Note: this is a fill for this prompt
An unconscious smile lights up Joonmyun’s face as he watches the night lights emanating from every corner of Myeongdong street. Young couples, singles, families, are scattered everywhere, enjoying their lifetime. A spark of happy feeling appears in his chest because everyone is blithesome.
Joonmyun strengthen his handgrip in a much bigger hand of the guy on his side when he suddenly remembers the cold temperature. He is never fond of cold, but he won’t let it ruin this very special moment.
Because It is Sehun and Joonmyun’s 2nd marriage anniversary.
Sometimes Joonmyun thinks how did he manage to marry a guy like Sehun. A guy who whispers him ‘I love you’ closely in his ear everyday in the morning right after Joonmyun flutters his eyes open. A guy who holds him like Joonmyun is something he treasures the most. The only guy who never fails to make his heart flutters.
He has never felt so happy as the past two years of his life and Sehun is the best he could ever ask for.
“Why are you smiling to yourself?” Joonmyun must’ve been too preoccupied with his own thoughts that he didn’t realize Sehun has been staring at him dumbly, furrowing his thick eyebrows in a judging way.
Joonmyun pouts and whines. “It’s because I’m happy.” He catches the younger guy rolls his eyes before his lips turn into a soft smile.
“I can’t believe it’s been two years,” Sehun hums, his clear eyes soften. Joonmyun stares up at him lovingly, nodding his head slowly.
Sehun diverts his eyes back at him, the previously soft gaze replaced by a mischievous one and a cheeky grin. “I meant, I can’t believe it’s been two years I got stuck with an incredibly lame and short guy.”
Joonmyun lets out a short gasp, expression turns into 180 degrees, before he shoves his husband lightly. Sehun tries to stifle his laugh, and failing miserably in the process. It’s almost every day the younger tells him the fact that he is short, but still.
Sehun’s heart flutters at the sight of Joonmyun pouting like a little kid that has his candy taken away. The older can do nothing as Sehun softly pulls him closer and kisses the red and pouty lips.
Joonmyun blushes a light shade of pink and Sehun chuckles softly. “It’s been two years and you still blush hard everytime I kiss you??” he teases, raising his eyebrows at him.
Joonmyun grunts and shoves Sehun back for the second time. “Shut up,” he mumbles and sighs because the younger won’t stop teasing him.
They continue walking down the crowded street, enjoying the special day of the couple, talking about every topics that come out in their minds with a little bit of bickering, and unconsciously tighten their tangled hands.
★★★
“Hey,” Sehun speaks up first after a comfortable silence as they’re eating the dinner that has just been served. They stop by a hot pot restaurant around Myeongdong as the final round of their little celebration of their 2nd anniversary.
Sehun breathes nervously and looks at anything but Joonmyun who’s sitting across of him. The smaller raises his eyebrows, putting down his chopsticks. It is obvious that his husband is nervous about something.
“Uh, first I want to say sorry because- uhm, you’ve been wanting this but I kept refusing- uh, it’s because I wasn’t ready- uh, actually, I’ve been considering about it thoughtfully.” Sehun fixes his gaze on Joonmyun carefully, licking his lips as a habit of him every time he’s nervous.
Joonmyun stares hard at him. “What are you trying to say?” he asks confusedly.
“Let’s adopt a kid,” Joonmyun’s eyes widen and he gasps softly. He is surprised that he can’t even utter a single word. Having a kid has always been Joonmyun’s dream, but Sehun had always refused to have one because he wasn’t ready for some reasons.
Sehun smiles warmly as Joonmyun squeals, his eyes twinkling in joy. “Are you serious?”
Joonmyun squeals louder when he finds the younger nodding as the response. He leans forward and suddenly Sehun feels a peck on his lips. When Joonmyun pulls back, the smile is still on his face, and Sehun doubts it’ll gone sooner.
“I want more.” He complains and earns a light chuckle from Joonmyun. “I’ll give you as much as you want later at home.” Joonmyun whispers and Sehun smiles widely, can’t seemingly wait to reach their home.
★★★
Two exact days later, the couple sits in a waiting room of a medium-sized house. Sehun chuckles lightly as he examines Joonmyun who’s been smiling ever since he woke up this morning, and keeps on telling him that words can’t describe the amount of happiness he’s feeling right now.
