#jjong is ew

[waitingforminjae]

my fav thing abt shinee is that they're loud as fuck but quiet ppl by nature so when they're around other loud ppl they're like 😤😝😒

[what-if-nct]

when i was like 14 or something i used to cry over the fact that i will have to date someone who is from the 00s and i was like “eW i dOnT LiKe pEoPLe mY aGe” because i wanted to date someone who was from 1999.

one time i dated a 19 year old and he thought i was older because of my body. so when i asked him for his year of birth he was like “i was born in 2000-”

“EWWWW I DON’T DATE TWENTY-ONE CENTURY BOYS!!” then i ran off in disgust 😭😭😭

my cousins tried to convince that boys my age are very handsome for YEARSSSS but i kept going 🥱🤢 like nah bruh i don’t want to date someone like jacob sartorius i want my jjong 😭😭😭😭

why is this my curse… 😭

Well you don't have to only date 21st century boys. I heard Lil Huddy's 21st Century Vampire play in my mind as I wrote that. He's probably the exact 21st century boy you want no part of. Now I'm listening to it. Don't judge me I like lil Huddy's music. I know I have bad taste in music. Anyway If I'm remembering correctly you're 18? So I think dating someone born in around 1997\98 should be fine. Then as you get older you can go older. The only reason I recommend that is safety. Like there's really cool guys from the early 90s but just be careful. The reason I tend to date younger is it feels "safer" I'm older no one has power over me nothing bad will happen. Not the case at all. But in my mind it's safer. Even though a guy born in 2000 tried to get me to take shrooms in his apartment alone. Like I may be reckless but I'm not dumb. If we've been dating for a few months then okay I'd do it. But just meeting? Absolutely not. He did give up after awhile. Luckily. So really there's no safest mindset. So you don't have to limit yourself to a certain generation. Over 35 is out of the question though. No one older than Jonghyun. Just be careful and stay safe.

I’m So Curious [Chapter 1]

Part 1 of my story written for Jjong’s Month and for my lovely Dee @jjongyyu

Here are the ones I wrote last year : Just For A Day & Love Is So Nice

Prompt :  Jjong is a college student with tight money, but manages to get into a prestigious uni where he becomes friends with Taemin. One day, Tae asks him to go out on a blind date with his cousin Jinki, a notable lawyer who still hesitates about dating someone. Jjong refuses, but the amount of money Tae offers is a sight he can’t ignore. Jinki adores him immediately and after several dates, Jonghyun falls in love with Jinki, but he doesn’t know how to tell Jinki about his agreement with Tae.

Pairing : Jongyu 

Genre : romance, some fluff, probably angst, smut eventually XD

TW : I don’t know if it’s really triggering to anyone, but Jjong curses a lot in this one and is kinda crude so yeah at least you have been warned. XD

Word Count : 6500 ~ 

Links : AFF & AO3

Special thanks to Cheryl for being my beta and making it possible for me to release part I before the month ended.

"What's your type?'' The blonde cocked an eyebrow. ''What has that got to do with anything?'' The brunette shrugged. ''Just wondering...'' He said, giving his straw another mindless chew before going on. ''I've just never seen you show interest in anyone.'' The other frowned, confused.

''Again, why did that pop up in your mind just now?'' ''Jeez, can't I just ask a question?'' the younger one retorted, frustration now edging his tone. '' I know you, Tae,'' the blonde immediately clapped back. ''You never just ask a question.'' His statement had the other snorting in indignation.

''Is that really what you think of me, Jjong?'' ''Yes,'' the blonde squarely replied before taking another sip of his iced coffee. He watched as his friend settled into grumpy mode with a scoff and a determined cross of the arms. He couldn't help but puff out laughing at the childish display. ''I know you'll eventually spill it…'' Jonghyun taunted, lopsided smile dancing on his lips. ''I hate you,'' Taemin spat with spite that only manifested when he didn't get his way. ''Good luck with that,'' Jonghyun replied with a chuckle. A sense of victory swelled in his chest as he watched his friend struggle to come up with a comeback. The silence gave him some time to look around the nearly empty café they regularly visited to get some school work done or chat. He could never stop himself from taking in the peaceful setting, even though he’d probably seen it a million times now. With its white-framed casement windows that let the natural light in, its bare white walls opening up the space, the various-sized potted plants adding life and color around them, and the rustic furniture that contrasted so perfectly against all the light, it just felt to him like his little corner of paradise. It was even more beautiful now that the setting sun bathed the space with dancing lights of pink and orange. If the moment wasn't already perfect, the warm and full aroma of fresh coffee filling up the space left not even a modicum of place for discontent. Jonghyun felt good, and not even the sight of his friend's disgruntled expression was going to change that. ''Can I order us another round of coffee or are you just going to storm out like a little bitch and leave me hanging?'' he half-asked, half-baited. Taemin's gaze narrowed at the jab. Jaw tense, he replied, ''Call me a little bitch one more time and that coffee will end up in your face.'' '' I'll take that as a yes for the coffee then, '' Jonghyun concluded, not at all fazed by the other's threat.

He knew of his friend's evil ways, but for some reason, the latter seemed to know there was no point trying anything with him.

As soon as they received their refill of iced coffee, the younger one seemed to relax and, soon enough, he was back on topic. ''Jjongie...'' he cooed, shifting into his characteristic charmer mode. ''No.'' Jonghyun didn't need to hear the rest. He already knew he wasn't going to like it. ''You don't even know what I was going to say," Taemin whined with pouting lips. ''Right, but I already know my answer.'' ''What if I was just going to ask for a ride home?'' the fluffy-haired brunette argued. ''But you weren’t, so cut the crap,'' Jonghyun bluntly dismissed. He caught the glare that his friend shot him before he took in more caffeine.

The younger one's frustration soon turned into a desperate sigh, signalling he was about to crack open. ''Look, I need a favor,'' he finally revealed. ''Ask Kibum,'' Jonghyun indicated. The younger one scrunched up his nose in disgust.

''Ew, no. Just imagining them...'' The retching gesture that followed wasn't enough to distract the blonde from what he had just caught in the other's unintentional admission. ''Them?'' he echoed, confused. ''Who is the other person?'' Taemin froze at that, the only movement perceptible being that of his furious blinking.

''Tae??'' Jonghyun called out as confusion and nervousness simultaneously grew inside him. ''Yeah, um...'' the brunette cleared his throat. ''The other person's my cousin,'' he finally said. Jonghyun frowned deeply.

''What's your cousin got to do with anything? '' ''He has to do with the favor I need from you,'' Taemin outlined before deflecting his attention to his chewed-up straw. ''The fuck?'' the older one exclaimed as he stared incredulously at his friend. It was a few more seconds before the other stopped his balancing act of chewing on plastic and drinking. ''You know my cousin, Jinki, that I sometimes talk about?'' Taemin started. ''You mean, that you always talk about, '' Jonghyun rectified, not without an edge of annoyance to his tone. ''That is not true,'' the other instantly countered. ''Riiight,'' Jonghyun derided. “I must be imagining all these times you've been going on about something he said or did.''

''No, you're not. But it's definitely not all the time.'' If there was something that Jonghyun had come to learn about the beautiful young man he spent a lot of his waking hours with, it was that he was incredibly stubborn. Jonghyun had seen that attribute work in amazing ways, especially when it came to his dancing skills. But he had also seen it work in the most annoying and infuriating ways, and this moment was definitely more proof of that. ''Whatever,'' Jonghyun brought himself to say to avoid any blood being shed on the beautiful table between them. ''Anyway,'' Taemin went on. ''Jinki's been feeling lonely and I thought I should help him out a bit, you know, since he's helped me so much throughout the years.'' ''Are you going to suck his dick or something?'' Jonghyun couldn't help but voice. ''Eeeeew,'' the younger one all but yelled. ''He's my cousin!!'' ''The way you get all excited whenever you talk about him makes me wonder sometimes... '' ''You're fucking gross, Kim Jonghyun.'' That made the blonde's eyebrow cock. ''Interesting...'' he mused. ''What?'' ''Seems like I hit a sensitive cord,'' Jonghyun noted matter-of-factly. ''Stop that,'' the brunette said in his most authoritative tone, which didn't feel that convincing to the other. ''Don't worry about it, Tae. Apparently, that happens between cousins more than we think.'' The death stare he received made it hard for him to keep a straight face, the tickling edge of laughter bringing a twitch to his lips. ''I swear... '' Taemin grumbled as a visible clench graced his jaw. He forced himself to roll his tongue in his mouth a few times like his mom had taught him as a kid before resuming. ''I need you to go on a date with him.'' ''No. '' Jonghyun didn't even need to hear more. He wasn't going to entertain any of it.

