"So, should we fight over who gets to shower first?"

Jimin immediately runs into the bathroom and closes the door, leaving you standing there in shock. You blink at the closed door, then cross your arms over your chest and pout. "Oh come on, at least rock paper scissors me for it!" you call, but you get no response. So, you sigh and turn towards the bed. After you and him finished your slow dance, he put the bag down in here so you can unpack your very few things. You go back out monster hunting tomorrow. Looks like the two of you should make the most of today.

You rifle through the bag, grabbing a small Ziploc bag that contains two toothbrushes, yours and his. With a smile you place it on the side and neatly unpack both of your folded clothes, including his beautiful Captain's uniform. You separate them and hum to yourself as you work. You hear the shower start, and you sigh. Guess you really did lose that fight. Someone's desperate for a shower, not that you blame him. Does he think you take long showers? Well, in this situation you definitely would. Hot water after fighting for your life not once, not twice, not three times, but God-knows how many times? Yeah, you'd spend two whole days in the shower if you could.

You notice the bag is empty and let out a 'hmph' noise. You guys really don't have much stuff. Now since you actually have money again, you can buy new things. Your eyes widen. That's right: you told Jimin you were going to take him shopping and buy him whatever he wants. Guess that can be your third date. Shopping and going out for lunch. You softly smile to yourself as your fingers trace over one of his t-shirts. You're really lucky, aren't you?

Before you have time to drift further into your thoughts, you hear the bathroom door open, and you jump at the noise. You turn around in time to see a shirtless Jimin approaching you. You don't have time to stare at his chest (that you swear the Gods themselves gave him) since he quickly picks you up. You yelp as he grabs your legs and upper body and carries you bridal style. "Jimin!" you shout.

"What? We need to... preserve... water," he explains, going into the bathroom and kicking the door shut. You laugh as he places you back down, and it's now that you get a moment to see the bathroom. It's small: it only has a sink, toilet, and shower, but it's strangely... comfy? Homey? You're not sure how to describe it. Instead of it being a traditional white, it's a soft blue. It even has two small blue carpets near the sink and the toilet to match the tiles and floor.

The shower softly runs in the corner of the room. Similar to the Moonchild, it's a glass shower, so it looks rather nice. Definitely better than average. Jimin removes his last remaining clothes and you kind of just stare at him. He looks back at you, noticing your stare, and slowly starts to smirk. "How in the living hell did I score you?" you whisper, your mouth wide open. He merely chuckles. You come back to your senses, removing your clothes as quickly as possible.

Jimin approaches you and puts his hands on your waist, leaning down and kissing you softly. The kiss only lasts a few seconds, but you instantly desire more. He pulls back and meets your eyes. "I ask myself the same thing all the time."

You laugh. "We're kind of cheesy, you realize that?"

"It's only us, who's going to judge?"

"We're just as cheesy around the others. I think they're getting sick of us."

He only gives you a cheeky smile before walking over to the shower. You follow like a little duckling, stepping in behind him. The water hits you, and you almost moan at the feeling. Your body is covered from head to toe with dirt and dried blood. The small wound Jungkook gave your neck needs to be cleaned out, so this is like your way of doing it. You hope that the gashes you gave him are healing, you feel bad about them. Then again, you were kind of fighting for your life, so maybe you don't feel like... really really bad.

Then, your mind thinks of Jungkook more. Jungkook and Taehyung. Jimin hums to himself as he basks in the hot water, but his peace is about to be interrupted by you. You look at him, and he opens his eyes and looks back. You smirk. He returns it. Jimin pushes you up against the wall and kisses you fiercely, which makes your eyes widen. Looks like you and him were smirking for two completely different reasons. Well shit, who the fuck are you to complain about a hot man pinning you to a wall and making out with you? Oh - and that's without mentioning that all this is happening in a hot shower.

Despite your shock, you kiss him back. Not as hard, but still enough to taste him. He tastes like a combination of dirt and water, and you resist the urge to chuckle against his lips. You tap against his chest. He pulls back, giving you a confused look. "Did I take your breath away already? Sorry, I forgot that I have that affect on people."

You blink at him. His confidence is both the cringiest and hottest thing ever. Regardless, you laugh for a moment. "No, it's not that... it's just we're supposed to be cleansing our sins, not adding new ones to the list."

"We can cleanse them next time."