A few minutes later, a woman with long hair and looks the same age as the both of them, steps out of the room which is located in the corridor in front of them.
“Good morning, I’m Seohyun.” She greets with a smile which is returned by the couple. The woman then invites them into her room.
“How can I help you?” Seohyun asks, after Sehun and Joonmyun sit comfortably across of her.
“We’d like to adopt a kid,” Joonmyun replies, enthusiastically, followed by a nod from Sehun.
A warm smile appears on her face before she pulls out a paper from the drawer under the desk. A few minutes later is spent with Seohyun asking them about their basic information.
After they complete the registration process, she leads them out of the room, they walk down the corridor until they reach in the backyard, and find out that there’s actually a small house in there.
Joonmyun’s eyes lit up when they get in the small house and realizes that it’s actually a playground.
The room is filled with screaming children, and toys scattered everywhere. There are about 15 children after Joonmyun counts. They’re barely here for 3 minutes, and yet Joonmyun wants to kiss all of their cheeks. That is how much he likes children.
The squeeze of Sehun’s hand is what brings his mind back. He looks up and sees Sehun smiling at him. “Pick whoever you want.”
Joonmyun nods happily and drags the younger to walk around the room after Seohyun lets them.
There’s a pair of boy playing with toy guns and running around the room, a bunch of girls playing Barbie, and the others are playing lego and some are drawing.
They are all so cute that Joonmyun has the urge to adopt everyone. He feels sad at the same time that those kids can’t feel the warmth of love from parents that they need. He can only hope all of them will be adopted by people with sincere heart.
When they’re almost done walking down the room, Joonmyun catches a boy sitting alone on a couch, he is seen watching One Piece in a serious expression. His big eyes and heart-shaped lips make Joonmyun’s heart squeals because he looks so cute.
Sehun who has felt so out of place, raises his eyebrows when Joonmyun suddenly drags him forward and stops next to a couch which has a boy sitting on it.
Joonmyun takes a seat slowly next to the boy, not wanting to scared him. The boy turns to him in alert and stares up at him curiously.
“Hello, I’m Joonmyun. What’s your name?” he says while holding out his hand and smiling softly, generating a warmth into the boy’s heart. He feels really happy when the boy puts his small hand in his, “I’m Kyungsoo.”
Sehun who’s been standing there awkwardly, smiles watching how his lover can easily reach the boy’s heart.
”You have a really nice name.” Joonmyun says, his smile is wide and Sehun laughs because Kyungsoo doesn’t show any reaction, and keeps on staring at him with his big adorable eyes.
Sehun’s laugh reminds Joonmyun of his husband’s existence, and Joonmyun says, “Kyungsoo, this is Sehun.” He points at the taller before taking his hand in his. Kyungsoo diverts his eyes at their tangled hands and for a moment there’s something deep in his eyes.
Sehun squats down to Kyungsoo’s eye level, “Nice to meet you, Kyungsoo.” He says and smiles gently, holding out his hand which is also welcomed by Kyungsoo, followed by his little nods.
Simultaneously, Seohyun appears before them, happiness plastered on her face. “Looks like you’ve picked a perfect kid?”
Joonmyun looks up at her with sparkling eyes and without even saying anything Sehun gets the vibe, he laughs and gives Seohyun a nod.
Joonmyun feels complete holding Kyungsoo’s little hand in his left hand, and Sehun’s hand in his right hand. He feels genuinely happy, and promises to himself that he’ll give all his love and everything to Kyungsoo and Sehun.
★★★
When they reach home, the atmosphere is light and cheerful. Sehun and Joonmyun feel as if they’ve just opened a new chapter of their household. It feels as if they’ve filled the void inside their small family, and Sehun has no regrets at all deciding to adopt a kid.
When Kyungsoo sets foot in their house for the first time, Joonmyun notices how his eyes dart around the house, and he senses the little hand in his turns a bit colder.
He’s getting worried if Kyungsoo feels scared of something. He remembers shortly, after they decided to adopt Kyungsoo, Seohyun told them about Kyungsoo’s profile, therefore, the couple found out that Kyungsoo’s 5 years old.
