A/N: Oh my God he's so pretty wtf I stared at this for 55 minutes before deciding to edit.

The cutest, fluffiest chapter I have to offer since we could all use a break from whatever the fuck the part 2 finale was

~The Next Day || 10:21~

"Wait, Jimin needs glasses?"

Y/N chuckles. "Of course he does, why do you think he's so clumsy? He can't see." Jungkook blinks, watching as the Captain rubs his eyes, putting the black frames back on his face.

"Why didn't he just get the operation?" Jungkook asks.

"What operation?" Y/N asks.

"Popular on Earth, if you don't have 20/20 vision there's a special surgery you can get to improve your eyesight so you don't need glasses or contacts," Hoseok explains.

Y/N nods in understanding, even letting out a small 'huh' in amazement. "So he's needed glasses this whole time, and I never noticed?" Jungkook asks.

"Oh yeah, sometimes he'd fall asleep with his contacts in. It's always hilarious the next morning when he panics and tries to salvage them." Jungkook sits in front of the console, Hoseok next to him and Y/N across from him. They all watch as Jimin paces around the bridge, dazed and confused. Poor guy.

"Is he okay?"

Y/N shrugs. "We went four rounds last night, he's probably tired."

Jungkook blinks at her. "We know. We all heard you. We couldn't sleep either."

She smirks. "Good."

"Ew," Hoseok says with a gag.

"Get his attention or something, he looks messed up," Y/N mutters.

"Hey Y/N?" Jungkook asks loudly, causing Jimin to stop pacing for a moment.

"What's up, Kookie?"

"I want sex." Jimin slowly turns his head towards the group. Y/N stares at Jungkook and blinks, unsure of how to react.

"You want sex, Kook?" Jimin asks, and he gulps in response, nodding. "Alright, stay right there. Y/N, get on all fours."

"Excuse me?" Jungkook asks.

Jimin keeps his gaze on Jungkook. "You want sex, right? I'll fuck her right in front of you. You can listen to who she screams for." Without another word, he goes back to pacing and mumbling to himself.

Jungkook sighs. "He's still broken."

"Two days away from the Belt, two days," Jimin murmurs, still pacing.

"Yeah no, he's not okay. He needs a hug."

"On it," Y/N says, hopping up and going over to him.

"There, I got her away from us. What's up with you?" Hoseok asks.

Jungkook chuckles, watching as Y/N stops Jimin and makes him turn around. "Not too much, just waiting for our inevitable stop at the Belt where we'll fight pirates. Are we getting paid for this?"

"What do you think?"

Jungkook huffs. "No."

Hoseok snickers, giving Jungkook's elbow a nudge. "On the bright side, at least we'll be one step closer to Earth. One step closer to maybe settling down for a bit."

"Wait, you want to go to Earth? You?"

Hoseok shakes his head. "Not in the slightest, I hate Earth more than probably everyone here combined, but where else am I gonna go? Ganymede? Nah, I don't want to get wrapped up in that again. Mars? They'd probably slap me for daring to stand on their planet. Sturgeon? Trapped on a station my whole life? Nope. Callisto? Another one of Jupiter's Moons that's just starting their own civilizations? What's the point, they're all the same. At least on Earth I'll have a family to go back to, and a family surrounding me."

Jungkook softly smiles. Hoseok returns it. Jungkook peeks up in time to see Y/N hugging Jimin. Jungkook's heart goes still, his smile becoming even wider. Jimin holds her close, resting his chin on top of her head. His and her eyes are closed, enjoying the moment. Jungkook watches closely, his body filling with warmth at the sight. Hoseok stares at Jungkook as a look of longing appears in the Executive's eyes.

"Go get him," Hoseok whispers, reading Jungkook's mind. Jungkook clears his throat, feeling tears burn at his eyes. He stands, giving Hoseok a grateful nod before strolling down into the main bay. Jungkook goes up the ladder, making sure he doesn't go too fast so his enhancements don't go off. He locates Tae's room and barges inside, not bothering with knocking. Tae jumps, whipping around. He stands right in the middle of the room, a brush in his hand.

Before he has any time to question what's going on, Jungkook closes the door behind him and crosses the room. Within the blink of an eye, Jungkook's lips are on Tae's. Although he's shocked, he doesn't complain: he kisses back. Jungkook doesn't want to escalate anything, he only wants to enjoy being in Taehyung's presence. It's clear the boy feels the same way.

Taehyung pulls back, smiling. "Well good morning to you too. What brings my dashing boyfriend here?" Taehyung asks.

Jungkook lets his bunny smile show. "I wanted to see you." Taehyung chuckles, caressing Jungkook's cheek with his hand. "I love you," Jungkook whispers.

Tae breaks out in a boxy smile. "I love you too."

