Mathematical attraction

Chapter 9

Minho's P.O.V.
Yoongi yelled at me that night after I felt sick. He said that I should take better care of myself and all the silly things he said when he's worried.

That afternoon stuck at the dorm didn't stop me from keeping myself busy. I texted Namjoon to see what we would need for Saturday. He said Yoongi had something in Gangnam in the morning so it gave us time to prepare. I called Jackson too. Don't ask me how I got his number without Yoongi knowing. I'm a sneaky little lady. We wouldn't be a lot of people, but it would be our little gang.

"I thought Yoongi hated to party." Eunho said flipping through a magazine.

"Just because he isn't the life of the party doesn't mean he hates them." I explained while working on my drama text for next week.

"You really know him well do you?" She said closing her magazine.

"Well growing up with him since I'm two helps." I chuckled.

"Wow! You two have been tolerating eachother for so long I'm surprised you two haven't gotten at eachother's throats." She laughed.

"Oh please! He's not that bad. You just don't know him enough yet. Just don't mention anything about this conversation when comes by later." I warned her.

"Safe with me." She promised. "By the way. While we're talking about Yoongi.. Did you hear the rumours?"

"Rumours? Eunho.. You're better than that." I sighed.

"Don't talk to me like that young lady.. I just heard things I want to confirm." She explained.

"Go on." I sighed putting my scenario down and crossed my legs while taking a sip of water.

"A little bird told me Yoongi, the captain of the basketball team, has been dating someone." She said.

I struggled not to choke on water."What? No! Who? What?!"

She jumped to her feet."Calm down! Your reaction tells me all I nees to know."

"Who the hell would he be dating? If he was." I asked putting my glasses on and got up to get myself a snack.

"Little bird said it was the girl that went to all their practices and matches." She explained.

"Every practice? There is no girl there except- oh. Eunho I'm not dating Yoonie." I closed the fridge walking back to the couch.

Me dating Yoongi? Hell he's more like an annoying, yet lovable older brother.

"What could make people think that?" I sat back down.

"He always passes you his basketball jacket because he doesn't want you to get cold." She started.

I nodded.

"He gives you snacks." She added.

"Yes." I said.

"You guys are always the last to leave the gym with big smiles." She finished.

"That's because it's the only time he let's me play!" I argued.

"But you get why they could think that." Eunho said stealing a piece of cookie from me.

I hated to admit."Yeah.. But what can I say? We've always been like this."

A knock on the door.

"The door is unlocked." I yelled.

Speaking of the devil. Yoongi peered through the door."Hey there midget." He smiled.

"Hey Yoonie." I smiled getting up."Thanks again for doing this.. I tried doing it, but I'm still disgusted by it."

He pat my shoulder."No worries shorty. I've been doing it since you're twelve. It's no big deal for me now."

Medication. That's what I was thanking him for. I hated needles. The little one from the glucometer I could deal with, but not syringes.

"Hey Eunho, if you wanna get something in your room you should get it now. It'll probably take a while." Yoongi warned her.

She smiled."I don't need anything. Go on."

Eunho was very considerate about it. She even offered to do it if Yoongi wasn't there.

"I'll try to keep it short." I promised.

Yoongi's P.O.V.
I took the syringe out and her medicine."10ml.. 5..7..9..10. There you go." I rubbed alcohol on the crease of her elbow. "You're good? I can go on?" I asked her. I wanted to make sure. Sometimes she'd get a look at the needle and tense, but she was calm.

I looked up seeing her eyes facing the wall."Yeah. Do it."

The needle pierced her skin. I held her hand with my free one. She squeezed it tight.

"Almost over Minie. Keep it up. Take a deep breath and... Done." I took the needle out and placed a bandaid."All done until Monday." I threw the syringe in her special trash for them.

She whispered."Why can I not ease into it Yoongi? I'm getting this since I've been born. Why can't I do it by myself?"

I hugged her."It's okay Minie. You're just scared of needles."

"But I shouldn't be because I've been around them all my life." She mumbled as her voice caught.

She hated this. Not just the needles. Being like that. Always be on guard. The reason why I let her play basketball with me is because it's the only time she gets to enjoy some sport safely and her smile gets so big when we play it makes me the happiest on earth.
So.. Moments like this hurt me.

I caressed her hair."I've been with you most of your life and you still can't deal with me either." I stated making her laugh.

"That's a mean thing to say about yourself.." She pulled back.

I nodded and smiled."I can take one for the team. Get some sleep and we'll see eachother tomorrow okay?"

She nodded."Okay." She layed down and closed her eyes. "Goodnight."

"Goodnight Minie.." I looked back at her before closing the door. She looked like snow white when she was asleep. Soft features.. Long lashes.. Okay. I was getting carried away. I walked back to their living room.

"Asleep already?" Eunho asked.

"Yup. Already in dreamland." I sighed.

"You're a good friend to her Yoongi." She admitted.

I smiled."I try to be. I'll get her tomorrow for lunch."

I closed their front door while putting my coat on and went back to my dorm room.