Moreover, she also stated about the reason why Kyungsoo had ended up in the orphanage. Hearing the reality spoken by Seohyun had made his heart broke into pieces and shed a tear, while there was despair on Sehun’s face as he rubbed Joonmyun’s back soothingly.
It leaves him heartbroken and worried if Kyungsoo has a trauma and he’ll be so disappointed of himself if he can’t wipe it out, because Kyungsoo deserves happiness.
“Kyungsoo, are you okay?” he asks, squatting down and Kyungsoo stares at his new parents worried eyes. The couple gets a nod from him.
Joonmyun smiles a few moments later before he gives his son a warm hug. “Now let’s take you to the bedroom that we’ve prepared for you!” he says, voice full with enthusiasm and pulls Kyungsoo with him, the three of them go up to the second floor.
They walk down the small corridor and stops in between two opposite doors. Sehun opens the door in the right side and walks in the room, followed by Joonmyun who blurts out, “Ta-da~~,” right when they step in the medium-sized room. The room is painted in light blue, and it has a bed in the corner next to the window. There’s a closet located a few steps away from the bed, a bathroom is in the opposite corner, and a carpet is placed nicely in the middle of the room.
Sehun and Joonmyun look down at Kyungsoo to see his response and they’re relieved to see their son’s eyes twinkling in joyful. “Looks like he likes it.” Sehun whispers into Joonmyun’s ear as he embraces Joonmyun’s small waist. The older stares up at his lover and nods before he flashes him a gentle smile.
“Do you like it, Kyungsoo?” Joonmyun asks, and he gets an anxious nod from the boy whose eyes can’t seemingly stop staring at his new room. His big eyes emit the happiness he’s currently feeling, and it makes Joonmyun wants to kiss his him so badly.
After spending time arranging Kyungsoo’s belongings in the room, the couple leaves him so he can rest and get some sleep. They walk out of the room and get in their own room which is located in the opposite of Kyungsoo’s room.
Joonmyun breathes out heavily and sits on their king-sized bed. Sehun, seeing the unreadable expression on his face, approaches him after he quickly changes into more casual clothes. He pecks the older’s lips, distracting his thoughts.
“What are you thinking about?” Sehun asks as he sits next to him, taking his smaller hand in his.
Joonmyun glances up at him and smiles sadly, “I’m just thinking about Kyungsoo. I feel so sad that he had an unhappy childhood.”
The younger then nods gently and says, “I can’t believe anyone would treat their own child like that, then threw him to an orphanage.” he tightens his grip on Joonmyun’s hand.
Joonmyun rests his head on Sehun’s shoulder, “I want to erase those bad memories off his mind.” he says, “But I doubt I can do that.”
Sehun kisses his head softly and smiles, “I’m sure you can. We can. We’ll be the best Parents for him.” Sehun says firmly. Joonmyun has a wide smile at the corner of his lips as he wraps his hands around Sehun’s waist.
After a few minutes of cuddling, kissing, and whispering ‘I love yous into each others’ lobes, Joonmyun gets off the bed to prepare the dinner.
Before he walks to the stairs, he opens the door to Kyungsoo’s room carefully just to check on him, and he finds the boy sleeping soundly on his new bed, an open comic lying on his side.
Joonmyun steps closer, smiling softly as he watches his son’s innocent sleeping face. He strokes his smooth hair and kisses him on the cheek carefully before he walks out of the room.
★★★
They enroll Kyungsoo to a kindergarten which is recommended by Wufan and Baekhyun, their neighbors. Somehow, Baekhyun has found out about them adopting a kid without even Joonmyun or Sehun informed him in the first place. But it’s not surprising anymore, since Baekhyun is known as the gossip queen among them.
“Your son won’t feel lonely at school!” Baekhyun assured him when they were talking on the phone earlier. Apparently, their sons, Yixing, Chanyeol, and Zitao, also go to the same kindergarten, same goes to Xiumin and Luhan’s twins, Jongin and Jongdae.
Joonmyun’s morning routine is becoming increasingly busy with preparing Sehun’s work suit -he always wakes up late because he wouldn’t stop cuddling Joonmyun and the older has to think of some tricky ways to get out of his arms- so he has no time to choose on his own. And then, Joonmyun has to take care of Kyungsoo’s uniform and makes breakfast for the three of them.
