A Cliché Family Thirtyeight   When Jinki opens the door to Jonghyun's room on April 8th he's followed by the rest of his family. Jonghyun is sleeping. It looks like he fell asleep late last night but they have to do this now because they all need to go to work and school - well, except Jonghyun who forgot to send out college applications and therefore is doing nothing after he graduated high school. He can sleep again when they all leave the house.

Taemin climbs into Jonghyun's bed and hogs his covers. The 8-year-old is still tired. Kibum rolls his eyes. They wake up Jonghyun with a song and he yawns. It's a nice morning and the breakfast Kibum has prepared tastes amazing. They're late as usual when Jonghyun kicks them out of the house and wishes them a good day.

He spends the next 3 hours sleeping. He's turning 19 today which means he's coming of age - he's legally an adult now and this also means that he can drink legally. Something his friends are going to take advantage of later in the day. He doesn't spend the time he's alone very productively. He writes a few lyrics, almost everything he's written in the past two months have been heartbreaking break-up songs and although he's still hurting from his breakup with Sekyung he thinks that maybe it's on time he writes something else. His thoughts don't prevent him from writing another heartbreaking break-up song, though.

He's searching through the kitchen for something edible when his phone vibrates with a new text message. He lazily checks it to find an older friend of his asking him if they can celebrate his birthday at this club. He agrees and only then wonders if Jinki and Kibum would be alright with it. It only takes a shrug for him to dismiss the worry, he's an adult now - he can do what he wants to do, right?

Taemin and Minho arrive home first, but neither really minds their brother. Taemin grabs a banana milk in the refrigerator and Minho rummages through the freezer, only to complain that they're out of ice cream. Jonghyun retreats to his own room. Jinki comes home next and he is not letting the boys stay in each of their rooms so he gathers them all in the living room. Minho finds a game to play with Taemin on the play station and Jonghyun sits on the couch to observe the game on the tv and root for Taemin because Minho is a bad loser and it's extremely funny to provoke him. Jinki sits down beside him.

"Be nice to your brother," he says after Jonghyun shouts a particularly venomous curse at Minho. Jonghyun just ignores his father. Minho knows it's not that bad.

"Oh, yeah, dad," the now-adult says and turns around to look at Jinki. "I'm going to meet up with my friends at Studio tonight so I won't be eating dinner at home." Jinki's brows furrow instantly.

"Studio?" he asks and Jonghyun nods.

"It's a night club," says Minho and Jinki raises his eyebrow at the 16-year-old boy who just shrugs, returns to their game and exclaims 'you're such a cheater, Taem! you'. Jinki returns his attention to Jonghyun.

"Are you going to drink?" Jinki doesn't know how he feels about it. He still doesn't know how well the boy holds his liquor (for obvious reasons) and he would have preferred that the boy got drunk at home fi

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 !