His response had the other sighing deeply. ''I knew it would play out this way,'' Taemin indicated as he looked straight into the older one's eyes. ''That's why I'm ready to pay.’' ''Excuse me??'' Jonghyun loudly exclaimed. The other's silence and serious expression only got him more riled up. ''Do I look like a fucking prostitute to you?'' ''I'm not asking that you have sex with him. I just want him to get back into the dating scene,'' Taemin calmly explained. ''That's cool and all, but why me?'' Jonghyun had no choice but to ask, bewilderment splashed all across his face. ''I feel like you two could get along,'' Taemin answered. ''Plus, he's always had a thing for petite guys.'' ''I'm not petite,'' Jonghyun growled, gaze turning dark. ''Fine, you're a fucking mountain,'' Taemin conceded with a slight eyeroll to spare himself a pointless argument. ''Look,'' he quickly followed with. ''You just have to go on one date and in return, you won't have to be so stressed out about money all the time.'' The tension that had settled on the blonde's face morphed into another look of disbelief. ''Are you actually hearing yourself right now?'' ''Yes, I hear myself just fine,'' Taemin replied without shame. ''Sex or no sex, what you are asking of me is still prostitution,'' Jonghyun pointed out bluntly. ''No,'' Taemin squarely countered. ''I asked for a favor and you said no, so I'm adding money into the mix so that it's still a win for you in the end.'' ''I can't accept your money.'' ''Yes, you can, and you will.'' The blonde gave him a wide-eyed stare.

''The fuck?'' The brunette sighed.

''I know you've worked really hard to get to where you're at, but you deserve to have some space to breathe. That's what I'm really offering you,'' he added for emphasis. Jonghyun was at a loss for words. He knew Taemin meant well, but that whole deal didn't feel right. On the flip side, getting some extra money would definitely alleviate the burden he carried with him all the time. Getting into his dream school had been a big part of the battle, but actually being able to pay all the fees that came with studying there was a strenuous challenge in itself. He could only do so many hours of work without it affecting his grades and he had already reached that limit. ''Like I said, I only ask for one date,'' Taemin reiterated. ''And you can consider this whole semester dealt with.'' If Jonghyun's eyes could've grown any bigger, they would have at that moment. ''You're tripping...'' That made the younger one laugh. ''I've actually had time to think this through,'' Taemin informed him. ''So I understand if you need some time to think about it, too.'' ''I...'' Jonghyun's eyes darted towards his half-filled cup as his mind mulled over the offer. He knew he should stick to his no, but Taemin had effectively spoken to the part of him that ached for some relief. ''I'll think about it,'' he finally said as he brought his gaze up once more. Taemin grinned. ''Thanks, Jjong.'' In that moment, a lump of nervousness formed in the blonde's throat. He realized he had just sealed the deal.

                                                         ***

I can’t believe I’m doing this, he thought as he stared at the restaurant’s elegant façade.

It was probably now close to ten minutes since he had parked on the other side of the street, building up the courage to follow through with the offer his evil best friend had made him.

He still couldn’t believe he had agreed to it, but here he was, all dressed up, black dress shirt and black pants sticking to him like a second skin and the shaggy bangs that usually covered his forehead now slicked back with some gel to make himself look a bit more presentable. He had even traded his worn-out pair of converse shoes for polished leather loafers. The only thing that had been a non-negotiable for him was the tie. He felt like a fraud, but having agreed to do this, he wasn’t just going to half-ass the task at hand. Despite everything, he still didn’t want to make a bad impression on his best friend’s cousin.

He hated to admit it, but he was nervous. He didn’t know what to expect or what to do, or even what to say. This could be a whole disaster, and if it was, he knew Taemin would never let him hear the end of it. He didn’t do dates and he didn’t do formal wear. But again, here he was, getting ready to play the part.

I’m fucking pathetic.

He dropped his bare forehead onto the steering wheel, rapidly losing all resolve he had mustered up on his way there. He could’ve pretty much stayed in that position for the rest of night, but the sudden buzzing of his phone in his pocket jolted him back upright.

He looked at his screen and his heart jumped. He couldn’t hide anymore.  

''Hello?'' he answered as his body temperature jumped up a few degrees.

''Am I speaking to Jonghyun?'' the voice at the other end uttered.

The blonde froze for a moment, taking aback by the soft but deep tone that had just graced his ear.

''Hello?''  

''Y-yes, it’s me,'' Jonghyun stammered despite himself.

Fuck. They hadn’t even met yet and he was already screwing this up.

''Hi, it’s Jinki. Taemin’s cousin,'' the other man went on.

''Ah, yes. Nice to- I mean, um-''

He cut himself off, realizing whatever would come out of his mouth now would just further embarrass him.  

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

His obvious clumsiness was apparently amusing to the other one because he suddenly laughed.

And that laugh did nothing to help Jonghyun recover brain cells.

''I’m already in the restaurant. Are you here yet?'' Jinki asked.

''Um, yeah… Well, I’m just outside. I’ll be right there,'' Jonghyun answered.

''Okay, well I’m in a dark grey suit and I’m wearing glasses,'' the other informed.

''Cool,'' Jonghyun uttered as he tried to form an image of what the other looked like.

''So…''

The sound of the other’s voice brought him back to reality. He instantly gave himself a mental kick for getting lost in his thoughts.

''Yes, um, okay, I’ll be hanging up now,'' he indicated before doing exactly that.

Okay, Jjong. You’re already making a damn fool of yourself. Get it together.

He took a few deep breaths before finally turning off the car’s engine and stepping out into the mild weather.

For a moment, he thought about bailing out and getting back into the car, but he knew how much of an asshole that would make him feel like. And he definitely was no asshole. Plus, he couldn’t help but think about the money involved.

Well, maybe that made him an asshole.

He managed to push back all of these thoughts in favor of finally getting himself past the entrance door. Hand on the handle, he pushed it open and stepped inside, relinquishing his fate to the wicked hands of the universe. He barely had time to look around when his eyes fell on a sight he was sure he’d never forget.

Jonghyun froze midstep as his gaze took in a gorgeous man whose clothes fit the description he had received a few minutes earlier.

''Jinki?'' he managed to utter despite feeling like his whole nervous system was about to collapse on him.

The man’s face lit up at the sound of his name and as soon as their eyes met, he flashed him a stunning smile.

''Jonghyun!'' he reciprocated enthusiastically as he took a few steps towards him.

It took Jonghyun everything not to step back and run out through the door. This was definitely worse than he had expected. The man was… A few words popped up in his mind, all of them just making it harder for him not to lose his composure.

''Happy to meet you,'' the brunette said before bowing before him.

Jonghyun returned the gesture, bending further down, since he was the younger one.

''Happy to meet you, too,'' he echoed once he rose back up.

He tried a smile, but it felt too forced, too staged. If there was something Jonghyun wasn’t good at, it was definitely acting.

''Have you ever been here before?'' Jinki promptly asked.

''Um, no…'' Jonghyun answered, slightly embarrassed.

He had done his research earlier that week when Taemin had sent him the address only to learn that this restaurant was one of the finest in the area. He could barely afford the essentials so there was no way he had any extra to be visiting these places. Nor did he ever really have any interest to.

''Ah, it’s okay,'' Jinki reassured with a softer but equally dashing smile. '' I’m glad this is your first time. ''

Jonghyun froze again, eyes wide, as his mind ran straight to the gutter with the other’s words.

