A Cliché Family Thirtyfive
Minho has been thinking a lot during summer. He's been really bored so there's been a lot of time to think. All his friends ever talk about is girls, there's no soccer practice and his best friend Sooyoung has been on a month long vacation so he hasn't even had her company. Therefore it's a welcome break when Kibum tells him they're going on a 5-day camping trip to the ocean. Minho doesn't think he's ever been at the ocean before so he just nods and starts packing.
The next couple of days is a mess. Kibum is busy packing for all 5 of them because the man is positive one of them will forget something crucial. He's packing for Taemin solely although the 8-year old boy could easily do it himself. Jonghyun and Minho aren't allowed to put anything into their bags before Kibum has inspected it and Jinki is not allowed to pack anything at all. Kibum's argument is 'you're so extremely clumsy you'll ruin something in the process' and Jinki thinks it's reasonable enough, so he doesn't touch anything and just leaves his usband to the packing.
When they're finally ready to go and the car is loaded, they all climb into the car. Taemin sits in the middle because he's the youngest but one hour later, when he's resting his head against Jonghyun's shoulder and his hip is digging into Minho's thigh while he's sleeping, they're both regretting the seating arrangement.
"Hey, I was thinking..." says Minho but Jinki interrupts him.
"I thought I smelled something burning!" He has a huge grin on his lips and both Minho and Jonghyun groans.
"Dad, no," Jonghyun says and Minho tries again.
"Can't we stop at the next resting area so we can rearrange the seating?" Jinki has a new smart reply on his way when Kibum agrees. He sulks a little the next couple of minutes because man, his husband just ruined his flow.
They stop at the next rest area and Taemin is groggy when they wake him up. He falls asleep a minute or two later, head now resting against the window. Minho and Jonghyun plays a game of rock, paper, scissor to determine who gets to sit in the middle. In the end Jonghyun loses.
"It's because you're so small!" When Jonghyun charges after him with a 'not everybody can be a giant', Minho is running away with a laugh. Kibum buys a bit of food and candy for the long trip to the sea and soon they're on their way again. Minho is playing with his tablet and Jonghyun is listening to music. It's all very peaceful in the car until Taemin wakes up.
"Hey Taemin-ah, want me to tell a joke?" Jinki says and Minho groans and quickly finds his headset so he doesn't have to listen to more of Jinki's bad jokes. The youngest just nods. "Why do bees hum?" He's observing Taemin in the rearview mirror and the boy looks genuinely interested in the answer when he shrugs and asks 'why?' "Because they don't know the words!" Jinki finishes his joke and sends another glance towards Taemin. Kibum is hiding his face in his palms. Taemin doesn't get the joke thou
