Continuation........................Reality is, when you love animals, it hurts to see them not taken care of
                                          And you want to take them all in but the situation is not favorable..............

Key grimaces at Taemin’s response.
Puts his left arms on Taemin’s shoulder and wiggles the latter’s body…

“Taemin…Hhhmm…
Yeah… I do like him...
But you see I cannot be involved with him
on a deeper level…
Am engaged to Park…”

“Disengage then…!”

“(chuckles) Another silly guy…
My Taeminnie…”

Reaching his room, Key looks at Taemin and nods whispering…

“Oh…you are right…
Own world…Daydreaming…”

“(smirks) Exactly…”

Slowly the two moves in a cat-like manner.
Slowly and carefully determined not to be noticed by Minho – and as they are a foot near looks at each other and nod in agreement…

“MMMIINNNHHHOOO…”

Minho like seeing ghosts quickly gets up rubbing his face.
Realizing his situation, bows his head in embarrassment and swift to a different mood to counter it…

“YYYAAHH…
Why’d you do that…
I almost had a heart attack…”

Taemin approaches Minho making fun of him…

“Someone’s high here…Minho…
How does it feel to be in cloud 9…
So happy ha…?”

“It is just a game…
The opportunity to be with my long lost
friend Key…”

“(gasps) Long lost friend you say Minho…?”
Asks Key…

“Of course, am so happy that I can spend
more quality time with you…
I waited so long for this…!”

“Oh…but Park is here…
He was looking for me…”

Follows Taemin…
“So what now Minho…?”

“Like what I have previously said…
Just do as you please and not be bothered
by my presence…”

“I don’t think that would be okay with
Park and Key, Minho…
Especially during sleeping time…”

“Hhhhmmm… Yeah…
I’d like you to sleep in my room perhaps
together with Taemin – the three of us…
But, with Park right now…
I don’t think you’d be okay with that…
Like what you said, you can decide to sleep
inside Taemin’s room or one of our guest rooms…
Feel free to do so anytime…Okay…”

“(nods) I will…
And for the meantime, I will call Dad and
Jessica to inform them and go back to our
house to get my things…”

Taemin shakes his head in disbelief at Minho’s decisive action.
He says…

“Damn…
What a brave soldier not to lose a battle…”

Yeah…
That’s life…
I don’t know when will I ever have a chance
to be with Key again…
 (winks at Taemin)”

“Stupid guy…”

“Don’t care…
Am off…and be back...
(yells at Key) Bye…Key…
I will be back in a minute…”

Key turns back to answer…
“Okay…See you…”

Minho in full spirit heads towards the almost sliding to open door.
Curious on who might be coming in, he asks…

“Hold the door, please…”

Automatically, he reaches out his arm to assist in opening the door.

It is almost open with head down smiling at the situation, he thinks…

“Wow…Thanks…
Just my luck…a door guy…”

Heads up, a glide of a man passes his way with a sleek well-styled blond hair matched with a literal fashion statement outfit and eyes that sees no one except Key and with his jaw line on view - so clear and sharp right up to below his ear.

Minho involuntarily whispers,

“No wonder…
Wow…
Model…
Exhausting…”

Little does he know, Park hears his last word – turns his face at him.
Park’s eyes meet him at an instant, gazing at him with suspecting eye.
Minho notices the sudden change of his gaze and instantly he knows what it means – he is identified; evident by Park’s hawk-like stare – look intently at him with a sort of hatred, disgust and jealousy.
He thinks quickly…

“Man…
 This is not good…
So intense – is he going to wage war…?
War, he likes – so be it…”

Being with them and at this moment, Taemin could only watch the whole quiet internal conflict between the two and sighs.
He thinks…

“Oh my…oh my…
Stress…stress…
I hope Park does not make a scene…
Am like watching a real-live-drama-show…
Hhhhmmm…
I think I am going to like this…
Character line-up;
Protagonist is Minho,
Antagonist is Park...
And Key would be…
(thinks…) Aaahh…
the capital F…as in…
Focal character…
Yeah…Key is…the center of attention…
The man whose now and future actions and
reactions dominate and would change the
course of the story…
I will love this…
(thinks again…remembers himself…)
And mwah…? Aaasshhh…
(smiles…) Oh…
Of course, I should be important too…
The deuteragonist…Why not…?”
