Dinners at Yunho's parents' house have always been peaceful. Until someone comes along and ruins it.


 

"I'm not sure if she'll appreciate that."

"Nonsense! Everyone likes happy meals."

"If they're under the age of eight. My mom is fifty-two."

"Flowers are so overrated, love."

"Jaejoong, I'm not sure if she'll like My Little Pony plushies."

Jaejoong stops on his tracks, looking at him with a huff. "You're a plushie yourself, Yunho, and she likes you!"

"I'm her son."

"The point is, she likes you. Then that means she likes plushies."

But I'm not a plushie, Yunho wants to say but decides against it. What's the point? He could never win against Jaejoong.

They both walk hand in hand to Yunho's parents' house. It is a good half an hour walk away from theirs and Yunho's suggestion of taking a cab was ignored. He huffs, hugging the bag of plushies with one arm while holding Jaejoong's hand with his free hand.

"Walking is healthy and good for the heart."

"But Jae--"

"Healthy."

"It's--"

"Healthy."

"...Fine."





Jihye greets them first, kissing them both on the cheek and then clings onto Jaejoong as she calls for their parents. Jaejoong wouldn't let go of his hand, though, so while Jihye drags his boyfriend to the living room, he lets himself be dragged along, tossing the plushies on the couch which earns him a glare from Jaejoong. He chuckles nervously, pecking the other's lips as an apology.

"Eww, you two. Can you not right now, please?" Jihye says, feigning a look of disgust.

"Young lady, be nice." comes Mrs. Jung's reply as she walks down the stairs, gracing the younger people with her presence. Jihye pouts, Jaejoong reaches out to ruffle ruffle her hair. "It's nice to see you both. I've missed you." She hugs Jaejoong, giving him a pat on the back before moving to hug her son. She examines Yunho from head to toe and frowns a little. "Did you get bigger, son?"

"Yes, mom." Jaejoong answers, trying so hard not to laugh at Yunho's horrified expression. "He was binge eating a few days ago! But that's okay, he's lost what he has gained."

"That fast?"

"Well, yeah, he's as fast as a jackhammer--"

Yunho covers his mouth with a hand before he could embarrass them both. He turns Jaejoong around and envelopes him in a tight hug, pushing his head down his neck. "Sorry, he bumped into a pole on our way here and he just-- where's dad?"

He ignores Jihye's smirk and repeats his question. "Your dad bought cake, he'll be here in a while." Mrs. Jung looks at Jaejoong worriedly. "You can let go of him now, he's turning a little blue."

"I'm okay!" Jaejoong beams from Yunho's neck and thinks it's very appropriate to climb on Yunho like a tree. So he does, not at all bothered at the fact that his future in-laws are watching him. "I'm suddenly feeling a little clingy." he says, voice muffled by Yunho's shirt. "You don't mind, don't you?"

Yunho opens his mouth to reply but Jihye beats him to it with a squeal. "Mama I want a boyfriend like Jaejoong oppa!"

The oldest Jung could only shake her head in amusement at her children. She places a soft kiss on Jaejoong's head before heading to the kitchen to tend to her casserole.





"Are you going to continue being a big baby?" Yunho asks softly. He and Jaejoong are both on the couch, cuddling. Jaejoong, of course, already claimed the spot on his lap before he could even ask. His sister tried to sit with them but Mrs. Jung came to the rescue and sent her to the kitche