He kisses you again, and you shrug, this time accepting it. You'll have to bug him about Taehyung and Jungkook when he pulls back next. One of his hands travel down your hips and reaches your ass. He squeezes it, and you smile against his lips. Jimin hungrily licks and sucks at your lips. You can't help but return the hunger. His hand then grabs your thigh and picks up your leg. You let out a muffled breath against his lips, nearly hitting your teeth off of his at the sudden action. You want more. However, after another few seconds, he pulls back. Before he can go back in, you put both of your hands on his chest. He gives you another confused look.

"Cleaning?" you ask, raising a brow.

He pouts. "You're no fun."

You shake your head, fighting off another laugh. "We'll have plenty of time for that if we're going to be staying here for two weeks or more."

He smirks, "Good." You hold out your hand, and he stares at it in confusion for a second before lighting up in understanding. He takes it and brings you against his chest, holding you close and rubbing your back comfortingly.

You sigh in satisfaction, but, you still have a question to ask. "So now since it's just us... want to tell me about the trade you made with Taehyung?"

He's quick to groan. "It's embarrassing."

"More embarrassing than Tae dressing up as a waiter?"

"It's on par with that."

"Well now the curiosity kills. You kind of have to tell me."

"Don't laugh?"

"I can't promise that, but I'll try my hardest not to." You pause when his shoulders slump, him seemingly giving in. "I'm going to guess it has something to do with Jungkook?"

He confirms your theory with an almost unnoticeable nod. "Sadly. It's mortally embarrassing."

"For who?"

"Everyone."

You stifle your laugh, again. "The suspense is killing me."

"Alright so pretty much... it was an eye for an eye."

You raise a brow. "Do you have to be a waiter for Taehyung?"

"This is so embarrassing."

"Whaaaat," you drag out, ignoring the water pounding on your back.

"He wanted to go on a date with Jungkook."

"Obviously, who doesn't?" Jimin blinks at you. "Park Jimin, do not lie to yourself, you have thirsted over Jungkook at least once. At least."

"Okay, I'll admit that Jungkook has his... charms."

"Jimin."

"Yes?"

"He has seduction enhancements now."

Jimin leans back, looking at you with shock. "He does?" You hum. He seems mildly impressed. "Well... that's a mystery tool we'll use later."

"Excuse me?" He laughs, and you can't stop a smile. A smile that he brings out often. As he laughs, you notice he makes little squeaky sounds, and it makes your heart melt. Despite his cuteness, he's not getting out of this. "Alright, so what's so embarrassing about a date?"

He flushes once more. "It's not the date itself... it's what I have to do."

"Tell meee," you whine, and he finally chuckles.

"Okay so he planned this for like... the future. We were planning this for like an entire month after our date."

"And?"

"Yes, I have to wait on them but he wants me to dress up."

"Dress up?"

"He wanted it to be embarrassing since he considered being a waiter embarrassing."

"And what does he want you to dress up as?"

Jimin hesitates before letting his eyes hit the ground. "He wants me to dress up as a maid..." he mumbles. Without even a second of hesitation, you burst out laughing, slipping out of his embrace and nearly falling over. "Hey! You said no laughing!"

"I promised you nothing! I said I would try!" you retort, and he shakes his head.

"He also wants me to put on cat ears."

"Excuse me."

"You heard me."

You blink at him. "Cat ears... and a maid outfit?" He nods. "Are you shitting me?" He shakes his head. You stare at him for a few seconds before sighing. "Can I at least approve of the outfit?"

"No!"

"What? Why not!?" you ask, bewildered.

"That would be even more embarrassing."

"I'm the girlfriend, I'm supposed to laugh at you when you're embarrassed."

He blinks at you. "What?"

"It's only the truth, sorry Chim Chim."

He freezes. "Chim Chim?"

You hum. "I'm just tryna see my man in a maid outfit, is that so hard to ask?"

He offers you his hand, and you take it. He brings you back to his body, rocking you back and forth. "I'm going to pretend you didn't say that."

Oh come on, Jimin should know that it's every girl's secret dream to see their man in a maid outfit. It's pretty hot, to be honest. You laugh at both your own thoughts and Jimin's reaction. "Why a maid?"

"Something about needing entertainment in case it gets awkward."

You tilt your head against his chest, wrapping your arms around his back. "I want to see it."

"I'll take pictures, that's the best you're getting." Ugh, what a stubborn bitch. A cute one, but a stubborn one nonetheless.

When the silence hits, that's when the negative thoughts come back. They always come back. Always. You gently kiss his neck, squeezing him tightly. You still can't believe he's here, to be honest. In front of you. The touch you're giving him feels desperate. Full of desire despite you not wishing for sex right now.

