How I Met Your Appa

Description

Everyone in EXO is married and has kids. They don't work in EXO anymore, but all have separate jobs. One day in the year 2032 they decide to tell their kids the story of how they met - the whole story (including all the different relationships).

 

"Warning":

Luhan, Wu Yi Fan and Huang Zitao are in the story, as they are a big part of it - both the past and the present. Their departure from EXO will be mentioned.

Baekhyun and Taeyeon's relationship will be mentioned, but they will both end up with another. This is not because I had anything against their former relationship.

Everything in this story is completely for entertainment's sake and any resemblance to another fanfic is coincidental. Any events in the story is purely fictional and has nothing to do with negative feelings for the characters.

(By the way, I know Changjo's real name is Jonghyun, but since there is already another (actually two others...) it would seem weird to name one more child Jonghyun)

Also, I do not own any of the pictures or gifs that are used! Credit goes to the owners!!

Foreword

XiuHan

Kim Lu family: 

Kim Minseok (45) and Lu Han (45) married in 2017 with a small wedding hidden from the public and media, though they had to announce it due to their first born child. They started dating in 2014. They have three kids all by the use of a surrogate mom, the first born in 2019. Minseok works in and owns a coffee shop, where he makes and serves it for his guests. Lu Han is a part time actor - as he doesn't want to be apart from his family for too long - and coaches the school's football team. Their kids call them appa (Minseok) and baba (Lu Han).

 

Kim Lu Ji Yong: (real life: G-dragon of Big Bang)

Ji Yong is 12 years old and XiuHan's first-born child. His biological father is Minseok. Ji Yong is in an age where he defies his parents, though he loves them very much and usually ends up doing what he's told. He's the oldest and is protective of his siblings, though he tries not to show it. He's tough on the outside, but has an emotional heart. In the big family of EXO, he's the only 12 year old, and therefore mostly hangs out with the 7-9 year olds.

 

Kim Lu Sohee: (real life: Ahn Sohee, former member of Wonder Girls)

Sohee is 9 years old and XiuHan's only daughter. Her biological father is Minseok. Sohee is shy, but speaks forward when she's comfortable (mostly when Kim Lu family is alone). As her older brother sometimes needs his alone time, she takes care of herself and her younger brother. Out of the EXO clan, her best friends are Amber and Luna in her own age group, and likes to think of Namjoo and Hayoung as her younger sisters.

 

Kim Lu Chanhee: (real life: Chunji of Teen Top)

Chanhee is 7 years old and the youngest child of XiuHan. His biological father is Lu Han. Chanhee is shy at first, but then honest and comfortable. He likes to be taken care of, as he is the youngest in his family, and is not used to being in charge when being with his cousins. In contrast to his shy-like image, he likes excitement. He is slightly clumsy and is not very good at wild ball games. His best friends are Byunghun, Aron and Luna.

 

Wu family:

Wu Yi Fan (45) and Zhang Yixing (44) married in 2019 and started dating in 2014. They adopted a son in 2024, born in May 21. Their wedding was small and hidden, just as XiuHan's. The family lives in China. Yi Fan is a popular actor and Yixing is the CEO of his own studio in China. By their son they are called dad (Yi Fan) and baba (Yixing). As Yi Fan is a former leader, he feels very responsible towards them all and wants to take care of them.

 

Wu Aron: (real life: Aron of NU'EST)

Aron is 8 years old. His dads has taught him how to speak Chinese, Korean and English. His best friends are Byunghun, Chanhee and Amber. Aron is responsible towards the other kids - when he's needed to. But when he's not, he's very silly minded and childlike, coming up with weird ideas and doing what he can to make his cousins entertained. He likes to play basketball, taught from Yi Fan.

 

Kim family:

Kim Joonmyun (44) and Kim Taeyeon (46) married in 2018 right after EXO disbanded in 2018. Girls' Generation disbanded in 2017. They had waited to get married until both bands had split up, as they are both responsible leaders and didn't want to create attention on their relationship. Their wedding was media covered and big. The couple started dating in 2015, with the help of Baekhyun as he continued faking his relationship with the woman. They have two kids, first-born in 2023. The couple are very busy, being CEO and manager of SM, and don't always have much time for their two kids. Joonmyun are called appa by their kids, and Taeyeon eomma.

 

Kim Amber: (real life: Amber of f(x))

Amber is 8 years old. As her parents have always been very busy, she has learned to take care of herself and her younger brother. Not that she doesn't need her parents, but she has learned to talk for herself and make her own opinions. She is strong minded and caring and tries not to let her emotions show to her baby brother, when she is sad or angry. She only wants the best for him. But she still loves her parents very much. Though she took a decision of cutting her hair short, without her parents’ approval. She is very good friends with all her cousins on her age - also including Ji Yong of age 12.

