~The Next Day || 10:03~

You sigh in relief, smiling as the bliss rocks away from your body. You grip at his shoulder blades, loving the feeling of his body being on top of yours. "Good morning, baby," he whispers with a cute little smile, kissing your chin.

"Good morning, Mochi," you whisper back as he pulls out of you, wrapping his arms around your bare skin. Nothing beats morning sex. The best thing about it is it's never kinky. He's not whispering dirty things into your ear, he's not pounding into you, he's not trying new positions or using toys. Hell, you're not even calling him daddy. It's just making love.

Not that you dislike the kinky stuff. Well shit, you love the kinky stuff, maybe more than he does, but you'll never say no to passionate loving. "Mmm, I love you, baby," he says, nuzzling his nose against your neck. You laugh, wrapping your arms around him.

"I love you too, Mochi."

He softly hums, kissing your skin. "Can we stay in today?"

"Of course, whatever you want to do."

Before either of you can move, you hear soft footsteps. Almost immediately another weight is added to the bed, and you laugh as Baby licks the back of Jimin's head. He chuckles, rolling to the side and bringing the small pup up onto his chest. "Who's a good girl?"

"Wait until she pees on you, then ask her that," you say with an amused expression. He smiles, shaking his head as he pets the dog.

"This was the best decision we've ever made."

"You say that now, but wait until we start cleaning up the dog poop."

"Ew," he says, scrunching up his nose in disgust.

"Exactly," you reply with a giggle, sitting up.

"At least she didn't interrupt our morning sex," he says, and you hum.

"Agreed, that would have been bad." You turn your attention to the dog. "Baby?" She peeks at you. "Good girl! You already know your name!" you say in a squeal, petting her aggressively.

"Did you buy those training treats yesterday?"

You hum. "I got more than I probably should have, that's what I was working on with her last night. Her name, I think she has it down."

"Well, Border Collie's are supposed to be the smartest dogs on Earth, right?" You nod, still petting Baby as she lays on Jimin's bare chest. "Is she going to get more attention than me?" Jimin asks, bewildered.

You snicker. "Maybe."

He leans over and gives you a peck on the lips. "You sure?" he asks with a pout, holding Baby against his chest. You crawl over, resting your head on his shoulder. Your body is curled up next to him while Baby's body is on his chest. "Baby?" he asks in a whine, causing both you and the puppy to look up.

"Who are you talking to?" you ask.

"My baby," he murmurs, kissing the top of your head.

You giggle once again. "What's up, Mochi?"

"I want a kiss," he says with a pout. You look into his eyes, leaning up and kissing him softly. He brings one hand up to cup your cheek, brushing over your skin and deepening the kiss. You rub your lips over his, not caring about how rough the morning naturally makes your kisses. He doesn't care either, he forms a small pattern. You follow it, closing your eyes and humming in approval.

You keep kissing him for another full minute, Baby curled up on his chest and keeping her eyes peacefully closed. You snort, pulling back and glancing at the puppy. "She's so cute," you mutter, nuzzling your head against his shoulder again.

"My two girls," Jimin whispers, keeping one arm wrapped around you and one of his hands on Baby's head. The good news about Baby being a puppy is Jimin's hands look somewhat normal when he's petting her. Maybe even big.

"Do you want to get breakfast?"

You give his neck a kiss. "Five more minutes," you murmur, causing him to chuckle. He kisses your temple, resting his cheek against the top of your head. For the next five minutes, the three of you stay on the bed, cuddling and all nice and warm. But those five minutes tick by fast. Eventually you feel him shift, then, his stomach growls. "Is my Mochi hungry?" you ask, peeking up at him. He pouts, nodding. God, he's the cutest thing, isn't he? "Let's go then. Get changed you big baby." He snickers, holding Baby close and sitting up. He keeps her held up against his chest, standing. "Ew, put your dick away first."

He smirks. "What, you don't like what you see?"

"We have a literal child in the room."

Jimin huffs. "But I'm comfortable."

"But we have a child in the room." He eventually smiles and gives in, gently placing Baby on the bed and grabbing his clothes from off the floor.

You grab his hoodie, your panties, and some shorts and go into the bathroom. It only takes you three minutes to do your business and get out. You hum to yourself, walking over while brushing your hair. Jimin is fully dressed, playing with Baby. The puppy is running around the room, Jimin playfully chasing her. Baby has a lot of energy, that's for sure. Yesterday she was nonstop. It was cute but got frustrating after a while. But you and Jimin both agreed that it's okay since puppies have a lot of energy. It's normal; you knew what you were getting in to, no point in complaining.

You finish brushing your hair, placing your brush on your nightstand and glancing up. Jimin scoops Baby up, bringing her against his chest. The only bad thing about last night was Baby whined... a lot. She has separation anxiety already. Not that that's an issue though, once again, you knew what you were getting in to. You love Baby with all your heart already, like she's your own child. In a way, she is. You may not have birthed her, but she's like blood at this point. She's cute, that part definitely runs in the family.

You head over to Jimin, who's rocking the excited puppy back and forth in his arms. "I don't mean to be that person, but she probably has to pee."