You tremble despite the hot water, thinking about the recent events. You've had the craziest past twenty-four hours of your life, and for half of those hours, you thought Jimin was dead. Being without him scared you. You're so scared yet excited for the months ahead. You know there's still the creatures, and the whole Earth Mars war, but you almost don't want the journey to end. You've both lost and gained so much in this time. But, you gained two of the most important things in your life. Your freedom, and a family.

"Jimin?" you whisper, your voice barely audible over the water.

Jimin pulls back and peeks down into your eyes. You stare at him, and he instantly knows what you're thinking. He wordlessly kisses you, holding your body as close to his as possible. You sigh in relief as he kisses you gently. You engrave the feeling into your mind, and after three seconds, he pulls back and gives you the softest stare you've ever seen. "Hey... don't worry..." he whispers, bringing one hand to your face. He gently presses his hand against your skin, and you smile before he speaks.

"I'm not leaving you... I never will."

~18:09~

Baekhyun watches as Hoseok paces back and forth, chewing on his fingernails. Strange, the Pilot's never seen Hoseok do that before. "Are you okay dude?" Baekhyun asks, leaning against his wall. Hoseok shakes him off but doesn't reply. Baekhyun gives him a puzzled look as he continues to pace. "You're clearly not okay," he says with a small sigh. Hobi stops in the center of Baekhyun's apartment, pressing his body against his kitchen's counter.

"Alright so, there's something I want to tell you."

Baekhyun raises a brow. "Hit me."

Hoseok fiddles with his fingers. "Seulgi and I kissed."

"No shit, we got that impression." Hoseok's eyes widen as if he's seen a ghost. "It was pretty obvious."

"I thought we hid it pretty well!"

"You thought wrong," Baekhyun teases. He enjoys Hoseok's company, he truly does. Yoongi, Hoseok, and Jungkook would have to be his favorites if he were picking. He'd never say that to their faces though. "Speaking of Seulgi, where is she?" Baekhyun asks.

"No clue, why?"

"I think there's something we have to do."

"Is there?" Hobi asks with those curious eyes of his. The curious eyes that had every member of the crew falling in love with him, including Baekhyun.

"It has to do with the last two people who are obviously into each other but won't admit it..."

"Yoongi and Jimin?" Hoseok suggests.

"What?"

"What?"

Baekhyun blinks at Hoseok. "Jimin's into Y/N."

"He's also into Jungkook, Taehyung, and Yoongi," Hoseok replies.

"Wait he's into Taehyung?"

Hoseok gives him an 'are you serious look'. "Yeah, have you not noticed the way he looks at Tae? The tension is so obvious." Baekhyun stares, then, he lets out a breath. At this rate, he's not going to question it.

"I mean Tae and Jungkook. If you want to talk about tension, that's definitely where the tension is."

"Fair point, how would Seulgi help with that?"

"I'm thinking we go out as a group and try to set them up. There's only one problem with this though..." Hoseok raises a brow, so Baekhyun continues his explanation. "Whenever Jungkook's around Y/N, they have this natural pull to each other. Like, this need to dig into everyone's love lives and play Cupid."

Hoseok lights up, "I have a solution." At Baekhyun's questioning gaze that mimics the one Hobi gave, Hoseok brings his comm up to his mouth, adjusting it to only contact Jimin. "Jimin? Do you read me?"

There's a few seconds of silence, then static. "What's up?" Jimin asks, and Hoseok beams.

"Are you and Y/N smashing?"

"Not at the moment, why? Did you want to watch?" Baekhyun sighs, shaking his head. Okay seriously, those two are a little too obnoxious sometimes. Good for them, but bad for the crew. Thank God they aren't on the Moon. Thin walls.

"Ew... oh my God ew... no... can you guys start doing that then?"

"I know the entire crew's been wanting Y/N and I to fuck since day one, but I didn't think you'd literally tell us to. What's going on?"

"Is Y/N around you?"

"If I said no would you believe me?"

Hoseok gives the comm a shrug as if Jimin could see it. "Probably not."

"She's actually next to me, but she's sleeping. That's why we're not fucking, in case you were wondering."

"Alright, let's move away from that topic... we're going out as a group tonight, and I think you should distract Y/N."

"You don't want us to come along?" Jimin asks, and Baekhyun feels bad. The Captain genuinely sounds disappointed. That was never his intention.

"It's not that. It's that we're trying to set up Jungkook and Taehyung."

