~ Yoongi's POV ~

"Oh for God's sake, Jisoo.  Your hair is perfect, your makeup looks beautiful, and you look positively hot in that outfit.  Can we please go now? Y/N and Minho are probably there waiting already." I begged.  She giggled and tucked her long hair behind her ear before walking over to me and smiling.

"I just want to look nice." She replied in a sweet voice.

"Baby, you always look nice." I responded, making her shake her head.

"I could be wearing a potato sack with my dirty hair pulled up and no makeup  and you would still say that." She chuckled, playfully punching my arm.

"Because it's true!  Now come on, let's go!" I replied, kissing her forehead before grabbing her hand. She followed me out of the house, her heels clacking away behind me on the wooden floors. I opened the door for her, locking it behind us as I gave her my hand to hold on the way to the car.  As we reached it, I opened the car door for her, as I had always done in the years we had been together.  I loved her and I always wanted to take care of her in the best way that I could.  It was little things like that, that I made sure to keep up so she always felt special and important.  I made my way around to the driver side door and got behind the wheel, starting the car and backing out of the driveway.

"Hey babe? I've been thinking and what do you think about getting away for a long weekend to the beach?  We both have been working so hard lately, I thought we could use a break." I said, as we began to head to the restaurant.

"But Yoongi, you hate the water." she giggled, making me reach my hand over and lay it on her exposed knee, rubbing my thumb back and forth.

"But you love it, and I want to see you happy and relaxed.  We could plan to go in a few weeks once our schedules calm down a little bit.  What do you say?" I asked, gripping her knee slightly as I drove, continuing to rub my hand back and forth, sliding up her leg a little bit to where the hem of her pink dress was.

"Ok, I will look at my schedule when I get back to work on Monday."  Thank you baby!" she said, putting her hand on top of mine and squeezing it. 

"Of course, love." I replied as she took my hand off of her knee and put it both of hers, making me grin.  Despite being together for years, the romance had not gone out of our relationship like it did to so many couples, like it seemed to have happened to Y/N and Minho.  He wasn't very respectful of her anymore, and didn't seem to dote on her like he did in the beginning.  It made me feel bad for her, but who was I to say anything?  She seemed happy enough, for the most part.  Besides, every couple has their ups and downs, so maybe they were just going through a slump.  I tried not to pry, but I didn't like seeing my best friend as happy as she could be.  Jisoo and I sat in a comfortable silence until we arrived at the restaurant. I parked the car and walked around, opening her door for her as she smiled up at me, taking my hand.

"I am starving!  I hope this place is good." I said, as we walked hand in hand down the little sidewalk to the front of the restaurant.   I opened the door for her and was greeted by the hostess standing behind the podium.

"Good evening and welcome to Jamais Vu.  Do you have a reservation?" she asked, flashing us a big smile.

"Yes, Min party of 4.  The other half of our party may be here already." I replied, as she looked down at the notebook on the podium.

"Ah yes, please follow me." she replied, grabbing two menus and walking around the podium.  She led us past several full tables until I saw them sitting at the table, Y/N's face lighting up when she made eye contact.  She looked beautiful as well, her long hair half pinned up, the royal blue dress popping against her skin.  Minho was dressed in a nice suit as well, making me feel a hair underdressed.  I was wearing black pants and a dark purple dress shirt, the first few buttons undone, the sleeves rolled up to right below my elbow.  I thought I dressed up enough, but compared to Minho, I began to second guess myself.

"Here you are.  Your server should be with you shortly." the hostess said as I pulled Jisoo's seat out for her.

"Thank you." I replied, taking the menus from her and placing one in front of Jisoo before sitting down in the vacant chair at the round table.

"I'm so glad you guys made it, I was beginning to worry you were kidnapped." Y/N teased, making me shake my head.

"I know, it's my fault.  I took too long getting ready." Jisoo said as she smiled at them both.

"Well it was worth it, you look amazing." Minho said, making Jisoo smile and look down at her menu.

"I know how you feel Jisoo.  I swear it took me two hours to get ready." Y/N responded, making me smile up at her.

"Noona, you look beautiful as always." I said, as she smiled back at me.

"Anyway, so what is good here?" Minho said, opening up the menu sitting in front of him.

"Their pasta is out of this world, or so I have heard. That is what I am leaning towards.." Noona said, opening her menu as well.

"You sure that's a good idea, babe?" Minho asked, looking up at her.

"It's just food, why not?  It's not like I'm getting surf and turf." she responded, looking up at him.

"No, I mean, aren't you trying to lose weight?  Pasta is so fatty." he replied. I bristled at the comment, wanting to tell him she was perfectly fine the way she was, but I bit my tongue, staring hard at my menu.

"Y-Yeah, you're right." she replied, her voice sounding a little deflated.

"It's just one meal, you deserve to splurge on something you enjoy even if it isn't on your specific eating plan.  Treat yourself, Noona." I said, as Minho rolled his eyes.  Sometimes this guy just got under my skin, but I always held back for Noona's sake.

"I'm probably just going to get a salad." Jisoo said as she scanned her menu.

"Do you want some wine, love?" I asked, looking over at my girlfriend.

"Ooooh, yes please!" she grinned, as I picked up the wine menu.

"What are going to get, babe?" Noona asked, looking at Minho who closed his menu.

"I think I'm going to get steak.  Can't go wrong with that." he replied, as I nodded in agreement. 