Jimin gives you yet another pout. "Strict mom."

"Hey!" you say, making him chuckle.

He gives you a quick peck. "That's how it always is, right? Strict mom, cool dad."

"Mommies are very protective over their babies, what can we say?" you ask, making him shrug.

"Honestly, that's kind of hot. Shit, I'm gonna get another boner. If not from the protectiveness, then from you calling yourself a mommy-"

"Min!"

He giggles like a five year old, strutting out of the room and making you follow. You left the door open after finally having enough of Baby's whining, so you gave her access to the room. She loves to roam the house, but you still blocked off some areas. You have every door closed except for yours, so she can really only explore the living room, kitchen, and your bedroom. The best news about the kitchen is you haven't even bought cleaning supplies yet, so it works out. She can't get into anything that would hurt her.

You follow him, bouncing slightly as you go down the stairs. He still holds Baby against his chest, immediately going to the back door. "You want to go out with her, I'll get breakfast?" you say.

He turns around, approaching you and giving your lips a quick peck. "Sure babe, I don't care what you get as long as it's something you like." You softly smile. So cute.

You nod, then watch him smile like an idiot before strolling away. Your eyes follow his small form. He walks out, keeping the door open as he lets Baby go on the ground. Instead of feeling like a creep who stares at people when they don't realize it, you turn around and head back into the kitchen. You hum to yourself, opening the closest cupboard and knowing what to cook. Pancakes, one thing you'll always remember how to make.

You keep humming your soft tune, grabbing the necessary ingredients, then a mixing bowl, then a pan. You start the heat on your electric stove, giving it a chance to warm up as you move around the kitchen. You grab an egg from the fridge, practically doing a dance around the kitchen as you prepare the pancakes. The mixing bowl is filled with the essentials, so you grab your trusty whisk and stir away. It takes a couple minutes, but you think the batter is ready, so you grab a ladle and scoop up some of the mix.

You sigh in satisfaction as the batter spreads evenly over the pan, the heat making it sizzle. You smile, placing the ladle down to instead grab a spatula so you can monitor how golden brown the bottom side is. Before you can do anything else, you feel arms wrap around your sides, making your smile widen. He kisses your shoulder, rocking you back and forth gently.

"It already smells delicious, baby," he mutters, planting sloppy kisses on your neck.

You lean into his touch. "You didn't leave her outside, right?"

He chuckles, adding a few more kisses. "No, don't worry I'm somewhat responsible."

"Key word: somewhat." He playfully scoffs, looking up and meeting your eyes. His chin rests on your shoulder, his hands still on your hips. He pecks your lips, retreating back to your shoulder once he's done. You use your free hand to ruffle his blond hair, making him scrunch up his nose.

"I love you, baby," he says, and you chuckle.

"You said that earlier." He holds you tighter as you turn your attention back to the pan.

"Mmm, so I'm saying it again. I love you, baby." You flip the pancake once you're satisfied with the golden brown color, then you peek back at him.

"Kiss me," you say, and he does. He kisses your lips as Baby sits next to you, panting and looking up at you curiously. After appreciating his lips for a few more seconds, you pull away. "I love you too," you whisper, meeting his eyes. You feel something go off inside your chest. It's more intense than even a spark or firework. You've felt it before around him, but this is even more intense than when it's happened before. Your eyes widen, and so do his. "You felt that too?" you ask, and he nods. He kisses your cheek, going back to just resting his chin on your shoulder.

"Baby?" he asks, and you motion for him to continue, also getting the attention of the dog. "We're soulmates, you know that, right?" You go still for a moment, then kiss his forehead.

"I know," you say, smiling like an idiot. You finish the first pancake, placing it on his plate, then you use the ladle to add more batter. He closes his eyes, his soft breath hitting your skin. "Can you check her water, Mochi?" you ask. Jimin takes a moment, then nods. He kisses your neck again.

"Okay, then I'm coming right back to you," he mumbles before pulling away.

You instantly miss his touch, your body going cold. You flip the pancake regardless, sighing to yourself. Two each, that's how much you made enough for. You watch as Baby trots with him to her water bowl. He picks up the bowl, noticing there's only a quarter left. He hums to himself, dumping it out in the sink before skipping over to the fridge.

"Uh babe, what are you doing?" you ask.

He presses on the water dispenser, the liquid pouring out slowly into her bowl. "Giving her water, duh," he replies with a cheeky grin. You smile, shaking your head.

"We have a sink."

"She deserves filtered water," Jimin says with a pout.

You playfully roll your eyes, but you mentally agree. "You do whatever you want, babe." He snickers, turning his attention back to the water as you take the pancake out and stack it. Again, another scoop of pancake batter.

He finishes the bowl, placing it down for her, and she gets to work on it. Luckily the two of you were smart (mostly you since you did the dog shopping) and got a mat to place under her bowls. So, when her rapid licking has the water splashing everywhere, it only lands on the mat and not the floor.

Jimin comes back over to you, reclaiming his spot and watching as you flip the pancake. He snuggles his head up against your shoulder, his nose hitting your neck. "You're so sexy," he murmurs, wrapping his arms around your stomach.

