After several minutes in Yoongi’s arms, May suddenly heard her phone chime. Yoongi, hearing it too, loosened his hold on her as she bent her head to rummage through her purse looking for it.
She withdrew it a moment later and read the text. How on earth had she forgotten about Sherry? Five minutes in Yoongi’s company, and May had lost all sense! She and her friend were supposed to be grabbing dinner together, and instead she was standing in some back alley clinging to Yoongi.
Not that she thought that she’d made the wrong choice. But she hadn’t even remembered to text Sherry! May looked up at Yoongi as she clued him in, “It’s my friend, Sherry. I completely forgot! She and I are supposed to be eating dinner together tonight.”
Yoongi glanced down at the enchanting girl he still had his arms around. His heart sank. He didn’t want her to leave now.
“I’m supposed to be grabbing dinner with my friends too.” He paused for a moment, considering the possibilities. “Why don’t you both come with me?”
“What?” She gazed up into his lovely, sienna eyes. She smiled, still a little mesmerized by their beauty. His eyes looked so kind. They complemented his sweet face. He smiled at her, a little shyly.
“You and your friend – come to dinner with me and the guys.”
“BTS?”
He nodded.
She didn’t even have to think. “Ok…Should I tell her to meet us there?”
Yoongi nodded. “We’re only a block away from the restaurant. You can send her the address. Let me find it…”

A moment later, Sherry had the invite and the address in her possession.
She stared in wonder at her phone. WHAT?!!!!! May was with Yoongi?!!!! No wonder she hadn’t texted!!! And now they were both invited to dinner with all of BTS?
Eternally grateful that she had just showered and made herself as pretty as possible, she began to daydream about Jin as she put on her shoes and headed out into the hallway. It was a short walk to the restaurant.
In a few minutes, she’d be meeting Jin! What should she say to him? Would she even be able to speak? Or would she be tongue-tied in his worldwide-handsome presence?

Meanwhile, Yoongi very reluctantly let go of May. But he couldn’t stand the loss of her sweet heat, so he reached for her hand as they emerged from the alley to find the sidewalk once more. They walked hand in hand until they reached the pizza parlor. He smiled sadly at her before relinquishing her fingers.
“Cameras, you know?” he whispered.
Eyes wide, she nodded. She hadn’t even thought of that. She’d just been enjoying his comforting presence. She glanced wistfully at him. Would she ever be that close to him again?
