The Canvass and The BallContinuation....................This should be it................Have a nice day everyone.........
Minho jerks off the sad feeling and looks at Key wearing the happiest face on earth.
“Nothing…
Am just excited that I can work after graduation and
help Dad…
That is all…”
“Okay…
So which sports you’d like to watch first…
and tell me in order so we can arrange the time…”
“That would be…
Hockey, Horseracing, and of course, my favorite…
soccer…”
“Fine…
Tomorrow, we will go to Canada to watch hockey game live…
Three days after, let’s come back here.
There is one big race event that will happen here and
then go to London for soccer…
Are these alright with you…?
The itinerary…?”
Minho turns pale and having hard time breathing and then Key notices the other’s stale situation; he moves closer and lightly taps Minho’s face to come back to his own senses.
“Oi…Oi…Minho…Oi…
What must I do…
He is in a state of dreaming again or shock…
I wonder if he is always like this all the time…
(thinks) Hhhhmmm…
Sorry Minho if I have to do this…”
Key clenches his fist and raises it upward and pound it at Minho’s head…
***TTHHUUDD****
“Oouucchh…!”
“Oh…so you are alive after all…
I was calling and tapping your face several times and
you didn’t seem to budge so I have to do something different…
You looked so trance almost like a zombie…
Sorry…Something wrong…?”
“Hhhmm…
Am just overwhelmed with what you have just said…
I mean do we really have to watch a live game…
We can watch it on screen…
We don’t have to travel…”
“Aaaiii…Minho…
What purpose do we have in the first place…?
At least now, we have a plan where to go…
And besides, we are supposed to travel to different places.
It’s merely like hitting two birds at one stone…
Where you see new places and chance to see live games…
Maybe for now, new to you then perhaps in the future
you can travel on your own to watch live games…
You like the idea…?”
“(nods) Yes… I do…
Thanks Key…Am so excited…
It has been one of my dreams to watch live games that
only I can watch on screen…”
“For today, we can go shopping, watch movies and go
for a stroll in nice places…
It should be fun too…”
Minho suddenly remembers Key’s situation speaks on worried tone…
“But Key…Remember…?”
“What…?”
“You are not allowed to go out and be exposed…
People might recognize you and do something crazy…
I fear for your safety…”
“Aaahhh…About that, no need to worry…
I can successfully put on a creative disguise of myself
in any appearance like; wearing natural hair extension,
puts on freckles, moles, pimples or birthmarks, wear
huge sunglasses…etc…
Piece of cake…
Back in the days, Mom would think I was just inside my
room but what she didn’t know was, I was out for an
adventure by myself.
So I know exactly each and every places of places
I have visited…
Which is exactly what I am going to do later when we leave…
Am an artist remember…?”
“Sure…”
“Are you belittling my abilities…?”
“No…
(smiling bashfully) Of course not…
Well…Am excited how you’d appear later…”
“Watch and see…!!
So get ready and we will be leaving right away…
We will use my bike…”
At Minho’s surprise…
“WWHHAATTT…?!”
“You heard that…I said bike…
what is wrong with a bike…
Have you not ridden a bike before…?”
“No…have not…”
“Oh…Are you afraid to ride with me…?”
Minho shakes his head embarrassed by his reaction responds…
“No…! I am not…!
I am just surprised…
I thought of you as someone with a lot of aids doing
errands all the time…
Like a chauffeur…”
“Silly…And right now, don’t you notice anything…?”
“What…?”
“Aaahhh… hopeless Minho…slowpoke…
You and I are the only ones here…
You see anybody aside from us…?”
“No…Yeah…None…?”
“I maybe a focused painter or sculptor but I do have
that other side of me which is this…
This is the other side of me that you will know…
How about you…
have another facet of your personality…?”
“No…I guess you already know me too well by now…”
“There might be other traits hidden under your sleeves…
you know…or perhaps about to be awakened…”
“Maybe…”
“Then…We will see…
Hhhmm… Anyway, get ready; we need to leave early
so we can enjoy the rest of today…
Come I will show you your room so you can change…”
“Okay…”
Minho finishes first waiting patiently by the porch of Key’s penthouse place entertaining himself watching the panoramic beauty above and below.
He lets out a deep sigh as he fixes his fringe brushed by the wind.
He could not stop feeling a sense of disturbing mix of happiness and sadness in his entire body.
Key checks on Minho, takes a deep breath seeing the latter staring at a blank space grabs Minho’s hand and squeezes it – surprising the latter.
“HA…!”
“Minho, don’t think of the future too much…
It will wear your heart and mind out…Okay…?”
Minho nods and smiles.
