Jackson was alone in the house. BamBam,Youngjae, and Yugyeom were all off to school, Jinyoung and Jaebum were working, and Mark had left the house to go meet up with his friends. Within five minutes of realizing he was alone in the house, Jackson did the only reasonable thing. He called his Candy.

Shinyoung came over around lunchtime, she made Jackson a hearty lunch of beef, kimchi, and rice. Jackson occasionally tried to help out but for the most part he sat down on a stool on the kitchen island and stared at Shinyoung like she had discovered the secrets to the universe.

Shinyoung was washing the dishes at the sink when she felt Jackson pull her into a back hug. Jackson leaned close into her ear and whispered. “Noona, I missed you.”

“Jackson-ah, we saw each other two days ago.” Shinyoung set a plate to dry.

“But I can't stay away from my Candy for that long. I don't like seeing you on the radio broadcasts surrounded by all those idols.” Jackson pouted. “I want you to stand by me.” Jackson said the 'stand by me' in English.

“What do you think all those idols are going to do? Flirt with me, Jackson-ah, I think you're a bit weird.”

Jackson turned Shinyoung around so that her back was pressed against the sink and she was facing him. Despite the fact, that Shinyoung was in fact 32 years old, she couldn't help but find herself blushing a bit every time Jackson did something like this. “Were you not at your own radio show when Henry said you were as pretty as an actress? What if rumours start because of it?”

“Rumours could start but they didn't. I wouldn't cheat on you Jackson.”

Jackson pulled Shinyoung into a hug. “Noona, I want you.”

“Jackson, your family is going to be here any minute.” Shinyoung sighed.

“Candy,” Jackson stretched out the 'ang' “I'm wild and y. You can't resist me.”

Jaebum and Jinyoung had decided to pick up BamBam, Youngjae, and Yugyeom from school and on their way to the house also pick up Mark from the movie theater he had met his friends at. “Aren't you glad that we have a mini-van now, BamBam?” Jinyoung asked as he drove.

“I'll admit, it does make it easier to get everyone in case we need it. There's even space left over for Jackson-hyung.” BamBam said, a bit disappointed in the fact that yes, mini-vans did turn out to be useful.

“Are you sure that it's his?” Jaebum asked. He was on the phone with Kibum, who had found out that nightmares were real and that Taemin did get a girl pregnant on his trip to Switzerland. The phone wasn't even on speaker and everyone in the car could hear a slightly distant “how could you be so irresponsible! There were camera crews filming, when did you even find the time?” and a perfectly clear. “The kid has his nose! The kid has obviously Asian facial features. She looks like a female one year old version of Taemin!”

Jaebum put the phone on speaker and held it away from his face as Kibum ranted on about how he was going to ban the name Heidi from being used in the world. Jaebum had no idea if Heidi was the name of the baby's mother, the actual baby, or if Kibum was calling on his only known national figure of Switzerland.

Kibum had enough of ranting to Jaebum and was probably going to terrorize the poor interns at his fashion line headquarters while Jinki read books about being the perfect grandparent. “You know,” he said to everyone in the car. “I'm glad none of you are like Taemin. Jackson may have his girlfriends but you never see him getting them pregnant or proposing to them and I've never walked in on him having . That has to be an accomplishment.”

Once they reached the house everyone began a search for their keys until Jinyoung found them in his back right pocket. He opened the door.

“Quick, someone cover BamBam and Yugyeom's eyes!” Jinyoung yelled as Mark immediately put his hands over BamBam's eyes and Jaebum took Yugyeom.

“Wait, I'm an adult now. I want to see.” BamBam said as he squirmed his way out of Mark's hold.

“Cover Youngjae's eyes then and let's enter the house slowly.” Jinyoung said.

Jackson and Shinyoung had been walking downstairs. It was an innocent action really, no type of hugging or kissing as they went down, not even holding hands, and it probably would have stayed an innocent action if Jackson was wearing pants or at the very least some underwear and if Shinyoung could leave the house with some makeup to cover up her hickey.

Jackson made eye contact with Jinyoung as soon as he had opened the door and he and Shinyoung ran to the living room, even though they knew they had no chance of escaping confrontation,

Jaebum was still covering Yugyeom's eyes and Mark still had Youngjae covered when they entered the house and saw Jackson and Shinyoung.

BamBam, who would have normally laughed at this situation, stared in shock along with the rest of the family.

“Jackson, go put on some pants and then come back down because we need to have a talk about this. Shinyoung-ssi, please stay.” Jaebum was using his 'dad' voice. It was a voice he rarely used, preferring to talk to his kids as a friend more than a father and even when he was acting more like a father and less like a friend he never used this voice. Jackson ran up the stairs and not even five minutes later came back down wearing pants.

Shinyoung was sitting on the couch, straight and as tall as she could get. Jackson sat right beside her and held her hand.

Jaebum and Mark removed their hands from Yugyeom and Youngjae's faces. Yugyeom's jaw dropped right down in shock. “What? Hyung, you're dating Kim Shinyoung?” Yugyeom's voice was exceptionally loud.

“When you said celebrity girlfriend I thought you meant an actress.” Jaebum said. He and Jinyoung sat down on the couch next to Shinyoung and Jackson.

“Noona has acted before.” Jackson said.

“Shinyoung, please don't think that we don't like you, it's just coming as a shock. We didn't even know that Jackson knew you personally.” Jinyoung said.