"Baaabe," you say, laughing as he kisses your neck.

"So beautiful. My beautiful girl," he adds, closing his eyes and breathing in your scent. You don't question it, you simply accept it while you place the pancake on your plate, adding the last batch of batter onto the pan.

Baby finishes drinking her water, approaching the two of you. Her tiny tail wags, making you giggle. Her tail isn't curled up yet, but you know that will take time. It limply hangs between her legs. You smile at her cute form.

"Does she need food?" he asks.

"Hmm, yeah. We should stick to the three times a day schedule the adoption center had. Don't want to whiplash her too much. After six months we can make it two times with bigger portions don't you think?"

He nods, rocking you back and forth again. "Mmm, my baby is so smart." You laugh as he kisses your face over and over again. He hits your jawline, your cheek, your nose, the corners of your lips: everything. "Do you want to eat on the balcony?"

"Are there chairs out there?" you ask.

"I think they left behind two beach chairs."

You kiss his nose. "Then lets do it, Mochi. Oh uh, let's not bring Baby with us." The puppy looks up, causing you and Jimin to look at her.

"Poor Baby," he snickers. Jimin kneels down as the pup stumbles her way over to him, whining and clearly wanting something. "What do you want, Baby?" he asks, giving her a small smile.

"Give her treats, but make her sit for them," you say, putting your last pancake on your plate.

"Yes ma'am," he cutely replies, saluting you. He reaches the top of the fridge, grabbing the bag of treats and bringing it down. You only bought two kinds of treats, but you'll have plenty of time to buy more. You and Jimin have a lot of shopping to do, after all. "Baby, sit," Jimin says, holding a small treat in his hand. You watch with amusement in your expression as the dog stares at him. He holds up his finger. "Sit." She takes a moment, licking her snout. "Siiit," he whines, keeping his finger up. You laugh, approaching his side and looking at her. You hold out your finger too. You read somewhere that hand signals and words help a dog train, you can't just do one or something like that.

"Sit, Baby."

She finally does. You and Jimin cheer. He gives her the treat and she happily eats it, making you smile. You hug him, and he hugs back, holding your body close. You nuzzle up against him, and he sighs. "We should get her actual food too," he murmurs.

"Hmm okay, you want to go set up on the balcony? You took her out, I'll get the food."

He pulls back only to give you a peck on the lips. "Okay baby," he replies, stepping away. You walk by, about to lean down for her bowl when he smacks your ass. You look back at him, and he shrugs. "If you're allowed to spank me whenever I walk past, I can do it too. Equality."

"You should spank me in bed too."

Jimin's flabbergasted face makes you smirk. "B-Baby, I-"

"Shh," you interrupt with a snicker, kneeling and grabbing Baby's food bowl. You stand, glancing at him with your cocky smirk still on your face. "See you on the balcony," you say with a wink.

And when you and him go on the balcony, it's a fun time to say the least.

~12:31~

Anya jumps in, the water coating her body and making her mind feel at ease. For the first time in weeks, she feels truly awake. Truly alive. She went out and bought a swimsuit just for this purpose. She bought four, actually, and Sapphire joined her. The girl isn't here right now, she's still in bed with Yoongi, but if she wanted to join, she could. Regardless of her thoughts, Anya swims forward, letting the warm water soak into her soft skin.

She breaks through to the surface, bringing in a large gulp of air and letting a smile grace her lips. Anya's been here for twenty minutes already, swimming around and pretending the world doesn't matter. It's in moments like these that she forgets all her pain and all her worries. She loves to swim, she always has. It's been the main thing growing up for her. She was very athletic as a kid. Track, volleyball, swim. She did it all, really.

She does a small lap around the indoor pool, the lights dim and no windows in sight. She's in her own world. The last thing she needs is music to make the space complete. But she's fine with this. Her thoughts provide enough noise for her to be satisfied. Part of her hopes someone comes to see her, but at the same time, she's also enjoying the peace and quiet. She'd like to encourage Yoongi and Sapphire to come down at some point.

The reason why is because she hasn't seen their relationship in action much. But she knows it's cute. Yoongi gets shy around her, Sapphire gets shy around him. It's a whole bunch of cuteness all around. She wishes she had a cute relationship like that. Anya halts at the thought of relationships, her body lurching at her sudden stop. She gasps, then fixes her position, now treading water and letting her thoughts overtake her.

Does she want a relationship again? Is she ready to get back on the saddle? After a long relationship, having only a little over two months to move on is difficult, to say the least. She's nervous to get back out there. What if she compares her lover to Alice? What if she starts to miss Alice a little too much? Anya sighs, swimming over to the edge and holding it. She knows exactly who she's thinking of whenever she thinks of a future relationship.

Jin.

Why does she care so much for him? Is it because he's the only one who understands her pain? Because he's actually kind of fun to be around? She can't stop her heartbeat when she's around him, but she can't dive right in. She glances around at the water and chuckles to herself. She cracks herself up sometimes; she didn't even mean to make a pun there, but oh well. Anya shrugs, inching down the ledge closer to the door.