Fortunately, he is a novelist, so it doesn’t really demand him to wake up in the early morning in every weekdays, in fact he tends to always be home. He’ll only go to the office to finalize his novel or because there are other specific reasons, which is rare.
Though he’s busy, it feels nice because it has always been his dream to have a complete family. He’s also glad that Kyungsoo has started to open up to them, especially to him. He also has started to call him appa, and call Sehun dad. Those little things manage to make his heart swell and flutter in blissful.
Joonmyun pours the kimchi fried rice he just cooked onto the three plates on the table and yells, “Breakfast’s ready!” and a few minutes later, loud footsteps coming down the stairs can be heard and Sehun appears in the kitchen, followed by little Kyungsoo trailing behind.
Joonmyun sits him next to himself while Sehun takes a sit across of them and has started eating without even bothering to wait for them. Joonmyun rolls his eyes. Kyungsoo looks hesitant to eat, and as Joonmyun notices it, he strokes the boy’s head, “Let’s eat,”.
Kyungsoo smiles before he starts scooping the rice. He nods bashfully while chewing gently when Joonmyun asks him if the food is okay.
“Your cooking has always been the best.” Sehun exclaims all of a sudden before he smiles, his gaze fixed on Joonmyun making the older guy’s cheeks turn bright red.
After they’re done with breakfast, Joonmyun prepares bento for Kyungsoo before he puts it in his Naruto bag. Kyungsoo will be escorted to the school by Sehun before proceeding to his office.
Joonmyun escorts them to the front door, then he kisses Kyungsoo’s cheeks, making him blush and Joonmyun laughs. “Congratulations on your first day of school! Take care, okay?” he says gently.
“So I’m not getting a morning kiss?” Sehun wails and pouts, and suddenly it feels like Joonmyun is taking care of two kids. He rolls his eyes playfully before he tip-toes and pecks his lips. “Take care you too, and drive carefully.” Sehun smiles in satisfaction before he nods happily.
Joonmyun waits until finally their car disappears in view. He heaves a sigh before his lips tug upwards in a smile because the morning feels too perfect and the sun shines so brightly.
★★★
Oh-Kim family’s everyday life goes on as usual, only now there’s this integrity that they couldn’t feel before Kyungsoo came to their life. Every day, after Kyungsoo is back from school, Joonmyun will accompany him watching his favorite cartoons, or he’ll take him out to buy ice cream or bubble tea.
Sometimes, Jongin, Jongdae, Yixing, Chanyeol, and Zitao will come over to play with Kyungsoo, and while they’re playing, Joonmyun will prepare cookies and milk for them. Sometimes, it’s Kyungsoo who’ll visit and play at their houses.
In one afternoon, after Joonmyun picks Kyungsoo up from school, the boy becomes abnormally quiet in the car until they reach home. Kyungsoo isn’t a fussy kid, but usually he’ll talk about things that happened at the school every time Joonmyun picks him up.
What’s odd even more is the bright pink on his cheeks and he keeps touching his lips. Joonmyun who becomes curious and worried at the same time, decides to ask him when they’re watching One Piece together in the living room.
“Did something happen at school?” he asks softly and smiles. Kyungsoo who doesn’t even look focus, stares up at Joonmyun with his adorable eyes.
“You have to tell me if there is someone disturbing you at school,” Joonmyun is getting more anxious at the thought of someone disrupting his lovely son. Fortunately, Kyungsoo shakes his head, and Joonmyun sighs in relief.
However, it only makes him feel more curious. He lifts up Kyungsoo’s small body and settles him on his lap before he stares at him chiefly.
“Then what happened?” he asks, hands gripping faintly on the boy's small waist.
Kyungsoo gazes up at him doubtfully as the pink colors on his cheeks are getting brighter. “I got kissed.” His voice is so small and sounds hesitant.
Joonmyun gasps softly, his mouth hanging agape. He didn’t expect that at all. “You got kissed? Where?”
The colors on Kyungsoo’s cheeks are still there and now he’s playing with the buttons of Joonmyun’s shirt. “Lips. Jongin kissed me.” He reveals shyly.