The latter seemed to notice as he suddenly chuckled nervously, ''That probably didn’t come out right. I’m sorry.''

Jonghyun’s eyebrow cocked as he stared at the other. Is he for real?

The subtle blush he caught on the taller one’s face told him that it was indeed an honest mistake.

''I’m- I’m sorry…''

Jonghyun instantly felt bad. He was the one catching double entendres where there was none.

''Don’t be, please,'' he implored. ''I’m sorry, it’s me… I’m being a little weird …''

The brunette seemed to relax at that. Retrieving his smile, he said, ''This is a little never-wracking, huh?''

''Yeah,'' Jonghyun admitted as he rubbed the back of his neck with one hand.

''Well, it’s nothing a little alcohol can’t fix, right?’' Jinki playfully remarked.

That made the blonde laugh.

''Definitely.''

Any words he would’ve said next died in his throat as the brunette’s eyes zeroed in on him in a focused and extremely unnerving way.

''Um… should we go to our table now?'' he found the courage to say as he deliberately avoided the other’s intent gaze.

That fortunately was enough to snap the other out of whatever trance he had been in.

''Yes, of course,'' he replied, quickly clearing his throat.

They first stopped at the front desk, Jonghyun just tagging along as Jinki gave the elegantly clad lady before them his name for the reservation. She then led them into the restaurant, walking them past the tables until they reached the back where a beautifully set table awaited them.

Along the way, Jonghyun had stolen glances around, taking in the contrasting elegance of the furniture with the robustness of the ceiling-to-floor pillars that gave the space more character and charm. He was even more pleased by the warm lighting that completed the portrait like icing on a cake, giving the room an intimate vibe.

Once the lady had finished setting the menus on the table and another came in to fill up their glasses with water, they sat, finding themselves alone.

''So, what’s your poison?'' Jinki immediately asked.

The blonde’s brow cocked.

''Shouldn’t we be ordering some expensive wine or something?''

''We could, if that’s what you want, but I’d rather you tell me what you like,'' Jinki indicated.

For some reason, that was enough to make Jonghyun’s heart jump inside his chest again.

''Um, well… I don’t drink often, but I really like rum,'' he shared as he tried not to linger on his body’s unsolicited reaction.

''Great,'' Jinki exclaimed as his face lit up even more. ''That’s my favorite.''

Immediately after, he gestured to one of the waiters in sight and ordered two glasses of a brand of rum Jonghyun was sure he had never tasted before. The order was served to them a few seconds later, the golden-brown liquid swaying beautifully inside the clear glasses.

Jinki was the first to pick up his glass.

''To a beautiful evening,'' he softly said as he lifted it.

''To a beautiful evening,'' Jonghyun reciprocated with a small smile before they both brought their glasses to their lips.

The taste that graced the blonde’s tongue was a perfect mix of strong, velvety, and sweet, making it impossible for him not to moan from contentment.

''That is the best rum I’ve ever had,'' he enthused, before realizing the other’s gaze had changed again.

He didn’t know what it was, but he could definitely feel himself tense up because of it. Fortunately, he didn’t have to speak this time for the other one to get back into conversation.

''I would have to agree with that,'' Jinki finally said with a smile.

''I’m guessing everything here is great, huh?'' the blonde gathered.

''Yeah, I’d say so,'' Jinki confirmed. ''Although…'' he went on immediately after, ''I pretty much always order the same thing, so I’m probably not the best person to ask,'' he admitted in a somewhat apologetic tone.

''What’s your order?'' Jonghyun asked with genuine interest.

''Their duck confit.''

The blonde stared blankly at him for a few seconds as his mind tried to figure out whatever that could be.  

His confusion must’ve shown clear because the other chuckled before saying, ''It’s basically duck cooked in its own fat.''

Jonghyun grimaced at that.

''That doesn’t sound very appetizing to me.’'

''I can understand,'' Jinki said with another soft laugh. ''So what kind of food do you usually enjoy?''

''Um… pretty simple stuff I guess,'' Jonghyun answered, suddenly feeling embarrassed.

The brunette acknowledged those words with a nod.

''To be honest, I just love to eat, so give me anything and I’m in.''

The blonde snorted out a laugh at that.

''Sounds like Taemin.''

He was answered with a broad smile.

''I guess we have some things in common.''

Yeah, a stunning face seems to be one of them, Jonghyun replied in the safety of his mind.

''By the way, I’ve been curious to know how you two became friends,'' the older one went on as he picked up his glass again.

''Oh, that…'' Jonghyun uttered mindlessly. ''I don’t know if it’s a funny story or if it’s just really cringy…''

''Now you have me even more intrigued,'' Jinki prodded with a grin.  

''Well, if you must know,'' Jonghyun started, realizing this was another chance for him to get back at the little brat.  ''I first met him at a school party last year. I didn’t want to go in the first place, but a friend of mine insisted, so I tagged along. When we arrived there, my friend quickly abandoned me for a girl, leaving me alone in the midst of hundreds of strangers. At that point, I was just going to leave, but someone approached me. At first, I thought he looked cute, but as soon as he started talking, I could see he was pretty far gone. He said a lot of things, things that could’ve gotten him in deep shit if he had said them to any other guy. ''

''Oh god,'' Jinki suddenly interjected as a look of worry settled on his face.

''Don’t worry, this ends well,'' Jonghyun reassured with a small laugh.

''Good, please continue.''

''So, like I said, I wanted to leave, but I couldn’t help but fear what might happen if I left him there. I ended up asking him to follow me and we got out. Then I asked where his dorm room was, but he never managed to tell me, so I brought him back to mine. I got him into bed and he immediately fell asleep before waking up a few minutes later and puking all over the floor. He didn’t even seem to notice though, because he went right back to sleep after that. And then the next morning, once he was alert enough that I could walk him through what had happened, he apologized, thanked me a million times and hung around for the rest of the morning. I still didn’t understand what his deal was, but it felt weirdly comfortable to have him there. And then, I guess it just picked up from that.''

''That’s Taemin’s charm for you,'' Jinki acknowledged with what seemed like a prideful smile.

Jonghyun snorted again, ''Yeah, I guess.''

A full laugh rolled out of the brunette.

''You’ve obviously seen all that comes with that charm, too.''

''Definitely,'' Jonghyun replied immediately.

Jinki laughed some more.

''Well, thank god you were there that night and that you’re still in his life. You seem to be a good influence on him.''

The blonde’s brow cocked.

''A good influence?''

''Yeah,'' Jinki validated. ''Tae talks about you all the time and one of the things that always comes back is his admiration for your passion and work ethic. You seem to have rubbed off on him because I can see how serious he is about things now.''

Jonghyun was trying to keep his face under control, but he knew he was failing at hiding his surprise and utter shock.

''He’s never…. I didn’t know he…''

And he was also failing to verbalize any coherent thought.

''Taemin will never outright tell you this, but what I know is that he doesn’t hang out with someone if he doesn’t really love them.''

''Yeah… I guess,'' Jonghyun admitted as he unconsciously rubbed the back of his neck again. ''What about you and Tae?'' he inquired to get the focus off of himself. ''You two seem pretty close.''

He was first answered with a beaming smile that turned his mouth dry. He quickly reached for his glass and took another sip.

''Yes, we are. It’s just always been like that despite our age gap. I’m an only child so my parents would bring me to my aunts’ and uncles’ houses a lot and I always had the most fun with Taemin. He was always so joyful and full of life, and that always made me feel happy. As we grew up, that bond deepened and now, I just see him as my little brother.''

''That’s… really nice,'' Jonghyun said, feeling touched despite himself.

''Yeah,'' Jinki agreed. '' He’s always bringing good into my life.''

Their eyes locked at that and Jonghyun’s heart did another somersault.

''Um, so… shouldn’t we order or something?'' he uttered as his eyes darted back to his glass.

''Shouldn’t you look at the menu first?'' Jinki pointed out with a teasing edge to his tone.

