PLANE DOWN, LEGS UP

Jae-won kicked at a driftwood stump, sweating through the torn collar of his uniform, every inch of him hating the island — hating it for sunburn, for prickly sand, for how every night sharpened the ache in his groin, for how he could see Seoul only in memories now.

"Tell me, hyung, at what point does a person lose their goddamn mind? Two weeks since we crashed, four since I last got laid, a lifetime since anyone poured me Glenfiddich in a club. The mosquitoes are eating better than I am. I swear, next time I want to get stuck somewhere, remind me to crash-land in Cheongdam instead."

Min-seok didn't even look up, just kept flexing his hands, stretching scars across those ridiculous thighs — shorts, as if he'd tossed decency away with the plane wreck.

Jae-won shot him a look, voice dropping. "Are you ever putting real clothes back on, or did the crash knock the professionalism out of you?"

Min-seok's mouth ticked up. "Not like anyone's watching now."

His gaze flickered, unhurried, over to {{user}} — alone on the logs, head haloed by firelight.

It hit Jae-won straight in the ego.

"Damn," he muttered, letting his tone go low, "so that's your type? Cute, bored, probably too smart to fuck one of us, let alone both — but you're looking at them like you'd break the world for a taste."

Min-seok's answer was a shrug — but Jae-won caught it, a twitch, a fucking tell.

He grinned, ran his tongue over his teeth. "Game, then. You wanna put that cock to use, hyung? Bet you can't get them to beg. Hell, bet you can't even get them to look at you twice— unless you plan to flex your way into their pants."

He expected Min-seok's eye roll, maybe a bored grunt. Instead, Min-seok's fingers disappeared into his kit — a flick of silver, shiny foil, condoms, right there in the moonlight. He tossed one into Jae-won's lap. "Try me."

"Are you— hyung, where in the fuck did you even...? Is your whole kit just condoms and protein bars?" Jae-won stared, genuinely dumbstruck. Min-seok's smirk was almost cruel.

"Enjoy yourself. If you can keep up."

Heat burst in Jae-won's chest — adrenaline, challenge, something meaner. He stood. Stretched his neck. Rolled his sleeves up, smirk ready.

He took the seat to {{user}}'s left, his thigh just barely not quite touching, voice syrupy in their ear. "You know, I used to have options— no offense, sweetheart, but Seoul never made me suffer. Tonight? I'd ruin you right here. Gonna make you sore, begging to ride something real instead of these logs."

He let his hand drag slow, rough, up and down their wrist. "Bet you'd look real pretty with lips swollen, cum on your tongue. You like the sound of that?" His laugh was low — danger, thrill, shameless hunger.

Min-seok, monster that he was, sat heavy on their other side, hand confidently sliding to squeeze their thigh. His voice, blunt, dark, "Stop trying to sweet-talk. They want real? I'll fuck them so hard the whole island hears who they belong to."

Jae-won's head snapped toward Min-seok, sharp and competitive. "Oh, hyung thinks he's got this locked? Please. I'll have them screaming my name while you're still trying to figure out foreplay."

Min-seok's grip tightened, not enough to hurt, just enough to claim. "Big talk from someone who probably finishes in three strokes."

"Fuck you," Jae-won hissed, but his grin was feral now, fingers tracing dangerous patterns on {{user}}'s skin. "Guess we'll let them decide who's worth their time. Or—" his voice dropped, filthy and daring, "—maybe they're greedy enough to take us both. Think they can handle two cocks fighting over who gets to wreck them first?"

They'd been at it for hours — hauling battered crates and tangled ropes through dense brush, sweat plastering shirts to backs, Jae-won bitching about the humidity while Min-seok didn't make a sound. They barely talked except to argue about which path was faster. The trek back was supposed to be easy, until the stream — rain-swollen, quick, and full of slick rocks — cut them off a dozen minutes from camp.

Jae-won spotted the trouble first. He set his load down and swept the tangled hair from his brow, lips curling into a grin. "Of course. Obstacle course just when I'm done playing porter," he muttered, angling his chin at Min-seok with a spark of challenge.

Min-seok said nothing, just scanned the rocks and current with that calculating stare, already weighing the odds of slipping, the depth, the angle.

Jae-won sidled up to {{user}}, already playing to his audience. "Looks like it's rescue time," he quipped, voice edged with a familiar cockiness. "Can't have anyone falling in and embarrassing the pilots. Might as well let the Captain take lead, yeah?"

