"No." Night said firmly.
"Come on. There is not much of an option. You have to share a room with Zia." Yoongi said.
"There is." she quickly fired back. "Zia and Hoseok sleep together."
Zia felt heat rush to her cheeks. She was speechless. Hoseok and her had never slept on the same bed together.
Sure, they had cuddled up in each other's rooms. Talked for hours about seemingly normal things and made each other laugh. Hoseok would always kiss her cheek and pull her tightly against his body.
Eventually they would sit in silence. Not needing words to express their feelings. Holding each other, feeling the warmth radiating from their bodies. She smiled slightly.
"What do you guys say?" Namjoon asked her and Hoseok.
"I'm fine if Hoseok is comfortable with it." Zia responded.
"I'm fine too." Hoseok said, smiling softly at her. Her heart fluttered as always when he smiled at her.
"Yes!" Night exclaimed in relief. "I missed sleeping in the middle of the bed."
Everyone laughed at her confession.
"Guys but do keep quiet at night. The rest of us are trying to sleep." Jungkook said, wiggling his eyebrows at them.
Night laughed and gave him a high five. Taehyung and Jimin chuckled.
Zia simply rolled her eyes. She was used to their teasing at this point. She would be surprised if they stopped teasing her. But she couldn't wait for them to start dating someone. She was going to get her revenge then.
"Moving on." Namjoon said seriously. "We have to fly this ship. I have been going through this manual. Flying it is not hard once you understand the controls, it also has autopilot. So once we get it in the air, we can just switch it to autopilot .The directions to Eroth are already enabled in the system."
"Will you be able to do that?" Zia asked hopefully.
Namjoon was the smartest person in the room. He was also reading the manual earlier. If he understood the controls he could be able to fly the spaceship.
"I think," he said, scratching the back of his neck. "I need to go over the manual one more time."
"We need food." Taehyung suddenly said.
This had completely slipped Zia's mind. They couldn't survive without food. Even if they had to save another planet, they were still humans who died without food.
"We have to buy in bulk." Night said. "I'll go."
"Me too." Jimin volunteered.
"We both won't be able to carry so much. Taehyung, wanna come?" Night asked.
"Yeah, sure." he shrugged.
Everyone dispersed to their own tasks. Leaving Zia alone with Hoseok.
"Wanna pick out a room?" Zia asked him innocently.
"Yeah, sure." He smirked and snaked an arm around her waist. "Choose the one with the best bed." he whispered in her ear, sending a tingling sensation in her body.
"Why?" she asked innocently. She knew the answer but she wanted to play with him.
"So that we get a good amount of sleep."
"We don't have anything to do." Hoseok commented, lying on the bed beside it. The mattress sunk down because of his weight.
They had taken a room in the far corner of the ship. The room, like the rest of the ship, was brightly lit. This made her miss her room in Hoseok's villa. It had a lot of natural light.
"Cuddle?" Zia asked, looking at him.
His face lit up and he smiled. He sat up and moved to the headboard. Then, got under the blankets and opened his arms for Zia to come.
She chuckled softly, before moving into his arms. She rested her back on the headboard and looked at him. He was staring into her eyes. His hazel eyes like melting chocolate, melting her heart.
She felt giddy, like she always felt around Hoseok. Her eyes gazed at his lips. Instinctively she leaned in.
Hoseok understood what Zia was going to do. He slightly parted his lips. She placed her lips on the curve of his. Their lips locked perfectly. Her hand moved to cup his face. Slowly caressing his cheekbone. Her eyes fluttered close.
She could feel pure bliss. His lips were soft, warm and addicting.
His grip on her waist tightened as he deepened the kiss. His lips moving slowly against hers. Hoseok slightly sucked her bottom lip before pulling away.
Zia's breath was heavy. She met his eyes, staring deep into her soul.
"Your eyes are green." he whispered, their foreheads touching. His voice was softer than cotton. "Colour of hope."