Joonmyun’s lips form an O-shape before he giggles watching Kyungsoo’s expression, he looks so cute puffing his cheeks and Joonmyun can’t hold the urge to kiss his lips. He’s planning to tell Sehun, Luhan, and Minseok about this later.
★★★
“You have to know something.” Joonmyun says eagerly later at night as he crawls into their bed. He then positions himself next to Sehun who is leaning back against the headboard, playing a game on his iPad.
“What?” Sehun asks without taking his eyes off his iPad’s screen. Joonmyun chuckles lightly before he leans half of his weight to the younger’s chest and Sehun’s hand find its way into Joonmyun’s waist before he rests his chin on the top of the older’s head.
“Jongin kissed Kyungsoo today!” Joonmyun says as he giggles loudly. “What??” Sehun extends his hand to the side to put down his iPad on the small table next to their bed.
“Kyungsoo said it himself. He was blushing hard when he told me shyly. He looked so cute!” Joonmyun squeals and clasps his hands while Sehun smiles, wide. “That’s so cute”
“I don’t blame Jongin though, our son is too cute and he is a really kind boy. Who wouldn’t fall in love with him?” Joonmyun adds, proudly and Sehun chuckles softly.
“Oh! I also found out today that blue is Kyungsoo’s favorite color, basically the same with me. We really do have many similarities.” he continues, seemingly won’t stop talking about Kyungsoo.
Sehun is delighted listening to Joonmyun talking happily and getting excited but his eyelids are heavy because of exhaustion while Joonmyun doesn’t even notice it. But he can tolerate because the older just simply looks too happy and he loves it when his lover is happy and smiling.
“Babe, I seriously feel so sleepy.” Sehun says as he yawns and Joonmyun pouts, but obeys him in the end. Sehun collapses his body on the comfy beds, followed by Joonmyun who immediately curls up into his chest before Sehun protectively puts his arm around Joonmyun’s waist just as usual.
★★★
Sehun loves his family. He loves Joonmyun and Kyungsoo. He is genuinely happy watching Joonmyun interacts with Kyungsoo. He is happy to see how Joonmyun’s eyes sparkle when he’s watching Kyungsoo on the couch, watching his favorite cartoon while hugging his pororo plushie. He is happy to find the affections radiating from Joonmyun’s eyes when Kyungsoo calls him appa, when Kyungsoo hugs him, when Kyungsoo laughs. He melts when he sees them cuddling each other while watching TV until Kyungsoo falls asleep on Joonmyun’s arms.
What he didn’t expect is how those things have been increasingly bothering him. He didn’t expect he has to swallow through the tightness in the back of his throat when he’s back from work and gets no usual welcome kiss from Joonmyun by reason of not having the heart to wake Kyungsoo up who’s sleeping on his lap.
He didn’t expect to be fed up because all Joonmyun ever talk about is Kyungsoo, Kyungsoo, and Kyungsoo. He didn’t expect to feel empty inside realizing the gleaming of love on Joonmyun’s eyes is no longer addressed to him but only to Kyungsoo.
He didn’t expect to be jealous of his own son.
★★★
That night, Sehun just got back from 3 hours meeting at work. When he has just got back home, all he wants to do is go to his comfy bed and sleep in Joonmyun’s arms and kiss him all over the face.
So, he goes straight to their room and changes his clothes. Joonmyun steps out of the bathroom when Sehun just finished putting a much more comfortable shirt on himself. The older of the two greets him with a hug and a peck on his lips, washing away the tension on Sehun’s body.
He is almost fully relax when Joonmyun starts, “Baby, I’ve decided to sleep in Kyungsoo’s room tonight.” he says, gently massaging Sehun’s shoulders, obviously not noticing how the latter’s expression has turned grim.
“I also think of sleeping there for a couple days in a week.” he continues, smiling and making effort to catch Sehun’s eyes but the latter prefers staring stiffly at the corner of the room.
“Why are you doing this?” Sehun decides to ask in a cynical tone. “Because.. I’m sure he’ll be more accustomed, I’m sure he also wants to experience how it feels like to sleep in his parents’ arms just like any other kids.” Joonmyun explains, face glowing, obviously not aware of Sehun’s disagreement.