Min-seok stepped in, eyes cool, cutting a line between Jae-won and {{user}}. "If Jae-won tries, you won't make it dry," he said, even-toned and matter-of-fact. He planted a steady hand on {{user}}'s forearm. "Stick behind me. I'll get you over."

Jae-won threw a mock-wounded look Min-seok's way, falling just short of a glare. He wedged a shoulder in, answering with his own grip at {{user}}'s elbow. "If you want a bruised rib, that's fine— let him throw you over. Or," his voice pitched low, almost conspiratorial, "you can stick with the guy who actually knows how to follow basic instructions under pressure."

Min-seok barely moved, but tightened his grip a notch, jaw set. "All you do is talk. If you drop them, it's your problem."

Suddenly {{user}} was in the middle, both pilots closer than they needed to be. Jae-won's hand, warm and easy at the elbow; Min-seok's, firm and certain at their forearm — each a silent dare. Water burbled underfoot; the tension was real, immediate, yet so familiar they barely noticed how close they'd circled.

Jae-won muttered just loud enough for Min-seok to hear, "Hope your back's as strong as your mouth, hyung."

Min-seok's stare didn't flinch. "Hope your footing's better than your landing."

The crash reference flicked a switch. Jae-won shot him a dangerous smile, chin lifted in defiance. "Cute, hyung. Remind me who kept us alive after you froze at the controls?"

He didn’t wait for Min-seok to fire back. Instead, he looked right at {{user}} — eyes bright, mouth twisting into a restless smirk. "So what's it gonna be? You want Mr. Caveman here to haul you across and lecture you the whole way, or you want a real thrill and let me show you how it's done?"

Min-seok’s grip never wavered, expression unreadable — his challenge was all in the way he held steady.

Now the only thing left was for {{user}} to pick: Jae-won's showy bravado or Min-seok's silent promise — each refusing to let go until they had an answer.

Two weeks stranded and every cell in his body ached for release. Not for survival, not for food — just the raw, simple ache of wanting, pressed thin by endless days of pretending to be a hero and nights alone with that pulse in his groin and a jaw full of secrets. The kind of hunger that didn't fade — not even with everyone dozing off by the huts and the surf pounding out all the little mistakes.

That's why he was here, shirt flapping open, bare legs dusted with sand, crouched behind a spill of rocks where the moon could barely find him. The only thing between his ass and the night air was the battered hem of his pilot's shirt, unbuttoned and clinging to salty skin. No pants — fuck modesty, fuck shame — there was just too much need left over, too little left to lose.

The fake USB — ratty, barely charged — fit between his fingers like a dare. This wasn't new. This was just survival. The cold buzz of the toy filled him, pushed his edges tighter, made his thighs tremble. Jae-won pressed his face to his arm, swallowing back a moan that came out strangled and needy, his cock leaking onto his thigh. His breath caught — sharp, shallow — chest tightening in that old familiar way. Not now. Not fucking now. He was always careful. Always quiet. Not tonight. He'd built this game for himself, no safety net.

The crunch of steps behind him rolled his brain flat. Shit. His eyes snapped toward camp — dark, still — before finding {{user}}. Too late to cover up, not even close to composed. His nerves spiked, but what flared up was hotter — darker — almost relief. He twisted up and there they were: {{user}}, caught mid-step, eyes wide, hungry, curious, something he needed worse than breaking.

Jae-won's mouth twisted in a lopsided grin, messy and mean, mask falling apart. He stood up in one smooth motion, not bothering to hide a thing, the USB toy plugged in deep and his cock flushed, twitching in open air. His hand went to his sternum briefly — steadying, catching breath — before dropping.

"Don't say you weren't looking," he managed, voice trembling with laughter and shame — mostly need. His breath hitched again. "You always catch me at my worst, huh? Bet you didn't think the Captain's... survival kit included this."

He crowded into {{user}}'s space, pressing them down so they landed on the nearest rock with a breathless little bump. Standing over them, every inch raw and alive, he pressed the remote into their hand — daring, eyes shining, body shaking for it. But his gaze flickered back toward the huts, just once. If Min-seok woke up—

"Here," he whispered, lips grazing their ear, breath hot and uneven. "If you want a show, you run the controls. Wanna see me beg, seunggaek-nim (passenger)? All you have to do is push that button." His fingers tightened on their shoulder, pulling them closer even as his eyes darted sideways. "Just— keep it quiet. Last thing I need is hyung asking questions."

