Flowers for you [SeungJin]

Chapter 43

The next morning they had soft giggly sex on the ondol floor (which sounded like an adult movie). Having heated flooring gave Hyunjin enough courage to do it on the very clean floor in various positions without being afraid of getting cold feet. It was pretty vanilla for them but Seungmin only had an hour and that needed to include breakfast with his family because the chat the evening before had been too short.

Hyunjin felt like he was in unicorn land all the time now. All shiny stars and rainbows and clouds. He knew it was the honeymoon phase but if they worked hard they could maintain at least a patch of that generous grazing land as they throttled about their relationship.

He was Kim Seungmin's boyfriend. Kim Seungmin was HIS boyfriend.

He really did start to throttle and skip but thankfully he was going downstairs not upstairs (he probably would not raise his legs enough and stumble).

"What's up with him?" Miya asked her parents, concerned. The others just stared at him smiling like a fool and was that...a twirl in their landing? Was he practicing for a musical?

Mr. Kim looked at the mushrooms. Where they to blame? Just in case he place them where Miya couldn't reach. Or the dog. The last thing that household needed was a houseful of trippy creatures.

"Is he singing in the shower?" Ms. Kim asked a bit later.

"At least he sings well. He should sing more" Miya commented while chewing her food.

"Is he singing their own song? What is that song called 자기야?" Mr. Kim asked.

"I can't remember. It's the one they performed at MAMA last year." She replied.

"Victory Song!" Miya said.

The family continued to observe the other's strange – even for Hyunjin – behaviour.

"Should we be concerned?" Ms. Kim asked after Hyunjin came skipping down the stairs and offered to bake four cakes 'to celebrate not-wasted-years' whatever that meant. No one complained because they would get a cake each.

Mr. Kim shrugged "He seems happy. Maybe he finally figured something out. He's been brooding too much, it was like having a chicken in the house only with no eggs" he laughed at his own jokes and the others cracked a smile but hid it. They shouldn't encourage his lame dad jokes.

"Maybe brother has something to do with it" Miya proposed.

"How so?" her mother asked.

"Well he said they're not dating but..."

"Ah you noticed too? We raised such an intelligent girl" her father cooed.

"Excuse me?" Hyunjin's undignified voice said.

The others just stared at him. Had he heard?

Apparently not "What do you mean you raised? We co-raised her! Seungminnie and me helped A LOT these past few years."

Right, seems like Hyunjin simply wanted to be acknowledged for his hard work in raising her recently. They nodded and agreed since really it was a joint effort at this point although of course they had done the majority of the work. Small efforts really helped with children.

Hyunjin was excited. He danced his excitement – not away it stayed – and what resulted was a beautiful performance which he thankfully had filmed (since there were still no mirrors in the basement) and sent it to his group mates, immediately getting praise. They could see his emotions though not why.

Jisung of course texted him if the sexcation was that good.

Hyunjin sent him a droplets emoji and a tongue.
