After they had spent the previous day almost exclusively chilling on the sofa and Minho and Changbin had lovingly taken care of Chan and Jisung, the next day began much too early again.

Jisung and Minho had their next therapy session, Chan urgently had to go to the new apartment and clarify some things and Changbin was scheduled for half the day in the studio.

What Chan didn't know, Jisung would be in the studio with Changbin most of the time.

He had arranged with Marc that they would go there together and if everything went well, Marc would leave him and Changbin at some point.

On the one hand, Jisung was confident that everything would go well, on the other hand incredibly nervous.

He had been awake for a long time when the alarm clock rang and had certainly been rolling from one side to the other for half an hour.

"Baby, do we just want to get up and take a shower?" Minho asked with a grin after he turned off the alarm clock.

"Yes, please! And drink coffee. Even if I'll probably be even more nervous after the coffee, but I just need something that feels familiar."

Although they actually had to hurry, Minho took the time and washed Jisung's hair. Spread many small kisses on Jisung's back and finally washed Jisung's body.

"Min," Jisung moaned and wanted nothing more than to have sex with Minho right away.

They hadn't talked about having sex again, but Jisung was more than ready to try it again.

The sex with Changbin had been really good, but he longed for Minho.

"Later," Minho murmured and stroked Jisung's butt.

At that moment there was a knock on the bathroom door and shortly afterwards Chan stretched his head into the bathroom. Grinning, he let his gaze wander over Minho and Jisung.

"You already know that we have to leave in like fifteen minutes?" he asked and raised his eyebrows with a grin.

Sighing, Jisung leaned against Minho for a moment before he reached for a towel and wrapped it around his hip.

He kissed Minho gently and then left the shower regretfully.

Minho reached for a towel and wrapped himself in it while staring at Chan angrily.

Who pulled Minho to himself without further ado and kissed him before he left the bathroom laughing - followed by Minho.

"You could have gotten up earlier if you needed a little togetherness. It's not my fault that we all have to go."

With a nasty grin, Minho grabbed Chan and bit him in the neck.

"Ah Min," Chan gasped.

Satisfied, Minho looked at the clearly visible bite mark, stroked his finger over it and disappeared towards the bedroom.

"It's your own fault. I told you that you to better not disturb them," with a smile, Changbin pulled Chan into his arm and breathed a kiss on the bite mark.

A short time later, they sat together in the car.

Changbin drove while Chan had made himself as comfortable as possible in the passenger seat.

Minho had willingly let himself into the back seat in order to be able to take Jisung in his arms. Even if Jisung hadn't told him how nervous he was, Minho would have noticed it immediately.

Jisung had scratched his leg until Minho noticed it and grabbed his hand.

Chan was fortunately quite tired, so he didn't really get anything from Jisung's nervousness.

After Changbin had dropped off Minho and Jisung, he drove Chan to the new apartment and brought the first boxes into the apartment together with him.

"We still have a lot of work ahead of us," he said, put down the box he was carrying and leaned against Chan.

"But it will be worth it. Even though I think we will rarely use both beds, we will all have a retreat. And an own small studio here, in case we don't feel like going to the label," Chan said with a smile and snuggled up to Changbin.

"So you want to have a retreat?" Changbin asked with a grin and kissed Chan.

"Mhm. And I think someone has to teach you behavior again... seems like you've lost yours," said Chan and pushed Changbin against the next best wall.

"Baby... I have to go to the studio..." Changbin murmured and pressed himself against Chan moaning when he bit Changbin's neck.

"Maybe I should ask Minho if he wants to teach you a little behavior," said Chan and grinned mischievously.

A wide variety of emotions rushed over Changbin's face, but eventually his insolence gained the upper hand.

"At least I would probably be able to walk afterwards," he said and grinned at Chan.

With a smile, Chan shook his head. "Do you want to let it come down to it?"

Hesitantly, Changbin nodded, leaned forward and kissed Chan gently.

Sighing, he finally pushed Chan away from him. "I have to go..."

"See you later babe," Chan said with a grin, kissed Changbin again and pushed him out of the front door.