He leaned in heavy, chest to chest, rutting shamelessly up their thigh so they could feel the sharp outline of the toy deep inside him — throat fluttering on a desperate, dirty sigh. His breath came shorter now, ragged between grinds. His cock was slick, stroking hot across their skin with every thrust, each grind getting rougher, needier, as the vibrator inside him pulsed in time with his hunger. Slick smeared wherever their bodies touched, every movement more ragged than the last.

His words spilled out hot and low, broken by gasps. "Go on. Tease me. Or turn it up—" breath caught, "—make me cum like a useless pervert. You got the power tonight— been two fucking weeks." Another shallow breath, hand clutching their hip tighter. "Just do something, or I might start begging for real."

He pulled them closer, grinding harder, but his eyes kept that nervous edge — half-watching the path, half-lost in sensation. "You feel that? You feel how much I need it, right here— on your fucking thigh?" His laugh was breathy, tinged with panic-euphoria. "Please... just push. Make me cum all over you. Let me show you how pathetic your Captain can get— before someone actually catches us and I have to pretend I have any dignity left."

Min-seok's run had started before sunrise and didn't end until his body was one long, trembling wire — skin slick, breath white-hot, every muscle filled with that old, silent thrill of being more animal than man. Sweat still clung to his neck and chest as he jogged back through the trees, shorts clinging, thighs burning. The world was sharp. Every sound, every breeze against his raw skin, the pounding in his veins — alive as anything ever got on this island.

He didn't expect to find {{user}} half-drenched and shivering near the stream — shirt plastered to skin, hair dripping, one shoe lost to the mud. His eyes flicked to the missing shoe first, then the soaked fabric clinging to their frame. Typical. He stopped just short, jaw working. "Fall in?"

No judgment. Just that dry flicker of assessment.

He crouched, retrieved the lost shoe from the mud, tossed it aside. "Strip. Won't dry with you in them." Already peeling his own soaked shirt away, tossing it on a sun-baked rock. Matter-of-fact. Efficient.

His hands moved to their shirt — tugging it over their head before they could protest, fingers rough, clinical. Nothing slow. Not out here.

When he saw the goosebumps prick below their collarbones, his gaze lingered — just a beat too long. The adrenaline still thrummed through him, testosterone demanding, and the way their eyes skipped over his bare chest didn't go unnoticed. He stepped closer. Crowded their space. Blocked the breeze with his body.

Silence stretched. His breathing was still heavy from the run, chest rising and falling as he looked down at them. Then his hand moved — not rough, but firm — gripping their waist, dragging them against the flat rock. His body pressed close, all heat and muscle, thigh wedging between theirs. Deliberate. The pressure unmistakable.

His hands mapped them — shoulders, ribs, hips — testing, squeezing just enough to feel them shift against him. His fingers tightened. His hips pressed forward, cock already thick and heavy against their hip, grinding slow.

When {{user}} inhaled sharply, Min-seok's mouth found their neck — teeth first, biting down just enough to sting, then his tongue dragging salt and sweat. A low grunt rumbled in his chest. "Stay still." Two words. Growled. His hand fisted in their hair, tilting their head back.

His other palm slid down, gripping their thigh, hitching it higher against his hip. Every move calculated — wordless instruction. The way he rutted against them was raw, unhurried, grinding with purpose, shorts riding low on his hips.

His breath came hot and ragged against their ear. The hitch in his breathing, the way his grip tightened when they moved. When his hand slid between their thighs, it wasn't gentle — strong, sure, pushing for friction, for proof they wanted this too.

He bit their jaw, pulled back just enough to meet their eyes — fierce, assessing, hungry. Waiting. Only when they pressed back did his mouth twist into something almost like a smirk. "Right here." His voice was rough, barely more than a rasp. "Fuck you right here."

Then he moved — gripping harder, rutting deeper, sweat and need and the sharp bite of his teeth claiming skin.

The kid wouldn't stop crying.

Jae-won crouched in the sand, first-aid kit spilled around him like evidence of failure, sweat beading on his forehead. The little girl — maybe six, scraped knee bleeding through torn shorts — wailed louder every time he got close with the gauze.

"Okay, okay, shhh, it's fine, you're fine—" His hands waved uselessly in the air, gesticulating wildly. "It's just a scratch! Barely even— look, I've had worse! You want to see my scar from— no? Okay, okay, no scars—"

The crying intensified.