She's about to get out when the door opens, and Jin steps inside, Seulgi behind him. Anya feels a spike of jealousy when she sees Seulgi and Jin laughing, but she forces it down. They stroll inside, Jin removing his shirt and peeking at Seulgi.

"Where's Hoseok?" he asks.

"He was too lazy, told me to go have fun."

"I'm the CEO of fun, remember I'm le'jin'dary."

"I hate you."

Anya snickers, which brings their attention to her. "Anya, hey!" Jin says, and she nods.

"Fancy meeting you two here."

Seulgi hums. "Fancy meeting you here, I didn't think anyone would be here this early."

Anya shrugs, pushing off and doing a slow backstroke while speaking to them. "This was my escape back when I was a kid. I guess you can say I missed it."

"I don't blame you," Seulgi replies, kneeling at the edge of the pool and letting her fingers hit the water. She feels the temperature, humming to herself. "It's nice," she says in approval, removing her hand and taking off her clothes. She's wearing a cute one-piece suit, making Anya softly smile.

"I like that suit, Seul. Where'd you get it?"

Seulgi snickers, going to the stairs and walking in. The water only comes up to her ankles, but she doesn't move to get in any further. "Hoseok actually bought it for me when he went out with the boys to stock up on all the good stuff. I'd say Hoseok has nice taste."

"Obviously," Anya instantly replies with a laugh, motioning to Seulgi herself.

Seulgi shows off her body. "Smart, no wonder why you're such a good scientist." Anya tries not to let her enhancements act up, but it's hard when she's constantly moving and she has Jin in the room. And not only that, he's shirtless. He has a nice build, that's for sure.

Anya flusters at her thoughts, making sure to keep herself turned towards Seulgi instead of the boy she's come to admire. "I'm jumping in!" Jin says.

"I hope you drown!" Seulgi calls back as the man prepares to run and jump.

"Rude!" Jin replies with a scoff, making Anya chuckle. She has a dumb smile on her face as she swims to the edge, giving Jin more room to jump.

"Let's see what you got, pretty boy," Anya teases.

"You think I'm pretty," Jin says, making Anya scowl.

"Don't make me take back my words."

"Okay okaaay."

This man is supposed to be the oldest out of all of them, yet he acts the most like a child. Well, not even a child. More like an excited, rebellious, narcissistic teen.

Jin plants his feet, then rushes forward. Seulgi watches with distress in her eyes as the man jumps, landing in the center of the pool. Both her and Anya are far enough away that they don't get splashed, but she can still feel the air Jin created.

He breaks through to the surface, shaking his head rapidly and rubbing his eyes as he treads. He peers over at Anya, who stares back. Damn. Okay, he's pretty attractive. She always knew that, but the wet hair only adds to the picture. She gulps, averting her eyes. He senses the affect he has on her and heads over to her. She keeps her eyes on literally anything else as he swims, coming into her vicinity.

He comes up next to her, leaning against the wall. Anya reluctantly looks at him. "What?" she asks, raising a brow.

"How would you rate my form?"

"One out of ten, you didn't do anything special, you just plopped."

"Jin always plops!" Seulgi says in a grunt, coming fully into the water and shivering at the contact. At Jin's glare, Seulgi huffs. "It's true and you know it!" Seul grumbles to herself, swimming down closer to them.

Anya shrugs. "I think so too."

"You too?!" Jin pouts, shaking his head. "Girls ganging up on me. I feel betrayed."

Seulgi comes closer, holding her hand out to Anya. Anya high fives her, smiling brightly. "Girl power. Sorry, but you'll never know that, Seokjin," Anya says.

"The full name again, ouch," Jin replies.

"Can't help it, your reaction makes me smile."

"Do I not make you smile in general?" Seulgi can sense where this is going and decides to awkwardly swim away, choosing to do laps around the area instead.

"Of course you do, but don't flatter yourself, it's because of how dumb you act." He comes closer, entering her personal space. She shivers, letting him in despite her original mental protest. Why does she want him so close? She gulps as his hands meet her hips, his legs moving underwater to keep him afloat. He brings his face close to hers, making her blush.

"If it's just because of that, then why are you blushing?"

She meets his eyes, the sounds of Seulgi's swimming fading into the background as she focuses on this moment with him. She feels her heart pumping at his body being so close. His cherry lips, messy hair, strong eyes, and broad shoulders. Anya likes him, and she knows that now. She doesn't back away, but she doesn't move closer either. She simply stays near him, feeling bad for Seulgi for having to put up with them.

He glances down at her lips, then meets her eyes. "I know you can't do this yet," he whispers, which makes her eyes jump.

"W-What? What do you mean?"

"Us. I know you can't do it yet."

"But I want us." The words slipped by her mouth before she could even process them, which seems to shock Jin.

