Meanwhile inside each room, the voice of the assisting member can be heard informing everyone about their appearance.

“Ladies and Gentlemen,
please get ready in ten minutes
after the guests have settled with the snacks,
rooms will be elevated one by one.

Each room will be assigned with numbers
for the order of appearance.
Everyone will come out one by one after the first signal.”

K. Philip:          Did you hear that Mom, Son...?

Q. Margret:      (nods) Yeah...
                        (gasps) Oh... I think we are number 6...?

JP Owen:        Yeah...

Jessica:           Honey... We are number 5...

Heechul:          (chuckles) It is funny...
                        we do not know who is number what and embarrasing to ask every
                        one to check on their numbers...

Jessica:           (shrugs off shoulders) It’s also exciting at the same time...
                       I am pretty excited how everyone would look like...
                       I want to see Taemin’s arrangement and interior design
                       and Jonghyun’s creations...
                       Wow...

Leeteuk:          Darling... we are number 3...

Sooyoung:       (peeps eagerly) Whoa... wanna bet...
                        aside from Kibum and Minho...
                        by the way, I wonder if Kibum is going to show up...
                        What do you think...?

Leeteuk:          From what Jessica told me...
                        Kibum will not...
                        well, we will never know if he will change his mind at the
                        last minute...
                        I mean, this is a very precious moment for the both
                        Kibum and Minho.
                        I bet he might...

Sooyoung:       (whines) No fun...
                        I thought you will say not...fine...

R. Batista:       Mom... we are number 4...

N. Batista:       (soft voice) Our Natalie up there is probably very happy
                       right now that we get to experience something like this...

R. Batista:       (chokes) I miss her so much...
                       Mom... Is she watching us...?

N. Batista:       (embraces her husband) Of course, Dad and I bet she is
                       probably here with us right now watching and smiling at us...

R. Batista:       (takes a deep breath) You know...
                        Mom... I have a wish...

N. Batista:       (looks at her husband) What is it Dad...?
                       You look quite in full anticipation...

R. Batista:       (sighs) You know... I wish Mr. Kim Kibum...
                       I mean our son, Kibummie...
                       get’s to visit our place even cause
                       I know he is all the time busy...
                       Minho could probably come for a visit to our place and
                       spend like a week...

N. Batista:       (smiles) Well...
                       all we have to do is ask Kibummie and Minho...
                       or what we can do is come and leave here in Paris with them...
                       I think they might like the idea so we can have like spend a
                       lot of time with our Minnie and Kibummie...
                       what do you think...?

R. Batista:       (gasps) Mom... Don’t you think...that is too ambitious...
                       Who will look after out businesses, if we have to leave here...?

N. Batista:       (chuckles) Dad... look at Kibum as an example...
                       He has major headoffices around the world besides his
                       many headquarters as well...

R. Batista:       (raises her eyebrows) Mom...
                       I need to see the whole nine yards of what you want to say...

N. Batista:       (smiles) Dad...
                       Minho is the main guardian of Natalie’s assets and mind you...
                       Minho is the one managing Natalie’s businesses around
                       the world with the help of Kibum...
                       what I am saying...
                       our only heirs of all of whatever we own especially our
                       businesses are Minnie and Kibummie...

                        What I am suggesting is that...
                        you might want to talk to Kibum for a merger so we can be
                        assured that our businesses are managed by a very
                        important person who will do his best to bestly manage them...
                        and us, we can at least retire like Mr. Owen...
                        (takes a deep breath) so now, what do you think...

                       and you know soon, admit it our not...
                       we have super geniuses grandchildren...
                       like what you told me when Kibummie was like ten years old,
                       he initiated about managing his parents as well as
                       Mr. JP Owen’s businesses.
 

R. Batista:       (gasps) But Mom...
                        If I have a choice, I will never allow Minnie and Kibummie
                        not enjoy their childhood times...Mom...

N. Batista:       (chuckles of his husband’s overprotectiveness)
                       Dad...
                       we just have to wait and see what our kids want...
                       we can discuss about our plans when we reach home...
                       okay...?

R. Batista:       (sighs) Okay...

Jonghyun:        You... We are number 2....
                        aren’t we that too early...hhhmmm...
                        who fixes the order of appearance...?

Yuri:                 (chuckling at Jonghyun’s childishness)
                        It is probably Taemin and Onew who arranged it...
                        why...?

Jonghyun:        (sighs) Am not gonna design their tuxedos when those two
                        get married...

Yuri:                 (laughing a lot) Jonggie...you are so silly...
                        it is a good thing to watch all of your beautiful like
                        what I am wearing creations...
                        don’t you think...?

Jonghyun:        I wonder who is number 1...?

Yuri:                 Probably Onew and Taemin together with Mr. Taeyang,
                        Mrs. Joonie, Mr. Kikwang and the rests...

When Yuri is about to continue talking the signal they have been told has now started to sound...

“Oh... Honey... the alarm signal...”

“Okay... I am ready...”
