A Cliché Family

A Cliché Family twentythree   Minho is standing in the hallway wearing his new soccer shoes and shin guards. He's about to play his first soccer game and while he's very excited he's also very very nervous. The fact that his entire family has decided to come watch him play is not making his nervousness any smaller. Even Jonghyun is going to come. He's waiting for his father to drive him to the field, the team gathering an hour before the game to warm up.

When Jinki finally enters the hallway Minho is about to die from nervousness. Well, sort of. Jinki dresses so slowly and when they finally exit the apartment Minho can't hide his nervousness any longer. Jinki smiles at him and Minho sends him a smile back. It's just the school team, playing against another elementary school in one of the closest neighborhoods but Minho is proud of even being on the team.

"Are you nervous?" Jinki asks and the 10-year-old boy nods. A lot. But he doesn't voice his nervousness because he's pretty sure his voice will shake if he tries. When Jinki finally pulls up in front of the school, Minho is out of the car in a second. Jinki only sees the boy sprint down the green fields to meet up with his team and smiles a little.

An hour later the family places themselves on the bleachers and overlook the green field. It's not really a stadium of any sort and the bleachers serve more as benches. Jonghyun is the one to catch Minho first. He points to number 10 and Kibum follows the line of his finger, only to light up in a smile.

"Go Minho!" he shouts and both Jonghyun and Minho shrinks a little. Jonghyun hits Kibums shoulder, an embarrassed flush present on his cheeks.

"You're embarrassing, dad." he mumbles but Kibum ignores him and sends Minho a 'fighting'-hand motion, something that has Minho turning around and ignoring his family for good. Kibum doesn't seem the least fazed by it. Taemin is sitting beside Jinki and staring wide-eyed at all the people around him. It's only then that he notices a boy on the team with a darker skin color. He doesn't exactly know the color because it's not really blue or yellow or green but it's definitely not the same as his. So he tells Jinki this.

"What's wrong with his skin color?" he says and points to the boy on the field. Kibum makes a horrified gasp, despite having raised to other sons. Jinki just calmly turns around to face Taemin and smile. Taemin mirrors his smile.

"Nothing," he answers and Taemin's brows furrow. "Skin comes in all different shades." Taemin lights up at that. He understands it now. He climbs down the bench where he's seated and runs towards Minho on the field because he has to tell Minho this amazing revelation. Kibum hurries after him to catch him before he enters the field and interrupts the game. Jinki scoots closer to Jonghyun, who seems to have trouble deciding whether he should be proud of his younger brother, bored or mad at his parents for dragging him to this ridiculous soccer game.

During the half time Jinki leaves Kibum to the teenager and

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 !