"I'm going to get the prime rib." I said, closing my menu as Noona's eyes brightened at my suggestion. I noticed her skimming the menu out of the corner of my eye, chewing on her lip until she closed it.

"I think I'm going to get a salad too." she said, making me want to sigh.

"That's my girl." Minho said, as I chewed the inside of my cheek.   We made pleasant conversation as we ordered our food and wine, sharing some laughs, the tension seeming to dissipate.  I held Jisoo's hand under the table as we waited for our food to arrive, rubbing my thumb over her soft skin.  As our food was brought out, I practically salivated at the plate put in front of me.

"That prime rib is way too pink for me." Jisoo said, before she took a bite of her salad.

"I like it pink." I grinned as she rolled her eyes and scoffed, Minho and Noona both laughing at my statement.

"Pink is the way to go."  Minho grinned as I took a bite.

"Minho, your steak barely has any pink." Noona said, giving him a raised eyebrow.

"You know what I mean." he replied as the girls grinned.  As we began to eat, Minho raved about how delicious his steak was, making Jisoo begin to look over at it longingly.

"That looks so good." she said, tucking her hair behind her ear after placing her fork down.

"You want my meat?" Minho smirked.  He cut her off a bite and placed it in her mouth, making her let out an audible groan.

"Mmmm, so good." She said, my mind going to places it didn't need to go at the moment.

"Noona, would you like a bite of my prime rib?  I know you love it." I said, cutting a piece.  She looked bright eyed for a moment before turning back to her salad, shaking her head with a smile.

"I'm good, but thank you Yoongi." she said, taking a sip of her wine.  Polite conversation continued as we ate our meal, all of us going into a food coma as it finished.

"Ugh, I shouldn't have eaten something so heavy, I have an appointment with my trainer first thing in the morning.  I'm going to be so groggy." Minho complained, rubbing his stomach.

"That's why I'm glad I got salad.  I have a dance class in the morning." Jisoo said, making Noona look up at her with a smile.

"Do you like those dance classes, Jisoo?" She asked, finishing her wine.

"I do!  They are so much fun and great exercise.  They keep me in good shape  but I'm always exhausted afterward." she said, folding her hands in her lap.

"Hmm, maybe I will join you one day and see how they are? I'm sure it could be fun." Noona smiled, making Minho scoff.

"You, dance?  Babe, I think you need to concentrate on getting to where you want to first, you would probably have trouble keeping up." Minho said, making me ball my hand into a fist.

"It's just dancing!  Who says I can't keep up?" she retorted, making me glad to see her sticking up for herself.

"I know, but I mean come on.  If it is enough to exhaust someone in excellent shape like Jisoo, you may want to reconsider." he replied.

"Minho..." Jisoo chided, as he looked up.

"What?  I'm being serious." he replied as Noona just sat there, the hurt evident in her eyes, even though she nodded.

"You're probably right." She said, making me seethe with anger.

"Noona, you can do whatever you set your mind to.  And there is nothing wrong with the way you are, you look amazing.  Don't let someone else's ideals change the way you view yourself." I said, shooting a look at Minho.

"Hey, she asked me to keep her motivated, that's all I'm doing." he replied, putting his hands up in defeat.

"By tearing her down?  That's not the way to keep someone motivated. Besides, you should be supporting her in whatever she wants, but not pushing her to do something you obviously want her to do." I snapped, as I looked at Noona.  She gave me a subtle shake of her head, mouthing the word 'please'. 

"I think the wine is making me tired." Jisoo said, yawning and breaking the tension at the table.

"Yeah, I think it's time we all head out.  I got the early appointment tomorrow since it was all he had available." Minho said, making me let out a sigh.  I stood up and helped Jisoo to her feet as Minho and Noona stood as well.  Jisoo walked around and gave Minho a hug goodbye as I walked around to Noona, wrapping her up in a big hug.

"Don't you listen to him, Noona.  You are perfect the way you are." I said softly into her ear as she squeezed me tighter. 

"Thank you Yoongi.  You really are the best." she said, smiling at me as we released from our hug.  Usually I would shake Minho's hand but I ignored him completely as Jisoo and Noona hugged goodbye.  I was quiet on the walk back to the car and even as I started driving, gripping the steering wheel.

"Baby, are you ok?  What's wrong?" Jisoo asked, making me let out a sigh.

"I'm just sick of Minho putting her down all the time." I said, not wanting to elaborate.

"It's their relationship, Yoongi. You won't make it any better by butting in." she said, making me get even angrier.

"She is my best friend, and if her boyfriend won't support her and stick up for her, then I have to.  Minho is just an ass." I said, turning down our road.

"He's not that bad.  I think you're blowing it out of proportion.  She didn't seem bothered by it." Jisoo replied, making me have to bite my tongue.  I wanted to say 'Yes she was, you don't know her like I do.', but I was afraid that it would only cause an argument, and that was the last thing I wanted to do right now.

"I'm sorry, I don't mean to ruin our nice evening together." I said with a sigh, even though in my eyes it was that asshat that ruined it.

"It's fine, baby.  Don't worry, I will work out some of that tension when we get home." she said as I continued to drive.  I wanted to tell her I wasn't in the mood, but I knew as soon as she was undressed and kissing on me, I would quickly change my mind.  I still couldn't help but think of my best friend, and feel sorry for the way that she was being treated.  I could only hope that one day things would get better.
