The voice, unmistakably Min Yoongi's, resonates in the room. With a slight bow, he gracefully acknowledges your presence, his eyes briefly scanning over Em. A charming smile graces his handsome face, a hint of curiosity in his gaze as it lingers over you. His smile and the look in his eyes take your breath away.

Em notices that you are standing there speechless. 'Ha, now you know how I felt.'  She almost laughs out loud.

Ki introduces you to Min Yoongi. "This is Miss Joy and Miss Poole. They are from One True Heaven Exotic Pet sitters."

Yoongi's smile widens as he speaks, his voice filled with genuine admiration. "That's an awesome name. It was one of the reasons Joon wanted to contact you." His gaze lingers on La, a clear sign of his interest.

The manager says, "Other than your excellent reputation, that is." 

When he catches Yoongi's stare and Lanne's reaction, he can't help but grin, thinking, 'Oh my, with just one look, has his heart's defenses been breached?'

Em gazes at you, grins, and shifts her foot to bump yours to snap you out of the fangirling stare.

"Hello, it's nice to meet you." You finally manage to say.

 Em's eyes follow the subtle change in LA's expression, a soft blush coloring her cheeks.  A spark of joy lights up Em's eyes. Seeing you blush brings a warm smile to Em's face, a silent testament to the joy she feels in this moment. Not only has she met Namjoon, but you have met the man of your dreams.

Namjoon, ever watchful, sees the sparkle in Em's eyes and softly sighs. His manager sees the looks being given and clears his throat.

"Namjoon, Yoongi, it's time we go." He looks up from his watch. "Thank you, Miss Joy and Miss Poole, for coming. We will see you tomorrow." He moves toward the door, and you and Em follow.

Yoongi says, "We can walk you to your car. Since we have to go down anyway."

Namjoon thinks it's a great idea and hurries ahead to push the elevator button. Smiling, he turns to watch everyone. When the elevator opens, he gestures to Em and then you through. "Ladies first." His cute dimples appear as he smiles.

Yoongi and his manager step in, and Yoongi stands behind you. Mr. Ki is beside Yoongi and watches as Yoongi's eyes roam over you from head to toe. Yoongi steps closer, straightening up as tall as he can, and smiles in satisfaction—he is taller than you, plus you smell delicious, almost like he just peeled a tangerine. 

He catches Mr. Ki watching him and steps back, slightly embarrassed.

Mr. Ki tries to hide his smile and coughs to cover the laugh. Em suddenly turns around. "Are you okay, Mr. Ki?" she asks.

 But as she turns, she bumps into you, slightly causing you to lose your balance. As you try to put your foot back to stop yourself from falling, you accidentally step on Yoongi's foot, losing your balance even more. Suddenly, warm arms are around your waist as he holds you steady. His face is close to yours.

"Are you okay, Miss Joy?"

Blushing, you step out of his arms, "I'm so sorry, Mr. Min. I didn't mean to step on your foot."

Trying to ease your embarrassment, he says, "It's okay. I have a spare and please call me Yoongi." He smiles at you with his cute, gummy smile. You both laugh along with Mr. Ki.

"You can call me Lanne." You give him a sweet smile, and then he says softly, teasing, "Lanne and not La?"

You laugh, "You can call me La if you want. It is a nickname Emily gave me when we met in high school. We became known as the dynamic duo of EM and LA." You quietly laugh, remembering some of the crazy stunts you two got up to in high school.

Yoongi is watching you laugh, standing there staring at you, when suddenly he smiles and says, "Lanne, that's pretty. May I call you Lanne?" 

He rather come up with a personal nickname for you. No sooner does he think that he wonders, 'What the hell, I hardly know her. Why am I longing to give her a nickname just between us?' He runs his hand through his hair to distract his thoughts from you.

With a slight blush, you tell him, "Yes, I'd like that." Shyly, you turn your gaze to the front of the elevator. 'He thinks my name is pretty.' A smile spread across your face.

Oblivious to your conversation with Yoongi, Namjoon, and Em are in their own little world, talking about crab habitats.

The elevator stops, and the door to the parking garage level starts to open. Namjoon lightly touches Em's back to walk with her off the elevator. You step out next and pause, waiting on Mr. Ki and Yoongi. They were whispering just outside the elevator as the doors closed.

Yoongi and Mr. Ki step up to Em, Namjoon, and you. Mr. Ki says, "Ladies, since we will see you tomorrow, would you both be willing to join us for a late lunch?"

Namjoon and Em turned to face Mr. Ki. Em was beaming from ear to ear. Then she sees the look on your face and mouths, 'Party pooper.'

Yoongi and Mr. Ki glance at each other, and Em realizes they saw her. 

You try not to laugh as you watch Em's cheeks become pink, then tell Mr. Ki, "Yes, that would be lovely. We would love to."

 Em gives you the side eye for making her think you would say no. She says sweetly, looking up at Namjoon, "I would love to, um, we, uh," she looks at Mr. Ki, "Yes, we would love to join you."

Taking Em by the arm, you politely make excuses to leave, "We have work back at the office, so we'll see you tomorrow." 

You start to walk away with Em as they say their goodbyes. The three say they are looking forward to tomorrow.

They head to where their car is parked, and you and Em get in your Dodge Challenger. You start the car and smile when you hear the exhaust rumble, and then you both watch as the car they're in leaves. With both hands on the steering wheel, you look over at Em.

You both suddenly scream in fangirl excitement and hug each other. "Do you think we will  see Jimin and the rest of them tomorrow too?" You excitedly ask Em as you both put on your seatbelts. You're done with fangirling for now.

Em leans her head back on the headrest and turns toward you, her eyes still bright with glee, "If we do meet Jimin, can you control yourself and not fangirl?"

You giggle, "It depends on what he's wearing."

"I take that as a NO." giggles Em.

You both laugh as you approach the security gate, and Em enthusiastically waves at the guard as he waves you through. You roll your eyes but smile to see Em so happy.
