Continuation...................................Sixth Page.................

Key still settling hisself down looks straightly at Minho then examines the area then back again at the latter saying…

“Minho…Minho…”

“Yes…Key…
It is Minho…
What happened to you…
You kind of suddenly fainted to sleep for several minutes?
Kris hyung and I were trying to wake you up
but you were like in a coma unconsciously breathing…”

“(rise up) Uuugghh…I am so sorry…
(looks at Kris) Kris…am so sorry…
(then suddenly remembers asks)
Kris, how long have you and the others have been
with us in this house…?”

“During the time when Ma’m Tiffany was a teen-ager,
we were still toddlers at that time living in one of
the houses nearby of course inside the compound.
Our parents were already working for your family
especially your very kind Dad…”

Key nods finally finding out who he was referring as hyungs in his flashback…

“Now…I..see…Mr. Kris…
(looks at Minho) Hold on for a minute Minho,
I just want to ask something…”

“(nods) Okay…no problem…

“Kris…who is Ken…?

Minho upon hearing Key’s question looks at Kris and makes a discreet gesture of shaking his head then impassively looks back at Key expressing concern.

“Sir…?”

“Yes… you heard me…
Who is Ken…?
(looks at Minho) Minho-ssi, I am sorry.
What happened to me during that what you
thought I was in a coma…
I just had a snippet flashback of my childhood
days however was cut halfway by you and Kris
sending me back to reality…now...
(looks back at Kris) Kris…tell me…who is Ken…?”

Kris realizing the condition both he and Minho are in quickly thinks of a way to get himself out of this situation.

“aaahhh…I remember Ken…
He was a kind sweet kid you brought that
Halloween time…”

Key:                (nods) Yes…Yes…Have you seen his face…?
                       I was not able to see his face cause
                       he was in a costume almost covering his entire body with a pumpkin suits…
                       Or do you know where he lives…?

Kris:                We were the ones requested by Ma’m Tiffany to send him back…

Key:                (eyes brightened up) OH YOU SEND HIM BACK…

Kris taken aback by Key’s reaction quips and thinks…

 “Oh …what have I gotten myself into…
Oh goodness… I need to think of a way out…
Or else Minho will definitely gonna be in trouble…”

Kris:                Yes…
                       We did but on our way sending him back to his place.
                       He did not remove his costume although we also requested.
                       Sir Key, sorry I could not remember
                       cause it was only one time and it was dark…

Key:                (sighs) Oh my…this could be hard…wait…
                       Ken spoke comfortably with Uncle Donghae…
                       I wonder, if he happens to know…but, of course…
                       It was a impulsive move to ask Uncle Donghae to
                       accompany him on his way back home…
                       (takes a deep breath) Nevermind…

Minho:             (exhales in relief) Key…come on…
                       You need to meet and greet our classmates as well my friends…

Minho panicking over him telling Key few weeks back inside his own room discussing about his memorabilia, his pumpkin suit and especially the magical ring; discreetly nudges Kris to convince Key to move ahead.

“Sir Key…
Ma’m Tiffany has endlessly been asking of you…”

“(getting his grip) Oh…Okay…
(looks at Minho and chuckles)
Minho…
You look like in a great state of panic…
Calm down…am ready…”

“(pretending in a hurry) Well…
If I had not drag you out from your laptop you
would not even bother to attend…”

“(nods) Okay…okay…am sorry…
Let’s all head down…”

“I will go ahead Sir Key, Minho-ssi…
I will go and check Suho and others…”

Key and Minho nod at the same time.
