Continuation...........................................................second page update..........................

Minho’s weakening knee almost to a fold quickly and discreetly sits on a chair to let his emotions settle for seconds and Key notices his form and asks…

“Ken, what is wrong…? Are you feeling alright…?”

Minho nods but raises his left hand and says…

“A bit tired hhhmm…
cause my costume is quite heavy…”

“Aaahhh… okey…
are you alright with not removing your costume…?
(pointing at the body costume part)
Can the body part be removed…?
Or the upper part which is covering your entire head be removed…?”

“No… There is no need.
I can manage but thank you…”

“I want to see your face though but it is alright if you wish not to…”

On the way home, Key requested for Kris and Tao to send Minho home.
Inside the car, Minho removes his costumes surprising the two guys…

“MINHO!!”
Kris and Tao uttering in shock at the same time.

“Yes…
am sorry for not telling you but Auntie Tiffany knew
that it was me all along because Dad told her…”

“You have a good ally Minho-ssi.
It is a good thing that Ma’m Tiffany understood the situation…”

“I think my Dad helped me out there as well as Auntie Tiffany…
yeah… I agree… understood the situation…
(looks at Kris driving) Kris hyung, I learned that they are leaving
for New York in the day after tomorrow.
You know what time…?”

“At 6 o’clock pm…”

“Tao hyung… can you wait for me…
once we reach home.
I would like to write a letter to Key…
May I know who is going to drive them to the airport…?”

Tao points at Kris…

“Kris hyung will drive…letter?”

“Yes… hyung…
Kris hyung, can you give it to Key on the way to
the airport, please…?”

“Sure…by the way, did you not ask his email address…?

“My… why did I forget of that…
I forgot…but do you think Key will give it…”

“You missed the chance…Minho…
but perhaps later, I might be able to dig info about
Key’s email ad so you can just send email to him
via an alias name…”

“Thank you very much Kris hyung and Tao hyung…”

Present Time
Inside Minho’s Room

Tonight Minho in his bed staring at Key’s paintings gets up in a hurry.
He gets out of his bedroom and like his feet having a mind of its own walks him to the almost unvisited place of their house - the attic.
Minho lips twitch having strange feeling grins after thinking like as if every time he moves, the energy in him rises.

With all the memories come flooding his mind and soul as a result, finally, the body aligns - committed, what to do next and exactly as it is when his feet stop at the attic room.
His heart thumps soon as his hand touches the door knob.
A huge smile appears on his face.

And so, Minho opens the attic room and instantly captivated by how it looks like – so maintained and so well-organized.

“Wow…
Yunho hyungs and Changmin hyungs must have
properly preserved and looked after this place all these years…
So beautiful and smells nice as well…
I wonder if…
(spots another door) it is still kept there…”

Minho vividly remembers where he would normally keep it; moves forward and go down on knees and lowering his head under the table.

“Yeeaahh… there you are still…
I thought you were kept in another place good thing they did not…”

Minho squeals in happiness finding the door key plastered on one of the table sides – gets it and gets up, moves to the door and inserts the key in.

Alas, Minho gasps bringing into view, artistically well arranged array of Key’s paintings hanged beautifully in the entire room.
Minho could not believe what he is seeing…and immediately a memory comes just the night before left for New York…

“Sir Donghae good evening, is Minho-ssi here…?”

“Yes… Tao...”

“Dad…
(spots Tao) Oh… hyung…
what brought you here…?”

“Minho-ssi, Sir Key requested me to see Ken but we all know who Ken is…”

Donghae interrupts …
“Oh…
Tiffany and Key will leave tomorrow night, right?”

“Yes, Sir Donghae and it is for this reason that
I am here as per Key’s request…
hold on for a second…
(calls on Suho) Suho, you may bring them here…”

“What is it…?”
Asks Donghae…

“Yeah… hyung… what bring…?”

“hhhmm…
(waits for Suho bringing along things)
Sir Donghae, Minho-ssi, please may we come in…?”

“Oh sorry, please do so...”