Jungkook has never been happier. He honestly wouldn't care if he had one day left. He's with the boy of his dreams, he got his best friend back, he has a true family for the first time in his life, he got away from the Belt for good... what's there to complain about? Okay, so he's dying. There's nothing he can do about it. All he wants to do is enjoy the ride.

"Did you come here to apologize?" Tae asks. Jungkook instantly panics. Oh gosh, what did he do? They've never had a full blown fight before. They've had small things. Tae has gotten slightly jealous over Jimin ogling Jungkook's booty a few times (can you blame him though), and Tae gets annoyed over Kook's constant need for competition, but it also goes the same way. Taehyung can get very attention-needy sometimes. Jungkook loves it when Tae's cute and clingy, but some nights he needs to relax. They've solved all these issues already like adults. Or at least, semi-adults. Most of the time it ends with a thumb war to determine who's the winning side, but for the small percent of times that it doesn't end in a war, they solve it by talking.

"W-What did I do?" Jungkook asks with a gulp.

"You stole my heart."

Jungkook pokes his tongue against his cheek. "You couldn't see it, but I mentally gagged."

"Oh no, I definitely saw it. Your eyes tell, love. Your eyes tell." Jungkook rolls his eyes, shaking his head with a small smile. "I'm jealous of you, you know that?" Tae suddenly says, causing Jungkook to be left in confusion yet again.

"What? Why?"

Tae shrugs, backing away. "I mean come on, your boyfriend is definitely hotter than mine." Jungkook pauses for a moment, thinking about his words. It takes him a whole ten seconds to understand what Taehyung is saying.

Oh this little bitch.

Instead of showing his anger, he decides to tease him back. "You're right, Jimin is hotter than me." Taehyung's mouth falls open. Jungkook smirks, giving him an intense gaze.

"But is he hotter than me?" Taehyung asks, stepping closer. Jungkook takes a step back, hitting the door and eyeing Tae's every move. The boy smirks back, entering Jungkook's personal space.

"I think his dirty mind has rubbed off on you too much," Jungkook says.

"Or maybe that was yours." Taehyung immediately kisses Jungkook again, and it escalates in a heartbeat.

Within a matter of seconds, Taehyung's enhancements are glowing a bright gray as he gets to work. He nearly tosses Jungkook on his bed, keeping his smirk plastered on his face while he watches Jungkook adjust. Just as Tae's about to continue with his onslaught of kisses, Jungkook grabs him and turns the tide, his cheeks glowing a soft blue. As much as Jungkook can tell it pains Tae to see him using his enhancements, they both know he can't stop it.

"You didn't really think I'd let you be in charge today, did you?" Jungkook asks, causing Tae to shiver. He loves the sight. He really, really does. Jungkook genuinely believes this man is his soulmate. He may have little experience when it comes to relationships, but Taehyung is special. No one has ever made him feel this way. Jungkook may be young, but he's far from stupid (probably). He loves this man more than anything.

"I was kind of hoping," Tae whispers back as Jungkook grabs his hips. He smirks, hovering his face over Tae's.

"We have all day, do you want me to take my time with you?" Tae's too strong to give in, so he gives his lower lip a playful bite.

"Actually, I think I should take my time with you."

Jungkook keeps Tae pinned, staring right into his eyes. "Oh yeah?" Tae hums, scanning down Jungkook's body. The Executive only smirks. "Then do it."

~14:12~

Baekhyun slows to a stop, panting and looking over at Seulgi, who's mostly unaffected. "How the hell are you still going?" the Pilot asks.

"Track?" Jin guesses, but she shakes her head.

"When I was in rehab, I picked up running as a hobby." It's hard to hear her over the treadmill, but Baekhyun can still make out what she's saying pretty well. "The runner's high was the thing that got me through my recovery." She keeps jogging, holding up her arm to show her marks. "It worked pretty well if you ask me."

Hoseok stares at his girlfriend in amazement. "Can we appreciate my beautiful girl for not only being able to run this long but also for being able to talk while this is happening?"

Baekhyun snickers, as does Jin. Taehyung is in the corner, doing some bicep curls with a fifteen pound dumbbell. Most of the crew is here. Well, everyone except Jungkook, Jimin, and Y/N. If Baekhyun were a betting man, he'd guess Jungkook is desperately trying to hide from Y/N and Jimin. Let's face it: they're probably fucking. Poor Jungkook really has to deal with their constant horniness.

Yoongi is watching from the bench, lying down on it and trying to sleep for some reason. Why he thought the gym was a good place to sleep is... actually, it's best to not even finish that thought. Baekhyun grabs his towel and wipes off his sweat, going over to Jin.

"My turn," Baekhyun says, and Jin pouts before agreeing, handing the jump rope to him.

"Didn't you just work on your stamina?" Jin asks, raising a brow.

"You can have the treadmill."

"I don't like running."

"Obviously, everyone can see that."

