She woke up alone in bed, and the first thing she thought was 'strange'. These days, she rarely starts the day alone. There were always another two, or at least one, warm bodies besides her. The bed was cold and it felt too lonely...

Well, she guessed that's what Baby complains about when Jinu and her get up early. They were early birds while Baby was more of a night owl, it just happens that way.

It made sense for Jinu to wake up before her, there were few things that stopped him from following his routine. Baby though? That is a first. For her own account, she could just say that she probably should have listened to Jinu about not playing shots against Baby. She might have better alcohol tolerance than most humans, but demons also had their limitations and she had realized too late that Baby wasn't just immune to spice...

Rumi finally got off the bed, feeling a headache incoming. She stretched, then put on a shirt —Jinu's? Baby's? Either way it was too big for her. She pulled up her long hair in a messy ponytail, not having the patience for her regular braid. She made the bed, washed her face and brushed her teeth before leaving to look for her two idiots.

When she got close to the kitchen's entrance though, she froze. She heard wet sounds coming from there... Kissing? That sounded like a full make out session with the occasional chuckle and quiet moans. It's not like she has never seen them fooling around with each other before, but something about them doing that while she woke up... alone, it just rubbed her the wrong way.

She approached the source of the sounds quietly this time. The first thing she saw was Baby's back facing her. Rumi walked around them, so she could see the full show displayed in front of her. Jinu, handsome as ever, sat on top of the counter, loose pyjama pants on and shirtless. On the other hand, Baby was standing between Jinu's legs, almost completely pressed against him, and he was also wearing loose pyjama pants but with a short sleeved t-shirt —as Jinu wouldn't let him wear loose tops outside because of his idol image, which will be affected by him being more fit than fans believe him to be, Baby often took the chance to wear fitted tops or going shirtless inside.

Before Rumi could say anything, she got just in time to see Jinu dipping a strawberry in a bowl with melted chocolate, which he then put on his mouth. He held the fruit between his teeth, mouth open, chocolate dripping down his lower lip... But Baby caught it with his tongue before it got too far and he closed his mouth against Jinu's. They both bit into the strawberry and kissed through it, Baby practically devouring Jinu in the process...

A choked whine cut through and she barely registered it as her own voice. She flushed, her face warm, when Jinu perked up and broke the kiss he was sharing with the shorter man. His yellow eyes blinked at her before turning brown again.

"Rumi", he smiled at her.

Yet all she could think about is how he refused to look at her with those eyes. Demon eyes. He looked at Baby with those often when he thought she wasn't looking. She used to think he did it when the teal haired demon pissed him off, but he looked far from angry a moment ago...

"... Hi", she mumbled and gestured at them. "What is...?"

"Oh, this?", Jinu looked down and then back at her. "Baby refused to eat breakfast properly and I thought... I could motivate him."

Said person growled.

"Shut it."

And Baby went back to lapping at the traces of chocolate and fruit juice on Jinu's lips, even nibbled on his lower lip... Looking at that, Rumi felt her mouth go dry and she couldn't look away. However, Jinu never looked away from her eyes, gaze softened.

"Do you feel better?"

"Uh", she blinked up at him. "I... Yeah, sure."

He chuckled, and she felt a little embarrassed under his gaze. She understood a beat too late what he was talking about. The hungover. She didn't even remember how she went from drunkenly kissing Jinu to laying down on the bed last night.

"Do you want anything to eat?", he asked.

"I didn't finish, she can make her own breakfast", Baby protested, not letting the black haired man move from where he was.

Jinu smirked at him and held Baby's face with both hands.

"Oh, did my sweet boy enjoy my idea?", he said, with a lower tone, almost mocking. "You were so against it though..."

A shiver ran down her spine at the pet name he used.

Baby deadpanned at him, looking irritated. He would often complain about Jinu soft talking to him too much. However, the darker flush on his cheeks revealed otherwise...

"Cute...", she giggled.

He just scoffed and hid his face against the crook of Jinu's neck. Judging by the way the older man's breath hitched, Baby probably bit him there.

"Suddenly...", Jinu sighed, then locked eyes with Rumi once again. "So? What would you want?"

She thought about it.

"Want... I want..."

She thought back on the noises she heard from the hall, on how lovely they sounded. On how they looked so lost on each other sharing strawberries, as if they lived in their own little bubble. On how Jinu was so ready to break it just to make sure she was okay, the softness in his eyes... And yet there was something in the desperation Baby showed in trying to get his attention back...

My sweet boy...

She wanted to be his too.

Theirs.

She wanted them.

"I want to try it."

Jinu's eyes darkened and he smiled at her. Baby looked up from where he was hidden, actually looking at her for the first time since she entered the room, teal eyes flashing yellow for a second. They both looked at her expectantly, as if they were carefully observing all her movements...

Hungry. They looked hungry.

It looked... familiar. From last night.

"What's wrong?", Baby had whispered, breath warm against her ear. "Why is the hunter being preyed on now?

Jinu gave Baby's arm a light tap, and the younger demon moved back to make space for her.

"Suit yourself, beloved."