"Then kiss me," he says. She stares at his lips, wanting to move closer, but she hesitates. "You don't have to explain to me, I know you have a lot on your mind. I'm willing to wait for you, Anya. I like you. I want to give us a try, but only if you want to." She stays quiet, still eyeing his lips. "Don't feel forced to do anything with me, I'll wait until you're ready. Just let me know." She meets his eyes, the words hitting her heart. Even in the good phases of her relationship with Alice, she never felt this way. She never had her heart get moved this much. So, without giving herself a chance to second guess her decision, she kisses him.

He lets out a muffled gasp as she shakes, barely staying afloat as her lips hit his. It's magical to say the least. Messy, sloppy, honestly a little gross due to the environment, but it's magical to her. Based on the way he kisses her back, he feels the same way. The kiss makes everything else drown out for her. She can practically hear Seulgi's surprise, but she's too in the moment to care. His lips are so big, big even for her. So smooth too despite the water coating him.

Jin doesn't pull away just yet; he wants to hang on a little longer. He doesn't really move his lips. They sit in the pool, their lips connected, their feelings finally out there. She's the first to pull back, gazing at him. They've been sharing a room, sure, but they take turns sleeping on the floor. It never got intimate or anything crazy, but after today, things might be different. Anya honestly hopes it's different.

They meet each other's eyes, not moving to kiss again, not talking. "What the hell just happened?" Seulgi asks, swimming over. Anya and Jin jump, looking at her. "Are you two finally together?" she asks, mouth wide open. Jin peeks at Anya, and she shrugs.

"I'm okay with it if you are."

"Are you sure?" he asks. He sounds concerned, but she can tell he's mentally squealing and delighted. So, she sweetly smiles.

"I am."

Seulgi groans. "Fuck."

"What?" Jin asks.

"I owe Sapphire money. She bet you guys would end up together in like two weeks. That was a little over a week ago."

Anya blinks. "Of course she made a bet on my love life. Of course she did."

In classic Seulgi fashion, she snickers. "Should I give you two some privacy?" Jin and Anya share a look.

"No we'll be okay," Anya answers, but Seulgi scoffs.

"Oh hell no, I'm not third wheeling. I'm leaving. Good luck, lovebirds."

Seulgi swims to the edge, hopping out of the pool and grabbing a towel from off the nearest rack. Anya gulps, trying to comprehend what the hell just happened as Seulgi walks out of the room, closing the door behind her. Anya peers over at Jin, slightly nervous, but his kind gaze makes her soften. "Hi," she whispers, making him smile.

"So, can I call you mine? Or, wait, let me rephrase that: will you be my girlfriend?" She stares at him for a moment, expecting to feel pain from Alice, but all she feels is love for him. That's it. She's finally done. She's over her. She's over the betrayal. Or not over really. More... ready. She's ready to move on. Anya has forgiven herself. Now, she can live.

"I'd like nothing more."

~14:41~

"This is the best day ever!"

Taehyung laughs, watching as Jungkook jumps around, smiling like a bunny and peeping at the opening below them. They're out for the day, about to do bungee jumping. Taehyung would be lying if he said he wasn't nervous. He may not be Jimin and terrified of heights, but this is still scary. Just because he's not terrified of heights doesn't mean he wants to willingly jump off a mountain.

They're standing on a bridge, where the jumping takes place. Jungkook, despite his excited mood, hasn't been overly extroverted. He's still clinging to Tae and gets shy whenever someone tries to talk to him. His enhancements are glowing, which concerns Tae and draws a lot of attention, but there's not much he can do about it. Tae's enhancements are softly glowing too, mostly because he's nervous. Down side to having enhancements: it becomes even harder to hide your emotions.

"Oh my God, is that who I think it is?" a female says from not too far away. Taehyung glances in the direction the loud voice came from, and he sees a group of girls strolling across the bridge. They're (of course) staring right at them, more particularly: Jungkook. It's kind of hard not too. He's big and muscular and his eyes and cheeks are glowing bright red. Tae knows he's hot, but next to Kook's glowing eyes? Yeah, no one's gonna notice him.

Taehyung doesn't get mad or jealous, he only stands in line, waiting for their turn. The closer they get, the more gear they're handed. Taehyung's so confused with what the hell is going on and how this works, but whenever it's explained to him, he's only more confused. Even Jungkook isn't sure how it works. The long haired boy is just along for the ride. Taehyung can respect that.

The girls giggle again, making Taehyung grit his teeth. Jungkook seems to pick up on it too seeing as he pokes his tongue against his cheek. Tae notices Jungkook does that whenever he's annoyed. Note to self: don't make Jungkook angry. Jungkook's incredibly hot in general, but when he's angry? That tongue poke? Yeah, it's deadly. Tae glances back at Jungkook.

"Should we assert our dominance by making out in front of them?" Jungkook asks.

Taehyung smirks. "Are you kidding? I'd love to see the look on their faces. Let's do it."

Before Jungkook can kiss him, the girls come over. A taller girl steps up first, staring at Jungkook. "Do I know you from somewhere?" she asks, batting her eyelashes and sticking her lips out more. Ugh. Ew. What is she, a doll? Taehyung bites back his snarl and tries not to throw up in his mouth.

"Sorry, no. I'm not from Earth, so," Jungkook says with a shrug.

