The following day, you meet at Namjoon's with Em. As you walk to the elevator, Yoongi greets you. He pushes the button to call the elevator.

"Good morning, Miss Poole," he smiles at her briefly before turning to you with a sweet, endearing smile. "Good morning, Lanne."

"Good morning, Yoongi." You shyly return the greeting.

"Good morning, Mr. Min. How are you doing today, Mr. Min?" Em is a little irritated that he didn't ask her to call him by his name, too.

"I'm doing well, thanks for asking. Please call me Yoongi?" He courteously asks.

Em smiles and thinks, 'About time.'

"I'm happy you are well today, Yoongi." She inwardly cheers, 'Yay! Now I'm on a first-name basis with two of the members.'

The ding signals that the door is about to open. He gently places his hand on your arm to walk into the elevator, and Em follows, smiling. You sneak a glance back at her as Yoongi pushes the button to Namjoon's floor. You exchange grins, and she wiggles her eyebrows at you.

You cough to cover a giggle that was trying to escape. Em can't stop herself and laughs.

Yoongi turns to her, "What's so funny? Do I have something on the back of my pants?"

Em blushes, "Oh no, I'm just happy to see the little crabs today. I love crabs. I have three, you know. So taking this job is," Em wonders why La is looking at her funny, and then she catches on. She is rambling again. "I'm sorry for rambling; I'm just excited to see the little crabs."

She squeezes your hand as a silent thank you, and you nod.

The elevator dings as it stops on Namjoon's floor. Yoongi steps back to let Em off first, then smiles at you, holding his arm out for you to take.

When you reach the door to Namjoon's apartment, Yoongi opens it and holds it while you two walk in. You let Em go through first, then you enter. As you pass Yoongi, you catch a hint of his cologne and your heart races.

Namjoon and Ki are sitting in the living room and stand to greet you. Namjoon greets you and quickly whisks Em off with him, telling her, "You just have to see what the trio are doing. It is so funny..." Their conversation fades as they go to the habitat room.

You smile as you watch them go side by side down the hall, and he slips his arm over Em's shoulder in friendly companionship as he leans a little closer to talk to her.

Ki softly laughs, "He has been so excited for you to arrive. All he's been talking about is showing Miss Poole the trio's antics today."

You and Yoongi laugh. "He has found a kindred spirit in Em regarding the little crabs." You fondly tell Ki.

"Are you sure he wasn't excited because he would see Em again today?" You tease Ki.

He hardily laughs, "I think that is closer to the truth, Lanne." You lay a hand on his arm and join him in laughing.

You notice Yoongi is watching you both, but you can't tell what he is thinking. His face is blank.

Yoongi is wondering if you and Ki are forming a friendship of sorts. He feels slightly disappointed if that is the case. 'Does she prefer older men?'

You tell Ki, "I think there is a spark of instant chemistry between the two. I noticed it yesterday."

He chuckles, "I saw it too." In a somber tone, he says, "It's a shame he has to be away for six months."

You notice that Yoongi is still blankly watching Ki and you. Ki notices the look on Yoongi's face and yours and decides to take action.

Changing the subject, he picks up papers from the coffee table, "If you'd come with me, we can take care of this part."

He leads you into the dining room where you sat yesterday to review the contract.

"Mr. Kim has already signed. He is more than happy to have your company, or should I say, Miss Em, take care of his tiny crab family."

He slides the papers over to you, and you sign. Then, you separate the original from the carbon copy and hand the original back to him.

"Thank you. I know she is looking forward to caring for them."

He grins, "I'm sure she is. Oh, and before I forget, he wanted me to make sure you give her his number. He wants her to call him daily and tell him how they're doing."

"Every day? How will she know when it's best to call, with the time zones and all, so she doesn't end up disturbing him."

"Oh, I'll tell you what. Let me have her number, and he can call her when he can." He smiles mischievously.

"Ki, he just wants her number, am I right?" You laugh, thinking it is so cute.

"Yes, he was too shy to ask her for it himself. He plans on telling her everything about the crabs today. So I know they will be a while as he shows her how the climate system works in ALL the habitats and explains their food and where he keeps anything they may need."

Yoongi walks in on the conversation, "I'm surprised he hasn't put a habitat in the bathroom yet." His machine gun laughter makes you giggle.

"Well, the paperwork is all done. Em will be here the night you leave to go to the airport. May I ask where she will be sleeping while here?"

Yoongi grins and leaves the room, and you hear his laugh fade. Confused, you look at Ki, "What was that about?"

Ki says, "Don't mind, Yoongi. It's just that the spare bedroom is being used as storage for the new habitat. Namjoon bought it before the tour was announced and hasn't had time to assemble it. She will have to sleep in his room."

You pinch the bridge of your nose, thinking, 'Oh my gosh, she is going to freak the freak out! She will be sleeping in HIS bed!'

"I'm sure she wouldn't mind sleeping on the couch if that is ok with him." You tell Ki, not sure it would be appropriate for her to sleep in his bed, or you for that matter, when Em takes her days off.

"Oh, no, he wouldn't dream of it. He has arranged his room so she can have her things here while he is gone. We will be gone for six months after all. He wants to ensure she is as comfortable as his crab family." He smiles and gives a wink.

You sigh, "This will be so hard for her, I'm sure." You both look at each other and then laugh.
