For the past few days, Byun-Park Jongdae had been acting… weird to say the least. He smiled more. He giggled more. He pulled less tricks and pranks. He even remembered to brush his teeth and clean after himself without his parents reminding him. It was frightening. His behavior freaked out his entire family, especially his siblings. (Don’t get me started on Yifan).

It wasn’t noticeable at first. Jongdae’s laughter lasted a tad bit longer while the smiles on his face stayed there for minutes on end. It wasn’t until Minsoon, being the caring little sister she was, confronted her brother and asked, “What did you do to Dae-Dae?” After that encounter, everyone soon began to realize the change that occurred within their precious Jongdae.

Which led the ever so caring parents of this household to host a family meeting. It was the perfect timing. Jongdae was at the Do-Kim’s house for the afternoon, causing his family to finally discuss the changes that happened to said child.

The parents were settled on the loveseat next to the television while the remaining children were piled on the sofa. For minutes, the couple stared at their children in a questioning gaze, as asking them to figure out what happened to their brother. Until a certain dimpled child said, “I have a feeling it has to deal with Sehunnie.” Do-Kim Sehun, also known as Sehunnie, was the best friend of Jongdae, ever since their parents forced them to have a playdate. Due to their friendship, Jongdae spent most of his free time with Sehun. Now that the family thought about it, Jongdae had been spending more and more time with Sehun, more than normal.

It can’t be. Everyone silently thought. Then what can it be?

Little did they know, everything had to deal with Do-Kim Sehun.

“Why are you guys looking at me weirdly?” The first sight that greeted Jongdae when his uncles (Sehun’s parents) dropped him off at his house was his family seated on the sofa, staring at him in an intense gaze. His papa and his dad were settled in the center of the sofa, with his older brothers glued to their sides and his younger sister on his dad’s lap.

“You’re hiding something,” Yifan put bluntly. “And we want to know what it is.”

“I’m not hiding anything.” Jongdae started to shift his eyes nervously around the room, looking everywhere but his family. “I’m telling the truth.”

“Jongdae you are obviously lying!” Minsoon stood up from her dad’s lap and stalked to her brother. The scene looked somewhat hilarious: a ten year old death glaring at someone about four inches taller than her. “Whatever you are hiding can’t be that horrible.”

“Honestly, I’m not hiding anything!” Suddenly a shrill ring interrupted the conversation. Before Jongdae could react, Minsoon swiftly retrieved his phone from his pocket. She then stared at the words on the bright screen. (Jongdae never lowers his screen brightness). It read: Sehunnie <3 >3< <3.

“I don’t believe you.” Minsoon muttered before she passed the phone to the rest of her family.

“What?” Yixing questioned as he stared at the phone with wide eyes.

“This can’t be happening… How can my younger brother have a boyfriend before me? This is going to ruin my reputation.” Yifan panicked.

“What reputation?” Yixing retorted innocently.

“Shut up!” Yifan blushed.

Meanwhile, Chanyeol and Baekhyun stood up from their positions on the sofa and started to pace around the living room.

“Pinch me, Chanyeol.”

“Baekhyun this isn’t happening…”

As his family mentally broke down and started to hyperventilate (read: Chanyeol), Jongdae was silently dying. His family, especially his parents (Chanyeol and Baekhyun were very protective over their children, although they don’t show it at times), were not suppose to find out. He thought he could have kept it a secret for at least a few more years, two at least.

Jongdae did not even know how his relationship with the younger begin. They were thirteen and twelve for Pete’s sake! Their relationship was fairly new, if you count six months new. He just remembered his best friend shyly asking him out to a school social event. The rest was history. They never went past kissing each other on the cheek and holding hands. Their friends knew, yet Jongdae managed to hide his relationship status from his family. To his family, Jongdae and Sehun were best friends.

He wasn’t ashamed of Sehun. Jongdae really really really liked him. He was petrified of his family’s reaction. One does not take the idea of dating at a young age very lightly. Even Jongdae had doubts. Yet seeing the smile on Sehun’s face every time they hugged or held hands managed to remove those negative thoughts.

“Surprise..?” Jongdae smiled sheepishly.

In an instant, Chanyeol fainted.

[“Chanyeol, calm down.”

“How can I calm down! My baby boy has a boyfriend!”

“Chanyeol, if you don’t remember, we started dating at age 11.”

“I can’t allow this!”

“At least it’s Sehun! Not some random dude!”

“That’s the problem! My son cannot date the spawn of Do Kyungsoo! Who, may I remind you, is the reincarnation of  SATAN! I don’t care if he was adopted! Kids are influenced by their parents.”

“... I give up on you!”]