Seulgi turns off her treadmill, panting and slowing to a stop. She brings her water to her mouth and starts to drink, closing her eyes. Hoseok brings his eyes up to her and drops his own water bottle, his mouth falling open. She doesn't notice, she simply keeps drinking. Baekhyun playfully scoffs, shaking his head in disbelief. Hoseok is so whipped for that girl it's honestly unbelievable.

She lets out an 'ah' as she screws the cap back on the bottle, hopping down from the machine. She pats Jin on the shoulder as she strolls away. "You know, you could just practice your stamina on Anya," Seulgi says.

"What about me?" Anya asks from the corner of the room, eyeing her enhancements in the mirror.

Jin trips over his own words, averting his eyes. "I-I have no idea what you're talking about."

Seulgi eyes him up and down, raising a brow before smirking. "Uh huh." She struts away without giving him another glance, and Hoseok follows like a little duckling.

Baekhyun shrugs to himself, holding the handles of the jump rope in his hand. "Can you count for me?" he asks Jin, who scoffs.

"I'm standing here looking like this and you're asking me to count? Me? My gorgeous beautiful self?"

"Can we please put him in an escape pod?" Sapphire asks, groaning and burying her head into her hands. Yoongi perks up at the sound of her voice.

"Who bothered you, Saph?" he asks, half-asleep. She chuckles, kneeling in front of him. He softly smiles at her, clearly in his little happy place. Honestly, Baekhyun finds it adorable.

"So everyone in the crew is taken except like who? Jin, Anya, and Baekhyun?" Taehyung asks with his cute boxy smile, peeking around the room.

"Apparently," Sapphire says.

"Anya, you looking for anyone right now?" Seulgi asks, immediately eyeing Jin. Baekhyun notices the gaze and stifles his laugh. The entire crew made a pact to get Jin and Anya together as soon as possible, but nothing is working. They're either extremely stubborn or extremely blind. They're both hot and they click pretty well. Almost like an 'opposites attract' situation. Jin is a narcissist who makes dad jokes, Anya is an insecure, kind soul. They bounce off of each other perfectly. Baekhyun can tell there's at least a high level of respect there.

"Not necessarily. After Alice I haven't really thought about it," she replies as her enhancements start to fade away. She touches her cheeks, amazed at the process. "Do you think these leggings make me look fat?" she asks Seulgi, who looks offended.

"Girl what? You're like a twig, you better be joking. The only fat thing I see is your ass." Anya snickers at that, brightly smiling.

"You're beautiful, Anya," Jin says, causing the two to lock eyes. She goes still for a moment, and so does Jin. They both just stare. Baekhyun meets Seulgi's eyes, and she looks aggravated. As if her mind is screaming 'my God just fuck already'. Baekhyun can't help but agree. It's painfully obvious.

"Thank you," Anya finally replies, shyly smiling and tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear. Jin gets shy as well, averting his gaze as his ears turn red. Ugh, this is beyond frustrating.

"Baekhyun? How about you?" Seulgi asks.

The Pilot shrugs, starting his jump rope session. "If it happens it happens," he says in between breaths. He mentally counts for himself, not paying as much attention to the chatter around him. Sapphire's quietly talking with Yoongi, Hoseok's staring at Seulgi as she mentally tries to pair Jin and Anya up, Taehyung's in the corner doing his curls still. The whole crew is having a blast.

Baekhyun falls back into his mind, thinking about the whole situation they're in. Is he still nervous about risking his life? Yeah, beyond nervous. He doesn't particularly want to, but he learned something through this journey. He learned that his family is more important to him than even himself. Baekhyun wouldn't know the true definition of love and acceptance if it wasn't for the crew surrounding him.

"You really don't have your eyes on anyone?" Sapphire asks in disbelief.

Baekhyun shakes his head. "Who would I have my eyes on? Y/N? You? Seulgi?"

Sapphire shrugs. "I see your point." Baekhyun keeps going, completely zoning out and losing track of time until Jin claps his hands in front of his face. Baekhyun jumps and lands on his ass, grunting.

"Really?" Baekhyun asks with a huff, glaring up at Jin.

"It's been much longer than a minute, sweetheart."

"I thought you were too pretty to count?"

"It is a peasants job, but I was feeling nice today."

"Nice enough to help me up?" Jin scoffs, but after a moment, he offers Baekhyun his hand. The Pilot takes it, hopping up to his feet. "You ready to see the Belt?" Baekhyun asks, giving him a nod of thanks.

Jin nods back. "From what I've heard, it sounds as fun as my dad jokes."

"On a scale of one to ten, how screwed do we think the Belt is?" Sapphire asks.

"Ten," Yoongi sleepily replies.

"Thirteen," Baekhyun replies with a shrug. The Belt isn't exactly the strongest place in the galaxy; those pirates are fucking them up pretty badly.