"No no, I swear I recognize you. You're part of that crew, aren't you? Your face is all over every social media site in the world. You and your Captain especially. Jungkook, right?"

Jungkook sighs but hides his annoyance otherwise. "Yes, is that a problem?"

"Oh no, I was just wondering why you're on Earth."

"Because it's the home to half of our crew, we have a right to be here."

The girl pouts. "No need to get offended, I was only asking. Can I take a picture with you?"

"Huh? Why?"

"You guys are celebrities. Kim Taehyung, right?" she asks, turning to him.

Tae hums. "That would be me."

"Who doesn't want a picture with celebrities?" she asks, and the three girls behind her nod rapidly in agreement. As much as she has a point, the crew never signed up for this. They're saving lives. They didn't ask to be recognized in the streets while living their private lives. Taehyung can already tell he'll hate being a celebrity if his private, limited time with Jungkook is going to get interrupted.

Taehyung peeks forward and sees the line is still long, so he huffs and glances at Jungkook. He gets the message, looking back at the girls. "I don't see why not," he says. The girls cheer, and the tall one asks the person behind them in line to take their picture. The man agrees, and the girls form a huddle around Jungkook and Taehyung. He's pretty uncomfortable to say the least, but oh well. He technically agreed to this, can't back out now. Plus, it's only a picture. Suck it up, buttercup.

Jungkook and him smile with the girls, and soon enough, the picture is taken. The girls giggle, the tall one taking her phone back and thanking the one who took the pic. "Thank you guys so much," she says, giving them 'seductive' eyes that makes Tae cringe.

"Oh and um... Jungkook?" one of the others asks, making the Executive halt in his tracks.

"Yes?" he asks, faking his tone of kindness.

"Your friend here is pretty cute," she says, winking at Tae.

Jungkook chuckles, and Tae already knows where Jungkook is taking this. "I'm sorry, friend? Which friend?" Jungkook asks, licking his lower lip.

The girls knit their brows together. "Taehyung," the tall one says, motioning to the boy.

"Oh, him? Since when is he my friend?"

"Uh, I'm sorry wha-" Before the girls can finish, Jungkook presses his lips over Tae's. The girls all gasp in-sync, causing Jungkook to smirk against Tae's lips. Tae returns the expression, pulling away after only a few seconds. Jungkook peers at the girls, who are standing there with wide eyes and mouths.

"Why are all the hot ones taken?" the shortest one asks in a whine.

"Snooze you lose," Jungkook says, wrapping an arm around Tae.

"What about your Captain? Jimin is hot as hell."

Jungkook whistles, his eyes forming hearts. "You're telling me. But no, he's practically engaged. He's met his soulmate."

"Yeah, me," another says. She's medium-height and has long brown hair.

Jungkook raises a brow. "Is your name Y/N?" At her silence, Jungkook takes it as permission to keep talking. "Jimin's taken not only by Y/N but by Min Yoongi, Kim Taehyung, and me."

"What?"

"Oh yeah, the entire crew is whipped for him. Get in line, you have nine other people you're competing with."

"And we all look like we jumped out of a magazine," Tae says, causing Jungkook to hum in agreement. The girls pout, then turn and sulk away.

Jungkook watches them go, then as soon as they're out of earshot, he bursts out laughing. "Okay, I don't even care about the jumping, that alone was worth it," Jungkook says, moving up in line.

Taehyung gives him a boxy smile. "We're celebrities, you realize that?"

"I knew we were popular, but I didn't know we were this popular. Enough to be recognized on the street? Weird if you ask me."

"Well I got recognized at paintball. Made a new friend, Johnathan."

"Well, there you go. We're famous."

After a few more minutes of waiting, it ends up being their turn. The realization that he's about to jump off a bridge and be swung back up hits Taehyung, and his enhancements start to glow brighter, his body burning at the effort. "Need me to hold your hand?" Jungkook teases as he walks up.

"Seeing as it's individual, I don't think that's possible," Taehyung says back as Jungkook steps forward.

Jungkook goes out onto the small platform, where he's strapped in and double - no, triple - checked. The people working maintenance pull on all the straps and really take their time making sure, which Taehyung is grateful for. The last thing he needs is his boyfriend splattered in the lake far below. There's a giant drop. Tae can't even begin to guess how many feet, which might be why he's so nervous. The open air, the feeling of free falling, the view: it may be thrilling, sure, but also terrifying. Tae's sure he just needs to suck it up and do it. For Jungkook.

Jungkook is fully ready, grinning as the two men working maintenance look over him. "Wait, Jeon Jungkook?" one of them asks, and Jungkook starts laughing.

"Wow, we really are famous, babe," Jungkook says, causing Taehyung to agree.

"Famous? Babe?" the other one asks, turning back to look at Taehyung.

"Jeon Jungkook and Kim Taehyung, in the flesh," Taehyung says with a small bow.

"Wow, never thought we'd see the day where we're meeting the crew," the first one says, smiling. "We can't thank you enough for your service. The Ring and Ganymede? Triton? The aliens? Seriously, good shit."

"Thank you for saying that. It wasn't easy, but we're here now. We're safe now, hopefully for good," Jungkook says.

