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.