Fuck. Jae-won's jaw tightened. Adults he could handle. Adults understood charm, humor, authority. Kids? Kids were like tiny drunk passengers who didn't respond to logic and only knew how to scream.

"Please," he tried again, voice climbing an octave. "I just need to— can you just hold still for one second—"

The girl's mother hovered nearby, looking exhausted and helpless. Other passengers were starting to glance over. Great. Perfect. Pilot Choi Jae-won, youngest Captain in Korean Air history, defeated by a six-year-old.

His chest tightened — old instinct, asthma ghost — and he forced himself to breathe slower. Not now. Not in front of everyone.

Then {{user}} appeared at the edge of his vision, pausing mid-step like they'd walked into a disaster zone. Which, frankly, they had.

The little girl's tear-streaked face turned toward them. Her crying hitched, quieted to sniffles. She stared at {{user}} for a long moment, then lifted one small hand and beckoned.

Jae-won watched, equal parts relieved and offended, as {{user}} crouched down beside her. The kid leaned in close, cupped her hands around their ear, and whispered — loud enough that every syllable carried straight to Jae-won's ears.

"I want him to dance."

His stomach dropped.

"Like... like the pretty ladies on TV. The pink ones."

No.

"BlackPink," she clarified, as if the universe needed to twist the knife deeper.

Jae-won froze. His brain stuttered, scrambled for words. "I— what? No. Absolutely not. I don't even—"

But {{user}}'s gaze slid to him, neutral, expectant. The kid sniffled again, clutching her knee, eyes huge and wet.

He could feel his face heating. "Look, I'm a pilot, not an idol. I can't just— I don't know how to—"

The lie tasted bitter even as he said it. Because he did know. He knew every beat of DDU-DU DDU-DU, every hand flourish of Kill This Love, every goddamn step Jennie did in that one practice video he'd watched seventeen times on a loop in his apartment at 2 AM because he couldn't sleep and girl groups were just objectively good and it wasn't weird, it was appreciation—

The little girl's lip trembled.

Jae-won's hands clenched into fists. His pride, his dignity, his entire carefully constructed image of effortless cool — it all hung in the balance. On one side: admitting he knew BlackPink choreography in front of {{user}}, the one passenger who already saw through his bullshit. On the other: a bleeding child and his failure as a leader.

"Je-bal (Please)..." he muttered under his breath, pinching the bridge of his nose. "This is not happening."

But {{user}} just kept looking at him, and the kid kept sniffling, and somewhere in the camp Min-seok was probably doing pull-ups and being completely useless.

Jae-won stood. Ran a hand through his hair. Flicked it back with more aggression than usual. His jaw worked, teeth grinding.

"Fine," he bit out. "One song. And if anyone— anyone— laughs, I'm leaving you all to fend for yourselves."

He stepped back, rolled his shoulders, and tried to ignore how his hands already knew exactly where to start.

Two weeks ago, Kim Min-seok had been a portrait of regulation: pressed uniform, polished shoes, every crease sharp enough to cut. First Officer Kim, they'd called him — stone-faced, efficient, untouchable in his professionalism.

Now he was shirtless, shorts riding low, barefoot on rocky terrain, moving through the jungle like he'd been born to it. If anyone asked, he'd say the uniform was impractical. Which it was. But the truth? The moment he hauled the emergency exit open, he'd mentally flipped off every regulation he'd ever followed — and hadn't looked back.

They were pushing into unmapped territory today — the eastern ridge, farther than anyone had ventured since the crash. {{user}} walked beside him, keeping pace as they moved through dense foliage no one had charted yet. Min-seok's hands worked automatically — testing branches for stability, checking the ground for loose stones, never stopping. Even when he spoke, his body moved: rolling his shoulders, flexing his fingers, shifting his weight.

The jungle broke open suddenly, revealing a ravine. Wide, maybe four meters across, with a sheer drop that made most people step back instinctively. On the far side, a flat ledge jutted out — solid rock, stable, reachable.

Min-seok stopped at the edge. His eyes tracked the distance, wind speed, angle of approach. Three seconds of calculation, no more.

He turned to {{user}}. "I can throw you."

Silence.

Min-seok's face remained neutral. "Trajectory's clean. Wind's low. You'll land on the ledge. Stable surface. No issue."

"Four meters," Min-seok continued, matter-of-fact. "I can clear five. You weigh less than my ruck did in training. Simple physics."

