JK carries half asleep Luna into the house bridal style. She'd slept the majority of the car ride back and still didn't want to wake up when they'd arrived. He still felt bad so he was going to carry her anyways.
He notices Tae and Joon on the couch, both lost in their own worlds, one holding a book and the other holding an art magazine.
Jimin and Yoongi, who were in the kitchen getting ready to cook something look up when he walks through.
"Oh, you're back—what on Earth happened? Is she okay? Hobi hyung told me you were going on a picnic. Did she get attacked?!" Jimin rattles off after taking in her disheveled state.
In actuality, her hair was fucked up and she lay limp in JK's arms because she was asleep. From the way he was holding her, the dark hickeys on the side of her neck were visible.
"Chill, she's fine. She's just tired. I'm going to take her to bed now," JK says defensively, a blush creeping up his neck.
The others watch as he carries her up the stairs more carefully than usual, seemingly trying not to jostle her too much. Once their forms disappeared, they looked at each other in suspicion.
"You don't think she got hurt do you?" Tae asks, a concern crossing his face.
"I don't think so. We wouldn't felt something," Yoongi says, from his place behind the counter.
"True...and JK would've definitely panicked," Joon added.
"Still...something isn't right. Did you see those bruises?" Jimin asks.
"Look, JK said she's not hurt. Maybe they just had some fun judging by that blush he was sporting," Yoongi smirks.
"That's what I'm betting on too," Joon says, putting his book down.
"I'm gonna go check on them," Tae says, placing his art magazine on the table before making his way up the stairs.
When he arrives in Luna's room, she was laid out on the bed and JK was trying to get her out of her dress so he could change her into a sleep shirt. Tae slips off his shoes and climbs onto the bed to help, gasping when he saw the sequence of what he now knew were hickeys trailing from the side of her neck to the valley between her breasts. There was also some bruising on both her hips, evidence of JK's strong grip left behind.
"Damn, you two did have fun," Tae comments, helping JK pull the oversized shirt over Luna's head and tuck her into bed.
"Shut up," JK says, embarrassment clear in his tone as he rubbed the back of his neck.
"Hey, there's no need to be embarrassed. That's nothing compared to how the hyungs leave us after an intense session sometimes. As long as you two enjoyed yourselves...I just didn't know you had that in you," Tae grins, pulling the maknae into his side.
"I just—should I have woken her up and run her a bath? I feel like she needs aftercare," JK says, looking back at her room worriedly.
"I doubt she would've woken up. We just changed her clothes and she didn't stir. You can always offer it tomorrow. You should sleep in there with her tonight so you'll know when she gets up...or attempts to get up. Something tells me she'll need some assistance," Tae raises a brow teasingly, making JK turn even redder.
"Luna is fine! Our maknae just found his inner dom," Tae announces loudly when they reach the others, dodging a slap from JK.
Hobi and Jin walk through the door, met with the sight of JK chasing Tae around the coffee table in the living room.
"What's going on in here?" Jin asks, tenderly sitting in the first armchair he approached.
"JK went all dom on Luna today. She's upstairs worn out," Tae manages through his giggles and labored breath.
"Yeah she looked half dead when he brought her in. I thought she'd gotten attacked by an animal," Jimin teases, from his place at the island.
"Oh stop teasing him. You two know you'll be next in line with your curiosity. How was your date JK?" Hobi asks, sitting on the arm of the chair where Jin was seated.
Abandoning his chase for the moment, JK sits in the armchair across from them and starts to tell them about his amazing date.

A few hours later, Luna finally stirred awake, her need for the bathroom becoming more urgent than her sleep. Groaning, she flipped back the covers and slung her legs over the side of the bed. One step was all it took for her wobbly legs to buckle underneath her, a surprised yelp escaping her mouth as she caught herself with her hands.
"Fuck," she curses, alerting JK.
"Noona! Are you okay?" he asks, hurriedly hopping out of the bed to assist her.
"Apparently, my legs don't work," she whines, rubbing the remaining sleep out of her eyes as he scoops her up into his arms.