"Can we all be honest for a minute?" Seulgi suddenly says, causing everyone to stop what they're doing and turn towards the girl. She sighs, shaking her head. "Is anyone nervous?" she asks, her voice barely above a whisper. There's silence in the room for a few moments, and Baekhyun fears it will go on forever. The quiet is devastating, but he can't form words. Of course he's nervous. How can he not be? The Belt is an awful place. The last time he was there he got jumped and was only saved because Jungkook showed up at the right time. Granted, the odds of them attacking their saviors are slim to none, but it's still a memory that haunts him.

Baekhyun snaps himself out of his thoughts, choosing not to let them overwhelm him right now. That's the last thing he needs. Every time he lets that happen, he always blows up. He's working on that, and he's happy to say he's gotten better. Baekhyun looks around the room, noticing that even after five seconds, no one has answered. He's about to speak to save Seulgi the awkwardness, but a voice beats him to it.

"I'm terrified," Jin admits, and Yoongi is quick to agree.

"I was just getting used to this basic, boring life. Now we're rushing right back in?" Yoongi pauses to let out a shaky breath. "I like helping people, but I wish there were other people for this job sometimes. It's obviously not Jimin's fault, he's doing the right thing and I agree with him, but this galaxy needs a military for everyone. This is getting out of hand how we have to solve literally everyone's problems."

The entire crew's in agreement, so no one says anything else. It's mutually agreed that everyone is beyond nervous for their upcoming mission. With so much right around the corner, how can they sit still? Earth, the place that's haunted many of the crew for years. They're going back to it. Jungkook only has a few months left. The Belt. The Earth Mars War inevitably starting back up again. Baekhyun isn't sure how to feel. However, one look around tells him everyone shares that thought. He softly smiles to himself. For once, his fear is shared.

For once... he's not alone.

~14:22~

"Together?"

She gazes at Jimin with precious eyes that he can stare at forever. He can't help himself: he gives her nose a small peck. She giggles, the sound flooding his heart with warmth. After a beat, she turns her attention back to the screen, but he keeps staring at her. Y/N scrolls down the screen, her finger hovering over the button. It takes her a moment to realize he's not moving forward, so she peeks back at him and meets his loving gaze.

She stares back, softly smiling. He can see her heart melting in her eyes. "Can I kiss you?" she asks, and he's taken aback.

"In what universe would I say no to that?"

"Definitely not this one." She leans forward, and he meets her halfway. They briefly kiss, her hand coming up to cup his cheek. The kiss is short but leaves bliss in his body. He can't even contain his feelings anymore. Whenever he's around her, they burst. He could lose everything in the world. His body, his friends, his family, whatever. But if he has her, he knows he'll be okay eventually. Even if it takes a decade, he'd be okay as long as she is.

She pulls away, locking eyes with him. "Are you ready to take our relationship to the next level?" she whispers, her breath hitting his lips.

He feels tears sting at his eyes as he sniffles. Maybe he's being dramatic, but he never thought he'd get here. Not just with his girlfriend, either. A captain for arguably the most famous crew in the system. Speaking with leaders all the time and being seen as an important person. For the first time in his life, Jimin's making a difference. Both within his own crew and the solar system. When he reflects on the hardships he went through, he realizes how many he saved in the process. Sure, he suffered, but because he suffered, others didn't have to. And for him, that's enough.

"Oh God," is the only answer he can muster.

She smiles, brushing her thumb across his cheek. "It's okay. Take your time, okay?"

He gives her an eye smile. "I can't believe this is happening."

"Me too Mochi, me too. We're doing everything from here on out together. Well, we always were, but now it's official."

He keeps his eyes on hers, admiring her true beauty. She's just so beautiful. In every way. He's amazed at his luck. It's one thing to survive the Hep, another to have had a great father figure like Namjoon, another to become the damn Captain of the Moonchild, another to have the perfect family around himm but having her? What luck is that? He gives her another quick peck, unable to help himself.

"Let's do this," he whispers, finally turning to the hologlobe sitting in front of them.

After months of looking and taking virtual tours, they finally decided. They're going to buy a nice house for themselves out in the outskirts, away from the cities. It's quite literally distanced away from everything: it's surrounded by open grass, perfect for stargazing and cloud watching. It's big, but seeing as they're kind of rich celebrities, money is no issue for them anymore. Jimin has never seen so many zeroes in his bank account before. There's so many in there that just him alone could afford a whole ass mansion. Imagine if the entire crew chipped in. They could be living in Beverly Hills.

It's two stories with a balcony, built with a somewhat Victorian style. Primarily white paint with a gray roof, a study, three bedrooms, four baths (including their master bathroom), a living room, garage, a large kitchen, some walk in closets; everything they'll ever need and more. It's perfect, truly perfect. He looks at the girl next to him, all bundled up in one of his hoodies, snuggled up against his side. He's never been so in love. He's always known it, but this is really his main realization. This is it for him. This is his one. His soulmate.

