A Cliché Family Twentynine   Kibum closes the door after Jonghyun and sighs a little. He's home alone with Jinki and although he's not sad to be alone with his husband, it's been quite some time ago they've been completely alone like this in the apartment. Kibum turns around in the hallway and goes back into the apartment. Jinki closes his laptop just when Kibum enters the living room. Kibum places himself beside Jinki on the couch and places his head on Jinki's shoulder. There's quiet in the apartment but it's a nice silence so neither of the two men says anything. Jinki rubs Kibum's back and Kibum hums a little in pleasure.

"I've been thinking," the youngest says and lifts his head so he can look at Jinki. Jinki continues rubbing his back but looks at him with a questioning gaze that urges Kibum to keep talking. "Don't you think it's about time we find somewhere else to live?" They've been living in the same second-floor apartment for the past almost 16 years and it's starting to get a little cramped. It was fine when Taemin was small but they had had to remove the office into the living room. It was not optimal workspace. Jonghyun and Minho have started to complain that their rooms are too small as well. Having two teenagers in a second-floor apartment was not easy either. Jinki turns to look at him.

"You want us to buy a house?" Kibum shrugs.

"I don't know. Maybe it doesn't have to be a house but ... I think the boys would appreciate it as well if we were to move somewhere else. I know, the kids would probably have to change schools and Minho would probably hate it, but it would be easy for Jonghyun to transfer into a new high school and Taemin would benefit immensely from getting new classmates." He looks at Jinki, who says nothing and he feels a little stupid. Maybe it was a stupid suggestion. They should just get by, they did live in this apartment for years, he's sure they can continue living here. Jinki then nods.

"That's not a bad idea, babe." Kibum widens his eyes in surprise at that.

"Really?" he asks in surprise and Jinki nods with a smile.

"Really."

Kibum lights up and reaches out to grab Jinki's laptop again. The device is placed on Jinki's thighs as Kibum once again leans into his husband. They start searching for houses and spend a couple of hours, looking at this and that. They search schools in the area, they try to make sure they have money enough but they're economically well-off so it'll probably not be a problem to finance a house. Kibum starts talking about the interior decor of the house, which new furniture they'll have to buy. When he starts talking about how he wants to decorate the boys' rooms Jinki has to stop him.

"Let the boys decorate their own rooms, honey." Jinki laughs when Kibums pouts. It's starting to get a little late. Jinki pats Kibums shoulder and kisses his temple. "How about dinner?" Kibum groans at that. He doesn't want to cook and he doesn't want Jinki to cook either. They're so comfortable on the couch and he doesn't want to let go of his husband. He knows they're going to eat something though.

"I don't know. I don't really want to cook," Kibum admits and Jinki hums a little and places another kiss on his temple.<
