Nurse

Mr. Min stood in front of the stove cooking away, clad in his cooking apron as Lonna sat and watched him thoughtfully.

Without noticing him, Suga came and sat beside her. “Looking for me?” He said finally catching Lonna’s attention.

“Uncle, Yoongi is home.” She announced louder making Mr. Min swing around at her words over excited.

“Yoongi! You’re home?!” The food on the stove was forgotten as he ran toward him.

Unfortunately, on his way, he tripped over his slipper making him tumble. Lonna and Suga moved just in time to avoid him falling on them, as he landed on the arm chair awkwardly.

“You’re dangerous.” Suga scolded. Mr. Min picked himself slowly up.

“Why…can’t I share my fatherly love with you?!” He asked hurt by Suga’s words.

“You almost killed me!” Suga answered. Mr. Min ignored his son’s scolding as he quickly turned to Lonna standing behind him.

“It’s ok. Did you hear what the chef on TV said?”

“What is that?” Lonna said not really recalling the program.

“A cook’s thoughts can be transferred to needy people…” He raised the spatula he had in his hand. “and allow them to feel happy again.”

He quickly moved, wielding the spatula like a sword in his excitement as he turned toward Suga, who thankfully dodged it quick enough. Lonna squealed in fear.

“Bullshit!” Suga screamed as he jumped back up.

“No! Sounds reasonable!” Lonna said pulling Mr. Min back toward her.

“Exactly! I want to transfer my happiness onto the two of you.” Mr. Min said as he smiled brightly to the two.

Suga’s eyes tensed in annoyance but Lonna smiled at his kind words. In a sudden change, Mr. Min looked down at himself before turning to Lonna again. “But NaNa…do you think it is unmanly…that I love to cook?” He said swinging his arms from side to side in a feminine manner.

“Finally, you realize it.” Suga said looking his father up and down. “That apron makes you look like a woman.”

“Really?” Mr. Min lifted his kitty cat apron and gave it a look.

“Yes!” Suga answered in frustration and embarrassment. Mr. Min acted like Suga’s words were about to make him cry as he turned to Lonna.

Lonna couldn’t take his sad face. “Of course not. Really manly.” Her words made Mr. Min smile once more.

“Really, it’s manly?”

Lonna shook her head in confirmation as she plastered on a fake smile.

Mr. Min pulled the metal spatula in front of him to see his reflection as he started to make manly faces and growling. Lonna tried to keep from laughing as she clapped at his display. Suga was too embarrassed and disgusted by what he was witnessing.

Mr. Min had out did himself with the food. ‘Midnight snack to the nth degree…way too extreme.’ Lonna looked at the food that filled the large table, shocked beyond belief at the amount of food in front of her.

“Old man, are you a pig?” Suga voiced Lonna’s thoughts out loud. Mr. Min threw himself between them as he put an arm across each of their shoulders.

“Since I don’t know NaNa’s taste, I wanted to be prepared.”

“So wasteful. Do you know how many people are starving in the world?” Suga said in shame of his father’s ignorance. Mr. Min dropped his head in defeat.

Just as quickly as he dropped it, he lifted it up again. “The three of us can play games together!” He suggested excitedly as he looked at Suga.

“You’re too much. Don’t you see my hand is hurt?” Suga said as he pointed to that horribly wrapped bandage on his hand. Lonna’s face fell in recognition.

“You’re hurt? How did you hurt it?” His father asked sounding overly concerned.

“I fought an alien (Sorry makes me think of Tae). They cut my hand open, and put a microchip in.” Suga teased. “I could explode at any time.”

Even though it was a joke, his father still acted shocked by his story, to make Suga think he had believed him.

“My son. Hansome, cool, and has a good sense of humor.” He said looking at Lonna. Suga rolled his eyes. “Laugh a little.” He ordered Lonna to join him in encouragement towards Suga’s joke.

Lonna faked a tiny giggle. Before staring at Suga’s hand once more.

Suga’s POV

Suga laid against his headboard smiling to himself as he rubbed his fingers against the scarf in his hands. Lost in the thoughts of Lonna and the way she watched him at the concert.

Suddenly a knock sounded at his door and he moved to quickly hide the scarf under his pillow. He stood up and walked to open the door where he was met with Lonna waiting on the other side, holding a sad expression on her face. “Is your hand ok?” Suga was thrown off by her sudden concern.

He looked down at his bandage wrapped hand. “I bought a bandage and wrapped it.”

“Do you have any medicine? I’ll dress it for you.” Suga was confused by her kindness.

“Sure.” He stuttered out as he moved to let Lonna in his room.

Lonna’s POV

Lonna took the first aid kit he found for her and opened to see what all was inside.

She gently held Suga’s wounded hand in hers as she used a q-tip to apply the medicine. Suga watched her focused face as she worked.

Even though he hadn’t said it stung, Lonna brought his hand to her mouth and gently blew on it. The feel of her breath on his skin made him shiver. “Does it hurt?” Lonna’s question came out sounding more like a whisper as she continued to focus on what she was doing.

Suga looked at her through hooded eyes. “A lot.”

Lonna, feeling his eyes staring at her finally looked away from the work that before held her attention. She suddenly felt nervous under Suga’s stare. She looked away from him trying to catch her breath.

‘Why is he looking at me like that? His unguarded expression really confuses me.’ Lonna thought as she pulled her bottom lip between her teeth.

“Does it still hurt?” Lonna said hoping to lighten the mood.

Suga’s expression didn’t change as he leaned in close to Lonna. His forehead was against hers.

“Hurts.” His voice was low and gruff, and it set Lonna’s heart in a nervous rhythm. She quickly tried to create some space between them as she slightly moved away.

“Are you cold?” Suga asked when her saw that she was shivering.

“I’m fine.” Lonna said her voice coming out just as shaky as her body.

Suga got an idea as he reached behind him and grabbed the bed cover. He quickly moved it over his and Lonna’s heads as he moved closer to her again. “I really wasn’t cold.” Lonna said after getting over her surprise.

Suga smiled at her reactions, loving every one of them. He decided to tease her further, as he nuzzled his nose into the side of her neck before laying his head on her shoulder.

Lonna couldn’t move as she was frozen in place.

“With you nursing me…it’s less and less painful.” His voice was low and sweet as he pulled the blankets tighter around them. It didn’t take long for his face to go slack with sleep.

Lonna laid the sleeping Suga down in his bed and covered him up. She sighed as she turned to leave, but didn’t get very far as Suga’s hand had a death grip on her pants leg, halting her quiet exit.

She tried once more to get him to let go, but it became obvious, he wasn’t letting her go, even in his sleep.