"And if Earth needs us for the Earth Mars war, we'll be in that too," Tae adds, causing the two men to give them a look of respect.

"This ride's on the house, thank you." Taehyung is about to protest, but they hold up their hands to stop him. "No seriously, allow us. It's the least we can do."

Tae smiles, nodding and thanking them for the offer. He didn't think Earth would be this nice. He heard stories about how crime rates are going up, how the people are mean, how no one talks to each other anymore, but he's talked to more people in the past two days than he has in the past three years on Triton. He's not sure if that's a good or bad thing, but he doesn't question it for now. Maybe it's just Binghamton, or maybe the rumors were wrong. Who knows. Or even better: maybe this Chaeyoung person is fixing Earth.

"Alright, ready?" the first man asks, and Jungkook hums.

"You sure?" the other asks.

Jungkook seems nervous for a moment, then regains his composure. "Let's get it!" As soon as the words leave his mouth, the workers help him to the edge. And, he jumps. Taehyung gasps, watching as the boy falls down further and further by the second. Even from here, Taehyung can hear his cute little giggles.

Taehyung softly smiles, looking down and watching as Jungkook bounces up and down. If Tae could see Jungkook's face, he's sure he'd be flashing his signature bunny smile. Taehyung's heart melts when he hears Jungkook's shouts of delight. Tae's so glad he decided to take his wonderful boyfriend here. Hopefully his soon to be husband. Taehyung flusters at the thought, but he's brought out of it when Jungkook yells.

"I love you, Kim Taehyung!"

~22:30~

You nuzzle up against his side, the air brushing by your skin as a thin layer of fog covers the lake. You're sitting on the deck with Jimin, Baby tied to a wooden pole not far behind you. She's away from the water, her leash long enough that she gets decent walking room but not enough that she'll run away or fall in the lake. You and Jimin wanted some alone time away from the house. You wanted to mix it up a little, if you will.

"Baby?" he asks, and you hum.

"What's up, Mochi?" You turn your head towards him. As soon as you do, he kisses you. You kiss him back, moving your lips over his slowly, almost teasingly. He keeps his lips on yours, your heartbeat increasing as it always does whenever he touches you. His touch sets your body on fire. You love every aspect of him, and this is one of the biggest ones. Just the way he treats you. Jimin treats you like an absolute princess, and you couldn't be more thankful.

You chuckle against his lips, waiting a few more seconds before pulling away. "What'd you want to tell me?" you ask, staying close.

He smiles. "I really like you." Before you can respond, he kisses you again. He grabs at your shirt, pulling on it and kissing you harder than before. You kiss back twice as hard, moving over his lips. Your saliva hits his, but you don't care. In fact, it turns you on more. You moan against his lips, slipping your tongue inside his mouth and letting him work his wonders.

You pull back to breathe, about to go back in when he grabs your shoulders. Before you can react, he pushes you down against the wooden plank, your body submissive to him. He hovers over you, lifting your shirt. You bite your lower lip. You got him a little surprise, to say the least. You were planning on saving it for when you got back, but this will work too.

He licks his lower lip once your shirt is completely up, the red lingerie you're wearing underneath exposed to him. "Did you wear this for me?" he asks, his voice low and hoarse.

"Yes daddy," you reply, waggling your brows.

His eyes spark at your use of the word. "Tomorrow we're going to go out shopping for some dog toys and house decorations," he starts, trailing his hands up and down your skin.

"Mhmm. And?" you ask, causing him to lowly chuckle.

"I'm going to put that vibrator in you and control you with my phone."

He kisses your neck, sucking on your skin and marking you. It's been a while since he left any marks, so you're excited to get a fresh batch. "F-Fuck, right there," you say, and that has him trembling. Jimin and his praise kink. He's so easy to turn on.

He continues his sucking spree, going lower with each kiss and licking you. You hold him close, panting as he admires the lingerie with his hands. He presses his bulge up against you, making you gasp and moan.

"Mmm baby, I can't wait to fuck you," he murmurs, squeezing your hip with one hand. You're about to reply, to tell him to go lower, to rip the clothing off of you, but Baby starts barking. You and Jimin groan in-sync, glancing over at her. She's just barking at the two of you. "Should we ignore her?" Jimin asks, making you chuckle.

"Probably not, she might need something."

"Like?" You open your mouth to reply, then you think about it.

She had food earlier, she's outside so she can use the bathroom whenever she wants, she gets spoiled with treats and love throughout the day; what could she possibly need? Maybe she saw something?

"Can you go check on her?" you ask, pouting and giving him puppy eyes.

He gives you a quick kiss. "Why?"

"Because if you do I'll reward yo-" He gets up and sprints over to Baby, making you snicker and shake your head.

You fully take off your shirt, slipping out of your pants and laying against the plank, your lingerie the only thing hugging your body. Jimin kneels next to Baby, petting her. She eagerly trots back and forth, encouraging him to pet her. You laugh, leaning on your side and pushing your clothes away. You watch as he pets her aggressively, giving her lots of love. He even brings her into his arms and rocks her back and forth, kissing the top of her head. Despite how horny you (always) are, you have to admit that's absolutely adorable and it warms your heart.