He glances down at her promise ring, then he averts his eyes to the locket hanging off her neck. She decided to use that beautiful brain of hers and put the key Jimin gave her a while back with the locket. So there's the heart and the key. It's strangely symbolic. His eyes trail down to the friendship bracelet peeking out from under his hoodie's sleeve, and he smiles. The two people she loves most she brings with her every day. Jimin wishes he had something he can wear of Jungkook's. He's going to have to take some pictures so he can make a whole collage one day and hang it in their house.

He glances back at the screen, peering at the blue button. This is it; this is where they place their deposit. They place the deposit, it's pretty much theirs. All that's left is dotting the i's and crossing the t's. He stares at the picture of the large house and smiles.

"Fuck," he mutters in disbelief. Looking at this house in front of him? He can honestly see it as the place he spends the rest of his life. With her. Only with her.

"Together?" she says again, and he hums.

"On the count of three?" She nods, and in-sync, they put their fingers up. They hover right above the blue button, which will put down a ten percent deposit for the house. A pretty penny, but one they won't feel. They kind of have a bit of a shared account going on, they worked it out after deciding to pay for the house together. Jimin knew Y/N physically wouldn't let him pay for the house on his own, so they set up the shared account. Yeah no, Jimin didn't want to risk death.

"One..." she whispers, peeping at him for a brief moment.

"Two..." he whispers back, meeting her gaze.

They both stare at the screen, letting out a shaky breath. "Three," they say together, pressing their fingers on the button. The screen loads, and soon enough, there's confetti and green checkmarks on their screen. Y/N lets out a cheer as soon as it happens, and so does Jimin. Somehow they ended up entangled together on the bed, hugging and kissing each other's faces rapidly.

"I love you. I love you. I love you," Jimin whispers between his barrage of kisses on her cheeks.

"I love you. I love you. I love you," she replies teasingly, laughing as he keeps his body close to hers.

He pulls his head away for a moment to meet her eyes, smiling. "I love you."

She rolls her eyes but keeps her smile. "You said that already. Quite a few times, actually."

"It's the truth. I love you. I love you more than anything in this whole damn galaxy, and knowing that you and I are about to start a new part of our lives? A nine to five job in a beautiful house?" She shakes her head, her nose scrunching up cutely due to her giant smile. "It makes me go crazy. I can't even describe how crazy you make me, Y/N."

"Well then we agree. I love you too, Min. So much, more than I can show or say."

He kisses her softly, enjoying her warmth and letting his legs get entwined with hers. "Oh my God, we're about to buy a house together," he mutters, pulling back as the realization hits him.

She laughs. "Isn't that crazy to think about?"

"Absolutely insane."

They're actually going to move in together. Not too much longer. Jimin's dream is becoming a reality, and he's never been happier in his entire life. This time he means that. Nothing can beat this feeling, even sex. This happiness can't be produced anywhere else. He truly believes that. Y/N is like his daily dose of serotonin.

"I can't wait. This is actually amazing," he murmurs, and she hums in agreement. "Can you imagine living there for the rest of our lives? Having normal jobs, some kids, married, maybe a dog or two," he says, letting his dreams out. She fiddles with her fingers, averting her eyes. "What?"

"Do you want to get a dog?"

His eyes widen. "Do you?"

"I asked you first."

He chuckles. "I used to have a dog, many many years ago. When he passed away, I didn't think I'd ever want another dog again But you have a tendency to make bad memories good ones, so yeah, fuck it. Let's get a dog." She squeals, kissing his cheek repeatedly for several seconds. He laughs and gives in, letting her kiss him over and over again. After she dials down, she sighs, her hand going to her neck.

She brushes her thumb over her locket, then, she lights up. "Hey, can you sit up for me?" He doesn't question it, he simply does as she says. She scooches away, grabbing her phone from off of his nightstand and humming to herself as she taps on the hologram.

"What are you doing?" he asks, raising a single brow.

She holds up the phone. "Give me your best model pose, Min!" He's confused as hell, but gives in regardless. He stares right into the camera, watching as she takes probably too many photos, but he's not complaining. "Now laugh at something I said!" He looks at her cute face and breaks out smiling, the smile quickly turning into a laugh of pure joy. She takes what he swears are a hundred photos before she hums, satisfied. She crawls back over to him, snuggling up on his chest and holding the phone up. He looks into the camera, holding up a peace sign that she mimics as she takes one picture.

She squeals in joy, kissing his cheek before scrolling through her gallery. "All this time together and this is our first official picture together. That's amazing."

"We're breaking all kinds of records today, aren't we?" he asks. She giggles, fiddling with her phone. "Everything okay, babe?"

She nods rapidly. "Better than okay. Look!" She points the screen towards him, and their picture pops out.