“You’re not a kid anymore, so you’ll be okay sleeping alone. Right?” Joonmyun grins, while Sehun remains silent, expressionless.
He still remains silent when Joonmyun walks out of their room.

“Kyungsoo, are you okay?” he asks, squatting down and Kyungsoo stares at his new parents worried eyes. The couple gets a nod from him.
Joonmyun smiles a few moments later before he gives his son a warm hug. “Now let’s take you to the bedroom that we’ve prepared for you!” he says, voice full with enthusiasm and pulls Kyungsoo with him, the three of them go up to the second floor.
They walk down the small corridor and stops in between two opposite doors. Sehun opens the door in the right side and walks in the room, followed by Joonmyun who blurts out, “Ta-da~~,” right when they step in the medium-sized room. The room is painted in light blue, and it has a bed in the corner next to the window. There’s a closet located a few steps away from the bed, a bathroom is in the opposite corner, and a carpet is placed nicely in the middle of the room.
Sehun and Joonmyun look down at Kyungsoo to see his response and they’re relieved to see their son’s eyes twinkling in joyful. “Looks like he likes it.” Sehun whispers into Joonmyun’s ear as he embraces Joonmyun’s small waist. The older stares up at his lover and nods before he flashes him a gentle smile.
“Do you like it, Kyungsoo?” Joonmyun asks, and he gets an anxious nod from the boy whose eyes can’t seemingly stop staring at his new room. His big eyes emit the happiness he’s currently feeling, and it makes Joonmyun wants to kiss his him so badly.
After spending time arranging Kyungsoo’s belongings in the room, the couple leaves him so he can rest and get some sleep. They walk out of the room and get in their own room which is located in the opposite of Kyungsoo’s room.
Joonmyun breathes out heavily and sits on their king-sized bed. Sehun, seeing the unreadable expression on his face, approaches him after he quickly changes into more casual clothes. He pecks the older’s lips, distracting his thoughts.
“What are you thinking about?” Sehun asks as he sits next to him, taking his smaller hand in his.
Joonmyun glances up at him and smiles sadly, “I’m just thinking about Kyungsoo. I feel so sad that he had an unhappy childhood.”
The younger then nods gently and says, “I can’t believe anyone would treat their own child like that, then threw him to an orphanage.” he tightens his grip on Joonmyun’s hand.
Joonmyun rests his head on Sehun’s shoulder, “I want to erase those bad memories off his mind.” he says, “But I doubt I can do that.”
Sehun kisses his head softly and smiles, “I’m sure you can. We can. We’ll be the best Parents for him.” Sehun says firmly. Joonmyun has a wide smile at the corner of his lips as he wraps his hands around Sehun’s waist.
After a few minutes of cuddling, kissing, and whispering ‘I love yous into each others’ lobes, Joonmyun gets off the bed to prepare the dinner.
Before he walks to the stairs, he opens the door to Kyungsoo’s room carefully just to check on him, and he finds the boy sleeping soundly on his new bed, an open comic lying on his side.
Joonmyun steps closer, smiling softly as he watches his son’s innocent sleeping face. He strokes his smooth hair and kisses him on the cheek carefully before he walks out of the room.
★★★
They enroll Kyungsoo to a kindergarten which is recommended by Wufan and Baekhyun, their neighbors. Somehow, Baekhyun has found out about them adopting a kid without even Joonmyun or Sehun informed him in the first place. But it’s not surprising anymore, since Baekhyun is known as the gossip queen among them.
“Your son won’t feel lonely at school!” Baekhyun assured him when they were talking on the phone earlier. Apparently, their sons, Yixing, Chanyeol, and Zitao, also go to the same kindergarten, same goes to Xiumin and Luhan’s twins, Jongin and Jongdae.
Joonmyun’s morning routine is becoming increasingly busy with preparing Sehun’s work suit -he always wakes up late because he wouldn’t stop cuddling Joonmyun and the older has to think of some tricky ways to get out of his arms- so he has no time to choose on his own. And then, Joonmyun has to take care of Kyungsoo’s uniform and makes breakfast for the three of them.
