Ray POV:

When Ray left the restaurant for the evening, she was a bit confused. Normally the members of BTS would flirt with her, trying to get a reaction out of her. When she returned to their table to take their order, they were extremely polite, even a little short with her. Ray didn't understand what had happened. Even Jungkook refused to make eye contact with her.

Ray arrived at her apartment and kicked her shoes off by the door. She had worked a double shift and was dead tired. She had to finish a drafting project by tomorrow, but she was too tired to work on it now. Since it was a Saturday night, the restaurant had been really busy and Ray spent the evening dashing back and forth between tables.

Ray quickly took a shower, and then settled in her bed with her computer. She had been meaning to watch the video Jungkook had mentioned almost a week before. She searched for them, trying to remember the name of the video. She found what looked like their official YouTube site and clicked on it. She looked at recently loaded videos and clicked on the one called "Dynamite." It had been posted seven days prior. That must be it, she said to herself.

As Ray watched the video, she couldn't help but get caught up in the catchy beat. It was definitely a fun sounding song. They were extremely talented and amazing dancers. She was impressed by how in sync they were. She clicked on the next recommended video. It was titled "My Time." She was immediately caught up in the lyrics and was absolutely amazed by the voice of Jungkook. His voice was angelic and pure sounding.

After the video ended, Ray shut down her computer. She didn't want to get caught up in watching their videos and fall down into their fandom. She had too many things she needed to do and spending hours watching an idol group was not one of those things.

BTS POV:

It had been almost two weeks since BTS went back to the restaurant. They had been practicing for an upcoming concert and were too tired by the end of the day to go anywhere. They had been lucky enough this time to only have a short meeting and a costume fitting. They would be performing songs from their new album and they wanted to make sure everything was perfect.

They were seated at their normal table and Ray arrived a few moments later.

"How come you haven't come in a while?" she blurted out. Ray seemed to realize what she had said and flushed a bright red. "I apologize for my rudeness. Good evening and welcome. Can I start you off with a drink?"

Jin looked surprise at her bluntness. "It's okay. We've been getting ready for a concert and have been very busy," he said soothingly.

"Awww did you miss us babe?" Jimin asked, a grin on his full lips. His grin widened when he noticed her face flushed even brighter.

Hoseok smiled at her reaction. They had thrown her off balance. They were used to her cool, polite demeanor, but now she seemed almost flustered.

Ray looked down at the pad in her hands. "I was just wondering. You usually come in at least once a week," she said quietly.

Namjoon smiled at her. "Nice to see that you notice us. I didn't think you did," he replied.

Ray looked up in surprise at his tone. The words were polite enough, but the tone sounded almost scolding. "I watched your video," she said softly.

Jungkook's bunny smile appeared immediately. "You did? Did you like it? What did you think?"

"It was very good," Ray replied. "You're all very talented. I also watched your solo video."

Jungkook was shocked. He felt much happier than he should of at her admission. "You did?" he said again.

Ray nodded. "You have a beautiful voice," she said quietly.

Jungkook ducked his head bashfully. "Thank you," he replied just as quietly.

Ray shook her head as if to clear it. "Can I get you anything to drink?" she asked.

As they placed their drink order, Hoseok couldn't help but notice something different about Ray. Although her demeanor was still polite, he couldn't help but notice that her smile seemed to be genuine. She had even blushed when Jimin had flirted with her. That was definitely new.

Hoseok turned when he noticed voices coming from the curtain. The members of GOT7 had entered the room and were directed to their table. GOT7 waved at BTS getting a wave in return. Ray came in from the kitchen and noticed the new table. She immediately greeted them with a genuine smile.

"Hey pretty girl," Mark said, loud enough to be heard across the room.

"Hi Mark, guys," Ray replied before heading to BTS's table and distributing drinks.

Taehyung was surprised. Ray had just greeted Mark on a first name basis. She had been waiting on them for 3 months and he had never once heard their names come from her pretty lips. "Are you and Mark friends?" Taehyung couldn't help but ask.

Ray flushed again. "Umm.. they've been in here several times," she said.

Jimin pouted. "So have we and I've never heard you say our names," he replied, sounding insulted.

Ray looked over at the GOT7 table and back again. "Umm... last time they were here, they asked me to call them by name," she replied.

Hoseok turned and looked at Ray's pretty face. "So if I ask you to call me by name, will you?" he asked.

Ray hesitated, but then responded. "Uh... I guess if you want me to."

"I do," Hoseok quickly replied. "My friends call me Hobi, so that's what you can call me too, okay?

"Okay Hobi," Ray said softly.

Hoseok almost melted at the way his name sounded coming off her lips. It was almost as though she was singing it.

"Oh oh oh... me too!" Jungkook said. "Jungkook, JK, or Kookie is fine. I'll answer to any of them."

"I think I like JK," Ray said, smiling at him bashfully.

Jungkook looked smitten at the way she said his name. His bunny smile brightened and his cheeks turned pink. "I like the way you say JK," he admitted.

Ray POV:

Ray looked down at her watch and realized how much time had passed. She flushed in embarrassment and hurriedly took their food order. She rushed it into the kitchen and headed to the GOT7 table.

"I'm so sorry for the wait," she said quickly.

Mark reached out and patted her hand. "It's okay pretty girl. Just don't want you to forget about us and leave us for them."

Ray laughed and pulled her hand back, causing Mark to laugh out loud at her bashfulness. Ray took their order, laughing at BamBam's obvious flirting and Yugyeom's bad jokes. She took the order into the kitchen and picked up BTS's food.

When she arrived at the table, Ray noticed the usual sunny smile missing from Hoseok's face. He had a dark glare on his face and looked irritated. When Ray set down his food, he looked at her and she gave him a bright smile. He hesitated then returned it with one of his own.

Once both tables had left, Ray went back into the main dining room. They were busy again and Ray had a feeling it was going to be a long night.
