as he knows the reason why – as a fact, today is the day when Kibum is coming back to spend three days with Taemin and thus, admitting to what he feels – it hurts but decides not show it.

Onew:             (well-composed replies) That’s excellent…
                       so, we just have to wait for them…

Taemin:           (becomes giddy and giggles) yeah…
                        and I am excited as well…

Onew:             (decides not to respond more) Good…

Little does he know, Taemin notices Onew’s sudden reaction which makes him a little bit guilty due to his irresponsible behavior but he is just being true to himself thus as a consolation, he moves closer…

Taemin:           (kisses Onew’s cheek) Thank you Onee…
                        and please do not get tired of me…

Onew:             (smiles instantly) Tay… I am so weak for you…
                       you make me smile instantly… I don’t know why…

Taemin:           (smirking) Oh… so you don’t know why…
                        how rude are you…?

Onew:             (bashfully smiles) hhhmm… sorry…
                       I know but I will save it for the best time…

Taemin:           (shrugs off his shoulder) Oh…
                        is that your agenda now…?

Onew:             (nods) Yap and Yes…

Taemin:           (looks at in curious way) Hah…?
