Mathematical attraction

Chapter 87

Namjoon's P.O.V.
"Thanks! I'll see you in two days for my foot." Wonhae drove away in his car leaving us alone in the apartment Minho shared with her friend Eunho. "Want to order something? I'm starving!.."

After looking through the list of places open, we settled on a ramen shop. "It'll be ready in 25 minutes."

She smiled sitting on the kitchen counter. "So... We're all alone? Just you and I?"

Wow. It's true that it never happened except on the mountain. We could do whatever we wanted. "Seems so.." I stood in front of her, hands resting next to her thighs. "I have an idea."

She rolled her eyes, then held my face. "Then just do it already." Her hands brought me close to her, our lips meeting, softly, yet eagerly. I fell so hard for that girl. Her hair felt so soft under my fingers, her cheek so smooth. Wait.. was that a tongue? All was continuously gentle every time until now. The gentleman in me was fading in that moment. Even in the heat of this exchange, it never crossed my mind to put my hands elsewhere. Her nails felt so nice as they massaged my scalp gently making their way through my hair. Her fingertips caressed my cheekbones to my jawline. We pulled away. Her eyes looking deep into mine, creasing into a smile, like her lips.

Her teeth showing as she laughed. "You should see your face! Your mouth is agape and everything."

"Well I have the right to be flabbergasted! I only got pecks and soft kisses, but now this?"

Her slap on my chest hurt. "Come on! Think I'd do that risking to get caught? No sir!"

"Well lucky me." I pulled her for another kiss.

"You guys got food without me? I love that place!" Eunho noona stopped in her tracks, our bag of food in hand. "Oh- should I.. go?"

Minho met my lips anyway before getting off the counter. "Nah you can stay! We wanted to watch Avatar. Wanna join us?"

We soooo could've gotten caught.
Noona tapped my shoulder.  "Relax Joonie. I'm the only other one with a key. Kiss and snuggle as much as you'd like. I want popcorn tho!"

Minho's P.O.V
It was weirdly liberating to be able to be ourselves around a friend. Snuggling together watching a movie while Eunho kindly did the commentaries was so.. relaxing. It was very late now that I looked at the time. We arrived here at 8pm. With a 3h movie and a rough day, 11pm was late. "You guys wanna watch something else?"

"I don't think so eonni, but thanks. I'll head to bed." I answered, reluctantly pushing myself out of the comfortable position I was in.

Joonie followed. "Me too, if you don't mind."

I saw her face. "Wipe that smug expression! We're just going to sleep." I grabbed him by the hand. "Goodniiight~"

Namjoon's P.O.V.
The door closed behind us, Minho went into her bag and pulled out a book. "How about some reading time before bed?" Boy did she know me well. We settled in our pj's, night lights on. Only the sound of flipping pages could be heard for the good part of an hour.

Her book met with her night table as she yawned. "Goodnight Joonie."

A lingering kiss. "Goodnight Minmin."

"So... How did your escapade with the miss go?" Hoseok hyung asked as we walked to the dorm. I think my dorky expression said it all. "That went very well huh?"

"More than well."

He seemed as excited as I was. "You're dating eachother for real?!"

"Shh! Yes, but don't tell anyone. Especially not Yoongi hyung."

Somehow, everyone knew and understood why except my girlfriend. "No kidding, he'd kill you. He loves that girl. They're childhood best friends."

He didn't look at her that way. That much I knew. "He's overprotective, and I get that. But she's not a doll. She's human."

Hyung shoved his hands in his pockets. "She's a cute, smart and reckless girl with a medical condition. Can't blame him. After moving from Daegu it's like she went bonkers to him."

Fair enough, but she had the right to do what she wanted and understand the price of her choices. "Yeah, but she says she never felt so happy and alive. Can you really blame her? She wins medals, she's trying to qualify for the Olympics in a couple of years, she's friends with Minho from SHINee.. She has friends other than him for once too. She gets to date. Minmin told me stories of guys approaching her. I've seen it live. I'm happy she's living her best live."

In that track of thoughts..."You know he'll find out someday."

I shrugged. "Not today. He's having a rough time as is."

He nodded and changed the subject. "Hey, if we become as big as SHINee sunbaenim, think you two will last?"

That was dark. It hadn't been two months yet. "I hope we get there, but what do you mean?"

He was in dream land. "Girls could be all over us! You could have anyone you want."

Have? "I could be with anyone I want probably, sure, but no one is like her. I smile when she calls me a dummy. She's cocky, but caring. She's my friend. It might create tension, but we're far from that! Can we at least go on a proper date before you worry about us separating?"

Hyung chuckled. "You're lovestruck, look at you. I just dream about going on a stage with people here for us and the stadium being full.. That's what keeps me going."

I understood that. I wished for that to, now.. with Joo Minho in the audience. "We'll make it. I promise."
