A Cliché Family twelve   Today is a special day. Jinki knows but nobody else is aware. Today is a very special day. Jonghyun is reading in his books with Kibum while Minho is coloring with his crayons. The two boys are now 7 and 4. Jinki wants it to be today. It's been six years of being with Kibum and Jinki knows it's time. For months he has been planning and now he's finally ready.

He ventures into the kitchen and smiles at the three men at the kitchen table. Jonghyun looks very immersed in his book while Kibum is helping him whenever something gets really difficult or a word gets stuck on his tongue. Minho is coloring more table than paper but no one really cares. They have been talking about buying a new kitchen table anyway and in the end - who doesn't like a little color on the kitchen table? Minho looks up and gets eye contact with Jinki before he smiles wide. His eyes are still big and he is now definitely taller than Jonghyun was at that age. Kibum turns around to watch Jinki before he lights up in a smile.

"Hey babe," he says and Jinki sends him another smile. Jonghyun pats Kibum's shoulder a second after and Kibum returns his attention to the reading boy. Jinki observes his family for a few minutes before he sits down beside Minho.

"Do you want me to help you?" he asks the 4-year-old and Minho shakes his head before he turns hit attention back to the crayons in front of him, grabs the yellow and makes a long on the kitchen table. Jinki just leaves him be and turns to look at Kibum. The other male is black-haired once again after a wide range of hair colors and he looks amazing in his simple white t-shirt and a pair of jeans.

It's rare that Kibum is this simple but Jinki prefers the simple the most. It makes Kibum's striking features glow and it makes Jinki's heart skip a beat.

"Honey, can I talk to you?" he asks and ignores the eye roll Jonghyun sends his way. Jinki doesn't look forward to when he enters his teenage years. Kibum just nods and looks towards Jinki.

"Sure." Jinki can feel his heart beat a little faster when they get eye contact and it's only because he knows what is supposed to happen today. He smiles a little and tries not to show the obvious butterflies in his stomach. Kibum seems to notice his nervousness anyway. "Is it important? Do you want to talk about it in the bedroom?" Jinki cringes when he realizes Kibum asks because he's nervous about what Jinki wants to say. It's not that it's a big deal though so Jinki shakes his head.

"No, I was just wondering if you would go on a date with me tonight without the boys." Jinki beats himself up. It sounds so stupid. Why would Kibum want to go on a date with him without the boys? None of them are young anymore and going on dates are something young people do. Kibum widens his eyes.

"On a date?" he asks skeptically and Jinki nods. "What about the boys? I'm not leaving them home alone." He knows. Jinki knows. The boys can't be home alone so he already called his mother and asked if she could take them. So he tells Kibum exactly that. He feels really bad that Kibum's parents see the kids less than his parents do, but Jinki doesn't have the amount of money to buy Kibum's parents a house in Seoul and he's pretty sure they would like to stay in Daegu anyway.

Kibum smiles and blushes a little though before he nods.

"Sure, I would love to go on a date with you. Are you going to pick me up at 7 then?" he asks and Jonghyun snorts and slams his book shut. He helps Minho off the chair, grabs his hand and drags his brother into the living room, leaving the two men alone in the kitchen. Jinki laughs a little and scratches his hair.

"Do you want me to pick you up like we were 20?"