Fortunately, he is a novelist, so it doesn’t really demand him to wake up in the early morning in every weekdays, in fact he tends to always be home. He’ll only go to the office to finalize his novel or because there are other specific reasons, which is rare.
Though he’s busy, it feels nice because it has always been his dream to have a complete family. He’s also glad that Kyungsoo has started to open up to them, especially to him. He also has started to call him appa, and call Sehun dad. Those little things manage to make his heart swell and flutter in blissful.
Joonmyun pours the kimchi fried rice he just cooked onto the three plates on the table and yells, “Breakfast’s ready!” and a few minutes later, loud footsteps coming down the stairs can be heard and Sehun appears in the kitchen, followed by little Kyungsoo trailing behind.
Joonmyun sits him next to himself while Sehun takes a sit across of them and has started eating without even bothering to wait for them. Joonmyun rolls his eyes. Kyungsoo looks hesitant to eat, and as Joonmyun notices it, he strokes the boy’s head, “Let’s eat,”.
Kyungsoo smiles before he starts scooping the rice. He nods bashfully while chewing gently when Joonmyun asks him if the food is okay.
“Your cooking has always been the best.” Sehun exclaims all of a sudden before he smiles, his gaze fixed on Joonmyun making the older guy’s cheeks turn bright red.
After they’re done with breakfast, Joonmyun prepares bento for Kyungsoo before he puts it in his Naruto bag. Kyungsoo will be escorted to the school by Sehun before proceeding to his office.
Joonmyun escorts them to the front door, then he kisses Kyungsoo’s cheeks, making him blush and Joonmyun laughs. “Congratulations on your first day of school! Take care, okay?” he says gently.
“So I’m not getting a morning kiss?” Sehun wails and pouts, and suddenly it feels like Joonmyun is taking care of two kids. He rolls his eyes playfully before he tip-toes and pecks his lips. “Take care you too, and drive carefully.” Sehun smiles in satisfaction before he nods happily.
Joonmyun waits until finally their car disappears in view. He heaves a sigh before his lips tug upwards in a smile because the morning feels too perfect and the sun shines so brightly.
★★★
Oh-Kim family’s everyday life goes on as usual, only now there’s this integrity that they couldn’t feel before Kyungsoo came to their life. Every day, after Kyungsoo is back from school, Joonmyun will accompany him watching his favorite cartoons, or he’ll take him out to buy ice cream or bubble tea.
Sometimes, Jongin, Jongdae, Yixing, Chanyeol, and Zitao will come over to play with Kyungsoo, and while they’re playing, Joonmyun will prepare cookies and milk for them. Sometimes, it’s Kyungsoo who’ll visit and play at their houses.
In one afternoon, after Joonmyun picks Kyungsoo up from school, the boy becomes abnormally quiet in the car until they reach home. Kyungsoo isn’t a fussy kid, but usually he’ll talk about things that happened at the school every time Joonmyun picks him up.
What’s odd even more is the bright pink on his cheeks and he keeps touching his lips. Joonmyun who becomes curious and worried at the same time, decides to ask him when they’re watching One Piece together in the living room.
“Did something happen at school?” he asks softly and smiles. Kyungsoo who doesn’t even look focus, stares up at Joonmyun with his adorable eyes.
“You have to tell me if there is someone disturbing you at school,” Joonmyun is getting more anxious at the thought of someone disrupting his lovely son. Fortunately, Kyungsoo shakes his head, and Joonmyun sighs in relief.
However, it only makes him feel more curious. He lifts up Kyungsoo’s small body and settles him on his lap before he stares at him chiefly.
“Then what happened?” he asks, hands gripping faintly on the boy's small waist.
Kyungsoo gazes up at him doubtfully as the pink colors on his cheeks are getting brighter. “I got kissed.” His voice is so small and sounds hesitant.
Joonmyun gasps softly, his mouth hanging agape. He didn’t expect that at all. “You got kissed? Where?”
The colors on Kyungsoo’s cheeks are still there and now he’s playing with the buttons of Joonmyun’s shirt. “Lips. Jongin kissed me.” He reveals shyly.
Joonmyun’s lips form an O-shape before he giggles watching Kyungsoo’s expression, he looks so cute puffing his cheeks and Joonmyun can’t hold the urge to kiss his lips. He’s planning to tell Sehun, Luhan, and Minseok about this later.