Shit.

''Uh, yeah. Of course.''

After looking at a bunch of items that didn’t make any sense to him, he finally settled for the swiss chard and goat cheese cannelloni. He was pretty sure a pasta dish wouldn’t disappoint his taste buds.

Once their orders were placed, the conversation lulled for a bit, leaving Jonghyun time to assess everything that had happened up until now. He couldn’t say things were going badly. On the contrary, but that just made it all the more confusing for him. Without thinking, he brought his glass to his lips again and downed the rest of the liquid, which he immediately regretted when the fire that suddenly blew up in his throat made him cough uncontrollably.

''Are you alright?'' Jinki asked as he gave him a worried look.  

Jonghyun nodded through his coughing fit. It took a few more seconds for his airways to clear out and bring him back to a peaceful state.

''I’m sorry… I…''

''Are you okay?''

The genuine concern he could read on the other’s face made him feel even more self-conscious and stupid. He couldn’t help but look away.

''Yes, I just…''

He didn’t even know what to say. And he couldn’t even use his glass as a distraction anymore.

Dammit.

''Can I tell you something?''

Jonghyun looked up again, curious as to what that thing might be.

''Yes?''

''I haven’t been on a date in years,'' Jinki shared.

Jonghyun blinked at him in surprise.

''Seriously?''

''Yes,'' the brunette reiterated with a sheepish smile. ''I’ve never really made time for anything that didn’t have to do with work.''

''So, what’s changed now?'' Jonghyun couldn’t help but ask.

''Hmm…'' Jinki pondered. ''Well… I guess I’ve finally realized how much I was missing out on.''

''Oh, well, from what I’ve heard you’ve made a pretty good life for yourself already,'' the blonde pointed out.

''I guess in terms of social status, yes, but in my everyday life, things were starting to get…'' he paused, looking nowhere in particular. ''Repetitive.''

''Oh, and here I thought lawyers had the most exciting lives,'' Jonghyun mocked without thinking.

His eyes instantly grew wide as he realized what he had just said.

''I didn’t mean to-''

Jinki laughed, ''I get it. I could try to defend my job, but being a corporate lawyer really isn’t exciting.''

''So why do you do it?''

''Because that’s what was expected of me. And I’m good at it,'' Jinki laid out openly.

''But… ''

Jonghyun couldn’t even begin to understand how someone could just go about a job without being really passionate about it. He had fought all his life to be able to pursue music as a career because, in the end, there was nothing else he could see himself doing.

''It's alright,'' Jinki laughed off. ''I dodged having to go into the medical field, so that's a win in my book." Jonghyun was tempted to dig further, to understand why the other had settled for a life without much agency, but he didn't feel like it was his place. ''Have I just lost you?'' the brunette inquired. Jonghyun caught the flash of fear that went through his gaze and felt his chest tighten. ''No, not at all,'' he instantly reassured. ''I'm just... intrigued,'' he chose after a moment of thought. ''Okay." A second after, the brunette picked up his glass and downed it just as he had a few minutes before. The gesture surprised him and even more so the absence of coughing that followed. ''Let me order us another round of rum and you can ask away," the older one indicated before doing just that. What followed was a pretty intimate exchange on how they had been brought up, an exchange during which the blonde found himself revealing a lot more than he would have ever imagined. They had just met and there he was talking about how the only good thing his mother had ever done for him was kick him out. By then, they were both half-way through their meals and the place had become even more crowded, but that did nothing to distract them from one another. ''She kicked you out?" Jinki exclaimed, eyes growing wide behind his thick frames. "Well, yeah. She couldn't have a defiant son disturbing her peace all the time," Jonghyun intoned with full-fledged sarcasm. "That's horrible," Jinki voiced in shock.

''Yeah, but it turned out for the best,'' Jonghyun observed. ''Living with my sister helped me get my shit together and get me to where I am now." Silence followed his words as the other looked straight into his eyes. Jonghyun felt a shiver run down his spine. "You're incredible." At that, he was pretty sure the man before him was out to kill him. His heart raced as the words rang loud in his mind. "I'm sure I wouldn't have had that resolve if I were in your place," the other then noted. The blonde wanted to argue and dismiss any credit the other was attributing him, but the dark chocolate orbs he was plunged into took the words right out of him. A little voice in his head told him to stop staring, but he felt paralyzed. He was praying the other would break the spell by looking away, but he didn't. "Do I have something on my face?" Jinki inquired, titter vibrating in his voice. Yes, your face. "No, I'm sorry... I just zoned out..." Jonghyun excused as convincingly as he could. "I get it. I would zone out, too, if we were talking about my painful memories," Jinki remarked, offering him an apologetic look. "It's fine, really," Jonghyun quickly replied as to not blow his cover. "Even so, why don't we move on to lighter stuff now?" the older one proposed with a broad smile that crinkled his eyes. Or perhaps, could we move to a bed? Jonghyun couldn't help but think as the sight before him awakened a part of him he usually managed to keep under control. "Yeah, sure," he said, reciprocating with a smile of his own. The conversation went on from there to discussions on their favorite things, like books, movies, and music. Even though they didn't always share common knowledge or taste in these things, their openness to each other made the rest of the evening go by pleasantly. "Did you enjoy your meal?" Jinki asked after the table had been cleared. "Yeah, it was pretty good," Jonghyun genuinely answered. The brunette grinned. "Glad it was. Do you want dessert?" he then offered. "Hmm... I'd say yes, but I'm pretty stuffed," Jonghyun admitted with a breathy laugh. "We can share," the other proposed before crossing his arms over the draped table. "Their crème brûlée is fantastic and I'd love for you to have a taste." Jonghyun felt his mouth go dry. Even if he would've wanted to say no, the eagerness he could hear in the other's tone had him do the contrary. "Okay, sure," he uttered, hoping his answer came off as nonchalant. He received another eye-blinding smile before the other took the lead again and ordered the aforementioned dessert. It was a few minutes before a small ceramic dish was placed between them. Jonghyun stared at the caramelized crust with interest before his eyes went to the utensils. There was only one spoon. "Um... They forgot a spoon," Jonghyun indicated as his eyes flicked up to the brunette. " I'm not averse to sharing a spoon, so you can eat first, " Jinki naturally settled before picking up the spoon and handing it to him. Jonghyun took it, feeling somewhat uneasy. "Have as much as you want," the other then added with what was meant to be a reassuring smile. But Jonghyun just felt more unnerved by it. All the attention was on him and even though that was something he relished in regards to his music, it wasn't something he loved getting in any other context. Especially not right now, when the attention was coming from a man who seemed to know just what to do to get him riled up. "Please, eat," Jinki urged as his smile grew wider. At that, Jonghyun had no other choice but to comply. He scooped out a spoonful of the creamy custard that hid under the thin crust and brought the spoon to his lips. A subtle flutter graced his lashes as he had his first taste. The sweet eggy flavor mixed with the creamy but light texture felt like a true gift to his taste buds.

"So? Do you like it?" Jinki inquired as a soft smile danced on his full lips.

" Oh, yeah, so good," Jonghyun drawled as his eyes zeroed in on the dent he had made in the dish.

A full laugh rumbled out of the brunette's mouth.

"Enjoy."

Jonghyun met his eyes for a second before he plunged the spoon right back in. The second bite felt even more divine than the first and before he could let himself think, he went in for a third, fourth, and fifth spoonful.

It was only when his mind caught up with his stomach again that he realized that more than half of the receptacle was empty. His eyes widened.

"Oh god, I'm so sorry," he apologized as he put the utensil down and lowered his head like a child awaiting punishment.

He missed the expression of confusion that splayed across the other's face, but heard his words loud and clear.

"You have nothing to be sorry about. This was for you."

Jonghyun dared look up, inheriting the confused look in turn.

"I thought you wanted to share," he pointed out.

The brunette shrugged.

"I've had this dessert a million times. I'm not missing out."

"Still, I-"

"You can have it," Jinki interrupted purposefully.

Jonghyun blinked at him for a few seconds.