 

Kim Minki: (real life: Ren of NU'EST)

Minki is 5 years old. He is shy at first when meeting people, even when it is people he knows. But after a while he lets his wall fall down and is his usual demanding, happy and silly self - and he always finds a way to get what he wants. When the young kids play, he's usually the one in charge, but the others don't mind. He listens to his sister well and sometimes needs her more than his parents, as she has been a very big part of his young life. Though he also often needs his mom as small kids do. His best friend is Jonghyun and he doesn't like to share him with others.

 

Park family:

Byun Baekhyun (43) and Park Chanyeol (43) started dating in 2012, making the first lasting couple, and they married in 2022. Their wedding was media covered and very big. They have one child using a surrogate mom, born in 2026. After EXO, Baekhyun performed as a successful solo artist for some years, but now he is a stay-at-home parent, wanting to be with his child. Chanyeol writes song lyrics for artists, and usually works at home. In 2028 Chanyeol's sister and brother-in-law dies in a car accident, leaving their daughter at age 4 with Chanyeol and Baekhyun. By their son they are called appa (Chanyeol) and eomma (Baekhyun), and by their niece they are called uncle (Chanyeol) and auntie (Baekhyun).

Park Taehyung: (real life: V of Bangtan Boys)

Taehyung is 5 years old. His biological dad is Baekhyun. His personality can be discussed to be a mix between Baekhyun and Chanyeol. He is a bit naive, but always smiling. He loves to have fun, and may not always think about his actions. He looks up to his older cousin, Luna, whom he thinks of as an older sister. He gains friends very easily and is close with all his young cousins - including his parents' friends' son, Jimin.

 

Park Luna: (real life: Luna of f(x))

Luna is 7 years old. When she was 4 her parents got killed in a car accident. Since then she has lived with her uncle and aunt, as they became guardians immediately. She calls them uncle and auntie, but sometimes even thinks of them as her mom and dad, making her feel bad and ashamed. She doesn't remember much of her real parents, but when they were killed she was very sad for a long time, didn't want to speak to anyone and only locked herself in her room. She loves her guardians and is happy to have everyone else too. She cares about Taehyung a lot, though he can be very annoying, and she likes to pretend he is her little brother.
Luna's birth name is Sunyoung, but when her parents passed away she decided to change her name to Luna. 

 

Kim Do family:

Kim Jongdae (43) and Do Kyungsoo (42) married in 2023, as they started dating in 2015. It was a medium sized wedding with no media. They didn't announce their engagement, and only confirmed their relationship after they got married. They have two kids by surrogate, both born in 2026, with only two months apart. Jongdae was a solo artist after EXO stopped, but now he works as an MC in a variety show. Kyungsoo is an actor and also a co-host with his good friend Ryeowook in a radio show. Their two kids call them appa (Jongdae) and papa (Kyungsoo); as Kyungsoo refused to be called eomma, even though both Jongdae and Baekhyun encouraged it.

 

Kim Do Jonghyun: (real life: JR of NU'EST)

Jonghyun is 6 years old. His biological dad is Jongdae. Jonghyun and his sister are very close, and with only two months apart they see themselves as twins - at times. Though they are not blood related at all, they act like siblings; fighting over little things and working together against their parents, driving Jongdae and Kyungsoo crazy. Jonghyun is sweet and caring, he is a bit quiet, but is in reality really weird and dorky. His best friend is Minki, and he lets him decide what to do most times, as Minki likes to be in charge. It always makes Jonghyun happy, to see Minki smile. Jonghyun's appa has a soft spot for dressing him in weird suits, like a dog-looking onesie.

 

Kim Do Namjoo: (real life: Namjoo of Apink)

Namjoo is also 6 years old, the same as her "twin". Her biological father is Kyungsoo. Jongdae and Kyungsoo used two different surrogate moms at the same time, and Namjoo is born two months too early and therefore two months earlier than Jonghyun. They see each other as twins, but when they fight she often pulls out the “I’m older”-card. Namjoo is always very happy, but can also be kind of demanding, taking charge. She hates losing - even small silly fights and especially to her brother.

 

Kim Lee family:

Kim Jongin (41) and Lee Taemin (42) married in 2020. They announced their engagement to the public, but no media was allowed at their wedding. It was a big wedding, due to their many friends and family. Jongin and Taemin have been best friends ever since trainee days, but their dating relationship has been a bit more bumpy than hoped. Jongin and Taemin have two sons, the first adopted and born in 2024. Jongin works at a dance academy, where he teaches dance together with Sehun, while Taemin is a half retired solo artist and stay-at-home parent the rest of the time. Their kids call them appa (Jongin) and eomma (Taemin).

 

Kim Lee Byunghun: (real life: Lee Byunghun, former member of Teen Top)

Byunghun is 7 years old. He is a bit shy and quiet at first, but slowly opens up. He tries to look cool and puts up a tough image, but is in reality sort of sensitive, shy and unsure - kind of taking after his appa. He doesn’t really like trying new things and is not very resolute. His best friends are Chanhee, Aron and Amber and besides likes to tease Luna a lot. He cares much about his younger brother and can play together with him, but doesn't like to show it in front of his same age cousins.