"Please send that to me. Please. That's my new favorite picture." She agrees, but upon closer inspection, he knits his brows together. "Wait, did you make it your wallpaper?"

"You're the love of my life, of course I did."

"W-What?"

"Of course I did," she replies, nuzzling up against his chest.

"No no, the first part... repeat it." She gets shy, but he rubs her back. "Don't be shy. Tell me."

She still pauses for a moment. "You're the love of my life," she mutters, hiding her face.

He softly laughs, butterflies exploding through his entire body. "I fucking love you, baby girl. I always will."

She peeks up at him, keeping her hand on his neck. "I love you too." For a few more moments, they go quiet, then, she clears her throat. "Do you want to like... I don't know, make out for half an hour?" He immediately presses his lips against hers. After a few seconds, he pulls back.

"You read my mind."

~22:10~

"So what if the crew bought a mansion together?"

Yoongi glances up at that, mouth nearly falling open. "You want us to move into a mansion?" Sapphire asks, cuddling up next to Yoongi.

"Well I mean, think about it," Jimin says, holding his hands out as if that makes his point clear. "We're rich. And let's be honest, are even half of you buying your own houses when we get to Earth?" At everyone's silence, Jimin blinks. "Are any of you even sure where the hell you're going to stay once we get to Earth?" Again, no answer. Yoongi never thought that far.

"So a nice big mansion for us. I like that idea," Sapphire says, placing her hand on Yoongi's shoulder. He smiles at her, giving her cheek a small peck. He's new to all this physical affection stuff, but he likes it. He likes exploring it with her. She makes him feel comfortable enough to adventure like this. He's grateful she's by his side. He couldn't ask for a better partner in crime.

"Yeah. Think about it: Hoseok and Seulgi can stay in one room together, Jungkook and Tae can have their own room, same with Sapphire and Yoongi." Yoongi freezes, but Sapphire beams at the idea. They've only slept in the same bed a couple times now; he's not sure how he feels about that. At the same time, there's still another two weeks until they get to Earth. He can try sleeping with her more often. He definitely feels safe and calm when she's around. Just knowing she's alright puts him at ease. "Oh yeah, and of course Jin and Anya can take a room too."

"Excuse me?" Anya asks.

"Yeah, what?" Jin asks from his corner. The greenhouse is packed tonight, literally the entire crew is here. Taehyung and Jungkook are idly talking off to the side, Y/N is playing with the rose Jimin grew for her, Anya and Jin are standing in the corner listening, Yoongi and Sapphire are sitting in front of a table, Baekhyun is pretending none of the crew exists, Hoseok and Seulgi are playing tag, and of course Jimin is standing in the center of it all. Drama king much?

Jimin shrugs. "Just saying. Anyway, mansion?"

"Wait but aren't you and Y/N buying a house together?" Sapphire asks, which the Captain hums to.

"Yeah, but that doesn't mean we won't visit. I mean come on, if you buy a mansion, there'll be a pool. We all know that pool sex hits different."

"I'm never swimming again," Yoongi grumbles, which Sapphire giggles to.

"He's not wrong."

Yoongi peeks at her. "You've had pool sex before?"

"No, but I'm sure I will if we buy that mansion..."

Yoongi breaks out in a coughing fit, stumbling over himself and keeping his eyes on the ground as Sapphire and Jimin laugh. The two high-five, making Yoongi glare at Jimin.

"Did you just high-five my girl?"

"Oooh possessive Yoongi. Feisty," Sapphire says, waggling her eyebrows.

"Now you know how I felt when I heard you calling my girl Muffin."

"She is my Muffin though!"

"I heard Muffin?" Y/N asks, heading over to them.

She pitter-patters her way into Jimin's arms, giving him a kiss in greeting before hugging him and closing her eyes. Okay, even Yoongi has to admit that they look cute together. They really do. The way Jimin holds onto her like letting go means she'll disappear, the way she closes her eyes and embraces his body, the way they always support each other but also know when to joke around. Yoongi can tell that their time on Ganymede together really impacted them. Whether it be from Jimin thinking she was dead or them living together, they definitely seem closer than they used to be.

"Yoongi was talking about how you're his Muffin," Jimin whispers to her, and she hums.

"I am his Muffin," she says as he rocks her back and forth.

"My God, they're so cute together when they're not being horny," Sapphire mumbles, causing Yoongi to smile. She's not wrong. Looks like she's a bit of a Cupid herself. Both her and Anya. The crew shares a small moment of silence. Well, everyone except for Hoseok and Seulgi, who are still playing tag. Yoongi almost wants to join in. Mostly to have an excuse to tackle Hoseok, but it's the thought that counts.

"You know what? I like the mansion idea. We should start looking," Baekhyun says, which surprises everyone. They thought he was ignoring them. For good reason, but still. They're all surprised he's paying attention at all. Yoongi is barely paying attention and he's right in the middle of it. "We can all split the payment. We all have our own bank accounts after all."

