"So is he ever making a move?" Jimin asked. He was laid on the floor of the dance studio, resting his head on his boyfriend's lap.

"I don't know. He's hopeless without someone to interfere or wingman for him. Why don't you do it?" Yoongi asked.

"Why me? I haven't even met her yet." Jimin fought back. "Plus, he'll get mad at me."

"We'll just leave it to him." Yoongi said. "Last time you got mad at me."

"Whatcha guys talking about?" Jungkook asked, walking in with Taehyung.

"Lunch plans." Yoongi said, no one else knew about Sarang other than he and Jimin.

"Lame." He said, beginning to gather his things from the floor. "Are you guys staying here longer? We finished for today."

"We know but we don't want to leave until we decide on what we want to eat." Jimin said, going along with Yoongi's cover up.

"Alright, well I'm gonna head out. I'll see you guys tomorrow when we film." Jungkook said, leaving the couple and Taehyung in the studio.

"So what were you really talking about?" Taehyung asked. Yoongi and Jimin looked at him shocked, that he knew they weren't being honest about lunch plans. "Yoongi scratches the side of his nose when he lies."

"The kid's a genius." Yoongi said. "And to answer your question, Sarang."

"Why?" Taehyung asked, genuinely lost as to why the girl he likes was their topic of conversation.

"We were discussing the chances of you making a move and asking her out." Jimin stated.

"I will at some point. Just don't interfere." Taehyung said, directing his second statement to Yoongi.

"I won't. But do it sooner rather than later. It torture seeing how long its taking you."

Taehyung had gone home and thought about what Yoongi and Jimin had told him. He decided he'd waited long enough, his first encounter with her was roughly 3 months ago. She was a sweet girl, one he would love to spend time with outside of her work. But if he did, he had to think things through, he didn't want to put her at risk with the crazy 'fans' that would undoubtedly try to hurt her somehow. A private area would be perfect, his home seemed a bit intimate but it was his only option. It was worth a try to ask her.

Sarang was close to ending her shift. She hadn't seen Taehyung come in all week but didn't think much of it. He was a busy man and his life obviously didn't revolve around her. She was wiping down tables and switching the lights off of the sections she had finished clearing. The bell rang, making her turn her head in the direction to see who had come in. "You know we close in 7 minutes, right?" She asked the man who she had quite honestly been dying to see.

"Yes but I haven't seen you in seven days." He said, smiling at her. "I'm also not buying anything, but I wanted to catch you before you left."

"What for?" She asked, stopping herself from sweeping the floors and directing her attention to Taehyung.

"I need to know something only you can tell me." He said. "I need a day and hour when you aren't busy. I want to steal you for a bit."

"How long is a bit?" Sarang asked.

"As long as I can possibly have you for before you absolutely have to leave." He said, smiling down to her.

"I'm free Thursday after my shift ends at 4:45." She said, resting her chin on the broom stick.

"Perfect, you're now busy with me afterwards. But only if you're comfortable with coming with me to my apartment. I'd pick a more public setting but I think you know how crazy 'fans' can get." Taehyung said to her.
