After you find out Yoongi has left, you lose interest in lunch. You try to be polite and pay attention to Jimin, but your mind keeps drifting to Yoongi and how the atmosphere around you is different, lonely somehow, in a room full of people.

Between laughing at Jungkook's antics that he got up to, as told by Namjoon, and Jungkook refuting them as not being that bad, you did notice La's chest-fallen appearance. You knew she was excited to be out with Yoongi, even if the others were here too.

As quickly as you noticed the change in La, you were pulled back into Namjoon's story.

Smiling at Jungkook, you softly snort, "That's why they call you Bunny? Oh, how cute." You coo to Jungkook, and he made a face, causing you to laugh so hard you tilted over onto Namjoon. 

Namjoon smiles when your head rests on his shoulder, and you place your hand on his arm to steady yourself. Quickly realizing what you're doing, you blush, looking into his soft brown eyes.

He is caught by your gentle touch and the light fragrance of your hair as it brushes against his shoulder, releasing its strawberry coconut scent. He softly inhales, and a smile spreads across his face. 'Mmm, strawberries.' 

His eyes drift to your soft pink lips, and he is suddenly uncomfortable in his chair and shifts his weight, placing his napkin over his lap. 'Damn, what is this girl doing to me?' he is trapped by the soft curve of your lips as you smile, 'Why am I so drawn to her? Does she work magic? She has spelled me, no, that's not possible.'

You and Jungkook are both staring at Namjoon, and Jungkook, frustrated, says, "Earth to hyung, earth to hyung, come in, Namjoon-hyung." 

You covered your mouth, trying not to giggle, but Jungkook had asked him three times what he was going to do after lunch since their free time ends in two more days. When he realized Jungkook was talking to him, the look on his face was so cute as you watched his face softly blush.

Namjoon glances at you and then turns his attention to Jungkook. "Well, we do have the next two days off before heavy rehearsal starts. I was thinking of going to the beach."

"Can I go too? I would love a swim." excited, Jungkook looks expectantly at his hyung for an answer.

Pulling his phone out of his pocket, his swift glance at La went unnoticed by Em and Jungkook.

"Um, excuse me, guys. I have a business call to take care of. I'll be right back." He leaves and heads outside to the patio, where he sits at a table near large leafy plants, out of view from others.

Jimin has somehow managed to inch his chair closer to you, pretending you didn't notice you turned and talked to Taehyung, ignoring the seat left empty by Yoongi's departure. 

"Mr. Kim, how is little Tannie doing?" 

Little did you know that Tannie is one of Taehyungs favorite topics of conversation. He favors you with his sweet, boxy smile as he starts to tell you about Tannie's latest shopping adventure at Gucci's when your phone vibrates that you have an incoming text.

"Excuse me a second, Mr. Kim, I have a business text." You open your text messages for the business. Taken by surprise by who is texting you. It was Namjoon. 

Kim Namjoon - Miss Joy, could you meet me on the patio? It's on your left.

You look and see him peeking in at you behind a large leaf. You almost giggle. 

You text back. 

OT7 Exotic Pets - Me and not Emily?

Kim Namjoon - It's important. I need to ask you something. About Emily.

OT7 Exotic Pets - Ok, I'll be right out.

Kim Namjoon - Don't let on you are talking to me, please.

OT7 Exotic Pets - Sure. Be out in a minute.

You put your cell phone away and apologize to Taehyung. "I'm so sorry. That was rude of me to interrupt your story, but I need to make a business call." 

"That's fine, I understand." He wonders if anyone else noticed that you and his hyung got business calls about the same time. He glances around, but it doesn't appear anyone has.

You get up and leave the table after taking a glance at Em. She is in deep conversation with Jungkook and J Hope, beside him, about their pet dogs, Bam and Mickey.

You walk onto the patio and sit at the little table behind the large leaf plant.

"What is it, Mr. Kim? Is it about the contract of care for your crab family?" You are unsure why he would need to talk to you without others knowing? They all know your company, Em especially, is taking care of them.

Wondering if your eyes are playing tricks, you scoot your chair closer to the shade. 'He is blushing!'

"You can call me Namjoon if you want to. I think we should be friends, too, and on a first-name basis, as Emily's friends."

"Okay, Namjoon." you smile, "What can I help you with?"

"Emily." he lowers his head bashfully as he blushes.

Taken completely by surprise, you stammer, "Wha . . what, Emily?"

Suddenly, a bright smile graces your face. "You like her, don't you?" You can't contain your joy. You knew it, just knew it.

"Yes, I do, and I want to ask you something."

You lean close, placing your elbows on the table and your chin on your hands. "What do you want to know?" you are grinning ear to ear, waiting for his first question.

"Is she, is she  . . . dating anyone?"

Immediately responding, you answer, "No." excited about where this could be leading.

"Does she, I mean is she crushing on anyone currently?"

"Yes, she is. She is in the midst of a very heavy crush."

His shoulders slump in disappointment. "Oh, okay. I'm sorry I bothered you, Miss Joy." He makes a move to leave the table.

Reaching out, you hold his hand, "Please sit, Namjoon. I have something to tell you."

'Oh my god, she is going to tell me that it is more than a crush that Em is engaged.'

If it is even possible, his shoulders seem to slump a little more as he sits back down.

"I must tell you something, but you must promise me you will never let Emily know I told you."

He starts panicking, 'Oh no, what could be so bad that she doesn't want Emily to know she told me?'

"Namjoon, Em has a heavy crush on someone, and that someone is you." 

Judging by the look on his face, 'I think his spirit has left his body! Why is he looking that way?'

"Mr. Kim, um Nam, Namjoon, are you alright?" you worriedly ask as you place a hand over his. "Namjoon?"