★★★
“You have to know something.” Joonmyun says eagerly later at night as he crawls into their bed. He then positions himself next to Sehun who is leaning back against the headboard, playing a game on his iPad.
“What?” Sehun asks without taking his eyes off his iPad’s screen. Joonmyun chuckles lightly before he leans half of his weight to the younger’s chest and Sehun’s hand find its way into Joonmyun’s waist before he rests his chin on the top of the older’s head.
“Jongin kissed Kyungsoo today!” Joonmyun says as he giggles loudly. “What??” Sehun extends his hand to the side to put down his iPad on the small table next to their bed.
“Kyungsoo said it himself. He was blushing hard when he told me shyly. He looked so cute!” Joonmyun squeals and clasps his hands while Sehun smiles, wide. “That’s so cute”
“I don’t blame Jongin though, our son is too cute and he is a really kind boy. Who wouldn’t fall in love with him?” Joonmyun adds, proudly and Sehun chuckles softly.
“Oh! I also found out today that blue is Kyungsoo’s favorite color, basically the same with me. We really do have many similarities.” he continues, seemingly won’t stop talking about Kyungsoo.
Sehun is delighted listening to Joonmyun talking happily and getting excited but his eyelids are heavy because of exhaustion while Joonmyun doesn’t even notice it. But he can tolerate because the older just simply looks too happy and he loves it when his lover is happy and smiling.
“Babe, I seriously feel so sleepy.” Sehun says as he yawns and Joonmyun pouts, but obeys him in the end. Sehun collapses his body on the comfy beds, followed by Joonmyun who immediately curls up into his chest before Sehun protectively puts his arm around Joonmyun’s waist just as usual.
★★★
Sehun loves his family. He loves Joonmyun and Kyungsoo. He is genuinely happy watching Joonmyun interacts with Kyungsoo. He is happy to see how Joonmyun’s eyes sparkle when he’s watching Kyungsoo on the couch, watching his favorite cartoon while hugging his pororo plushie. He is happy to find the affections radiating from Joonmyun’s eyes when Kyungsoo calls him appa, when Kyungsoo hugs him, when Kyungsoo laughs. He melts when he sees them cuddling each other while watching TV until Kyungsoo falls asleep on Joonmyun’s arms.
What he didn’t expect is how those things have been increasingly bothering him. He didn’t expect he has to swallow through the tightness in the back of his throat when he’s back from work and gets no usual welcome kiss from Joonmyun by reason of not having the heart to wake Kyungsoo up who’s sleeping on his lap.
He didn’t expect to be fed up because all Joonmyun ever talk about is Kyungsoo, Kyungsoo, and Kyungsoo. He didn’t expect to feel empty inside realizing the gleaming of love on Joonmyun’s eyes is no longer addressed to him but only to Kyungsoo.
He didn’t expect to be jealous of his own son.
★★★
That night, Sehun just got back from 3 hours meeting at work. When he has just got back home, all he wants to do is go to his comfy bed and sleep in Joonmyun’s arms and kiss him all over the face.
So, he goes straight to their room and changes his clothes. Joonmyun steps out of the bathroom when Sehun just finished putting a much more comfortable shirt on himself. The older of the two greets him with a hug and a peck on his lips, washing away the tension on Sehun’s body.
He is almost fully relax when Joonmyun starts, “Baby, I’ve decided to sleep in Kyungsoo’s room tonight.” he says, gently massaging Sehun’s shoulders, obviously not noticing how the latter’s expression has turned grim.
“I also think of sleeping there for a couple days in a week.” he continues, smiling and making effort to catch Sehun’s eyes but the latter prefers staring stiffly at the corner of the room.
“Why are you doing this?” Sehun decides to ask in a cynical tone. “Because.. I’m sure he’ll be more accustomed, I’m sure he also wants to experience how it feels like to sleep in his parents’ arms just like any other kids.” Joonmyun explains, face glowing, obviously not aware of Sehun’s disagreement.
“You’re not a kid anymore, so you’ll be okay sleeping alone. Right?” Joonmyun grins, while Sehun remains silent, expressionless.
He still remains silent when Joonmyun walks out of their room.
