"It has been a while! I miss the smell!" Hyun Ae excitedly said as she took a seat at the four-seat table of the barbeque restaurant while Yoongi sat across her.

The restaurant was almost full of customers; every table had its own moment. Laughing, drinking, chatting, and all.

Just a perfect dinner surrounding.

"The mood. The people. Grilled meats in front of me, oh! That looks like a company dinner or birthday party, something. So festive!" Hyun Ae continued as she glanced over to a big group of people behind her when a lady approached them with two menus in her hands.

"Welcome. If you're ready to order, just call any of our waiters," the old lady smiled, placing down the menus on their table, and excused herself.

"Order anything you want. It's on me," Yoongi said, placing down his phone and opening the menu.

"Really? Anything? I don't want to eat too much though. I need to watch my diet."

"Girl..." he sighed, his eyes looking up at her with annoyance. "Just eat anything. Namjoon won't be happy if he sees you being too thin like a sick person."

Hyun Ae clicked her tongue and grumbled, but she knew that it was no use to fight him back. Because she already knew him well.

"I think I'll only take the bibimbap set," she said, pointing her finger at the dish name on the menu.

"That's it? Really?" Yoongi asked, making sure that she really was going to only have a set of simple bibimbap.

"Yeah. I can't really eat much if I'm in this dress, for your information," she chuckled.

Yoongi shook his head before he put up his hand and called out for a nearby waiter. A young waiter made his way to them with a pen and a notebook in his hand.

"Two bibimbap sets, and meat servings for two," Yoongi ordered, piling up the menu books and passing them to the waiter.

"Drinks?" the waiter asked.

"Oh-"

"Beer!" Hyun Ae suddenly blurted out. Yoongi sharply turned his head with a glare.

"What? No," Yoongi muttered under his breath, shaking his head.

"Why?"

"You're not good with alcoholic stuff. Plus, if Hyun Wook found out that you're drunk, I'm dead."

"Please, please. Let me just have a glass, that's it. Please, please..." Hyun Ae whined, placing her hand on his and shaking it, pleading.

"I said no," he firmly said and looked up at the waiter. "Just one bottle of beer. And a bottle of coke for her."

The waiter finally left both of them, and Yoongi noticed her sulky expression as she stared at her phone's black screen.

"Oh, come on. Don't make that face with me. It's for your own good," he sighed, slumping back into his seat as he looked around.

"I'm in the state of needing something like that to drink. I'm pretty sad, you know? I'm a stupid girlfriend, I've told him to take a break from me, and now I'm the one in depression state for not seeing him for a week," she pouted, covering her face with her hands as she continued. "And stuffed me with junk for days until I gained weight. And now you're doing this to me?"

"H-Hey. I..." Yoongi found himself in a state of giving up and he finally groaned. "Fine! I'll give you. But only one glass!"

Suddenly she looked up at him, a wide smile across her face showing him that she had succeeded in coaxing him.

Her acting got him well.

"Really? Yes! You're the best, Yoongi oppa! I love you so much!" she cheerfully said, grabbing his hand again, feeling glad.

Wow. Wished to hear that in a different meaning.

"You're one of the best friends I ever had," she smiled at him, unaware of his inner thoughts.

*****

"One shot! Two shot!"

"Hyun Ae, shhh! People are staring at you!" Yoongi reminded her, but it was no use at all.

Though their table was at the corner, some customers were glancing at them when Hyun Ae finally went drunk after a few glasses.

And Yoongi had lost his focus on her drinking as they continued chatting when she kept pouring the drink for herself.

"Who cares? Ayo! What are you looking at-" Hyun Ae grumbled, turning to her right where she caught a guy staring at her.

When she began to point out her finger to the guy, Yoongi was quick to pull her hand back and apologized to the guy.

"You only have a few glasses. Now I understand why Hyun Wook forbids you from drinking alcohol," he sighed as he moved and sat next to her, calling out to the nearest waiter for the bill.

After he paid for their dinner, he picked up her sling bag and shouldered it along with his own bag. He then made sure she was standing properly before scooping her up in bridal style.

"Whoa, I'm flying! 'We're going from Tokyo, Italy~'" Hyun Ae began to sing in her drunken state as she threw her arms around his neck.

"Shut up!" Yoongi hissed under his breath as he quickly made his way to the restaurant's entrance, which was luckily not that far from them.

When they arrived at his car, he put her down and began to look for his key in his bag when suddenly Hyun Ae placed her chin on his shoulder, making weird sounds.

"Aw. Suga ppongppong ish mad at me?" she slurred, then let out a breathy giggle that sent chills through his spine.

"Hyun Ae, I... Get in the car. Now," Yoongi directed as he unlocked the car and pulled the door open. She obeyed and went into the front passenger seat.

"I'm so dead," he then whispered to himself, as he closed the door and began to walk around his car to the driver's seat and entered it. "Put on your seatbelt."

"Ay, ay, pilot," she responded, doing the salute pose before pulling the seatbelt, but it was stuck. "Eh? Pilot oppa, I can't pull this-"

"Goddamn it, Hyun Ae," Yoongi grumbled, clearly annoyed now. He turned over to her side and grabbed the belt. But he paused as soon as he felt something warm emanating from her body.

He placed his hand on her forehead, then her neck and arms before he told her, "your body's hot."

Hyun Ae began to hum as she half-opened her eyes and when she saw Yoongi was close to her, she moved closer to him and smirked, "Is that a way to get laid with me tonight?"

He gasped inside, a bit frozen but then he got a hold of himself again. "What nonsense are you talking about?! Why don't you... sleep?"

"Shuuu~" she whispered as Yoongi reached out to the other side of her seat and reclined it to make her at comfortable.

"Huh," he finally let out, throwing himself back into his seat and breathing out. He looked over to sleeping Hyun Ae and smiled.

"Fool. I shouldn't have allowed you to drink," he whispered to himself before he took off his coat and placed it on top of her.

Nonetheless, she's still cute even though she's in this state.
