The sun had climbed higher in the sky, casting a warm, inviting light over the resort. After their interrupted moment that morning, Jaemin and Jisung had spent the day enjoying the beach, lounging by the pool, and indulging in each other's company.

Now, as they made their way back to their room, Jisung's steps were noticeably slower, a slight limp evident. Jaemin walked beside him, a playful grin on his face, clearly enjoying the aftermath of their earlier activities.

"Babe, stop," Jisung groaned, coming to a halt and leaning against the wall for support. "No more for the rest of the day."

Jaemin chuckled, leaning in to kiss Jisung's forehead. "No round three?"

Jisung shook his head, his expression a mix of exhaustion and amusement. "Nope. I need to recover."

Jaemin pouted, but his eyes sparkled with affection. "Fine, but only because I want you to be able to walk tomorrow," he teased, wrapping an arm around Jisung's waist to support him as they continued toward their room.

Once inside, Jisung flopped onto the bed with a sigh of relief. "You're insatiable, you know that?"

Jaemin laughed, sitting down beside him and running a hand through Jisung's hair. "Only when it comes to you," he said softly, his playful demeanor shifting to one of genuine affection.

Jisung smiled, reaching up to intertwine their fingers. "I love you," he whispered, his voice filled with sincerity.

"I love you too," Jaemin replied, leaning down to kiss Jisung gently.

The resort was quiet, the night enveloping them in a cocoon of tranquility. Jaemin and Jisung had settled into bed, the day's activities fading into the background as they drifted toward sleep. Jaemin's phone buzzed softly on the nightstand, its screen illuminating the room with a bright, unexpected light.

Jaemin reached for it, squinting at the incoming call from Jeno. A knot of worry formed in his stomach as he answered. "Hey, Jeno. What's up?"

"Jaemin, we have a situation," Jeno's voice came through, tense and urgent. "Someone broke into your house."

Jaemin's heart raced. "What? Is everything okay?"

"It's not too bad," Jeno said quickly. "The intruder only ransacked Jisung's stuff. The rest of the place seems untouched."

Jaemin's grip tightened on the phone. "Did they take anything?"

"Nothing major, as far as I can tell," Jeno replied. "Just some of his personal things are out of place. I haven't touched anything, but you should check it out when you get back."

Jaemin took a deep breath, trying to keep his voice steady. "Okay, thanks for letting me know. I'd appreciate it if you could keep this between us for now. I don't want Jisung to worry."

"Got it. I'll handle it on my end," Jeno assured him. "Call me if you need anything."

Jaemin hung up, his mind racing with thoughts of what could have happened. He turned to look at Jisung, who was already half-asleep, his breathing steady and calm. Jaemin's protective instincts flared up, and he decided it was best to keep the unsettling news to himself for now.

Gently, he brushed a strand of hair from Jisung's face, leaning in to press a soft kiss to his forehead. Jisung stirred slightly, murmuring sleepily, "Everything okay?"

Jaemin forced a reassuring smile, brushing aside the worry that threatened to overwhelm him. "Yeah, just a call from work. Go back to sleep."

Jisung nodded, settling back into the pillow with a contented sigh. Jaemin watched him for a moment longer before slipping out of bed, pacing quietly as he made a plan to deal with the situation.

He knew he had to sort out the security at his home and ensure that everything was handled properly before their return. But for now, he would focus on keeping Jisung's peace of mind intact. The vacation was meant to be a respite from their usual chaos, and Jaemin was determined to protect that precious calm for as long as he could.
