A Cliché Family Thirtysix   Jonghyun is waiting nervously. He's pacing around in the living room while he silently mutters words of encouragement to himself. Jinki helps Kibum set the table in the kitchen. The dinner is almost ready and they're waiting for a very special guest. It's November and Jonghyun has finally invited Sekyung over for dinner. He confessed to her in June but he hasn't told his fathers this bit of information yet. All they know is that she's Jonghyun's crush. He's just hoping they won't be extremely embarrassing. Minho saunters into the kitchen and sits down in a chair.

"I'm hungry," the boy complains and Kibum ruffles his hair and smiles.

"I know, but we have to wait for Sekyung." Minho isn't extremely fond of Jonghyun's girlfriend now that she's the reason he's starving. Taemin joins them in the kitchen a few minutes later, only to plop down on the chair beside Minho and yawn. He's been working hard on his dancing these last couple of months. Jonghyun continues his pacing. He's in his own mind completely so he gets a shock when Jinki asks him when he thinks she'll be there. It only takes 30 seconds before the doorbell rings and Jonghyun freezes. She's here.

"Open the door." Kibum prods at him with his spatula and sends him a wide smile before Jonghyun hurries into the hall to open the door. He hears someone come up behind him when he opens the door but the sight that greets him is enough to remove the thought of whoever has crept up behind him. In front of him stands Sekyung with a nervous smile. She's dressed in a pair of jeans and a pretty shirt and her long her is styled slightly wavy. Jonghyun has to try hard not to blush.

"Hey," he says and she sends him a smile and greets him as well. The moment is interrupted when Kibum comes into the hall to greet the 18-year-old girl.

"You must be Sekyung? I'm Jonghyun's father Kibum, nice to meet you!" He extends his hand for Sekyung to shake and the girl smiles when she bows. It's then Jonghyun remembers that he sort of forget to mention that he has two fathers and he freezes up. . Why was he stupid enough to keep this from Sekyung? He knows homouality is still looked down upon some places. He just silently begs to someone that Sekyung isn't homophobic. She laughs a little at his tensed stature and takes his hand.

"Jonghyun, come." It's weird that it's Sekyung that drags Jonghyun into the house and not the other way around but it works and Jonghyun forgets his worries about homophobia. Minho just introduces himself and Taemin smiles a wide smile and waves. Jinki is in the kitchen, putting the last things on the table and he turns around to greet the two teenagers that are hand in hand. Kibum squeals silently from behind them and Jinki can't help but chuckle at his husband.

"Oh hey, I'm Jinki. I'm also Jonghyun's father," he says and also he shakes hands with Sekyung and she bows. She looks a little confused but Minho groans just when she's about to ask a question.

"I'm hungry, can we eat now?" Kibum wacks him on the head but smiles and tells people to start eating. Sekyung is sort of shy during dinner but Kibum and Jinki try their hardest to make it comfortable. Jonghyun wants to die. When Jinki asks if he shall tell a joke Minho thankfully jumps in to save Jonghyun the embarrassment.

"Dad, no. No jokes." Jinki slumps a little but Kibum his back soothingly. The food tastes good but it's to be expected. Kibum had been preparing for weeks for this dinner. They learn that Sekyung is the same age as Jonghyun, born in July just like Taemin and that she likes to cook when she isn't studying. She wants to be an actress and she has already made applications for colleges around in Korea. Jonghyun slumps a little when Kibum sends him a look, but he says nothing. Minho gets up from the table when he's done and he's dragging Taemin with him into the living room so they can play something on the play station.
