A Cliché Family eleven
Kibum is a lucky man. He is 28 years old and he has a wonderful family. And right now, on this cold day in December, he is in the kitchen once again. Contrary to the past 3 years with his family, he is not spending his time in the kitchen baking Christmas cookies with Jonghyun or cooking a delicious Christmas dinner.
Jonghyun is now 4 years old and has been in kindergarten for a little over 6 months. He's spending most of his days with friends and playing around other kids in the kindergarten while he learns of pre-school subjects. Minho just turned 2 a couple of days earlier and even he seems to need less pampering than he used to. He also seems to need less pampering than Jonghyun needed when he was 2. But it doesn't matter to Kibum because he likes watching his family grow and he loves seeing them happy.
No, the reason he is in the kitchen on this god-awful cold day in the morning is because his boyfriend of 4 years is turning 30 and Kibum wants to surprise him with a delicious breakfast.
It's a Saturday and both he and Jinki are off from work. So Kibum has planned today to be extra special. He knows that it's not really that big of a deal but this feels special anyway. He turns the pancakes and checks on the eggs in the oven when Minho suddenly clings to his leg. The boy says nothing but just looks around. He settles on his father before he reaches out as if to ask Kibum to lift him. The man complies easily, lifting the 2-year-old and bringing him around in the kitchen while he fixes the last of the luxurious breakfast he has been making. He swears the toddler is taller than Jonghyun was at 2. It wouldn't surprise Kibum if Minho ended up being taller than his older brother.
Just as Kibum tips the last pancake from the pan to the plate, the door to the kitchen opens again and he hears a yawn that can only indicate Jonghyun. He turns around and smiles at the boy.
"Dad," he says and Kibum reaches out the hand that doesn't hold Minho, to invite Jonghyun into a morning hug. The boy doesn't hesitate to snuggle up close to his father and Kibum stands in the middle of the kitchen with his two favorite boys in the world. "What are you doing?" Jonghyun asks when he lets go of Kibum, but sleep is still etched in his voice. Kibum turns around and starts putting the food on a tray. For once, he's going to let Jinki eat in bed because breakfast in bed sort of fits today.
"I made breakfast for your father," he answers and Jonghyun nods sleepily. It's getting a little troublesome now that Jonghyun has started referring to both of them as 'dad' and Kibum sometimes silently wishes that he could once again be 'daddy Bum'. He knows it's not going to happen but a man can dream, right?
He lets Jonghyun carry the glasses and the juice and has to put down Minho in order to carry the tray into the master bedroom. Minho fists his small hands into the back of Kib