"Is it because of the spoon? I can ask-"

"No," the brunette interjected again. "I just want you to have it."

Jonghyun searched his face for any sign that he was lying, but found none.

"Plus," the older one went on, "I've put on a few pounds from stress eating so you'll be doing me a favor if you finish this," he ended with an embarrassed smile that leaned into an airy laugh.

Cute, Jonghyun’s mind prompted without notice. The thought had the blonde looking at the dessert again, not trusting himself one bit if he kept his eyes on the other man facing him.

Best that I just eat this so that I can get out of here.

Jonghyun did just that and soon enough, one of the waiters brought over the bill, immediately handing it to the brunette.

"Shouldn’t there be two?" Jonghyun immediately inquired as he furrowed his brows.

The older one let a pleased smile stretch wide across his face.

"Should there be?"

A shiver ran boldly across the blonde’s spine at that.

"Well, yeah… I mean… "

"I brought you here, so it’s on me," Jinki settled gently.

Before Jonghyun could slide in a word of protest, the brunette made his move and gestured to the same waiter that had lingered nearby. Jonghyun just watched as he felt robbed once more of a parcel of his dignity.

A few minutes later, they were finally heading out, the now cooler breeze of the evening meeting them upon their first step out of the restaurant. A moment of shared silence grew between them as they stood before the entrance and gazed into the half-busy street.

"So… " Jonghyun trailed off into silence.

He really didn’t know what to say at this point. The reality of this only being a one-time thing suddenly loomed in the forefront of his mind.

"Can I be honest with you, Jonghyun?" Jinki suddenly asked as he turned a bit more towards him.

The blonde felt himself tense up a bit at the additional proximity, but composed himself enough to nod.

"I would love for this to happen again," the older one instantly voiced.

His expression seemed serious enough for Jonghyun to believe his words, which only made his heart leap and his stomach flutter.

How does he do that? he couldn’t help but wonder as he felt all control seep out of him through now sweaty hands.

"Me, too," he agreed before time stretched too long between them.

Jinki smiled wide and bright.

"Glad to hear that."

Jonghyun made it a point to keep holding his gaze and return his smile, despite his main effort being on keeping himself together.

"I’ll be texting you soon, okay?" Jinki asked, his tone soft and easy.

"‘Kay," Jonghyun replied as he retreated to his nervous habit of rubbing the back of his neck.

"Did you come here by car?" the brunette then verified.

"Yeah, it’s right over there," the blonde indicated as he pointed towards an early 2000s white Corolla across the street.

"Good," Jinki acknowledged as his gaze followed. "I’ll let you go then. Goodnight, Jonghyun," he offered as departing words before flashing a last smile that read as soft but straightforward.

"Goodnight, Jinki," Jonghyun echoed as his face broke into a bashful smile.

They parted ways right after, Jinki heading farther down the street while Jonghyun headed straight to his car.

The blonde settled quickly into his seat, his head yearning to find the comfort of the steering wheel again. A big sigh left his lips as his forehead hit the sturdy surface.

As his eyes closed, his mind immediately formed an all too vivid image of the man he had spent the evening with. He could once again see his coiffed, but oh-so-soft looking hair, his beautiful bushy eyebrows under which thick frames sat perfectly on a proud nose, and his full lips that didn't waste a chance to stretch into one of the most beautiful smiles Jonghyun had seen in his life. The image could've trailed further down, but Jonghyun knew to draw the line there if he didn't want to make his pants any tighter.

He wasn't going to fool anyone, especially not himself. He was wildly attracted to this man.

And that was a problem.

HI CUTIE DORAAAAAA

9. What member caught your eye first?

I know this sounds crazy. Taemin caught my eyes without the members and god it was love at first sight! sounds cringy ew so i searched him online and watched rdd mv now the thing is…Jjong caught my eyes the whole time im watching. I was so distract with his unique hair color and find him pretty attractive. there’s a story behind this and I cant stop talking abt it so imma stop cus I think i mention this to you before

10. Was there ever a song you didn’t like at first that had to grow on you?

ballad songs. I used to hate it. I found it pretty boring but after listening to the whole lucifer album before I go to bed. the song life has become some sort of my lullaby so I kinda got attached on it and honestly bcs of jongtae’s ballad taste I learned how to like and appreciate ballad songs :D

22. Boys Over Flowers parody or Harry Potter parody?

BOYS OVER FLOWERS!!!!

[rielity]

안녕, 종현아.

If you don’t mind, I’ll take this chance to pen down my thoughts about Jjong. I’ll leave them under the cut, so please don’t feel obliged to read this as I just need somewhere to unload and sort out my jumbled thoughts and emotions.

I hope this will be my last post about him. He wouldn’t have wanted our lives to stop because of him, so I’ll be working on letting go and moving on. 

Like I said previously, Jjong’s death has hit me unexpectedly hard, and in the three days since the news broke until today’s funeral I’ve managed to understand slightly better why it hit so hard.  

If you’ve followed me long enough, you probably know that I’m a second gen kp/opper, and even though I wasn’t a huge shin/ee stan, they were a big part of my kp/op experience because of how close all of them were to my own bias groups groups. Jjong in particular was close to a number of my biases (Jong/hyun from Cnb/lue, Dong/hae, to name a few), and I regarded him as my bias as well.

I guess that’s a huge factor as to why it hurts so much: my own pain at losing an idol of “my” generation, who shaped a part of me even if I never realised how significant it was, layered atop my idols’ loss and grief at losing a brother and a friend. I cried the hardest when I saw the messages that my idols left for him (especially Key’s, oh my god), when I found out about Chang/min’s tribute and Yun/ho calling for him tonight at Toho/shinki’s concert, when I saw how hard Key was crying and how On/ew comforted him, when I saw that Jae/joong had gone to see him.  

Coupled with the fact that it was a widely held belief and hope among fans that Shin/ee would be the second gen kp/op group that would stay fully intact until the day they disbanded, it is even more agonising to witness them losing a member this way.

But that is also how I am finding comfort in this pain, too. I was so distraught when I found out this morning that Su/ju were to be his pallbearers alongside Shin/ee, because god did it hurt, but then I realised that it was also a comfort to know that on his final journey, they would be accompanying him. That they were his family, that he was in good hands, that he would be well and safe wherever he went.

And most importantly, I guess, are the stories about the pearl aqua moon, about the dreams that his fans have had of him (1) (2) (3). I would very much like to believe that he is happy now, and free of all the pain that he was carrying, all the pain that he wasn’t able to get himself free of despite all his best attempts. And I am sure that he is watching, over his family, his friends, and all the Shaw/ols, over all the people that loved him in the time that he was here. He was a shining star, who in the span of a decade touched the lives of thousands of people, even beyond the realms of idol culture. 

They say a person never truly dies until they have been forgotten, until the impact they have left on the world has faded away.

Then in that case, Jjong, you’ll never truly die, because we’ll remember you, always. Thank you for everything, everything that you’ve given to us over the last ten years. You’ve done well, so please rest easy now. 

We’ll meet again in the future. Until then, please take care of us from wherever you are.

수고했다 고생했다.

안녕, 종현아.

[eorumverba]

3 4 5 & 11 for Restraint?

restraint

1: What inspired you to write the fic this way?well………..there was a fic i read and liked so i started to read everything by that author which led me to a watersports fic they did nd initially id been like Ew Watersports but i read it and it wasnt that bad……so i read some More and u know how it is suddenly u go from Ew to Oh, nd so i wrote restraint

3: What’s your favorite line of narration?idk i just…….really like the idea of jjong crying during sex for some reason……..just. him being emotional and everything is too much and he just…cries a little skdjfh

A high pitched, muffled whine and Jonghyun nods, already feeling tears begin to well up in his eyes.

4: What’s your favorite line of dialogue?ok theres like…three….the first one bc good boy + jonghyunnie = nut….the second bc well….Look At It and the third bc soft sleepy jjong…heart nut. but if i had to pick A Favorite i think id pick the first one bc i Really like the phrase good boy sdfkjh

- “Do you want me to stop?” Taemin’s lips graze Jonghyun’s ear when the van lurches and when Jonghyun shakes his head, eyes still shut tight, he nuzzles closer and mumbles, “good boy. Hold it all in, Jonghyunnie.”