"Ohhh," Jimin lets out, catching on, "if Y/N's around, Jungkook and her will try and invade everyone's personal lives... gotcha."

Hoseok sighs in relief, as does Baekhyun. "Thanks Captain."

"Y/N and I were actually going to go on a date tonight anyway, so it works out. How about all nine of us go out to dinner some time?" Baekhyun's eyes widen, and he rapidly shakes his head. Hoseok gives him a 'what?' stare that has Baekhyun mentally facepalming.

"Sure... yeah, I'd be fine with that."

"Alright, well, good luck tonight."

"You too." He turns off the comm, then gazes at Baekhyun. "What?"

"Dinner with all nine of us? Us? The chaos would be unreal..." Baekhyun says, his eyes widening.

"I think it'll be nice to have chaos that isn't gunfire and Belt ships closing in on us." Baekhyun winces, closing his eyes. He still can hear the gunshots from Triton, let alone the fear he felt flying the Moonchild towards the battleship. "You okay?" Hoseok asks.

"I will be," Baekhyun whispers back, but that's a lie. A huge one.

The death of the Hep was the first strike for Baekhyun, then the second strike was Triton. And now, Ganymede, the entire war he didn't just witness but fought in? That's the third strike. His anger eats away at him little by little, more and more everyday. He can't help but wonder: why him? He only wanted to fly a stupid transport vessel carrying stupid ice to a stupid planet. That's all he ever wanted in his life, but now, he's made into a main character in the solar system's deadliest war.

He wishes he never saw anything that's happened this past month. He wishes that he could go back to the Hep, even though he knows it's a stupid desire. Everything seems to have crashed and burned in his life. The only hope he has left anymore is that Earth can be better. He hates himself for thinking it, but part of him wishes Namjoon never selected him for the mission. Part of him wishes he was on the Hep instead.

"Alright, I'll choose to believe you. I'll call the others. Meet me in the lobby in say, ten?" Hoseok asks, and Baekhyun nods.

"I'll get changed," he replies, pushing himself off of his wall as Hoseok approaches him.

"Hey... you sure you're going to be okay?" Baekhyun meets Hoseok's eyes. He wants to scream, break down and cry, tell Hoseok every single thought that has been on his mind since day one. Instead, he gives the boy a fake smile and nods.

"Yeah, yeah I'm sure."

~18:19~

Jungkook can't believe he let Hoseok talk him into this.

The crew walks out of the apartment complex together, laughing and bonding. Being out of the war and laughing again is the best feeling ever, but Jungkook can't help but think there's deeper intentions here. Hoseok making a plan for everyone except for Y/N and Jimin to get together is weird. What exactly is he planning? Jungkook can't quite put his finger on it, but he decides against worrying about it too much as they walk down the sidewalk, four people in front, three in the back.

Hoseok, Seulgi, Jin, and Baekhyun walk in the front. Jungkook, Taehyung, and Yoongi are in the back. Yoongi is limping, but his enhancements sped up his healing cycle. He's still injured, out from the field for weeks, but he can walk. "Let us know if it ever becomes too much," Jungkook says.

Yoongi shakes him off. Not a surprise. "According to the doctors it's nothing serious, the bullet went clean through. I was lucky, is what they said. Hip shots are normally dangerous, but this one was less severe. It didn't even fracture my hip."

"Really? Are you sure that's not just your enhancements doing their job?"

"It's possible, but for now, I'm going to limp my way to... wait, where are we going?"

Taehyung smiles, and Jungkook melts at the sight. He's really fond of Tae. Jungkook blushes at his thoughts. Fond? He's beyond fond at this point. "I have no idea where we're going," Taehyung replies. Taehyung stands in the middle with Jungkook on the right and Yoongi on the left. The other four lead the way, laughing amongst each other and engaged in some deep conversation. "I don't know if they know where we're going either. It's totally possible we end up in a ditch somewhere soon," Taehyung adds with a small sigh.

"Shouldn't I be leading the way? I'm the only one that's actually been to Ganymede before," Jungkook says, puzzled.

"Are you really assuming Hoseok was thinking about that when making his plans?" Yoongi asks back. Jungkook can't disagree with that.

"Hey Hobi, where are we going?" Taehyung asks, and the accused boy turns his head.

"It's a surprise," he says.

"But you actually know where you're taking us, right?" Jungkook asks. The Agent snickers, but doesn't reply. Jungkook watches closely as Hoseok and Seulgi walk next to each other. He may only be at half of his power since Y/N isn't here, but his Cupid heart is pounding. Hold hands, hold hands, hold hands, Jungkook mentally cheers.