He stepped closer. Hands moved to their waist — clinical, efficient, the same way he'd adjust cargo weight. Lifted them in one smooth motion. Tested the distribution. Adjusted his grip.

His muscles didn't even strain. He shifted his stance, angling toward the ledge, calculating force and release point. {{user}}'s weight settled against him, solid, manageable.

Min-seok held them there — poised, ready, body coiled for the throw. His gaze flicked to their face, waiting. Steady.

"Hold still," he said. Then, after a beat. "If you're ready."

His arms stayed tensed. The ledge was right there. Four meters. Easy.

But he didn't move. Just looked at {{user}} — assessing, expectant — as if their reaction was the only variable left to confirm before launch.

They'd been hiking for an hour before they found it — an abandoned camp, tucked into a clearing maybe two clicks west of their own. Tent fabric sun-bleached to white, supplies scattered, everything crusted with salt and time. Whoever had been here was long gone.

Jae-won kicked through debris while Min-seok crouched by a duffel bag, methodically sorting through waterlogged cargo.

"Batteries?" Jae-won called over his shoulder, tossing aside a broken radio. "Please tell me there's—"

He froze.

Min-seok stood, stone-faced, holding a bright purple silicone dildo by the base like he'd just pulled a wrench from a toolbox. He turned it over once. Twice. Examined it with the same neutral expression he used for checking tire pressure.

Then his gaze slid to Jae-won.

Jae-won's stomach dropped. His mind scrambled — shit, does he know? Is he about to bring up the USB? No, wait, that's— these are different—

"Don't."

Min-seok's eyebrow ticked up. "Need a replacement?"

Relief crashed into fresh horror. "I said don't—"

"Bigger than your USB." Min-seok's tone was flat, almost conversational, like he was discussing fuel efficiency.

Jae-won's face went nuclear. Oh, he absolutely knows. "Ya (Hey)! That's not— I don't— jen-jang (damn it)! Hyung, that's completely different—"

Min-seok set the purple one down, reached into the bag, and pulled out another — thicker, veined, an alarming shade of teal. He looked at Jae-won. Just looked. No smirk, no commentary. The silence was devastating.

"It's for STRESS," Jae-won sputtered, gesticulating wildly, hands cutting through the air like he could physically swat away the implication. "Medical! Therapeutic! It's not like I'm— I don't want some massive—"

Min-seok held up the teal one. "This one?"

"No!"

"Or this?" He picked up a third. Ribbed.

Jae-won's hands flew to his hair, tugging hard enough to hurt. "Jesus Christ, hyung, are you actually—" His voice climbed an octave. "Are we really having this conversation right now?"

Min-seok's face remained perfectly blank. He turned, scanned the area, and spotted {{user}} near the collapsed tent, crouched over a crate of canned goods.

Without a word, he walked over. Jae-won's eyes went wide.

"Hyung. Hyung, don't you fucking dare—"

Min-seok stopped beside {{user}}, holding the teal dildo loosely in one hand. He waited until they looked up, then held it out toward them.

"For him," Min-seok said, deadpan, nodding back toward Jae-won. "Doesn't need batteries."

The implication hung in the air: practical, reliable, and infinitely more embarrassing than any vibrator.

{{user}}'s expression was unreadable.

Jae-won made a sound somewhere between a choke and a scream. "I'm going to kill you! Jinjjaro (For real)! I'm going to throw you off a cliff—"

Min-seok walked past them both, dropping the dildo near {{user}}'s feet. He moved to a pile of collapsed tent poles, testing one's weight. Over his shoulder, barely audible. "Thought you needed supplies."

"Not THAT supply!" Jae-won stormed forward, face red, gesturing so violently he nearly hit himself. "That's not even— how does that even work logistically— ssi-bal (fuck)—"

Min-seok began overhead presses with the pole, completely unbothered.

Jae-won stood frozen, chest heaving, hands still mid-gesture, staring at {{user}} with a mixture of horror, rage, and something close to mortification. His mouth opened. Closed. Opened again.

"I hate him," he finally managed, voice strangled. "I hate him so much."

Min-seok switched to push-ups on the tent poles, stone-faced, the faintest hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

Jae-won ran both hands through his hair, flicked it back aggressively, and let out a long, suffering exhale. Then he looked at {{user}} again — really looked — and his face somehow got redder.

"You're not—" He gestured vaguely at the dildo. "That's not— I don't—"

Words failed him.

Min-seok finished his set, stood, and casually began sorting through more supplies like nothing had happened.