- “How about this,” Taemin starts. He slips a third finger in as he speaks, covers Jonghyun’s mouth with his free hand and begins to finger Jonghyun slow and steady and deep, “I’ll fuck you until you come, and you hold it all in for me. Hm? Not gonna stop until you come, baby. And I don’t care how big of a mess you make.”

- “I like when you take care of me,” Jonghyun mumbles; he’s in bed, still naked because of his sleepy little grumbles when Taemin asked if he wanted pajamas, and Taemin slips in next to him after tucking him in.

5: What part was hardest to write?The end, def. i always struggle when it comes to endings;;; and they always feel cliche or boring or just Bad in general sfjdhk no matter what i do with them

11: What do you like best about this fic?the response i think…id kind of been expecting at least one hate message skdfjh but a lot of people liked it and are expecting the sequel so im !!! v pleased and surprised at that

[thankyouforreadingmyusername]

PLEASE DO ALL 22 QUESTIONS OF THE SHINEE ASK

OH SHIT ASDGHDHDH HERE WE GO

1. Who is your SHINee bias?HAHAHAHAHA 

2. Bias wrecker?First, it was Jonghyun and he was putting up a decent fight with Onew, but lost in like three days. And then three months later, Key sneaks up on me AND WOW THAT WAS A TIME OF DARKNESS AND WEAKNESS IT LASTED FOR A WHOLE WEEK and then Key got put in his proper place and all is well

3. Favorite eraI’m gonna say Downtown Baby (although I’m not a fan of the song lol) because that was from when Onew first recovered from his surgery and you could just see him BEAMING and full of energy to be back. And plus his hair in the MV? OH BOOYYYY 👌👌👌

4. Favorite songThis is way too hard, I really have no idea. ONE song? Well I’ll give you a couple…. Lucifer, Picasso, I’m With You, and Married to the Music

5. Favorite albumEither Misconceptions of Us or Married to the Music don’t make me choose

6. When did you get into SHINee? November 14, 2015

7. First song you heard All right so there’s this whole complicated story and I’m gonna try my best to sum it up. So I used to be into anime and would watch fanmade videos and stuff. My friends found this Attack on Titan video where the characters are dancing to Lucifer. What’s funny is that when I heard the song I was like “ew I hate this.” Years later, I was scrolling through this Kpop section in Time Warner Cable and listened to Dream Girl and was like “hahaha boy band all right then” and then I found Lucifer a couple weeks later and was like “eww I don’t like this.” So why am I a SHINee fan? I have no idea lol I didn’t like any of their songs at the beginning.

8. First impression of SHINee?

“Hahaha omg what a boy band *shuts off TV*”

9. Which member caught your eye first?

I’m not sure which one caught my eye in Dream Girl cuz I was kinda amused the whole time I saw the MV the first time, but for Lucifer I fell in love with Taemin for like three days straight because of his hair and then I got over it

10. Was there ever a song you didn’t like at first that had to grow on you?Not gonna lie, a majority of SHINee’s songs have had to grow on me. Back when I first got into them (may I note, my first time hearing kpop) I just was very “ehh” toward like all of their songs but then I ended up just like loving them all (save for a couple)

11. Member you would like to have as a friend?Taemin. Omg he would be so much fun to have as a friend. Minho would be a really cool friend too.

12. Member you would like to have as a brother?None of them because I’ve been attracted to all of them at some point during my Shawol life and that would be pretty gross if they were more brothers lol

13. 3 members + a fuck/marry/kill

Okay so I’m gonna do what Anna did and change kill to kiss because I can.

Fuck: KeyMarry: OnewKiss: Taemin

14. Would you rather… (+ a scenario)Oh look at who forgot to give me one thanks ya dingus

15. Favorite MVOkay so either View, Married to the Music, or Tell Me What to Do – don’t make me choose. View and TMWTD have storylines to the MV so I really like that, and MTTM is just super awesome

16. Do you have a ship? If so, what pairing?………..maaaaaaaaybe

okay so i went a little crazy there

17. Favorite solo activities ((ex. Taemin’s solos (+ Hit the Stage), Jjong solos, Onew DOTS, etc)Onew’s solo whenever it will happen which will definitely be some day otherwise I’m gonna fight

18. Which member do you see as boyfriend/husband material? I don’t like this question. Like in general or like a boyfriend or husband for me? I feel like Minho gives off the best boyfriend vibe and Onew for best husband vibe I guess

19. Is there any group you like to see interacting with SHINee? VIXX because I just really like VIXX. I would say Monsta X but I really just cannot see them interacting. It would still be cool though. I screamed when Hwasa from Mamamoo shyly gave Taemin flowers during PYN promotions because YESSS GIRL GET IT.

20. Any collaborations or solo activities you’d like to see?Onew solo. Like collabs are cool but before anything of that matter I want an Onew solo album so badly.

21. Have you ever showed your non-Kpop friends/family SHINee? If so, what video? If not, what video would you show them?I’ve shown a bunch of my friends different SHINee videos. I showed one friend Born to Shine, Onew singing Nessun Dorma at Tokyo Dome, a compilation of Minho laughs, Everybody MV, Taemin’s solos, and SHINee winning Artist of the Year in 2013. I showed another friend Lucifer and Sherlock back when I first got into them. And I showed another friend three SHINee songs that I just cannot stand and he was cringing. I showed that same guy the Dynamite performance and he was like “I’m getting confused as to what my sexuality is.” I play a lot of SHINee videos in my living room, so my family hears and sees a mix of a bunch of videos and songs.

22. Boys Over Flowers parody or Harry Potter parody?BOF, easily. I watch that video so often it’s scary. My favorite part is when Onew yells in a high-pitched voice and if you look at Key when that happens HES JUST LOSING IT. And then I just love the twist at the end where Onew throws out the bra pads and throws off the wig. The Harry Potter parody is so cringy that I’ve only seen it twice. I can’t handle that video.

THANK YOU FOR THE ASK, MY LOVE. 💗💗

[minhoandthebabes]

Suburban Dad AU Part 26/??

I’m honestly amazed people still want to see stuff from this. But here it is! I had the idea over winter break, and then it kinda festered and evolved into this. I might add more to it later.. I dk.. Kinda lost my train of thought with all of it. I will still tag @bat-nerut because this couldn’t have been a thing without her.

Minho woke up with a jolt. His phone was buzzing loudly on the glass table next to him. He grabbed it and pulled it to his ear, accepting the call out of instinct. “Hello..” he grumbled. Next to him, he could feel Kibum shift, wrapping an arm around Minho’s bare waist.

“What is it?” Kibum asked, sliding closer to Minho for warmth. “What time is it..” Kibum lifted his head when he heard Minho snore. He pulled the phone from Minho’s ear and brought it to his own.

An animatedly chipper voice on the other line was repeating the same information over and over. “We would like to inform you that all school is canceled in district 213 for the date of February 10th. We’re sorry for the inconvenience and hope you have a fantastic day.” Kibum pulled the phone from his ear and checked the time “4 am..” he murmured before closing his eyes, “Who the hell calls at 4 am for a snow day.” He curled into Minho and fell back asleep to the sound of the other man snoring, only after turning off Minho’s alarm for the next day.

When Kibum opened his eyes again, a bright light was shining onto his face. He squinted, and looked around him, feeling a bit lost. “Ming..” His voice was rough and gravely. “Minho..” he poked the other man in the side, pushing a groan out of him. Kibum rolled over, feeling someone next to him. As he moved he began to realize just how far to one side of the bed he was. Lying next to him was Taemin, along with Jinki who was cuddling the child in his arms. Smiling, Kibum ran his hand on Jinki’s cheek, caressing his skin with his thumb.

His son stirred, stretching before opening his eyes, “Dad?” Jinki squinted at the sunlight, “Why didn’t you wake us up? Aren’t we missing school?”

