Meanwhile Kibum and Minho’s parents are all in a daze watching the beautiful man-made sceneries as well as the ones belonging to nature. Sooyoung would go gaga as well as Leeteuk admiring Kibum’s developments and magnificent creations.

Sooyoung:       Hon… This place is simply breathtaking…
                        am speechless…

Leeteuk:          (pokes at Sooyoung and asks her
                        to look at Jessica and Heechul)
                        Darling…
                        even them could just enjoy the view and quietly be in awe
                        of the whole surroundings.
                        Kibummie is really good.

Sooyoung:       I agree. Minho and Taemin are very lucky indeed…

Leeteuk:          (chuckles) And so are we my dear… and so are we…

Sooyoung:       I agree… I am so looking forward to Taemin’s creation.
                        I hope he will do well than what I did during Kibummie’s
                        birthday event.

Leeteuk:          (hugs Sooyong) Taemin is really good and very passionate
                        about things he does.
                        And to be honest with you, he can be at par with his hyung
                        Minho who is also very good in what he does.
                       They both are… otherwise; Kibummie will not trust both of
                       them of these huge responsibilities.

Sooyoung:       (nods and laughs) Yeah…
                        we will just have to look forward to the events and
                        beginning from tomorrow enjoy the time we are going to
                        spend here… This is awesome…
                        I miss them Teukkie… terribly…

Leeteuk:          (sighs) Me too...
                        I think Jessica and Heechul are both being very patient
                        of Kibummie.
                        It was a shock for Jessica and Heechul to find out
                        that the twins are their grandchildren.
                        Well, I wish darling Minnie and Kibummie are really ours
                        but that does not really matter.

                       Am just happy for Jessica and Heechul – blood is thicker than water.
                       Instinct shows the truth and I remember Jessica always
                       wondering how they all look like Kibummie.
                       Jessica and Heechul deeply love Kibummie…
                       For heaven’s sake, Kibummie is their only child and now
                       more to look forward from a lot of missing and lingering
                       of the twins as well.
 

Sooyoung:       (smiles sadly) I just do hope Kibummie live with us in the
                        palace…you know…I know he is going to be King...
                        But, I do not know what his decision might be..

Leeteuk:          (shrugs off) Let’s hope for the best hon…
 

Before the guests or invitees arrival, the entire families of Kibum and Minho enjoyed the plan of activities set for them by Kibum. They were able to visit exciting sights and places detailing Kibum’s development of both islands however they have not really toured the entirety of these islands as there are places that are kept unrevealed until the event.
 

From the top of the Manor, all of them could see the guests through a number of installed wide LCD screens mounted on the wall for viewing…

K. Philip:          (pointing at the screens) All of these screen look more like
                       monitoring video screens as to what are happening on
                       these two islands and outside...
 

JP Owen:        Yes… and I believe the same goes to the other Manor
                       (eyes suddenly roams) I wonder when Taeyang is coming…

                       (gasps) Oh…
                       I was told he is the one officiating the arrival of the guests…
 

Q. Margret:      Jean…
                        around how many are invited in these two events…?

JP Owen:        (opens the committee tasks sheet)
                       According to this list,
                       it says like more than 15,000 invitees…

“WHAT…!”
 

Everyone turns their heads toward JP Owen in total shock as regards the number of invited guests that are expected to come…

Jessica:           (gasping) Seriously…fifteen thousand guests…
                       Has Bummie gone mad…? Or something…?

Heechul:          (laughing) I remember him forever complaining and
                        whining regarding the number of guests he had on his 16th
                        birthday and now for his children…
                        it is even more than what I have expected
                        Bummie would invite…

Jessica:           (shaking her head) We were only expecting basing from
                        what we thought of Bummie’s apparently would want like
                        4,000 invitees…what happened…?

Sooyoung:       (looks at Kikwang) Mr. Kikwang…
                        do you have any idea about this…?

Kikwang:         (smiles) hhhmm…
                       Sir Minho called me like week ago complaining as to the
                       number of invitees Sir Kibum had initially prepared.
                       Previously, Sir Kibum had planned 10,000 not including his
                       entire households globally.
                       As a matter of fact, they are all housed in two of the
                       many hotels in the crescent shaped island.
                       
                       Sir Kim Kibum allotment such that are:

                   To the Majesties King and Queen and Lord Owen – a total of 2,000
                   Sir Heechul and Mam Jessica – 1,500
                   Sir Leeteuk and Mam Sooyoung – 1,500
                   For the entire of Kim Kibum’s household members and staffs – 5,500
                   Plus Natalie’s Parents – 2,000
                   Sir Kibum and Sir Minho’s classmates – 525
                   Also Kim Kibum’s Second Family like Onew, Jonghyun, Yuri etc. – 1,000
                   Plus VIPs around the world and KPI’s Top People – 4,000

                  Total In All is like almost 18,000 invitees…
                  excluding the staffs helping committee…
                  I believe like 2,000 to make this happen.

The scene after the narration of the number of attendees is more like the whole town is under hypnotic attack from a certain invasion. The atmosphere becomes so quiet for several seconds and as a result, JP Owen chuckles at everyone’s reaction goes to one of the LCD screens and examines the invited guests and beams at what he sees favorable and says…

“Sure… Bummie has shown great expertise
in applying the art of business politics…
you have invited quite very prominent
people in the business world
(takes a deep breath) well done… my Kibummie…”
 

“Daddy, what are you saying…?”
 

JP Owen:        our Kibummie… at a very young age is doing very well…

Jessica:           (sighs) Yeah… look at the people he has invited…
                       I never would have thought, he would invite many of his
                       business rivals.

JP Owen:        (curiously looks at Jessica) Jessie…?

Jessica:           (looks back surprised) Yes  Daddy…? What is it…?

JP Owen:        (amused) According to Mr. Taeyang, Kibummie has
                       invested by buying shares from each of
                       his rivals around the globe.
                       Were you not told...?

Jessica:           (astounded covering ) hhmm…
                       (puts down her hand) Daddy… 
                       OH MY GOSH! WOW for Kibummie to that…
