It hadn't been on Lorraine's list to go.

Her initial plan had been to send BTS to her island for a long vacation away from her. Not with her. Because she thought they had had enough of her troubles for a run in.

But then as soon as she had noted Jimin that she'd be going back to LA he had immediately refused to go to the island in Bahamas without her. She had been stuck because she really needed to go back to LA, clear up her mess, apologize to her cast and crew for being so unpunctual and atleast give a few scene takes before going to the island. Because after the vacation, both of them will be up their necks with work and wouldn't find the time to be with eachother.

So she had agreed, but she's be coming late because of her work in LA. When she went back to LA though, things narrowed down to her own friends. Matt, Ivey, and Ana. They hadn't shut up with the questions, which she had gingerly answered before inviting them to her island. They had been there before, of course.

BigHit had also posted an official announcement of her and Jimin dating.

This is to inform you that Jimin and Lorraine Acker are officially dating. The clip that was leaked by some reporters at the award show was not a scandal. The couple were in a private area, in their private space and did not intend to show any of it. We have increased BTS's security after the drastic incident though fortunately there were no severe injuries. After the incident, the band has been disturbed thus, we have decided to give them a break and rest for a bit. We are overjoyed for the fan support the couple has been given.

Perfect monopoly.

Don't get her wrong, she was truly greatful for the people who were supporting her. Hell, it meant the world to her. It has always meant the world. But it still a perfect monopoly.

Three days later, stepping out of her helicopter that had just landed on the island of Bahamas, Lorraine's handbag was firmly taken by one of her workers. Ana padded beside her, taking off her sunglasses to take in the beauty that was Lorraine's island.

Green and tropical, coral breezes gushing the air, large coconut trees rooting the sand. It was truly heaven on earth, her island. A piece of serenity for her soul. That was the purpose it served, Lorraine had bought it to escape the world to begin with. To come here and rest.

The helipad and a runway was situated at the back of the island, while her villa and the beach was on the other side. Matt and Ivey followed right after them.

Jimin and his band mate's flight would be reaching an hour later, she had been informed, so they sat in the Jeep and went to the other side of the island.

They went into the villa, their luggage already arranged into their rooms. Lorraine went to hers and Jimin's to take a shower. Right about an hour later, when she was drying her hair, one of the workers told her that the boys were here. She went down the stairs, Matt, Ivey and Ana already there.

It was as if everything else obscured from her vision when she saw him, paving her way towards Jimin, his hair now brown, she couldn't wait to run her hands through them.

"Hi," he whispered once she was in front of him, pulling her in for a sweet kiss. She analyzed his features for a second, soft and...fuck, she started missing him in three days how was she going to survive months away from him? Frequently?

"Hey."

She introduced BTS and her friends with each other. But when she was about to introduce Jungkook to Ana, he stepped ahead himself, taking Ana's hand and saying,

"I'm Jungkook, call me JK."

"I know your name." Ana replied, smirking.

Jungkook kissed the back of Ana's hand and Lorraine looked away to avoid the whole scene. Not that she was disapproving of it, she just didn't want to tell them that they sucked at flirting.

After a while of the introduction and planning what they're gonna do and coming up with 'do anything apart from work', everyone went to their each room's, the latecomers' luggage being shifted as well.

"I absolutely loathe long hour flights."

Jimin groaned once he was in the room him and Lorraine shared, falling limp on the bed. Lorraine plopped herself down beside him on the bed.

"So much for starting a world tour in a couple months, Huh?"

Jimin hummed against the pillow, turning his face to look at Lorraine.

"Anything for ARMYs, I'm dying to see them. I'm dying to perform."

"I know..." Lorraine said, smiling softly. "It sounds so cool, to make a million people dance to the songs you wrote and... Make them have the time of their lives."

Jimin sat up beside her, silently staring, eyes hooded and a smirk playing at his lips. Lorraine knew what he was doing by the way he leaned his head just an inch closer to hers while taking his bottom lip between his teeth. 

"I thought we decided to not speak anything relevant to work..."

"Right," she said, eyes focused on the lip that was being bitten by Jimin. Fuck, she wanted to do that.

"Come here." Jimin husked out and that was all she needed to be on top of him, lips attaching to his, moaning lowly at the back of her throat as he pulled her hips against his, hand squeezing the flesh of her thighs.

God, she had missed this. She had needed it for so long she couldn't even remember. The way his lips felt against hers, the soft, plump flesh. The way the heat of his hands melted on her skin. 

They pulled away for a moment, gasping for breath before diving back in. Jimin's eyes furrowed in by the way she was making him feel by just kissing him, it felt so right. Something he had always desired. As much as he was a fan of clandestine make-outs and finding pleasure in wrongdoings, this kind of relationship with Lorraine felt more intimate than ever.

It was even lovely in a way, domestic if you count that they were having a vacation on their own private island.

It was easier to give power to her now, started feeling safe in her hands. Easier to become breathless when her hands weaved in his hair. Because he knew she was feeling the same, without a doubt.

It wasn't like the make-out session was filled with ferocity, they weren't fast but hungry enough to leave each other cover in sweat by the time they separated.

Jimin huffed, smiling at her.

"I'm gonna go take a shower, mind to join?"

Lorraine hummed, scrunching her nose which looked adorable with her freshly cut bangs and the new, completely brunette hair look.

"Ah, too bad, I just did."

Jimin huffed once again, this time disappointingly. "Fine, I'll meet you at the beach then."

"Oh no, we can go together if you'd like."

Lorraine could drown in the way he always smiled while talking to her. His gaze was always hooded and it did things to her being. 

"Sure," he answered, tapping the side of her thigh to get her off his lap. She did so, sitting on the bed once again as he stood up and disappeared behind the bathroom door.

Perhaps after ten minutes, there was a knock on the door. She stood up and opened it, revealing Ivey with her beach blonde hair messy and if Lorraine hadn't been an actor, she wouldn't have noticed the hint of anxiousness on her face.

"Is something wrong?" She asked.

"No, no..." Ivey said, voice hushed. "I need to tell you something."

Lorraine noticed that her eyes were glistened, making her worry even more.
She told over to come in, leading her to the balcony. The balcony had stairs connected to the terrace, so they went there before Lorraine turned to her friend.

"What happened?"

"I..." Ivey whispered, looking down, she had a small smile inching on her lips.

"I'm pregnant."

"What?" Lorraine let out, eyes brown wide.

"Yes, I'm pregnant. With Matt's child. I'm happy? I know we talked about it like it was the scariest thing in the world but I'm so happy... because it's Matt and I..."

Lorraine's mouth was agape as she took in the information. "I-I'm happy too. I'm happy for you..." She said, pulling Ivey into a hug with a watery laugh. She didn't understand why she felt so emotional all of a sudden.

"When did you find out? Does Matt know?"

"Last week, he doesn't know yet. I'll tell him today, I just felt like telling it to you first..."

Her heart wrenched with emotions. This kind of prioritisation was new to her being, for someone to tell her they were pregnant first.

"You're gonna be the best parents in the world."