“Guess what today is?” He scooted closer to Jinki, pulling Taemin from Jinki to his chest.

“What?” Jinki yawned into the back of his hand.

Kibum grinned, “It’s a snow day!”

Jinki sat up, “Really? What?” He tried to get out of the bed, but tripped over his own blanket and fell to the floor, shaking the ground beneath him.

Kibum glanced over the edge of the bed, “Are you okay?”

Nodding, Jinki was getting up to run into the next room, going to wake up his siblings.

Kibum sighed and settled back down into the bed, pulling the blankets up to his chin to shield himself and Taemin from the cold. He felt an arm snake around his waist, and pull him back a little bit.

“Did you tell the boys?” Minho asked, moving to kiss the crook of Kibum’s neck as he tightened his grip on Kibum’s smaller body.

Kibum let out a soft breathy laugh, “Yeah, I told Jinki and he’ll tell the others.”

“I wish they weren’t awake..” Minho moved his hips slightly into Kibum’s, making his morning arousal painfully obvious to Kibum.

Kibum elbowed Minho. “Stop it,” He hissed, “Taemin is right here..”

“I love our kids, but..” Minho grumbled, stopping his motions.

Kibum turned over, bringing Taemin with him. Minho’s son curled into Minho’s chest, shivering slightly. Minho brought his arms around Taemin to warm him. “Yeah, I love our kids..”

“We’ll find time for that eventually.” Kibum smirked, “but now for now.. Should we start breakfast?”

Minho stretched and his mouth followed his body, releasing a loud yawn before he snuggled back in, “The boys can starve, I just want to sleep.”

Kibum raised an eyebrow, “You seemed very keen on doing something else just a few minutes ago..” he reminded Minho, calling his bluff. Kibum’s comment was greeted by silence, and he sighed before rolling out of bed.

At the sudden shift in weight on the bed, Minho groaned, “Sleeping in isn’t fun if you aren’t here..” Taemin saw Kibum was getting up and tried to break free from Minho’s hold on him to go with his other dad.

“Well, I’m going to be the responsible one and make breakfast,” Kibum explained, pulling Taemin out of Minho’s grasp. “And little Taeminnie wants to go with me, isn’t that right?” He puckered his lips for the small child and Taemin happily kissed back.

It was the smell of coffee that brought Minho downstairs. He heard the boys playing super Mario in the family room, laughing and yelling at each other, while Taemin shared a story with Kibum. He stretched as he entered the kitchen, his stomach becoming a little exposed, his shirt lifting.

Kibum turned around at the sound of Minho’s yawn and his features softened as he saw the other man. “How’s my sleepy boy?”

Minho stumbled up to Kibum and wrapped his arms around Kibum’s middle from behind, “I still want to sleep..”

“Why are you so tired?” He asked. He worked on flipping the pancakes.

Minho shrugged before kissing Kibum’s neck and sucking lightly. His hips swayed and he guided Kibum’s with him.

“Daddy’s a vampire!!” Taemin shrieked from where he sat, pointing to Minho.

Minho let go of Kibum and looked at Taemin with surprise at the exclamation before playing along. He brought his fingers up to his mouth to make fake fangs, “Oh, am I?” He smirked, “Maybe I’ll have you for breakfast.” He pounced Taemin and started tickling him onto the floor. He paused for a brief moment to look at Taemin before pulling his shirt up to blow on his belly, eliciting a loud laugh from his son.

Kibum watched the scene and smiled, “Okay Dracula, it’s time for breakfast, you too, boys!” He called over to the group that was arguing over who could be the blue toad this time around.

Standing, Minho looked at Kibum who was standing tall with his apron and a spatula in hand, “Thank you for doing this baby, you didn’t have to.”

Kibum shook his head, “I wanted to..” he stood on his toes and kissed Minho’s lips softly.

Jinki stuck his tongue out as he got closer, “Ew, do you guys really have to do that over our food?”

“I think it’s cute and romantic..” Jonghyun mumbled sitting down. Both twins flanked him as usual.

“Oh do you? Then I’ll kiss you!” Onew said laughing, “That would be so weird, wouldn’t it?”

Jonghyun blushed, “Yeah.. we’re brothers now!” He looked up at Minho awkwardly to which his father smiled down upon him.

“Let’s just eat,” Minho sat next to Taemin, pinching his son’s cheek, “I turned Taemin into a vampire, so you boys better be careful..”

Jinki and Onew played along while Jonghyun looked at the food intently. Minho could sense something was off about his son but didn’t say anything. Instead, he started serving those around him.

When everyone was stuffed, Minho sat forward. “So, what do you boys want to do? Because you’re not going to just sit here and play video games all day.”

There was a chorus of groans from the three older kids, but Taemin was too busy playing with his spoon to really care. The baby of the family was looking at himself in the spoon, fascinated with his own face and it’s distorted reflection.

“We can have a snowball fight, go sledding, or.. There’s this place nearby that has these inner tubes you can rent and there’s this giant hill we can go down! How does that sound?”

“Number three!” Jinki said sitting forward, “I vote for that one.”

“Me too!” Onew chimed in, “Won’t that be fun Jjong?”

Jonghyun nodded, “Sure, that sounds good..”

Kibum looked at Minho with a raised eyebrow, his arms crossed, “Are you sure this is okay? Is Taemin old enough to do this? Is it safe?”

Minho nodded, “And if Taemin can’t, there’s a lodge by the hill and we can take turns watching him.”

Kibum sighed, “If the boys are happy, then I guess we can go..”

All three boys cheered in unison, making Taemin look up from what he was doing.

“We’re going sledding Taemin, won’t that be fun?” Kibum said, smoothing his hair.

Taemin nodded, “Is that like in the movies?”

“Sort of..” Kibum took Taemin’s plate from him, “Where we’re going, it’s like.. Rolling down a hill, but you’re in a tube!”

Taemin looked at him a bit confused but went back to playing with the spoon before Kibum took it from him as well. “You should go upstairs and get dressed, okay?” Kibum pulled him from his chair and put him on the ground to walk upstairs, following the older boys who were happy to lead him.

“Are you sure he’s old enough for this?” Kibum asked, “Won’t he get cold?”

Minho shook his head, “It’s actually getting warmer outside, so don’t worry about him being cold. I’m more worried about him not enjoying it. You’re right.. He is young..”

Kibum sighed and started to clear the table and Minho jumped to help him with. “Go sit, I’ll do this.”

“No, It’s fine, I got it..” Kibum said. The sound of clinking plates filled the room as he stacked each one.

“Seriously, go relax. You made breakfast so it’s the least I can do.” He pulled the stack from Kibum and brought them over to the dishwasher.

When he turned around again, the rest of the table was left empty and Kibum was putting things away in the fridge, humming to himself. When he shut the door with his hip, Minho grabbed his hand and pulled him into his arms.

“We make a good team,” he kissed Kibum’s cheek softly, a hand resting on his waist.

Kibum tried hard not to blush, but it seemed impossible not to. “Well..” he cleared his throat, “I think we should look up the age restrictions before we get there.. I don’t want the boys to be disappointed.”

Minho nodded, “That’s a good idea. Might as well do it now anyway.” He pulled away from Kibum and grabbed his phone. Leaning over the counter he checked his notifications before opening the device and putting in the name of the destination. As he read the general info, he felt a pinch on his ass and jumped before looking over his shoulder to see Kibum standing there.

“Sorry, I couldn’t help myself.. You look really good in sweatpants, you know that?”

Minho laughed, “You, mister fashion, think that I look good in the least fashionable item on the market.”

Kibum nodded, “It’s your butt that looks good..” He squeezed it and Minho turned around, a red tint to his cheeks.

“Well, aren’t you feeling frisky..”

Kibum grinned, “Sorry.. You know, maybe we could stay here and the boys could play outside while we play inside..” he bit his lip and looked down at Minho’s plush lips that were forming his next words.

“How can you still make me blush.. We’ve been together for over two years.” He shook his head but there was still a smile spread across his face.