He kissed her again and pulled her body in his. She could feel his heat warming up her insides. She felt his hot breath against her cheek. She ran her hand through his soft hair. Playing with strands of hair intertwined between her fingers while she kissed him back.
She pulled away, her chest heaving up and down due to less oxygen supply, and laid her head on his chest. His heart was beating fast. She sighed happily and wrapped her hands around his waist.
She was happy, at ease. She looked up at Hoseok. He had closed his eyes, his face had a small smile which no one had the power to remove. Zia kept staring at the beautiful man in front of her, until he cleared his throat.
She looked down, embarrassed that he had caught her staring. He chuckled softly and squeezed her tightly before closing his eyes again.
Zia looked at him one last time before she also closed her eyes. It was peaceful. If they didn't have to leave in a spaceship a few hours later, she would have believed things were normal.

"We have to buy necessities." Jimin told Taehyung again.
"Chocolate is a necessity." Taehyung argued.
"Did I hear chocolate?" Night asked, popping her head from the other aisle.
"Did you get the water?" Jimin asked her.
"Yeah." she said and disappeared.
She came back pushing a huge box of packaged water. She disappeared again and brought another box.
"We might need another box." Jimin pointed out.
"I'll go." Taehyung noticed the glare Night was giving Jimin.
"Ooh, chocolates." Night said happily, grabbing two handfuls and throwing them in the basket. Luckily her hands were small.
Jin had given them his credit card to use. Either he trusted them or didn't care about his money. Jimin hoped it was the former.
"We are buying necessities." Jimin repeated himself.
"Chocolate is a necessity." Night repeated Taehyung's words.
She must have heard us having the same argument earlier. He thought.
Taehyung came back pushing the box of packaged water.
"What else do we need?" Taehyung asked, puffing his cheeks out.
"Jungkook mentioned he wanted banana milk." Night remembered.
"I got it." Jimin replied.
"We should check out then?"
"I think so. We have everything.'' said Taehyung, eyeing their food.
It looked like they were storing for a pandemic. Jimin didn't know how long it would take for them to reach Eroth. It was better they bought a little extra than needed rather than die of starvation.
At the counter, Jimin gave the staff Jin's card. Night and Taehyung packed the food in bags.
"There you go." Night grunted, passing a bag full of food to Jimin. Their knuckles brushed. Jimin could feel goosebumps. He followed Night out of the store.
The sun was setting, and the sky was darkening quickly. They put the groceries in the van and got in. It would take them at least half an hour to reach the base of Bukhansan.
"See you at the top." Taehyung bid them farewell and flew with two bags of food. He had to come back down for the other bags, too.
Jimin and Night had to climb the whole mountain again. Both sighing deeply, regretting the choice of going grocery shopping. The entire way they didn't talk much, except a few conversations not lasting more than a few minutes.
"Water." Jimin groaned as soon as they stumbled in the spaceship. His voice was hoarse.
It was night now. Namjoon was still on the lavish leather chair in front of the controls. He was still understanding the controls. Jin and Yoongi were unpacking all the things they had bought. It was scattered across the floor while they arranged it and found places to store it.
The ship didn't have a kitchen, but it had several heat pads etched on the sleek long counters. They hadn't bought anything which needed to be refrigerated. Except the chocolates which Night had grabbed, but the ship was air-conditioned. Almost all of the food was packaged.
Jin told Jungkook to get Night and him a bottle of water. Jungkook obliged and bought over a bottle of water and gave it to Jimin.
Jimin drank almost half the bottle and passed it to Night. She thanked him before filling her mouth with water. Her hair had turned from white to gray, from all the dust settled on it.
"Okay!" Namjoon said, turning around on the chair excitedly, his dimples popping out. "I figured out how to fly the ship. We can leave now."
Jimin's heart clenched when they had to leave. But they had no other option.
"I'll go and call the rest." Jungkook said and left.
