The following day went just as he could expect. Mentally draining work, preparing his own meals with less energy than a zombie, and more draining work.

After his shift was over, he got a chance to talk with Jieun about the events from the previous night. Initially, her tone showed her frustration, followed by a bit of silence.

"If you're getting one of those girls pregnant, you'll have to get me pregnant too!" After a moment of silence, she sighed deeply on the phone, knowing her possessiveness and a couple of drops of her breeding kink had taken over her. "Sorry, I know that won't happen. But please, please be careful," she requested.

They kept talking about more random stuff for another half an hour before she had to get back to work. He let her know in advance that he would take a nap just to rest his head. "Sounds fair," she chuckled. "Do you think we can do that this Sunday? Just… Cuddling and sleeping together all day?"

"Nothing would make me happier right now," he replied, already longing for their time together, knowing her version of cuddling often involved her cockwarming him after they've made love to each other. They hung up, he silenced his phone, and fell asleep for at least three hours. Longer than what he had planned.

When he finally checked his phone, he was swamped with notifications from the last hours, most of them from one unknown number. 'Chaeyoung?' He thought, quickly scanning the texts and considering she was the only Twice member he did not have as a contact yet.

He scrolled through the messages. As far as he could see, they all were simply to call his attention in as many ways as possible, including his full legal name, through different batches of texts every few minutes, then every half an hour.

SD: Hello?
??: FINALLY!!! Can you meet us this Saturday?
SD: Chaeyoung?
??: Just one syllable is correct there… 😮‍💨

'Fuck, it finally happened,' he thought, processing the idea that he would now meet other idols. On a different day, he would have been excited to know who would be next, but in that moment, it felt like actual work.

SD: Okay, I'll need help here. Who am I talking to?
??: You didn't read all the messages, right?

He didn't. When he scrolled back, he read her name. Chaeryeong, Lee Chaeryeong. 'Why are there so many' Chaes' in the industry?' He said to himself, running his finger through the bridge of his nose.

SD: Sorry, rough day. Who do you mean by 'us' exactly?
CR: Is that a yes?
SD: You're not going to tell me unless I'll meet you on Saturday, right?
CR: Right! 🙂‍↕️
SD: Fine, what hour?

Chaeryeong, excitedly, established time and place, along with another piece of information he shared with Jieun in a call as soon as she got home late at night.

"All of them?" the soloist asked, perplexed by his statement.

"For three hours, yeah. It seems one of their main servers actually quit, and the other one requested not to be assigned to them anymore," Seungdae sighed, curious about her reaction and insight.

"I have had him for myself for years, and now he's getting eight girls on the same week," Jieun murmured to herself, trying to collect herself. "You know what that means, right?"

"They're too wild?"

"Two of them, mainly. Or so I've heard. Rumor has it they lit the fire for the other three," she sighed. "I only know their sweet side, and they're lovely, caring, and really funny to be around…"

"Yes, but they admire you. I will get to see a different side of them."

"I'm not sure what to expect. Did they say anything about what they want to do? Or how?"

"Just the time and place, and not to cum until then."

"Curiosity is killing you, right?"

"You have no idea."

"Hmm… I do. I guess it's a similar feeling to the one I get before an ambassador event," she reminded him.

"Fear and desire for the unknown?"

"And the thrill of not knowing if you or they will be in charge."

"Yeah, there is that, I guess."

"Our time on Sunday is still on, right?" He could hear the worry in her voice, even though she tried to hide it.

"Our time is ours. No matter what," he replied, hearing her sigh in relief. "Actually, do you think I can go directly to your place after that?"

"Yes! That'd be perfect," she replied quickly. "I'll try to have my scenes recorded earlier so I can leave soon."

"You're far more worried about me than I am."

"Think about it. What pushes a man, much more two, to quit fucking idols?"

"I guess I'll find out."

 Friday went without much movement except for a quick video call with Tzuyu after she had gotten home, which was the highlight of the night.

"Itzy? All five of them?" She asked, perplexed, not bothering to hide her reaction.

"Yup! Any advice?"

"Do you still have Sana's scratches on you?" She frowned, worried.

"Yeah, and Jin's to match them."

She sighed. "There's no way you won't have them by tomorrow, right?"

"Only if you know a way to shed two layers of skin in one night," he joked.

Tzuyu scoffed with a cute smile. "Then you'll need to turn off the lights or keep your clothes on as long as you can."

"I'll see what I can do."

"Do you want to come here after you're done with them?" She could see his regretful expression already. "You're going with Jin afterward, right?" She asked with a wide, teasing smile.

"Yes. Should I say sorry?" As usual, whenever Jin was brought up with Tzuyu, he was surprised to see her bright smile shining.

"No, but you should block next Thursday in your calendar," she nodded happily. "I won't accept a no for an answer there, sir." Her tone became serious, and her big eyes took up most of the camera.

"Birthday preparations?"

"So you know!" Her eyes opened wide again, along with a shy, wide smile, this time in pleasant surprise.

"And that's not because it's my job to keep you happy!"

"Your job is to keep me satisfied. It just so happens you also make me happy."

"That's mutual. But you got it. I'll block next Thursday for you."
