"No," Kris answers honestly. Joonmyun scoffs at his response, knocks at the door, and leans against Kris while waiting. Kris welcomes the action, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. Joonmyun had nearly taken a spill on the way to their car, but had outright refused to take off her killer shoes. Kris has had a cautious arm on the small of her back, shoulder, or waist since then.
The door is thrown open. "Joon!"
"Jino!" Joonmyun cries, throwing her arms around her youngest brother Jino, only a year younger than herself. The boy regards Kris with a restrained smile and welcomes them both inside.
"Dad's still finishing up dinner. But the table's set if you want to go sit."
Joonmyun nods and intwines her hand with Kris'. "How's college, kiddo?"
Jino whines, "I'm not a kid! And college is fine, you ask me about it every time we talk. I thought we'd have a change of subject if we finally met in person."
Joonmyun raises her eyebrows and shoots an amused look at Kris. "So, is everyone here?"
Jino nods. "Oh, and Kyuhyun brought his roommate. Some Chinese guy. He seems nice, I guess?" He stops talking as soon as they enter the dining room.
Kris has been to Joonmyun's house twice. The first for his first meeting with Joonmyun's father and the second for their annual Christmas dinner. It was only the second time that he met Joonmyun's brothers and he hopes that this time there is less glaring. And that no one pours gravy on him.
Kyuhyun is on his feet and running over as soon as Joonmyun is in sight. He picks his younger sister right off the floor and swings her in a circle, forcing Kris back.
And then Jonghyun comes running from the kitchen and joins the hug, ignoring Kyuhyun's protests. Jino sighs and takes his seat at the table, near the end.
Kris thinks about going into the kitchen to offer to help but stops when he sees that all the glasses are already filled and a dozen covered dishes litter the table. He takes a seat beside Jino, by far the least threatening of the Kim brothers.
Joonmyun's father makes his appearance just after she's been introduced to Kyuhyun's roommate, a constantly smiling man named Zhou Mi. With almost a too-friendly grin, he tells Joonmyun to call him, "Mimi." She laughs. Kris prickles.
Kangin pulls his daughter into a bear hug, kissing the crown of her head and telling her how much he's missed her. Kris remembers when the man had looked him in the eye and told him that he was the heavyweight champion in college.
Then he takes his seat at the head of the table and Joonmyun skips over to Kris, positively radiant. She holds his hand beneath the table and whispers which food he should try, oblivious to the glares of her brothers.
Dinner is a quiet affair, a flurry of eating, mumbled thanks, and the metallic symphony of silver utensils on the late Mrs. Kim's fine china.
They retreat to the living room after dessert, and Jino is charged with clearing the table.
Kris, battle ready, is seated right next to Joonmyun on the love seat. Jonghyun, Kyuhyun and Zhou Mi share the couch, and Mr. Kim sits poised in a large chair.
When Jino finally enters, Joonmyun jumps up mid-sentence, hand over her mouth. "I almost forgot," she starts and Kris can feel the dread eating away at his stomach, "I had something in my room I wanted to get last time, but completely forgot. I'll be right back!"
Kris begs her not to go with his eyes but alas, they have not perfected the art of telepathy yet and all he gets is a chaste peck on the cheek before Joon is scampering up the stairs, leaving complete silence in her absence.
Kris stares at his fingers and when it becomes apparent that Joonmyun isn't coming back anytime soon, he figures now is a good enough time as any. He's been putting this off for too long, anyway. He breaks the silence with a cough and can feel five sets of eyes on him. "I have a question to ask."
Reply
"Not now, Kyuhyun," Joonmyun's father warns, words carefully picked and expression just as unreadable as it had been when Joonmyun had introduced Kris as her boyfriend. "What is it?"
"I want to marry your daughter." When he sees Jonghyun's devastated face he quickly adds, " I haven't said anything to her yet. I wanted to ask you first. All of you."
"Absolutely not!" Kyuhyun shouts, jumping to his feet, "you've been together for what, a month? And now you want to marry her? How do you know this isn't just some passing-"
"Wait," Jino interrupts, eyes narrowed. "Is Joon pregnant?" Zhou Mi gasps like he's watching a particularly interesting soap opera and Kris frowns.
"What? I-no. This isn't-no," he sighs, ignoring Kyuhyun's murderous glare and Jonghyun's confused stare. "Joonmyun and I have been together for three years. We live together and I love her very much."
"The ring," Jonghyun murmurs, "what does it look like?"
Kyuhyun groans, "he hasn't got one ye-"
Kris pulls up a picture on his phone and shows it to the five. Jino jumps over to grab it and whistles.
"Jesus," he breathes and Zhou Mi agrees with a quiet gasp, "how much did this cost?"
Kr"It really doesn't matter." He picks his head up and locks eyes with the older man. "Mr. Kim-"
"Don't call me that," Kangin interrupts, dragging a hand over his face. He sounds absolutely exhausted and Kris shrinks back, wringing his hands. The middle-aged man sighs. "Call me Dad."
Kris' head snaps up. He opens his mouth but then Joonmyun is running down the stairs, exclaiming excitedly, "I found it!"
She shows the glittering piece of jewelry to all the men gathered in the room before rejoining Kris, pulling up her long chestnut curls so that Kris can secure the clasp. She fixes her hair and turns to face him, smile blinding. "Do you like it?" It's very simple, a short silver chain bearing a small pearl that rests in the dip of her neck. And of course, it looks perfect on her.
"You look gorgeous," Kris states and the others agree distractedly.
Joonmyun frowns, zeroing in on Jino who has yet to actually look up. She moved over so that she's right in front of him, trying to get a look at the screen. "What are you looking at?"
Jino jumps, locks the screen, and launches the phone at Kris who catches it and pockets the device. It's all over in mere seconds and Joonmyun blinks, crossing her arms. "Something's going on."
Kris laughs, enveloping her in his arms and kissing her placatingly, "nothing's going on." He meets gazes with Kangin and the older man nods.
"Don't you have work tomorrow, Joonie?" The older man asks, staring at the clock.
Joonmyun sighs from Kris' arms. "Well yes. But I practically just got here! I can't leave so early."
Kangin laughs and opens his arms, waiting until Kris lets his daughter go so that he can pull her to his chest and press his face into her hair. "I need to make sure that you get home safely. That's my job," he chuckles when he pulls back and sees her pout. "Besides, I think you'll be coming back very soon."
"Wha-"
"Alright!" Kris shouts with an air of finality and a withering glare directed at a grinning Kangin, "we're gonna go now. It's been lovely seeing you all," he finishes with a bow and waits for Joonmyun to give away all her hugs before dragging her out the door.
When they're gone, Zhou Mi grins, elbowing Kyuhyun. "I don't know what you were talking about," he chides lightly, "I liked him."
"I told you," Jino says, expression smug, "I knew it was going to be him. I knew it."
"Yeah, yeah," Kyuhyun sneers, rolling his eyes. "He's okay, I guess."
"Our Joonie know how to pick them," Jonghyun states, smiling. "I don't think she could have found anyone better." Kyuhyun scoffs. "What do you think, Dad?"
Kangin settles into his chair and smiles warmly at a picture decades old, a younger him and a woman that looks exactly like Joonmyun covered in white, both too lost in each other to notice the camera. He closes his eyes and the picture is different; Joonmyun in white and that blond kid at her side. He grins. "I think he's just fine."
