The Meaning of Family: The Collections

Bonding Time with Namjoon (5/5)

"D-did y-you see-see that?!" Taehyung exclaimed excitedly as the family made their way to the van after his soccer game ended. "I sc-scored the w-w-winning goal!"

"I saw it, Tae!" Namjoon responded with the same amount of enthusiasm. "I was cheering the loudest when it happened!"

"No, I was!" Jimin insisted, which then started a small argument between Taehyung's four siblings as they all climbed into the van.

Once they were on the road, Yoongi asked, "Where are we going for lunch?"

Namjoon glanced at Yoongi in the rearview mirror before answering. "I know that we usually go out for lunch after Taehyung's games, but since your dad is coming home today-" Namjoon paused as the five boys cheered, "-we're just going to have sandwiches at home so that we have enough time to clean the house up before we go pick him up from the airport." While Namjoon kept the boys clean, well fed, and got them to all of their activities on time, he had definitely been slacking on the housekeeping for the week. He didn't want his husband to come home to a messy house, so he'd already planned to spend the afternoon cleaning and wouldn't think about stopping until either the house was spotless or he would have to leave to get Jin.

"Nutella sandwich?" Jungkook asked. The six-year-old had become somewhat addicted to the sugary spread recently and the parents had been trying to limit his intake. However, since Namjoon deemed it a special occasion with Jin coming home, he told Jungkook that he could have a Nutella sandwich for lunch.

After their quick lunch, Namjoon immediately sent the boys off to clean their rooms while he got to work cleaning the living room, by far the worst room in the house. Yoongi and Hoseok's room was always kept fairly clean, as the younger of the two was very particular about the state of their room. Because of this, they only had to straighten up their desks and take some dirty clothes to the laundry room before Namjoon assigned Yoongi to trash duty and Hoseok to bathroom duty. Surprisingly, the house was put back together with plenty of time to spare before they had to leave for Little Rock. Namjoon spent that time doing as many loads of laundry as he could manage.

When they got to the airport, Namjoon went to the Starbucks stand at the bottom of the escalator that both took Jin away and would bring him back to get himself and the boys some drinks and snacks before sitting at an empty table. While the five boys chattered about everything they were going to do the second their dad was back, Namjoon's eyes were trained on the escalator so he would be able to see the second Jin arrived. Time seemed to pass extremely slowly, but eventually Jin's figure came into Namjoon's line of sight and the 27-year-old didn't waste any time turning to his five sons. "Look who's home~"

Five heads whipped around to look at the escalator and it wasn't even a second later that they were jumping out of their chairs and running towards their dad. Jin was smiling brightly by the time he got to the bottom and he rushed towards them too, letting go of his suitcase and spreading his arms as soon as he was close enough. "My babies!" He squeezed all five of them, ignoring the strange stares he was getting, for as long as he could before suddenly remembering the man standing on the edge of the group hug. He released his sons and reached his arms towards his husband. "And my baby~" Namjoon smiled widely before pressing his lips to Jin's, his arms going around the older male's waist.

The boys giggled at the display, a few 'ew's coming from the youngest until the couple pulled apart. "I missed you~" Namjoon whispered, pulling Jin into a hug.

"I missed you, too." Jin responded before stepping out of Namjoon's embrace, turning to look at the rest of his family. "I don't know about you guys, but I'm starving and ready to get home and cook dinner."

"Baby, you just got home, you don't need-"

Jin held his hand up to stop Namjoon. "These boys have not had real food since Monday morning when we had pasta for dinner. I am cooking tonight." He smiled back at the boys, wrapping one arm around Yoongi and the other around Jimin as Namjoon had already grabbed his suitcase for him. "I'm feeling roast chicken, so who's up for a grocery store trip?"

They went to Kroger as soon as they were back in Conway, only grabbing the necessities for dinner that night before going home. Cooking became a family activity as the boys proved their parents' assumptions about them not wanting to leave Jin alone for even a second now that he was back home.

However, Jin and Namjoon had different plans. After they finished eating dinner and put all of the dishes in the dishwasher, Jin explained to the boys that he was very tired after his trip and that while he would love to spend more time with them, he needed some rest. The family agreed to an hour-long foot off the floor time for Jin to recharge, which in a normal family would give the two of them more than enough time for what they actually wanted to do, but this wasn't a normal family.

Namjoon laughed quietly as he landed on the bed. The door had only been locked for a second when Jin decided to push him onto their bed and climb on top of him. "You're not wasting any time~" He teased as he sat up slightly, Jin working to unbutton his jeans.

"Because I know our sons." Jin said after popping the button, leaning forward afterwards so his chest was completely pressed against Namjoon's. Namjoon immediately started to run his hands up the older male's back, pushing up his navy-blue sweater as he went. "We have about 30 minutes at the most before Jungkook will be coming in here wanting to 'rest' with us." Jin didn't wait for a response before pressing his lips to his husband's.

Namjoon pulled away long enough to mutter 'very true' against Jin's plump lips before kissing him again. He rolled them over so he was on top, settling in between his husband's legs without breaking the kiss. Jin tugged at the hem of his shirt, wanting to pull it off. Just after the shirt was over his head, someone knocked on their door.

They both held back a sigh as Namjoon climbed off of Jin, putting his shirt back on and buttoning his pants back up as Jin went to unlock the door. As predicted, the youngest member of the family entered the room, but he wasn't alone. One by one, all five of the boys filed into the room and situated themselves on their parents' bed. "I guess we're having a cuddle party." Jin said, flopping onto the bed and pulling whichever bodies he could reach closer to himself while the giggles filled the room.

"Sounds like the perfect end to the day." Namjoon commented as he joined his family on the bed, pulling Jimin into his lap and snuggling as close to the rest of his family as he could.