After a few minutes, everyone came out. Hoseok and Zia looked like Jungkook had woken them up. Taehyung's hair was glistening. He had just taken a bath. This reminded Jimin to also take a bath. He hadn't seen himself in a mirror but he knew he was covered in dust.
"So we are leaving." Yoongi exclaimed in a low whistle.
Namjoon pressed a button, and the door closed.
Jimin's heartbeats sped up. They were definitely going to Eroth.
Night exchanged a nervous glance with him. She was also not terribly thrilled about leaving Earth either.
"Everyone sit down just in case." Namjoon advised.
The rest scattered to find a seat. Jimin flung himself in the nearest chair he could find and clutched the armrest as tightly as he could.
Namjoon sat in front of the controls. "Ready everyone?"
They just nodded. Too nervous to speak.
Jimin could feel nervousness in the growing pit of his stomach. If he had had dinner, he would have thrown it up by now.
Namjoon pressed a few buttons, and the ship started revving up. Jimin bit his bottom lip in anticipation.
He could feel the ship rise in the air. Namjoon didn't stop until they had exited Earth's atmosphere.
Everyone in the room collectively held their breaths while Namjoon worked on controlling the ship. They could plummet back to Earth because of one mistake.
"Done." Namjoon finally said. Jimin could feel relief wash over him. "It's on autopilot now."
Everyone rejoiced. At least they won't die in space now.
***
Hours later, Jimin lay awake in bed. His eyes open wide. He had tried sleeping numerous times. Switching his positions but he still couldn't sleep.
Frustrated, he got up and made his way out of the room.
The outer room with the controls was brightly lit. They left it that way just in case they had to steer the spaceship.
He opened a bottle of water and poured some for himself in a plastic glass. He wasn't thirsty enough to drink the whole contents of the bottle so he left it near a heat pad.
They had used it earlier to cook ramen. It was easy to use, but he wondered why it was present on a spaceship for monsters.
He decided to go back to his room. He walked down the small dimly lit hallway and bumped into someone.
It was Night. She looked like she couldn't sleep either. "Oh, hey." she mumbled.
Night tried to go around him. Jimin smirked. He moved to his right, blocking her path.
She groaned and tried to go around him again. He again stood in front of her.
"Let me go." she whined, closing her eyes and scrubbing her nose, pouting slightly.
"Go then." He replied, smirking. Pointing to the empty space beside them.
She moved again, but this time also Jimin blocked her way.
She sighed and looked at him challengingly. He smirked back at her. He was having fun teasing her.
Before he could react, she placed her hands on his chest and pushed him backwards. He could feel goosebumps spread all over his body from her touch. She didn't stop pushing him until he started walking backwards and walked out of the hallway, back into the outer room. She removed her hand and Jimin let go of the breath he didn't know he was holding.
She smirked to herself and looked at him. "Thank you for moving Jimin."
"Anything for you." Jimin winked.
She moved away from him and started rummaging in the food.
"Why are you awake?" He asked.
"I couldn't sleep and Hoseok and Zia are giggling about something." She replied, shrugging. "How about you?"
"Same." He said with a small smile.
She opened a bag of chips and offered it to him. Eating the ones in her hand while she waited for him to respond.
"It's so intriguing to look out." She said, looking out to see the universe.
Jimin completely agreed with her. The view outside the window was breathtaking. It was something he would only see once in his life. He felt so small in front of the vast universe with its stars, galaxies and planets.
"Do you know what time it is?" Night asked him softly.
"No. But I don't think it matters now."
"Yeah." she shook her head. "It's just so different, you know."
Jimin hummed. "Maybe it won't be after we defeat the monsters. Maybe it won't be that hard to defeat them."
"Maybe. We can hope that, but there is still a chance things won't go that way."
"Think positive." he said, snatching the chip she was about to eat. Night smacked the back of his hand and the chip fell on the floor. She eyed it with pity before shoving two chips in her mouth.
Jimin and Night stayed talking and goofing around till the others woke up for breakfast.