"Look how you want to get rid of me now," Changbin said and sniffed sadly.

"I love you. And now off with you. We both have work to do!" Chan said with a laugh.

"I love you too, baby!"

With this, Changbin closed the door behind him and made his way to the studio with a grin.

He loved the banter with Chan. In the period before Jisung kidnapping, it had become significantly less. They had been incredibly stressed and got on their nerves rather than having fun together.

The lightness between them felt incredibly good. Even if he knew that they would lose a little bit of it again when they finally had to go back to work again. But for the moment he would enjoy the lightness.

Jisung had agreed with Minho that he would come to the studio when he had finished his therapy and then said goodbye to him.

Now he sat opposite Marc and wobbled nervously with his leg.

"Hello Jisung, how are you feeling today?" Marc asked and smiled at him.

"All right? And quite nervous I would say. But actually good."

Marc smiled at him understandingly.

"Would you like to talk about anything before we leave?"

For a moment, Jisung tried to tell Marc about the successful sex, but he wasn't sure if he wanted to tell him that he had had sex with Changbin and not with Minho. So he just shook his head.

"Well, then I'll go get my things and then we can go."

Together they left the practice. Marc's car was parked nearby and after opening the passenger door for Jisung, he went around the car and let himself sink into the driver's seat.

The way to the label was not far and the two got rid of the time when they talked about Jisung's new apartment.

When they arrived at the label, they had to park nearby, because Jisung - without a car and driver's license - of course had no parking permit.

Before they got out, they both put on a mask and then hurried into the building with their heads lowered.

The young woman at the reception could not hide her surprise for a moment, but made a great effort to get her facial expressions back under control.

After all, it was certainly two months ago that Jisung had been here. In addition, his kidnapping had been in the news, even if the label had tried to keep it out of the news.

Without a word, Jisung showed her his ID card and then went on without waiting.

Knowing Marc by his side was good and gave him the necessary support not to be overwhelmed by the reactions of the people around him.

Marc smiled encouragingly at him when they finally stood alone in the elevator.

"Are you all right?" he asked quietly.

Jisung nodded. It actually felt quite okay to be here again. Apart from the surprised looks, many were also happy that he was here again and had nice words for him.

Arriving at the studio, Jisung knocked and then opened the door without waiting for an answer.

"Hay Baby," said Changbin, walked up to Jisung and pulled him into his arm. "Are you all right?"

Jisung blushed, nodded and kissed Changbin quickly before he turned to Marc, who looked around the studio with striking interest, but Jisung had discovered the slight grin directly.

"Binnie, that's Marc, Marc, that's Changbin."

The two bowed slightly.

After that, they sat down and talked for a while before Changbin started up the computer to show Jisung and Marc what he was working on.

A short time later, it was as if Jisung had never been gone.

He hummed to himself while following the beat with his fingers on the armrest.

Changbin mumbled to himself and wrote lines of text that came to his mind and added another beat from time to time.

Marc sat in amazement on the sofa behind the desk and watched the two.

Experiencing Jisung at work was incredible interesting. As if a completely different Jisung would come to light and took over.

With a smile, Marc followed Jisung's movements and tried to see a sign of whether it would become too much for the blonde at any point or if he was overwhelmed, but Jisung was completely in his element.

But since Marc had to go back to the practice to his next patient, he got up at some point, put a hand on Jisung's shoulder briefly and then said goodbye to him and Changbin.

About half an hour later, Minho came to the studio.

Silently, he sat down on Jisung's lap and wrapped his arms around his fiancé.

Jisung stroked Minho's back, kissed him gently and then turned back to his work.

They sat there for quite a while until Changbin startled.

"Oh fuck!"

Minho and Jisung looked up surprised.

"Hmm?"

"I should have been on my way to pick up Chan long ago...," Changbin said in dismay.

Minho stood up with a sigh.

"Keep working, I'll pick him up and then we'll pick you up. Then maybe you can finish your project."

Changbin handed him the keys gratefully and turned back to his work.

Minho kissed both Jisung and Changbin and then set off to pick up Chan.
