It was a long time ago – one fine day…
Inside the room, Key is busy painting Park when suddenly knocks coming on the door causing for Key to pause for awhile and goes towards the door to check it out.
Key: (smiles) Yes Mom…
What can I do…?
Tiffany: (hugs Key then greets Park)
Hi Hyeonggie…
Park: (smiles waving back at Tiffany)
Hi Auntie…
Am sorry I cannot stand and kiss you.
My body is obligated.
Tiffany: (smiles) It is okay Hyeonggie…
(looks at Key) Hon…
Your Aunt Sunny and Uncle Kangin are here together
with their only son, Taeminnie…
I would appreciate it if you have a time to meet them…
Key: (makes a whiffing facial reaction then smiles)
Mom…come on…
Of course, I would be very happy to meet them…
Do not treat me so important Mom…
I give you full authority to order me…
Tiffany: Baby…thank you…
I mean, I know am your Mom but sometimes I feel
embarrassed to bother you even to just like whine or complain…
Key: (giggles) Silly Mom… but wait, hold on…
(goes to Park) Hyeonggie…
Can I leave you for a moment here…
Mom’s brother is here with his family. I might spend a
lot of time with them because this is the first time
meeting them.
Will you be alright here alone and wait…?
Or you may change and go down later…
Park: (shakes his head) Hon… It is a family matter.
I will be alright here…Go…
I will be fine.
I will just rest or might sleep in the process.
If so, just wake me up when you come back…
Key: (kisses Park’s lips) Okay…
Thanks…rest well then…
Key moves on greets Tiffany and both walk out of the room.
Meanwhile downstairs, Kangin’s family are having a family conversation while waiting for Tiffany and Key to go down.
Kangin: (staring at Sunny) Hon… you will love my sister.
She is so nice as well as my nephew.
I met my nephew twice already and let me tell you,
he is something.
His name is Key.
Sunny: (smiles) Thank you for making me comfortable and confident.
I am really quite nervous right now, to be honest.
I mean, Tiffany has been on the limelight and this is the
first time I and Taeminnie here are going to meet you
sister and her son.
Kangin: (takes a deep breath)
Don’t worry, my sister and nephew are really nice and
both of you will really like them.
Taemin: (looks suspiciously at his father)
Are you sure Dad…
I heard Aunt Tiffany’s son, Key is world’s treasure.
Sunny: (gasps in surprise)
What do you mean world’s treasure…
(looks at Kangin) Hon…
You might want to tell me about Tiffany’s son Key.
I do not want to look like a fool in front of them.
Kangin: (sighs and looks at Taemin)
Tae…
How did you know about it…?
It is something my sister does not want to talk about or
brag about telling people about Key.
Taemin: (puffing in amazement as he looks back at his father to reply)
Dad… Are you kidding me…?
What do you think you take me for that I would not care
knowing who my family is…?
I have good contacts.
Kangin: (exhales loudly defeated by Taemin’s argument)
Fffiinnee…
Sunny: (pats Kangin’s back) Hon…
We are family…
We ought to know…
Now, would you care telling me…?
Kangin: (looks serious with a sense of pride)
Key is world’s national treasure in the field of arts –
meaning, Key’s gifted ability for painting and sculpting
are recognized worldwide.
Whenever he’d join competition, he’d win.
And here is a secret…
(takes a deep breath)
The cost of every work he does for instance,
one painting starts from two million dollars.
Taemin: (interrupts looking at Kangin in a screwed up face)
Dad…aahh…
You have been misinformed…
Kangin: (surprised by Taemin’s statement)
What…?
Taemin: One of my business associates bought one of his pricey
paintings costing around 10 million US dollars onwards…
