Day 24

A Cliché Family
Please log in to read the full chapter
A Cliché Family twentyfour   It's noisy when Kibum meets up with his new co-workers over a glass of beer. One glass of beer becomes two and two become more. Beer gets replaced with soju and suddenly Kibum is no longer all that sober anymore. His co-workers are laughing over some joke Kibum doesn't understand but he talks anyway. He wants to keep drinking so when the bottle of soju is empty he frowns. He doesn't get to order a new one though because just as he gets up from his chair, he tumbles to the floor.

"ing hell," he mumbles and tries to get up. It doesn't work. He hears someone ask to call a taxi to help him home and he flails on the floor.

"Nonono," he slurs and finds his phone. He doesn't want a taxi to take him home, not when he has a husband that can come pick him up. He knows getting this drunk is sort of embarrassing for a 37-year-old married man but there's nothing he can do about that fact now. Having a taxi take him home is the most embarrassing. A co-worker takes his phone and calls the number Kibum has saved as 'husband'.

Kibum has given up on getting off the floor so he just sits there and counts how many times shoes walk by. He's at 58 (or so he thinks, maybe he missed a couple earlier) when someone picks him up and helps him stand. In front of him is his husband and he doesn't look very happy. Kibum smiles though. He's very happy. He hears Jinki thanking his co-workers before he hears something that sounds like 'let go'. As soon as they're in the warmth of the car, Kibum falls asleep.

Jinki feels awkward. He knows that meeting up with co-workers is normal and usually involves drinking but he's never seen Kibum this drunk (and that says a lot). It's also quite embarrassing when his phone rings and he has to talk to someone named Jinwoon because Kibum is too drunk to speak to him himself. But meeting Kibum's co-workers for the first time because Kibum is too drunk is most embarrassing and Jinki feels really really awkward.

When he parks the car and wakes up Kibum it's to a slightly less intoxicated man but this doesn't mean that Kibum is sober. Not even close. He leans closer to Jinki only to pout when Jinki pushes him a little away.

"Why won't you kiss me?" Kibum whines and Jinki sighs.

"You're drunk. Come, let me help you." Jinki gets out of the car and helps Kibum out as well. The other stumbles and clings to Jinki to keep his balance. Jinki just sighs again. He wasn't expecting a drunk Kibum tonight. He leads them up the stairs to their apartment. The kids are sleeping when they enter. Kibum lets go of Jinki, only to cling onto the wall in order not to fall. "Let's get you to bed, honey," Jinki says and grabs Kibum's shoulders again to steer him in the general direction of the master bedroom. Kibum leans his head back.

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 !