“The media has no idea that you're dating Jackson, do they?” Jaebum asked.

“No, they don't even suspect that I'm dating anyone.”

“Are you going to tell the media? They just got done finding out about our marriage. How would they react if they find out about you and Jackson?” Jinyoung asked. He couldn't help but notice how Jackson hadn't let go of Shinyoung's hand. How Jackson looked at any moment, ready to jump up and defend her.

“They'll react perfectly. Everyone will be jealous that a guy like me could get a girl like Candy. I'm tired of seeing you not be treated like a woman.” Jackson had jumped out from his seat and stood up. He was still holding Shinyoung's hand and looking at her as he spoke. “It hurts to see you say things like since you live alone, you pretend when you order food that you have a guy over. Or that you're still single. You're not single, Noona. If you feel like ordering Chinese food call me and I'll come over and answer the door for you. Shirtless even. I want you to talk about the things your boyfriend does for you and how we met and then when Hazel and Joseph-”

“Who are Hazel and Joseph?” Shinyoung asked. Everyone seemed equally as curious as well.

“Hazel and Joseph are our future children. Did you want to give them Korean names? I think Hazel and Joseph sound great. Sure, Koreans might have difficulty pronouncing them but they're good names.” Jackson defended 'Hazel' and 'Joseph' with everything in him.

“Jackson, stop. We're not the Lees and we can't become like them. You're pulling a Taemin and I can't enroll in family German lessons or travel to Switzerland right now.” Jaebum said.

“Noona, are you pregnant? I am going to become uncle? Is this baby going to be born out of wedlock because I can't have Hazel or Joseph living in sin.” BamBam said.

“I'm not pregnant!” Shinyoung said. Yugyeom let out a sigh he didn't know he was holding and wiped his brow. “Jackson and I have discussed having kids together but we never mentioned Hazel or Joseph.”

“Now that I have new siblings, the family needs to make a list of names we want to give our future children so we don't overlap.” Jackson explained. “What names do you want for your kids?” he asked Mark and BamBam in English.

“Well, I've always wanted a son.” BamBam said in English. “I think BamBam the second sounds great. BamBam II. And then he has a son and we have BamBam III.”

Mark was flustered. “I never really thought about having kids. I don't plan that far ahead. I don't know, Randy? April? I never thought about this.”

He spoke in Korean to Yugyeom and Youngjae. “I'm not planning on giving my children Korean names so please discuss between you two what kind of names you want. Yugyeom, keep in consideration the approved names of the royal family.”

“Jackson, please sit down.” Jinyoung said. “Shinyoung-ssi I hope you realize if you do decide to reveal this to the media, this family will accept it. I'm sure the media wouldn't be too rough. You're a beloved comedian and Jackson is a good kid.”

“See?” Jackson said to Jaebum. “Mom thinks I'm a good kid and he's only been here for a week and three days. Can you give me and Noona your blessing for this relationship?”

“Shinyoung-ssi, what do you think of Jackson? Be honest, he's my son and I can recognize his faults.” Jaebum asked Shinyoung.

Shinyoung paused before giving her answer. “I think Jackson is a great man. You raised him well. He's funny, he could do amazing on a variety show, he's handsome, and he's kind. He texts me whenever he knows I'm free but if I'm busy and don't text when I usually do, he doesn't get angry or crass like other men would do. He lets me be my own person while taking care of me. Even though, his body isn't that good, he always likes to wear sleeveless shirts and he always wants to be number one. For everything. Even crossing the street.”

Jaebum looked over at Jackson. There he was hanging off every word Shinyoung said. Jaebum had seen that same look before. It was the look Jaebum used to give Jinyoung in high school, back before he knew the full extent of his feelings for Jinyoung and only thought of him as the greatest friend that ever walked the Earth and happened to be ridiculously handsome. Jackson, at last, had found a good noona to be with. “You both have my blessings. I only want you to be happy. Feel free to release this to the media, it'll do good.”

“If Jackson's a grown man why does he still make Shinyoung get his father's blessing?” Youngjae whispered to Mark.

“I don't know. I don't even know how this family works.” Mark whispered back. “Now if I ever have kids, I'm going to have to name them April and Randy.”

“Thank you so much Dad!”Jackson said in English. He pulled Jaebum into a long hug before moving on to Jinyoung, then BamBam, Yugyeom, Mark, and Youngjae.

“Let's go Noona. We have to go to your apartment!” Jackson said already rushing out the door.

Shinyoung bowed to Jaebum and Jinyoung. “Thank you for your blessings.” she ran out the door following Jackson. “Wait for me! I can run that fast!”

The remainder of the family stood in silence for a while after they had left. “They form a good couple.” Yugyeom finally said.

Jaebum's cell-phone beeped. “Oh look, Kibum-hyung sent a picture of his granddaughter. He and Jinki-hyung are flying out to Switzerland next week. Jinki-hyung's agreed to film a last-minute travel program about Switzerland in order to introduce the kid to the Korean public. The baby does look like exactly like Taemin though.” the family crowded around to see the picture.

“Wow, you almost can't tell the baby's part Swiss.” BamBam said.

“It is a cute baby.” Youngjae said.

Jaebum held his cell-phone closely to his face before handing it to Jinyoung. “Hazel and Joseph are going to be cuter.”