"Some of us aren't rich and famous," Sapphire says, motioning to herself and Anya.

"Speak for yourself. I may not be famous but I was a lead researcher, of course I'm rich," Anya replies.

Sapphire looks offended. "We had very similar positions, I was only one step down from you but you're rich and I'm not?"

Anya shrugs. "All of Alice's money went to me."

"She had a will?"

Anya bites her lower lip. "I think she uh, didn't expect to make it out of Ganymede alive so yeah, yeah she did. I almost didn't accept the money, but I realized that I could use it to help those in need."

Jin smiles at her, pride gleaming in his eyes. Okay, it's so obvious he likes her even Yoongi can tell. Min motherfucking Yoongi. The one who took eighty four years to confess to Sapphire. How the hell does Yoongi know Jin's feelings before he knows his own? That seems ridiculous to him. Oh well, Yoons will have to fight harder to get the pair together since Anya is definitely warming up to Jin too.

Taehyung and Jungkook approach, Jungkook going right for Baekhyun while Tae comes and sits down next to Yoongi. Jimin stares at them in confusion. "Hey guys," Jimin says, and the two nod.

"We miss anything?" Kook asks.

"We're thinking of buying a mansion," Jimin says, causing Tae to perk up.

"Really? Wait, but aren't you and Y/N moving in together?"

Jimin glances at Y/N, who stares back. They both have dumb grins on their faces. Jimin gives her a quick peck. "We actually just put the deposit down for our house today."

They crew starts clapping, catching the attention of Hoseok and Seulgi. "Congrats you two!" Sapphire shouts. Yoongi grins until his gums show. She's literally the cutest thing.

The crew takes turns hugging the couple, but it eventually turns into a massive group hug. It's all laughter and smiles with the crew. This past month and a half has been absolutely perfect. Yoongi's never been happier.

"I think we should get the mansion," Jungkook says, pulling away from the group hug.

"I agree," Tae says with a nod.

"Me too."

"Me three."

"Me four."

The voices of agreement all speak up until it's only Yoongi who's left. They all stare at him expectantly, and he gulps. Oh what the hell, why not?

"You know what? Let's do it. Let's get this mansion."

~23:32~

Hoseok watches in amazement as Yoongi kisses Sapphire goodnight, letting her walk back into her room. Hoseok wants to run to Seulgi and do that right now, but he's like ninety percent sure she's having a sleepover with Y/n right now, so he won't bother them. Or maybe he will. After watching that whole scene, he feels the need to appreciate Seulgi more. Then again, that happens whenever he even glances in her direction.

Their relationship has gotten a lot more clingy over these past few weeks. Hoseok knows everyone has noticed. They aren't hiding it. They're making out on the bridge, using cheesy pick up lines, playing tag in the greenhouse even around all the others, only ever talking about each other... yeah, they have a bit of a problem. They're becoming more obnoxiously in love than Jimin and Y/N. Hoseok shivers at the thought. Oh God, what have they become?

Yoongi steps away from Sapphire's door, smiling like an idiot. "Would you actually share a room with her?" Hoseok asks as the man approaches.

He hesitates, then nods. "You know what? Yeah. I would." Hoseok smiles at the man's answer, deciding to start to trek away with Yoongi in-step with him. Neither of them speak for several moments, but Hoseok can tell there's something on his mind.

"What's going on?" he asks, slowing his pace. Yoongi slows as well, shyly peeking at him.

"Even after all of this, I haven't told her I love her yet."

"You haven't? You two have been together for a while now, haven't you?"

Yoongi nods. "I wasn't sure when the right time was, and she clearly doesn't want to rush me. But sometimes I can't help but wonder if she doesn't feel the same."

Hoseok scoffs, chuckling. "She loves you, Yoons. One glance at her and we all know. She really, really loves you."

Yoongi fiddles with his fingers. "You think so?"

"I know so. She's a great girl, you really scored."

"She puts up with my constant mood swings, need for sleep, and lack of emotions."

"Mood swings and lack of emotions? Oxymoron much?" Yoongi reveals one of his gummy smiles, making Hoseok go soft.

"You know what I mean," he murmurs. Hoseok laughs, giving Yoongi a nudge.

They stroll right by Seulgi's room. Hoseok's eyes immediately land on her door, and his body instinctively stops. He can't hear anything from outside, but he can tell she's probably having a good time right now. Her and Y/N are such good friends. Part of him wants to get closer to Y/N. It's like how Jimin has gotten closer with Seulgi since she's the best friend to Y/N. Maybe he should follow in his Captain's footsteps.

Hobi stares at the door longingly. He really misses Seulgi even though he saw her not too long ago. Their game of tag was fun; he loves how energetic she can be sometimes. He also loves how she can be quiet and reserved. He may have more energy than a puppy, but he also enjoys the quiet moments. Hoseok loves watching her draw. She made a portrait of him not too long ago. He framed it and hung it up in his room. She's so talented it boggles his mind. It's like they're on the same wavelength.