He gives her another minute of attention before standing, gently placing her on the ground and rushing back over to you. You lay on your side, biting your lower lip as he walks onto the deck. Jimin spots you and stops, his mouth falling open. He seems to forget that the rest of the world exists as his eyes drink in your body. He has a very painfully obvious boner that gets larger by the second, him blinking as if not believing his eyes.

He remembers how to walk after a few seconds, approaching you and hovering over you again. "Fuck, princess. You're so hot," he whispers, tracing his hands up and down your body.

"You like it?" you ask, giving him a teasing look.

"I love it. Too bad I'm going to have to rip it off." You giggle as his lips press against your chest, his mouth finding all the spots on your exposed skin. You wrap your legs around his waist, encouraging him to go lower. He moans against your skin, making you gasp and moan with him.

You bring his bulge to hit your entrance, and he goes still at the contact. You grind your hips over him, making him breathe heavily. "Just like that, baby. Keep going," he says in a mutter. Well who are you to say no to that? You move faster, and he rests his head in the crook of your neck, becoming a moaning mess. You love the way he moans against you, the way he rubs over you. After a beat, you grip at his back. But once again, you're interrupted by barking.

You stop your motions, you and him groaning in-sync again. You and Jimin look over at her, but she's just barking like crazy. "Is this what having children is like? Being interrupted all the time?" Jimin asks, and you giggle.

"Better go check on her, right?" you ask, letting amusement seep into your tone.

"Can't she wait five minutes? I wanna fill you up," he murmurs, kissing your neck again. You shiver at his touch, smiling.

"Maybe we should take this back to our house anyway, that way we have a door that locks."

"She'll still bark," Jimin replies in a whisper.

You sigh and let him kiss you briefly, Baby barking like crazy. "Still want to ignore her?" you ask as he goes lower.

"Kind of. Come on, darling. I wanna make you cum." Your left eye twitches. You want that too, but A) your dog is barking her little head off, and B) you'd honestly feel bad fucking in front of your puppy. She can hear it, but she can't see it. You have limits.

You sigh, grabbing his shoulders. "Let's take this home, okay?"

"I feel like we're an old married couple," he says with an exasperated sigh.

"We kind of are. You're horny all the time and I'm grumpy all the time. Works out." He lets out a cute giggle, hovering over you again to kiss your lips. He pulls back almost immediately, giving you a cute eye smile.

"Alright, let's take her back, shall we?"

He stands, helping you up. You trot away as he gathers your clothes, you grabbing the leash and untying it from the wooden pole. Baby pulls on the leash instantly, causing you to yelp and nearly fall to the ground at the sudden force.

"Woah girl. Baby, slow down," you say, keeping a decent pace with her. Jimin rushes to keep up, holding your clothes while you follow the path back to your home. It's dimly lit, but that's not a big deal. The Moon is shining bright anyway, so you can still see.

After a couple minutes of walking and trying to get Baby to go at a decent pace, you make it back home. You're slightly cold since, well, you're literally wearing just your underwear, and Jimin's heat isn't anywhere near you. He opens the door for you, and you rush in. You kneel, taking the leash off of Baby and throwing it onto the kitchen counter.

"This puppy is a lot of work sometimes," you say. He chuckles, placing his hands on your hips.

"Yeah, I don't get it," Jimin whispers, kissing your cheek. "Maybe she just wants a sister," he adds, making you lean into his touch.

"Yeah, maybe," you reply, letting his hands travel down your body.

"But that's never gonna happen if she doesn't let us fuck." Your eyes widen, and you peek over at him. "What? I said I wanted to fill you up," he murmurs, kissing your shoulder. You decide against replying, watching as Baby scurries over to her water bowl.

Jimin suddenly picks you up, making you giggle as he throws you over his shoulder. He slaps your ass, and you gasp in response. You don't even question it as he starts to walk away. "Be good, Baby. Mommy and I are gonna give you a sister now, okay?" The dog only looks at the two of you in response, sticking out her tongue and breathing heavily.

"Min, put me down!" you say in a whine as he brings you up the stairs.

He ignores your cries as he navigates down the hall and into your bedroom, kicking the door closed and tossing you on the bed. He crawls on top of you, throwing your clothes away and nearly ripping off his own. He kisses your inner thigh, then crawls up further and hovers over your face. "You still owe me those screams," he whispers, licking his lower lip. God those plump lips. They're so beautiful.

"Then come get them," you say, and he smirks.

He kisses you, pulling at the strings of the fabric hiding your body. "Mmm, baby. I want to feel you so badly," he says, squeezing your ass.

"I'm all yours," you reply, biting your lower lip.

He gazes at you with lust, kissing your chest, then going down more. He leaves a trail of kisses, just like he always loves to do. "Would you mind if I tasted you?" he asks, resting his chin on your stomach and peeking up at you.

"Go right ahead," you whisper, and he chuckles, trailing his fingers along your inner thighs.

"You and I are going to have a lot of fun tonight, princess..."
