A Cliché Family six   "I want a child," says Kibum suddenly. They're sitting in the car, cups of coffee in the cupholder. They're on their way back to Seoul after having visited Kibum's parents in Daegu. Jonghyun is left in the care of his grandparents and Jinki is fairly sure the boy will be spoiled even more rotten than he already is. Kibum's parents love the boy to death.

When Kibum first introduced Jinki as his boyfriend, his mother had heaved a heavy sigh. She knew of and accepted his homouality but the thought of never having any grandchildren had saddened her. When Kibum then told his parents that Jinki had a son, she had been skeptical. When she met the boy she had fallen head over heels. Much like any other person that meets Jonghyun. After that it had only been a pleasure to visit Kibum's parents.

With Kibum's words though Jinki is close to choking on his coffee and he turns to look at the other, wide-eyed. It only causes Kibum to shout 'watch the road!' and Jinki returns his gaze to the road in front of them.

"W-what?" he says silently and Kibum just sighs a little.

"I want a child, Jinki. I want a bigger family. I want Jonghyun to have siblings." Jinki stops at the first rest area he finds on the highway. When the car is finally parked, he turns to look at Kibum. Kibum is looking into the lid of his coffee and it almost seems as if he's shy. Jinki blinks again.

"Are you sure?" Kibum looks up from his coffee at that and scoffs.

"Of course I'm sure!" He almost sounds offended and Jinki bites his lower lip slightly. He never thought of adopting another kid, of having two. He was content with Jonghyun. It's not that he isn't aware of the cons of being an only child, he is an only child himself. But so is Kibum so Jinki never really imagined him to want more than Jonghyun. It's February and they're sitting in a car, coffee slowly getting colder as they look at each other.

"Let's talk about this when we get home," Jinki says. The rest of the ride is disturbingly quiet.



They don't get to talk about it when they get home. Kibum gets busy with a new advertising project and Jinki leaves for a couple of days for a seminar in the USA. This was the reason they had left Jonghyun in his grandparents' care in the first place but now neither of the two men can really focus on their projects. Jinki calls home one evening, time differences catching Kibum in the middle of the day. Kibum is busy picking colors when his phone rings. He smiles when he sees the caller ID and picks up.

"Let's adopt another child" is what greets him and his breath catches in his throat. They should have been discussing this but Jinki seems sure so Kibum can't help the smile that spreads on his face. His assistant sends him another smile.

"Really?" Kibum asks and he can almost hear Jinki's smile in his voice when he answers.

"Yes."



It's March when Jinki brings Jonghyun and Kibum to the orphanage with him. They're looking for a baby because they're both sure they won't be able to handle an older child. At the same time, they need someone who won't be embarrassed to have 2 fathers and it's easier if it's an infant. The lady in charge looks at them with skepticism when they enter. She greets them nonetheless and shows the few babies they have at the moment.

Most of the children are of Jonghyun's age or older. It's not a lot of children that are left as newborns but it happens. Jonghyun is running aro
