Continuation.....................so we continue......here we go....writing time......

Minho surprised by Kibum’s voice, raises his head, kisses Kibum on the cheek and hugs him a bit more tightly. The oblivious befuddled Kibum gives Minho questioning looks while endlessly consoling him,

“Minnie, tell me what is bothering you?” says Kibum…

Minho detaches and admires Kibum's innocence mind. He takes a deep breath and gently pulls Kibum's face and let their foreheads touch and replies…

Minho:             Bummie, nothing – It’s probably due to my dream; I woke up and find myself crying…

Kibum:             (looks intensely at Minho and puts hands on the latter's face) aahhh... Minnie, i
                        understand... (kisses Minho's forehead) sshhh... (turns his head and asks) by the way
                        Minnie, how did I manage to get here?

Minho:             (wipes his tears and replies) hhmmm… you fell asleep while I was scrubbing your back… I
                        waited for you to wake up but it didn’t happen so I carried you all the way here and perhaps
                        I got tired I kind of fell asleep too.

Kibum:             Minnie, I am so sorry I fell asleep but (hugs Minho back tenderly and says) but I just want
                        to make sure, are you feeling fine now?

Minho:             (breathes heavily and offers a truthful smile as clear as possible) Yes Bummie, I am fine
                        now…thanks…

Kibum:             (slowly detaches from Minho and grabs his pj clothes) aaahh… I need to change…

Minho:             (gasps in surprise) Oh no, Bummie we have not rinsed yet… let’s rinse first, shall we…

Kibum:             (chuckles in embarrassment) Oh really? Fine then…

He joins Minho at the bathtub and showers himself, grabs the shampoo bottle and generously pours a good amount on his hand and applies it on his hair, later after that, he grabs and rubs the soap on his body, then,

“uuhhh, what is this?” Kibum winces…

Minho:             (surprised) what is Bummie?

Kibum:             (looks at Minho in a confused way) These… (pointing at his s) kinda tingles…

Minho:             (gulps) oh….  Maybe perhaps we stayed long in the water…?

Kibum:             (shrugs it off) hhmm… Perhaps…anyway, quick!… Taemin must have been crazy alone
                        waiting for us…

So they finish off quickly and each grabs towels and heads toward the white glass basins to brush their teeth, when Kibum suddenly notices…

Kibum:             Minnie, look my s are kinda like swollen – both of them and look at my lips, they are
                        a bit swollen too… (shaking his head) aaaissshhh… darn allergies…weird… (and wears
                        his pjs quickly)

Minho:             (flinches at Kibum’s comment, silently and dresses up) Bummie, am done…how about
                        you? 

Kibum:             (surprised, smiles and sprays cologne on his body) yap… me too… Let’s go…

So the two guys head towards the room finding Taemin seriously playing video games, Kibum calls his attention…

Kibum:             (smiles and opens his arms) Taeminnie, sorry to keep you waiting, enough playing let’s go 
                         to bed…

Taemin:           (pouts and glares secretly at Minho and jumps at Kibum for the hug) what took you so 
                        long… I have been waiting here for an hour already…hhmmphh

Kibum:             (smiles) aaiigoo, sorry Minho and I fell asleep while bathing… sorry… (gives Taemin a
                        peck and carries him to the bed) don’t worry, we are here now…

Taemin:           (hides his face to glance at Minho) really now… Minho hyung asleep, I wonder?...

Kibum:             (cups Taemin’s cheeks into an “o” shape) Oh Minnie… don’t be harsh…

So the three lies on the bed being Kibum in between Minho and Taemin; without showing reluctance, Taemin carefully places his body on top of Kibum and snuggles his head on the other’s chest.  Kibum chuckles at Taemin’s cute mischief and hugs him back. Minho feels a pang of jealousy but respects Taemin’s feelings towards Kibum, contents himself by just watching in the sideline and enjoys watching Kibum actions. 

“Aahhh… I can't stop feeling regretful that my brother's a rival for Kibum’s love and attention…” he thinks…

In few minutes, Kibum’s face changes to a serious mood…

“Guys, there is something very important I need to tell you, so please listen carefully…” says Kibum.
