La, Ki and a Sad Yoongi
They reach the parking garage, and stepping out of the elevator, Ki says, "I'll drive." He smiles, and you playfully say, "I call shotgun!" He starts laughing as he clicks the key fob to unlock the doors, and you take the front passenger seat.
Em and Namjoon are laughing with you and Ki, but Yoongi starts to bite his bottom lip, thinking, 'Is she romantically interested in Ki?'
You don't know why you feel like a little kid around Ki. He brings out your fun side. It wasn't very professional of you to call shotgun, but this wasn't a business lunch but a friend's lunch, so you let your guard down.
With you riding up front with Ki, Em, Namjoon, and Yoongi, ride in the back. On the way to the restaurant for lunch, some of the others had planned to join you there. You are not sure who other than Jimin.
Sitting up front with Ki, you carried on a conversation that flowed easily. Em and Namjoon talked about crabs and shared stories about how each little crab came into their life.
Yoongi sits as close to the car door as he can, leaning away from Em and Namjoon. He wants to hear about crabs only if they are Snow Crabs with warm melted butter for dipping.
He glances over at them and then turns to face the front. Seeing your side profile as you laugh at something Ki said. He thinks, 'I will ask Lanne if she wants to go out for dinner before we leave on tour. I wonder what she likes?'
You laugh at something else Ki said, and he pouts and looks out the window for the rest of the trip. You and Ki seem to be forming a close friendship. He closes his eyes for a quick catnap, trying to fill his mind with thoughts of sleep instead of you.
'One more week and we leave for tour. Thank goodness.'
Ki stops in front of the restaurant, and you feel underdressed. The valet comes, and Ki hands him the keys.
"Good day, sir." He bows to Ki, smiling.
"Hi, Max. How are the kids?" asks Ki as he walks around the front of the car to open the door for you. He holds his hand out for you to take as you get out. You smile, a little embarrassed at your attire. It is business but casual business. You had no idea you would be having lunch at such a posh restaurant.
Ki senses your unease and leans close to your ear. Yoongi frowns at how close he is as he exits the back seat.
"Don't worry, Lanne. You look fine. Beautiful, if I do say so myself." He holds his arm out for you to take while you wait for the others to join you.
Yoongi overheard the part where he called you beautiful and grimaced.
You catch Em's eye, and you can tell she feels the same about the restaurant; it is so posh, and she feels a little uncomfortable. Namjoon, perceptive as he is, notices her uneasiness.
"Emily, don't fret. We always come here, sometimes just in sweats and hoodies. It's alright, and you look very nice."
He thinks, 'More than just nice. She looks beautiful.' He smiles as they reach you and Ki.
Yoongi, feeling like a fifth wheel now, grumbles, "Okay, let's go in; I'm hungry." He walks past you and Ki quickly and enters. Namjoon catches the door to hold it open for the rest of you to follow.
You and Em stop inside the door in awe as you look around. The place is beautiful. Em leans close, whispering, "They come here for lunch!? La, it would take one pay period for me to be able to come here just for an appetizer."
You understand how she feels, and you smile, "Okay, you can give yourself a raise . . . partner." That breaks the anxiety for her, and she softly laughs.
The maître d' meets you at the door and spoke with Ki.
"Welcome. The others are already seated. Follow me." He turns and leads your small group to a screened-off section of the restaurant.
You follow behind Namjoon, Em, and Ki. Yoongi walks beside you, glad you aren't walking with Ki, although he is surprised. He smiles at being beside you.
Once behind the screen, the others stand and give polite bows, and you and Em return the greeting. You both are fangirling on the inside because ALL of them are here. You and Em are having lunch with Bangtan Sonyeondan, and you can't believe it. You are here with the One True Seven.
Ki begins introductions.
"Miss Joy, Miss Poole, let me introduce you to the rest of Bangtan Sonyeondan. He smiles and gestures to each one as he presents them. You and Em smile at each one.
Em gives you a slight nudge whispering, "I think Jimin likes you. His eyes say he could eat you alive." You blush, and she giggles at you.
"Stop teasing me. I'm already nervous just being here with Yoongi."
