Continuation.........................................come let's go............................fourth...........Diamonds, brilliant...........In bel air now..............

After some few minutes assuring Taeyang is far away, Yuri takes a deep breath and utters…

“This is what I am talking about…
(looking at Minho) Minho-ssi…
you are so stubborn…
so stubborn to make your life in so much
trouble…aaiisshh…”

“(sighing) Yu…honey… I know…
don’t worry when he has fully recovered and
we pray that nothing serious is wrong with
him… you can smack his head to make
himself aware that he needs to take good
care of his life for Kibum’s and the kids’
sake…”

“(sighs) Bet… I will Jonggie…
I will really do that…”

Meanwhile at Kibum’s Place
Private Quarter…

“Hhhmmm…
I wonder what time is it now…?
 Taeminnie has not picked me up yet…
I wonder what is going on…?”

Kibum stretches his upper body and raises from his chair dragging himself to start walking out of his private room towards where he believes Taemin is.

“Taemin… Taemin…”

No one answers so Kibum repeats calling…

“Taemin…Taemin…hhhmmm…
let me check the kitchen…”

He opens the kitchen door and no Taemin appears then remembers his mobile and thinks perhaps he must have gotten out of the building to buy something. At a quick glance, he searches for his phone is in the kitchen area and when he could not find it goes inside their room - no phone found so that he proceeds to go back to his private quarter to check whether he might have left it there.

Kibum temporarily pauses to remember when he last left his phone and claps his hands realizing that he left it on the counter top inside the kitchen and thus, immediately he makes his way back again to look for it. Inside the kitchen, he goes straight ahead to the counter top full of expectation but suddenly his face grimaces and lips pouting to find out the phone is gone.

Kibum’s face roams around and checks every area of the kitchen and gasps when he finds Taemin’s phone at the side corner of the mini table – gets it and decides to dial his own number to help him locate his own mobile.

And thus, he dials and gets a shock of a lifetime when Taemin answers…

“Taeminnie…hhhmm…
why do you have my phone…
and you forgot your mobile?”

“Oh…alright…
I need to make myself ready then…
what time are you going to pick me up…
oh… you are on your way…
with Onew hyung…okay…
I will get myself ready…”

Taemin waits til Kibum cuts the line and looks worriedly to Onew and says…

“Onee…what will I do…?
I am afraid of Key…
I did not know that the reason for Minho hyung’s
previous call was a life threatening one…
(Panicking) what will I do…?”

Onew:             (smiles) Relax Taemin, Minho is alright and you did not
                       have an idea about what was about to happen.
                       It was purely unintentional…

Taemin:           (shakes his head) But Onee…
                       Minho called the first time and I did not call
                       Key to inform him about it…

Onew:             (nods) I understand because you were thinking
                       that today is your time with Kibum that was the reason why…
                       and it is human nature that your initial reaction would be
                       out of jealousy or irritation…
                       correct me if I am wrong…

Taemin:           (nods) Yeah... you are right Onee…
                        I was irritated when he called cause today is already
                        my scheduled time with Key…
                        and that was why I did not call Key’s attention…
                        but…I don’t know what to answer when he comes…
                        if he asks, what am I gonna respond…?

Onew:             (smiles) Wait until he asks cause I believe Kibum will not
                       be bothering to follow up his previous question why you
                       have his phone.
                       Probably, he might think like you have mistaken to bring
                       his phone by accident.
                       And then, when we reach the hospital because again,
                       I believe and predict that Kibum will wonder
                       but will slowly ask you what is going on…

Taemin:           (sighs) Darn… sometimes I can be stupid…

Onew:             (looks out of the car window glass)
                       Kim Kibum is coming…
                       just be calm and wait for the right timing…
                       anyway, the hospital is near…
                       tell him everything when we reach the hospital…
                       Tay…we do not like talking about Minho while you are
                        driving the car…right…?

Taemin:           (nods) Yes… I got you…
                        I will try my hardest to calm and relax…
                        and I do wish he would not ask me…

Onew:             (smiles) Don’t worry…
                       for the life of me knowing Kim Kibum…
                       I have seen how his personality and character
                       not a hundred percent though perhaps fifty percent
                       but at least I can understand who he is…
                       and you should by now Tay…

Taemin:           (nods) I do…but we are talking about Minho hyung…
                        you know how he loves Minho hyung so much…
                        that sometimes thinking about it I would treat myself just
                        like a passer by in Key’s life and it hurts so much…

Onew:             (shakes his head) Don’t think like that Key loves you too as well…
                       a very special kind of love…
                       (waves his hand seeing Kibum)…

Taemin:           (unlocks the door) Hi Key…

Kibum:             (smiles and kisses Taemin) Hi baby…
                        and good evening Onew hyung…

Onew:             (smiles) Hello Kibum-ssi…

Kibum:             (suddenly looking at Onew at the back)
                        Onew hyung…good thing you are here…
                        I would like to talk to you about the next projects
                        I want to start as soon as possible…
                        These projects are right now what makes me so focused on
                         which I have been working for a month now
                         and I am almost done…
                    

Onew:             (smiles) Okey…Kibum-ssi…
                        perhaps you could give me a bit of information
                        as to what these projects are all about…

Kibum:             (Looks at Taemin) Tay…
                        sorry but I need to discuss with Onew hyung here….
                        Is that alright with you…?
