Act 3: Scene14

Minx approached the dining room hall, dark and silent apart from her timid steps in her heels over the carpet. A chill ran over her body, goosebumps ravishing her exposed shoulders in the dress Yoongi instructed her to wear. The halter neck strap spread over her breasts, exposing her sternum, the cool silver of her Chanel necklace dangling from her neck being the only thing keeping her grounded.

Part of her felt guilty for not taking the sentimental item off before she tied the straps of the gown around her neck, but she couldn't bring herself to. The pendant brought her comfort and strength. It represented the one thing keeping her level headed and present in her final days in the dragon's lair.

She takes a few leveling breaths before pressing forward against the dining room doors, stepping onto the deep maroon carpet and gasping when her eyes settle on the long dark mahogany dining table set for two, long white candles lining the strip of white cloth stretching down the center and hanging off either end.

Yoongi stood the moment he heard the doors open, smoothing the lapels of his blazer and the front of his pants as he prepared to greet Minx. She steps forward, suddenly feeling naked and exposed under his hot gaze, and meets him halfway near the end of the table.

"You look beautiful.." Yoongi's dark eyes sparkled in the candlelight, peering down at Minx with an unquestionable affection that made her heart lurch.

He was the one to talk in his black turtle neck sweater and black dinner coat, fitted and tailored to cling to his slender fit frame. His scent was a heady combination of mint and cologne, a hit something soft and sweet. Almost floral.

Yoongi knew he could wear the hell out of the simplest of things. His style was always so chill yet defined and classy. He was effortlessly clean, so much so that Minx found his presence intimidating. Now though, more than usual.

"Thank you." She managed to find her voice and Yoongi nods softly as he walks around her to one end of the table.

"Come. Sit." He steps away, gesturing towards the chair he'd just pulled out and Minx steps towards him. She slowly eases herself into the seat and Yoongi tucks her underneath the table before heading for his own seat on the opposite end.

Just as Minx is about to open her mouth, three men dressed in white dress shirts and slacks emerge from the doors behind Yoongi wheeling a cart with two silver domed lid covered plates. As one is set before Yoongi, one of the men moves swiftly to fill both his and Minx's glass with dark red wine.

"Yoongi...what is this?" Minx finally asks as she leans back to give room for the large covered plate to be placed before her.

"Dinner." He shrugs, picking up his dinner napkin and laying it over his lap. The lids are lifted and Minx is instantly hit with the most intoxicating smells of steak smothered in garlic butter paired with lush steamed vegetables and seasoned red potatoes.

"I mean. I can see that but..." She trails off and Yoongi nods, already knowing what she meant.

"...I've been feeling guilty about how our first real date ended. I had much more planned but as you know we were...interrupted." He tilts his head as he sliced through the large cut of steak on his plate.

"So this is to make up for that. I wanted to do something special." he continues, glancing up at Minx briefly before redirecting his attention to his food. Minx looks down at the mouth-watering spread on her plate, her stomach groaning in need of sustenance.

But she hesitated. As romantic and genuine as this gesture seemed, its timing was impeccable. From the house being completely deserted to Hoseok's strange behavior and cryptic words to Yoongi's sudden nonchalance towards the extravagance of their evening...
