A Cliché Family twentytwo   When Jinki goes to bed that night it's to find Kibum already tucked into his sheets. The air condition is maximum to help the August heat stay away. Jinki tries his best not to disturb his already sleeping husband when he finds his way down under the sheets as well, an arm loosely slung over Kibums hips. He falls asleep a few minutes later. But the two of them are not the only ones sleeping in the house.

Jonghyun, who has his own air condition maximum as well, is tossing and turning while he fights monsters in a nightmare. First the monster eats Taemin, swallows him up like he's nothing but a single tteokbokki on a stick. Then the monster charges after Minho who runs and runs but never escapes. Jonghyun is frozen on the spot and he can only watch while the monster splits his brother in two. The monster then changes direction and lunges for Jonghyun but he's pushed away, only to see his father being speared. He wants to cry. He really really wants to cry or wake up.

When he finally does wake up it's with a gasp and sweat running down his forehead. He fights off the chills that run down his spine. What did Dad say about nightmares? Read a book. He gets up, turns on his reading lamp and finds the fairytale he started reading yesterday. It's a book for school but it's a fairytale so Jonghyun thinks it can do its purpose. Except it doesn't and he keeps seeing the monster eating his family members. So Jonghyun scrambles out of bed and goes into the kitchen to get a glass of water. Something must help, right? He wants to go back to sleep but he's not sure he can sleep when the monster is only waiting for him so he can kill them all again. Jonghyun drinks a glass of water but that doesn't remove the monster either.

In the end he accepts defeat and sneaks into the master bedroom. The double bed is not huge per se but there's definitely enough space for him as well. So he climbs into bed with his fathers, settles between them and falls asleep. With his fathers to protect him, there's nothing to be afraid of.

Taemin doesn't like sleeping alone. He was put to bed last night alone though, his fathers leaving him in the bed that serves to be his. But he definitely does not like it. So when he wakes up around 2 am and realizes he's all alone in the darkness he starts crying. This, of course, wakes up Kibum, who is the lightest sleeper of the two fathers and he hurries to find the 2 year old crying. He's tired and groggy and doesn't really think when he lifts Taemin off of his bed and carries him back to bed. It's only then that he finds the 12 year old Jonghyun sleeping beside his father and Kibum rubs his tired eyes. Jonghyun is not supposed to be sleeping with them. Kibum sets Taemin in the double bed and nudges Jonghyun a little.

"Jonghyun," he whispers in order not to wake up Jinki. Jonghyun stirrs and slowly opens his eyes. He looks just as tired as Kibum feels. "What are you doing here?" Kibum asks and Jonghyun sits up in the bed so he can look at Kibum.

"Nightmare," he mumbles

Chapter 2: Ahhh, can I just say how much I love the father-son relationship between Jinki and Jonghyun?? Like, it’s so adorable seeing how attentative Jinki is towards Jonghyun. ;w; These two are just so cute, oorz-

Buttt, the OnKey scenes. :D I may or may not have died on multiple occasions:
1. The mere fact that Jinki just called Kibum ‘babe’ had me dying on my couch (not really, still-)
2. When Jinki asked Kibum to speak human or else Jonghyun will continue learning his ‘weird noises’. X’D Duuude, that’s so funny. :’D
3. Jinki pecking Kibum on the cheek. I can’t, okay? I know it’s small and simple, but you made me fall in love with small and simple. (QvQ)
4. Jinki laughing at Jonghyun hitting Kibum, and the pout on Kibum afterwards. X’D Ahhh, poor Kibum. ;v;
5. Kibum complaining about not getting enough kisses, and Jinki’s promise to give him some later. [wiggle brows] Okay, I’m sorry, I’ll stop-
6. Jinki comforting Kibum after what happened between Jonghyun and Comme Des. (QAQ) Aww, it’s okay, Kibum. With time, I’m sure Jonghyun would also feel safe around you. <3
7. The kisses that Jinki promised Kibum. X’D Period.

Seriously, this family (can we call it one yet?) of three is just adorable, I dare anyone to say otherwise! (O^O)

Chapter 1: I was squealing over Jonghyun at first. He’s so adorable! It’s so cute to see how Jinki is so soft towards Jonghyun and how he can’t deny Jonghyun anything. Aha, he could be a great father if he wasn’t giving his son ice cream to eat. (^^”) Still, an awesome father with an adorable kid and the interaction is just so heart fluttering! <3

And then, Kibum came into the picture, and I may or may not have fainted. I mean, I can’t don’t, okay? I really like how Kibum is fond of Jonghyun and how honest he is about wanting to date Jinki. X’D His reactions are just golden and I love every bit of the OnKey moment.

Ahhh, I’m already loving this! CX

I just can't believe that it took me this long to find this. Maybe because I don't read chaptered ones so oftenly. But I'm more than glad I started reading this one. It's just so cute!!! TT TT And yes, I read all the chapters. When I finished reading the last one (Q/A) I didn't realize it was the last so I was looking for the 'Next' option and there was no such a thing and I felt like crying for real TT TT This is just so beautiful. I love it so so soooo much!! I can't describe in words how much I love your story. Seriously, this is the most beautiful story I've ever read. You made me really really happy with this. I love you!!! And you're not going to end it, right? It's not completed yet, right? Hope you'll update soon. You did a really great job authornim. Clap clap clap!! Hehe...

Chapter 22: Aaawww this is so cute *w*
I feel so tired for them lmao, especially onkey ! How do they even manage to handle those kids... Having kids is tiring (>.<)
Toddler Taemin walking up and down the aisle with his dads (;-;) my weak heart... That's so adorable ♥
For a moment I expected Jinki and Minho to race for real... Guess we'll never know who'd win (Minho would, wouldn't he)
SHINee sleeping on each other's shoulders is one of my favorite concepts ♥
Yaaah ! Why do kids never listen when you tell them something ? Tsk...
I agree with them, they shouldn't take the train again... It's too burdensome with the kids
Thank you for the update, Minji ! :D It was cute ♥ I liked it !