Kibum leaned a little forward so his forehead pressed against Minho’s, “I don’t know, but you still make me happy, and that’s what matters.” He closed the gap between the two and kissed Minho, letting his tongue slip past the other man’s lips almost immediately. He wanted to remind Minho of the problem he had been having before.

Warmth filled Minho’s chest and he naturally pulled Kibum closer to him by his waist. “There’s an age limit,” Minho informed him between kisses, his breath heavy against Kibum’s. “But that doesn’t mean we can’t sled here.” He smiled.

Suddenly a little voice pulled him out of his intimate moment. “What are you saying daddy?” Taemin was looking up at him with bright, innocent eyes.

Minho smiled and pulled Taemin up to be between him and Kibum, “We’re going to sled here. It’s too snowy out to going anywhere else anyway.”

Taemin looked between the two men before smiling sweetly, “Okay, I want to sled with Jinki and Jonghyun and Onew!”

Laughing, Minho put him down, “Of course you’ll sled with them! And you’ll sled with your daddies too.”

Minho then looked at Kibum, biting his lip, he had to refrain from asking the other man to just run upstairs with him and lock the door for the afternoon. “I have to talk with Jonghyun,” he told Kibum, “Stay here and keep Taemin happy, okay?”

“Okay,” Kibum smiled up at him, “I’ll just stay.”

Minho went upstairs slowly and found Jonghyun’s room. He knocked on the door softly but accidentally opened it a little in the process.

“Jonghyun?” He asked, “Are you okay in there?”

Jonghyun was lying on his bed, still in his pajamas. He seemed to ignore Minho’s, and Minho took that opportunity to enter the room fully.

“Jonghyun..” Minho tried again.

His son turned his head, and Minho could see that he had been crying. Minho ran up to him and sat on the side of his bed. “What’s the matter?” He asked, resting a hand delicately on his stomach.

The tears started to flow from Jonghyun’s eyes again, and Minho brought a hand to his head, letting his fingers comb through the hair like he knew Jonghyun liked. “I-” he barely squeaked and Minho shushed him immediately.

“Just let it out..” Minho whispered. Minho had never expected to have such a delicate son. Jonghyun always let the smallest things get to him, and it had honestly been hard for Minho. He wanted his son to be stronger, but he also knew that this was just how Jonghyun was. He processed his emotions through crying, and so far it hadn’t affected him, so there was no reason to fight it.

Jonghyun started to calm down and Minho pulled him in for a tight hug, “Are you feeling a bit better?” His son wiped his nose on his arm and nodded. “Can you tell me what happened? Who does your dad have to beat up?” He asked with a laugh.

“I.. didn’t do well on my test,” Jonghyun said, “Remember? The math test?” He sniffed a few times.

Minho nodded, “Yes, it.. Didn’t seem like that big of a deal to me.”

“Dad..” Jonghyun pulled away from Minho just to glare at him. Minho could read the message and backed off.

“I’m sorry,” He let his hand stroke through Jonghyun’s hair, “What about the test didn’t you like? What do you want to change for next time?”

“I-” He went to say something but stopped himself. “I’m a horrible person.” he shook his head.

Minho looked at him shocked, “My Jonghyun? A terrible person? Far from it actually. You’ve been kinder than me at times.”

Jonghyun shook his head more, hiding his eyes from Minho, “I’m.. I’m mad at Jinki and Onew. They’re my brothers, and I’m mad at them.”

“What did they do?” Minho put on his dad voice.

“They did better than I did on the test..” He kept avoiding Minho’s face.

Minho tried to keep from laughing, “That’s all?” he asked, his hand coming up to pull Jonghyun’s face to look at his own. “It’s okay that that happened Jonghyun..”

“No, it’s not! I studied so much and they barely did and they still got a better grade than me!” Jonghyun started to fight back and Minho got on the defensive.

“Jonghyun,” he sighed, “You’re going to be good at some things, and they’re going to be good at others. If everyone was perfect at everything, then what’s the point!” He soothed the back of Jonghyun’s head and pulled him in for another hug. “It’ll be okay. If you need to spend some time away from them, that’s okay too.”

Jonghyun shook his head, “They’re my best friends, I don’t want to be away from them!”

“Then let’s go build an igloo or something, sound good?”

Jonghyun nodded and stood, wiping his nose again.

Minho stuck out his tongue, “And go wash your arm.. It’s covered in boogers.”

Looking at his arm, Jonghyun grinned, “No, this is perfect!” He ran back downstairs and started threatening his brothers with his snot.

Minho laughed and followed him down the stairs, soon Kibum was yelling for Minho, begging him to control Jonghyun. To which Minho swooped in to pick up Kibum bridal style and carry him upstairs to their room.

“You’ll be safe up here my delicate flower,” Minho kissed his forehead which was greeted by a punch in the arm followed by a sweet kiss back.

[taeminuet]

yes-to-everything replied to your post “Faith”

How about second part where Kibum marks Taemin?;) Thank you for writing Taekey and omegaverse!��

I’m really glad that you enjoyed it! Taekey is not usually a ship i frequently write, to be honest, so i’m glad that people enjoyed it! (in retrospect, maybe i should try out tropes i’m not used to with pairings i am or vice verse but, like... also, unironically yolo, so... /shrug, lmao.)

This wasn’t intended to have a follow-up, and if i do write one, it’ll be a bit because of other wips i’m trying to finish up, but i will take it into consideration, definitely~! uwu

(but also, if anyone needs a mental follow-up, please imagine soft sj bab Jjong showing up half an hour later and being all !!! about Tae’s honor, annoyed beta/group leader Jinki showing up like, ‘>:v what the fuck guys it was like a few hours. you were alone for like less than a day’, and Choi showing up just... ‘welp too late now, let them live’

and also they would be happy for them probably once they got everything figured out, but Jinki still makes Taemin go do all the laundry Immediately after his heat, half because punishment but mostly b/c ew.)

[shineepenguin]

@joonmyeon-junmyeon-joonmyun tagged me (I hate you. Just saying) 1. Who was your first bias and who is your current one? My first bias was Kyungsoo… and well now I guess it’s Jonghyun (but Kyungsoo is still there lurking around. Can’t choose between them. I usually stick to Jjong tho) 2. Why did you get into kpop? A friend was like “hey check this video!” (It was SNSD, fyi) and I was like “EW”. Fast forward 2 weeks, I was bored, got on YouTube watched Wolf, Sexy Free and Single and What Is Love and I said bye to social life to sell my soul to uncle Satan and Korean men in sparkly clothes (I’m talking about you SHINee) 3. If you could join any kpop group, who would you choose? I’d choose EXO (but SM 😱) but then I can feel Jonghyun’s puppy eyes on me so I’ll say SHINee (?) but still… SM 😱 BTS could be fun… or GOT7… HONESTLY I DON’T KNOW. Probably SHINee or EXO 4. If all your biases proposed to you, who would you pick? BOI. Jonghyun (?) but Jongkey…. my OTP…. WELL TOO BAD… SORRY KIBUM 5. If you could be in a fanfic, what genre would it be? WOLF!AU ALL THE WAYYYYYY 6. What mythological creature would you be if you had the chance? MMMMMMH……. is Suho’s credit card a mythological creature? 7. Supernatural!au or Mafia!au MAFIA!AU FOR LIFE. 8. Which kpop idol would you switch bodies with? Kibum probably. HAVE YOU SEEN HIM? He’s so beautiful… K. Bye. 9. If you could have any idol as a pocket-sized companion, who would you pick? Kyungsoo. He’d be even shorter and cuter and he’d be all like “I’m not cute” *pouts* 10. What idol would you want as a sibling? Xiumin? I feel like we’d get along and we could pick on Baek together. And Hey I could see him strolling shirtless around home so that’s a plus *wink wink* and I’d give him all the attention he needs *glares at SM* 11. If you were able to say five words to your bias, what would you say? To Jonghyun I would say, “Love your music. Take care”.

@seekaiwo MUAHA. Your turn.