"Haha sorry about that. Were you going to the bathroom?" he asks and she nods.
He carries her in and sets her on her feet in front of the toilet, letting her hold onto his arms for support.
"Do you need help with your panties?" he asks, reaching for them before he gets an answer.
"This is so embarrassing," Luna groans, letting him lower her onto the toilet.
"It's not. I did this so let me take care of you. Do you want to go back to bed or do you want a bath?" he asks, stepping out of the toilet room to give her some privacy.
"I probably won't be able to go back to sleep so a bath would be nice," she says.
"Okay just stay there until I get your water going okay? I don't want you to hurt yourself," he calls.
She agrees and he walks over to the tub, adding some lavender and eucalyptus oil to the water to help relieve her sore muscles.
He finds her standing, supporting her weight with the wall when he gets back, shaking his head at her hard headed ness.
"What did I tell you Kitana?" he tsks, sweeping her off her feet.
"There was no way I was gonna let you wipe me. I'm a grown woman, not a baby...and you're in for it when my legs start to work too. Don't be calling me Kitana," she grumbles, making him laugh.
"Yeah yeah," he teases, setting her up on the counter so he could pull her shirt over her head.
"Yeah yeah my ass," she grumbles as he pulls her hair out of her hair tie, making curls spring out everywhere.
He wraps one around his finger and lets it go, watching it spring back into place.
"I don't think I told you earlier, but I love these. Too bad they got messed up," he says, his warm gaze making her heart thump heavily in her chest.
"Stop it," she giggles, suddenly feeling shy.
She knew she probably looked a hot fucking mess and here he was looking at her like she hung the moon.
"Stop what?"he smirks teasingly, maintaining eye contact while he grabbed ahold of her panties with one hand, wrapping his other arm around her to lift her so he could slide them off.
"You know what I'm talking about," she says, averting her eyes from his.
"I'm just admiring what's mine. Is that so bad?" he asks softly, lifting her from the counter so he could set her down in the bath.
"I guess not," she sighs, sinking down into the water.
Some of the tension in her muscles immediately releases, causing a heavy sigh to tumble from her lips as she sank down to chin level.
"You're getting your hair wet Noona," JK gasps.
"I know, it's okay. They were cute while they lasted but there was no saving them anyways," she shrugs.
After a good, long soak in the tub and a shower with JK, Luna was feeling much better. She'd regained control over her legs and was feeling especially spoiled and content after having JK wash her hair in the shower—something she'd grown fond of.
The two lounged across her bed while JK oiled her skin, massaging her calfs when Tae and Jimin came in wearing excited smiles.
"Good morning our record breaking princess," Jimin calls, he and Tae hopping onto the bed.
"Good morning?" she says, tilting her head in confusion.
"I told you she didn't know. She never checks her phone," Tae nudges Jimin, the two rolling their eyes at her.
"Know what?" she and JK ask at the same time.
"Maxim magazine released your cover this morning and it's already sold 6 million copies. All the physical copies are already sold out and the numbers for the online issue are still coming in. Baby, the record was 3.1 million. You now have the fastest and highest selling magazine issue in Korea, hell probably the world," Jimin exclaims excitedly, pulling her into his lap.
JK and Tae join in, creating a cuddle pile. Luna couldn't help but share the excitement, giggling uncontrollably as they squeezed her between them, celebrating her accomplishments as if they were their own.
Jin walked in with a stack of pancakes, Joon, Yoongi, and Hobi trailing behind, a lit candle situated in the middle.
"Let the impromptu celebration commence," he yells, placing the pancakes on the bedside table.
The remaining four jump onto the bed too, making Luna squeal and cling to JK to avoid being squashed.
Despite all the hate and hardships, she still managed to come out on top. This accomplishment was a good reminder that no matter how much hate they would face, the love would always outweigh it. Too often, it's easier to focus on the hate, despite the outpour of love they received from their devoted fans. The wheels in Luna's head were already turning, coming up with ideas for how to show her appreciation to her fans.