Taehyung notices his gaze and clears his throat. "You okay?" Jungkook motions to Seulgi and Hoseok's hands, only centimeters apart.

"They won't hold hands," Jungkook whispers. "And I'm not sure how to get them to do it, it's hard when Y/N isn't here. I'm the shipper, she's the planner."

"Excuse me?" Yoongi asks.

Jungkook hums, "I point out the ships, Y/N puts them together. It's like a gun: I give her the proper ammo, she pulls the trigger." Taehyung shrugs, then hesitates. "What is it?" Jungkook asks.

Taehyung cautiously entwines his hand with Jungkook's. He goes pale, his ears starting to turn red. "W-Well if they're not going to hold hands, then maybe we should," Taehyung mutters.

Yoongi looks between the two of them, then raises a brow, his expression blank other than his singular brow. "Are you two dating?" he asks.

Jungkook nearly trips over his own feet at the question. He's always been questioning his feelings for everyone, but Yoongi phrasing it so simply... it made his heart skip a beat. Does he have feelings for Taehyung? No, that can't be it. He's barely over Y/N, how can he already have feelings for someone else? Or maybe that's exactly it. Maybe in a way, he needs to have feelings for someone else. After everything he's been through, he almost feels like he deserves to have feelings for someone else.

"Yeah of course we're dating, Jimin's cheating on Jungkook, so I promised him I never would," Taehyung explains, although Jungkook can sense the nervousness radiating off of the boy. Yoongi shrugs but doesn't press. Jungkook gives Taehyung's hand a squeeze before looking around the streets. There's not too much life, everyone's still in shock from the recent attack. The bodies and blood have been cleaned up, which Jungkook is grateful for. It would really put a damper on their good mood if there was the aftermath of a war all around them.

"Okay, so you know I have to ask," Jungkook says, glancing over at Taehyung and Yoongi. "On a scale of one to ten... how attractive am I?"

"Three," Yoongi replies without even the tiniest hesitation.

Jungkook fakes a look of hurt. Taehyung appears more offended than Jungkook. "Okay wait a second," Taehyung starts, then, to Jungkook's surprise, he grabs the Executive's white t-shirt and lifts it up. Jungkook's skin yelps, forming goosebumps as his chest is momentarily exposed. Taehyung's eyes jump, and he drops the shirt. "Yeah, this man is a ten. A perfect ten," he mumbles, turning red and looking down.

"Okay... five," Yoongi says, still looking rather expressionless. They fall back into a short silence as Hoseok guides them to stand in front of a medium-sized, rectangular building. Jungkook's eyes widen. Laser tag.

"They're in the middle of cleaning up a war, you really think they're letting people play laser tag?" Yoongi asks, yawning.

"They do if you're the group of people that blew up a battleship for them," Hoseok says.

"You called ahead?" Jungkook asks.

"I did, the owner was around, making sure everything was still intact. He offered to book us while he was there, said he didn't have much else going on."

Well shit, he can't argue with that. "Fair enough, are we teaming or...?"

Hoseok smirks. "Teams of two."

"There's seven of us," Yoongi replies emotionlessly, blinking at the boy.

"You only count as like, half a person - you're injured," Jin says, and Hosoek nods in agreement.

"Jungkook and Taehyung, Seulgi and me, then Jin, Baekhyun, and Yoongi," Hoseok explains, smiling brightly as he's known to do.

"I may be injured but my aim is still much better than Jin's," Yoongi mumbles.

Jin shoots the man a glare. "Ask Jungkook - my aim wasn't so bad when I was saving his life!"

Jungkook throws his free hand up. "Leave me out of this, I'm just an innocent bystander."

Jin scoffs, then enters the building. The others shrug and follow him inside, leaving Jungkook, Taehyung, and Yoongi standing out there, looking like idiots. "I don't get paid enough for this," Yoongi complains before stepping in.

He glances at Taehyung, who shrugs. "Jin and Yoongi bicker more than Jimin and Y/N."

Jungkook hums in agreement. "Maybe they're secretly married or something."

"Like us?"

Jungkook hides his blushing face. Is it really a secret? "Yeah, sure... like us."

Taehyung goes quiet for a moment as Jungkook regains his will to live. "Ready to go in?" Taehyung asks. Jungkook lets out a short breath before meeting Taehyung's eyes. His heartbeat speeds up, but he ignores it to instead nod.

"As ready as I'll ever be."
