Continuation....

Both Leeteuk and Sooyoung as well as Siwon are all taken aback in a way overwhelmed by the way Heechul and Jessica have welcomed them. The Choi’s never expected this kind of outcome – but both remain composed to prevent from looking stupid and ridiculous. And their responses are:

Leeteuk:          (Stuttering) O-oh, us too – yeah. W-ee are very very glad too.

Sooyoung:       (Breathing very fast for nervous reason and settles down a bit witnessing how the child like Jessica has not changed after
                        all these years) H-hi, Jes-sica! Yeah, honestly I was all the time wondering I mean – rather – I was thinking, you might
                        have forgotten me and Leeteuk but now, I am so happy that we meet again too.

Jessica:           Whhhatt!! Eoonniie, you’re crazy. come come… we have a lot of things to talk about. Oh, your son Minnie – how are you
                        Minnie?

Heechul:          Come join as please, if it is alright with you.

Sooyoung:       (So surprised and turns to look at Bummie who is smiling – ear to ear) How did you meet our son?

Minnie:            Good Day Aunt Jessica (goes to Jessica and extends his hands)

Sooyoung:       (face flushes) uhmmm Minnie what are you doing?

Minnie:            I want to kiss Aunt Jessica..

Jessica:           (amused – bends down) Ohhh – he is such a sweetheart…

Leeteuk:          (embarrassed by Minnie’s casualness) oohh – o-okey! Minnie, come along son.

Heechul:          Oh, your son? We met outside our gate. How are you Minnie?

Minnie:            I am fine Uncle (bows his head).

Jessica:           Oh yeah! Sooyoung – he was shouting Bummie’s name so that we let Bummie meet him. But I wonder how Minnie here –
                        have gotten to know Bummie?

Both Leeteuk and Sooyoung could not contain their embarrassments over what their son just did that caught them unawares.

Heechul:          Oh, really? When did you first meet Bummie, Minnie?

Minnie:            Uncle, Meet Bummie singing at the gate.

Jessica:           Oh – singing at the gate (puzzled as to how did it happen – shrugs it off).

Sooyoung:       Yeah, he came back telling us about it – in fact he had mistaken Bummie as a girl – you know.

Jessica:           Eeonnie, we get that all the time. At social gatherings, public places and even when he was a baby – he was requested a
                        lot of times to be a commercial talent for baby girls’ products.

                        I could not say no – you know, it was our product. And my Dad’s frustration has been this issue of not giving him another
                       daughter. Anyway, forget about that, (turns to Minnie) say Minnie, would you like to see Bummie – though right now he is
                       inside the car resting still; wait for a little bit and he might be up soon.

Minnie:            Yes, Auntie and thank you (beams widely)

Jessica:           You are welcome, sweetie.

 So; just as the Kim’s, Choi’s and Siwon are now busy reminiscing their days, Minnie’s boredom starts to enter his system so that decides to do a little adventure of his own. He walks towards the car where Siwon had shown him – he reaches the place – becomes agitated as all windows are closed. Luckily, he sees a guy (Taeyang) standing – approaches and introduces himself as Bummie’s friend.

Minnie:            Mister, escus me - uhhmm.

Taeyang:         Yes, child – what can I possibly do for you?

Minnie:            Am Bummie’s now new friend – My name is Minnie. Is alright if I see Bummie?

Taeyang:         Oh, okey – let us check if he is awake now. 

Minnie:            (So excited that he prances giddily) Greeyyt!!

Taeyang:         Just so you know, Bummie likes to sleep a lot. 

When both of them reach the car, Taeyang slowly opens the car to see Bummie’s current condition – unfortunately, they found Bummie soundly sleeping laying back flat on his mini-bed. Minnie could not hold back his disappointment – pouts. Taeyang notices this states,

Taeyang:         Am really sorry – I guess Sir Bummie is so tired from the walking he had this morning.

Minnie:            (Silent, continues pouting, rumpling his fingers while kicking leaves, says) But, I want to talk to him, pleasse!!

Taeyang:         (Amused by the boy’s expression – decides on) is that how important Sir Bummie is to you?

Minnie:            Yess!!

Taeyang:         Ok, let’s make an agreement. I will allow you to go inside the car and stay there ‘til Sir Bummie wakes up – only If:

                        First - you don’t wake him up coz he does not like someone waking up in his good sleep, and Second – Be quiet.

                        Ok, do we have an agreement?

Minnie:            (Trying to understand, says) what is aaggreement?

Taeyang:         Sort of a promise to follow.

Minnie:            Oh, ok – I got it. Chure.

Taeyang:         ok son, get in and don’t forget our agreement, ok?

Minnie:            (Going inside the car – nods – puts his pointer finger to his lips to express silence, says in a whisper) ssshhhh – oookkk!!

As Minnie sets himself inside the car, Taeyang closes it. Minnie approaching Bummie; beams and smiles widely, sits and watches sleeping Bummie. He is so happy that he cannot control himself from ruffling Bummie’s hair. He is so seriously staring at Bummie’s face – admiring how lucky he is to get too close. Due to the intense gazing at Bummie – he starts feeling sleepy too – yawns and decides to lie down beside and facing Bummie. He puts his hand gently at Bummie’s face (at this action, Bummie – feeling something cold touches his skin, humms andopens his eyes half-way. However, considers what he sees in front of him, Minnie, as a part of a dream; smiles and closes his eyes again and somehow unconsciously responds to Minnie’s actions); Minnie – dozing off says,

Minnie:            Bummie, wake up..lesssth ppp-wwwaayyyyyyy……huummmm..

Bummie:         (Somewhat, in a state of dream, put his hands on top of Minnie’s hand on his face and replies) hellloo youu, sschhurre..

Taeyang; who is outside the car, after several minutes of no activity and noise emanating from where Bummie and Minnie are - Taeyang decides to check on the two kids. He silently opens the car door – shocked (in a nice way) by what he sees – smiles and says,

Taeyang:         Sir Bummie, you found yourself a soul mate…