"Go ahead," Yoongi says, nudging him.

"No no, I couldn't. She's with Y/N."

"Muffin wouldn't mind you barging in, she likes you after all."

"She does?"

"If I like you, everyone likes you," Yoongi says, causing Hoseok to laugh.

"Fair enough. You sure they'll let me in?"

"Oh my God, just go," he replies, rolling his eyes and pushing Hoseok towards the door. Hoseok chuckles, listening closely for a few seconds. When he hears nothing, he glances at Yoongi, who gives him a thumbs up.

"I'd feel bad about leaving you though," he tries, but Yoongi shakes his head.

"I'm going to go find Taehyung, so don't worry about me."

"Stealing Jungkook's boyfriend?" Hoseok teases. Yoongi playfully rolls his eyes.

"We like to listen to music together, I'm getting him into songwriting." Hoseok softly smiles. Okay, that's adorable. "Gooo," Yoongi says with a groan, causing Hoseok to finally give in.

"Yes sir."

Without another word, Yoongi departs, so Hoseok decides to trot inside Seulgi's room. As soon as the door opens, he notices Y/N and Seulgi laying on the ground, sketchbooks in front of them and pencils in their hands. They whip their heads up, eyeing Hoseok.

"Hey Hobi, what's going on?" Y/N says, which instantly calms his hammering heart.

"Oh uh, I kind of wanted to check in, see how my two favorite girls were doing."

"Oh, I'm a favorite now?" Y/N asks. Hoseok chuckles, awkwardly scratching the back of his neck.

"Yeah of course, you're the best friend of the most important person in my life." Seulgi softly smiles, flustering at Hoseok's words.

"You can come in, we don't bite," Seulgi says.

"A-Are you sure? I don't want to interrupt a girls nig-"

"We have girls nights like three times a week, plus, I'd love to talk to Seulgi's precious boyfriend more," Y/N says. Seulgi nods in agreement. Hoseok shyly smiles, then walks inside and closes the door behind him.

"Whatcha doing?" he asks, causing Seulgi to smile.

"I'm teaching Y/N here how to draw."

"Or maybe I'm teaching you," she says, waggling her eyebrows.

"Let's see your drawing again."

"U-Uh, it's not finished yet!" she says, holding her book against her chest.

"Let's see," Hoseok says, laying down next to Seulgi.

"It's actually pretty good, I've been helping her with it," Seulgi says. Y/N finally sighs and gives in.

She places the sketchbook on the ground, and Hoseok's eyes widen. "Wow, this is beautiful Y/N. What the hell?"

"My mom made me take art classes with Alisha when I was a kid. Alisha was so interested in drawing but didn't want to do it alone, so I became the one who went to every single lesson with her. I guess some of that is still with me," she explains.

"Is there anything you can't do?" Hoseok asks, and she chuckles.

"Uh... I can't let people suffer."

Hoseok rolls his eyes with a smile. "Classic Y/N." He traces a finger down the side of the paper. "Are you going to give it to him?"

"D-Do you think he'll like it?" Y/N stutters. Hoseok eyes the portrait of Jimin carefully, but it's Seulgi who speaks.

"Are you kidding? He'll fuck you on spot."

"He does that anyway." Seulgi laughs, and so does Y/N.

"I think I'm going to add some final touches though," she whispers, bringing the book back and eyeing it carefully. She taps the back of the pencil against her cheek, thinking. Seulgi stands, shrugging and going over to her bathroom.

He watches her go, and Y/N notices. "Go talk to her, I'll stay here," she says. Hoseok shoots her a grateful smile before standing and following his girlfriend. She doesn't close the door behind her, she simply starts washing her hands. They're covered with pencil and pen marks, even her wrists.

"Messy much?" Hoseok asks.

She snickers. "I like art, what can I say?" He places his hands on her hips, resting his chin on her shoulder. They look into the mirror together, softly smiling.

"You're beautiful, you know that right?" She doesn't reply at first. Seulgi looks down and rubs her fingers over her marks. "They're beautiful," he mutters, kissing her neck. She sighs, turning off the water and glancing up again.

"Those scars will never go away, will they?" she asks, her voice barely above a whisper.

"Maybe not physically, but I know you. You're the strongest person I know. You can get rid of those mental scars. You can. I believe in you."

Seul turns back and looks at him in awe. "I love you," she whispers. He smiles, kissing her softly. He doesn't want to escalate anything with Y/N not too far away, but he still wants to pour all his love into this kiss. He gives it a few seconds, sweetly kissing her before pulling back and meeting her eyes. "I love you," she repeats. "I feel like I don't say it enough." He pecks her forehead, shaking his head.

"I know. I love you too, my Seulmate."
