A Cliché Family
Please log in to read the full chapter
A Cliché Family Fortytwo Jonghyun is about to pack his things into boxes. He's got his acceptance letter to Korea National University of Arts and he's going to move to the dorm so he's ready to start his education. Jinki and Kibum are proud of him. Neither of them knows exactly how he got in because they have never really heard his music, but they're proud nonetheless. Having a son at K-ARTS is huge and Kibum knows some of the parents in Taemin's class that have older children as well are rather jealous of their oldest son. This of course only adds onto Kibum's pride. Jinki looks up from where he's hunched over a box, trying to tape it closed. Kibum finishes packing the last of Jonghyun's suitcases and claps his hands. Jonghyun turns to look at his fathers with a grateful smile.

"Thanks for helping me," he says and Kibum pulls him into a hug.

"No problem. We're so proud of you," he says for the nth time and kisses Jonghyun's temple. Jonghyun shies away from Kibum. Minho is standing in the doorway. He's observing his fathers and his brother and when he finally takes a step into the room, it's to ruffle Jonghyun's hair just to mock him for his low height.

"Can I get hyung's room now that he moves?" he asks and Jinki sighs a little while Jonghyun tries to push Minho out of his room. Taemin enters just then and jumps onto Jonghyun's now empty bed and sighs in relief.

"No, I want it." Jinki exchanges a tired glance with his husband before he sighs and lifts the closed box and leaves the room. He doesn't want in on it.



The entire family drives Jonghyun to his new dorm. It's a little packed on the backseat with three growing men and the luggage but it works out. Kibum simply closes his ears when they start to argue. They're old enough to fix petty arguments like this themselves. When they park the car, everybody gets a thing or two they have to carry. Neither of them wants to go twice and they're luckily enough people. Jonghyun is going to share his room with another boy named Joonyoung. The other looks like he is trouble and they catch him smoking out of the window when they enter. Kibum can feel his displeasure at the sight of the roommate. He doesn't want Jonghyun around people that can be a bad influence and this man - guy - definitely looks like bad influence.

Jinki just sends the other a smile as if it is perfectly normal for a college student to sit on the window sill and smoke out of the window in order not to get caught. Jinki then turns to his son and brings him in for a hug.

"Take care of yourself Jonghyun." Jonghyun wraps his arms around his father and relaxes in the embrace. He's soon 20 and it should be quite embarrassing but hugging Jinki will never really be embarrassing. Not any longer when he's so close to being grown up. "You know you can always come home during weekends." When Jinki lets go of him, Minho and Taemin gives Jonghyun a hug as well. They don't say much because what is there really to say.

Jonghyun doesn't say anything because he doesn't know how to say goodbye to his brothers. They are only his brothers aft

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 !