 

Kim Lee Changjo: (real life: Changjo of Teen Top)

Changjo is 5 years old. He is quiet, shy, hesitant and empathetic. His friends are Taehyung - probably because they complement each other very well - and Junhong. He is kind of mature of his age, as he takes care of his cousins of same age and younger. He is very close with his eomma, Taemin, and doesn't like being apart from him. He likes to play with his brother whom he looks up to, but respects when the older boy needs time alone.

 

Oh family:

Oh Sehun (41) and Huang Zitao (42) married in 2025 with a big and media covered wedding. They started dating in 2015. They have two adopted kids, which they adopted at the same time in 2027. Zitao wanted two kids and Sehun decided, that they needed to have them at the same time then. The couple is the youngest of them all, the same goes for their kids, making them kind of the most childish-like couple. Sehun works together with Jongin at a dance academy, and Zitao is a teacher in wushu. Their kids call Sehun for appa, and Zitao for mama or baba, all depending on who's speaking and in which context (the same goes for their nieces and nephews, where Zitao is either called uncle or auntie, depending on who's speaking).

 

Oh Hayoung: (real life: Hayoung of Apink)

Hayoung is 4 years old. She is determined and fearless, yet a bit quiet and shy. She hangs around with Namjoo, who is her best friend. Together with her brother, she is very curious about things and asks their parents a lot of questions, which Sehun and Zitao are not sure of how to answer. She is slightly mature of her age, not as childish as some of her cousins. She takes care of her brother who is three months younger than her, tending to take the lead.

 

Oh Junhong: (real life: Zelo of B.A.P.)

Junhong is 4 years old. He is shy and quiet, and mostly hangs to his baba, Zitao, who is very protective of him. But Junhong loves to have fun and is curious, though his cousins may seem to forget him at times. Taking apart from this, he is a happy little boy who loves playing, but can feel a bit left out. Together with his sister they like to tease their parents, asking a lot of questions, knowing it will make them uncomfortable.

 

Kim Sandara: (real life: Dara from former 2ne1)

Sandara is 16 years old. She is the daughter of Kim Ryeowook, who is a single dad and a very good friend of Do Kyungsoo. Even though Sandara is not really related to any of the former EXO members, she knows them well as she has been babysat by the Kim Do family when she was younger. The younger cousins can't remember her though. She is a teenager, almost adult, and is very rebellious towards her dad and any other grown up. The parents in EXO remembers her as a very sweet, playful and happy child, but that has somewhat changed through her teenage years. She loves her younger "cousins" who all look up to her, though she doesn't like to show it.

Chapter 64: Hey - was so happy when i saw that you uploaded again. A really nice chapter. I loved that little Taekai Moment here ♡ i mean i dont know what you are planning with the next chapter - but when you still conclude this idea with the children playing pranks on their parents / uncels i would be really happy and really would like to see Taemin suffering in finding is lost cellphone and keys ('again') and the others but mostly Kai a little bit ....i don't know annoying....-- you know i have that scenario where they insult each other a little bit who lost what and when and kinda be mean to each other ( but not like 'totally - mad' more like 'i-am-sulking-bec-youre-so-mean-to-me'), and Kais Chicken and how it's now ruined with all the spice and OF COURSE the others members and they beloved stuff and all. and at the end when they all are a little bit lost with themselves the kids reveal everything - it would be a really cute chapter.

I mean for me , when i am writing this here it seems like a lot and all , and i am really , Truly sorry when you dont like this kinda comments where people suggest ideas / or like me ideas who are .... kinda detailed and stuff like this .

So yeah , just wanted to say pls dont feel pressured in smht like that and write what you want , it was just my weird ideasn imagination and wish .

But whatever you write , i will be excited and happy to see what you write ( bec i love youre writing style) and youre ideas - so see you until the next chapter. ♡♡☆☆☆


P.S - and ummmm...yes i am a er for Taekai so pls dont be mad that i only been and was detailed about their part - just can't get enough from them. ♡♡

Chapter 61: I think it's right that you continue your story. I know some people will maybe protest but to be honest - not cruel- life goes on. For us - Shawols- and the rest. It's a tuff time for us , yes but it will be better at some time. I hope really that doesn't happen for one of the others Idols. It's just really hard. Maybe you can help me with your story - you know to become a little bit more happy. We will see us in your next chapter. ~ C

Chapter 60: Ahhh- a new chapter. I had to read the previous chapter to remember what happend and to understand but that's okay xD. I can't remember if you take suggestion or wishes but when yes I have 2 - 1: it would be great if you could do more Taekai moments (+ with they children) because I think there is not much of them. And 2: if this Ship could have a argument? I know it's a family AU so it would be more friendly but I think it would be cool if you could see how the children reacts when there Parents are arguing and a little flashback of them when there where idols and had a fight too. I think it would be the best if you could do then this two things in One. Like one Taekai Chapter.
I hope you could understand what I was trying to tell and I will wait for your next chapter.
