Continuation............time...time....time.....keypads...click....clack...click...clack.....moving on...
                                like a clock whose hands are sweeping.....

No words come out as responses from the audience – not even a slight slip of a single letter to convey acknowledgment of Kibum’s statement but merely faces of anticipation and delight showing from everyone's faces – as a result, making Kibum stare at each of them in wonder…

The room has become suddenly what Minho and the rest think a lively showdown of two amazing people both gifted in the art of cooking in which the atmosphere that fills the room are the sounds and the swifts of almost quiet movements of tools and paraphernalias plus their cute inserts of laughs and banters on the side while they cook.

Meanwhile Yuri and Jonghyun at the same emotional frequency - quiet in their own privacy enjoyably watches Kibum and Taemin cooking; while Minho and Onew are at the same time in awe but with a pinch of worry that however superbly amazing to watch the two, it is also emotionally painful deep inside that automatically both of them look at each other and sighs…

“Whhooaa…
could have been a very good match…perfect…”
Utters suddenly out of impulse by Jonghyun….

The surprised Yuri could not timely stop Jonghyun’s out of the moment utterance due to the reason that she too, is dumbfoundly awestruck by the whole presence of Kibum and Taemin interacting freely and beautifully at each other…

Minho taking notice of what Jonghyun has just said suddenly feels like he lost his sense of faith and the only abiding light that could offer him strength is Kibum’s assurance of love for him – faces Onew to check how the other is affected and surprised to see that Onew is taking it lightly and peacefully. And seeing Onew's calm demeanor gives him a good positive effect or outcome adding encouragement and thereby restoring his confidence and faith…

Then after several minutes…

“We are done…”
Kibum’s finally speaks…

Everyone gasps in amazement watching Kibum and Taemin standing proud and happy infront of them smiling cheerfully and both feeling satisfied. Kibum grabs Taemin’s hand and walks toward Minho and says…

“Minnie…sweetie…let see our kids…
(looks back at Taemin)
Baby…
I think  we need to bring the cake…”

“(nods and smiles) Yeah… I will…”

Yuri butting in says…
“Let me help you Taemin…”

“Me too…Taemin-goon…”
Says Jonghyun too…

Onew does not speak a single word but just walks to follow the couple in the direction of Taemin while Minho on the other hand still stunned by the whole scenario – remains motionless and speechless ends up gazing at Kibum’s face in awe that he does not realize that he is now being lead by Kibum towards the kids’ room…

Inside the Twins’ Room…
At the strike of Midnight…

Waking the twins up, Kibum while staring and lovingly caressing each of Minnie and Kibummies’ faces saying…

“Minnie… Kibummie….sweeties…
wake up…appa is here….”

No responds from the twins so Kibum repeats smilingly sighs and faces Minho…

“Yeah…
they are just like me…quite highly…”

Everyone chuckles at Kibum’s silly response and then quickly reverts back to being silent watching the latter waking up the kids…

“Minnie…Kibummie….wake up…”

After the second call, the twins finally slowly open their eyes and both gladly embrace their father, Kibum…each happily saying…

“Hello… Appa…”

“Appa….Appa…
I am very happy you are here…”

“Happy Birthday Sweeties…
I am more than so happy to spending this
so very special birthdays with you both…
lovely angels…”

Minnie and Kibummie squeal in happiness after hearing their father greeting and expressing his love for both of them…

“Thank you Appa…thank you…”
Says Kibummie…

Minnie in silence looks at Kibum and Minho as well as the others watching them and says…

“Umma…”

Minho in shock could not speak a single word and just opens his eyes widely - enough to acknowledge Minnie’s calling then walks to Minnie wearing a questioning gazes at Minnie…

“Umma… thank you very much…
I love you so much….and

(looks at everyone)
Mama Yuri… Papa Jonggie…
Uncle New and Papa Tami…
Thank you very much…
Kibummie and I are very happy…

(then suddenly raises both of her hands and
blows air against her palm and face quickly scringes)
eeewww… I need to brush my teeth…

(looks at Kibummie) Kimmie…?”

“(puts both of his hands on his mouth)
oooppss… Appa…Umma…
we need to brush our teeth first…ok…””
