Mathematical attraction

Chapter 60

Namjoon's P.O.V.
A knock was heard on our dorm's door. "What the heck? It's 11pm. Who can be here at this hour?" Jin hyung whispered getting out of our room.

I got up from the couch. "I'll take care of it hyung." I opened the door to see a short girl dressed in a pink beanie and a black coat. "Minmin? What are you doing here? You should be at your grandpa's.." I let her in. "You're frozen. I'll make you tea to warm you up-"

She grabbed on my hoodie. "I'm fine.." She showed me a bag. "I got everything to make ginseng soup.."

I helped her take off her coat. "You can do that tomorrow.. Just sleep okay? You're tired from your flight."

"Can I see Yoonie? I just want to check on him.." She insisted.

Jin motioned for her to come over. "They're all asleep so stay silent okay?"

She stayed in the room and came back. "Please let me cook.. I touched his forehead and it's burning hot." She looked me in the eyes. "Please give me back my bag Joonie."

I didn't want to make her angry. I gave it to her. "He won't be up until 10am probably."

She started cutting the ingredients. "Then we'll warm it up. I'm not going to bed without this.. Without this done. Just.. Take out a bowl will you?"

She was scary with a knife, but that didn't stop me from noticing. "Your hand is shaking. Let me cut okay? You brought the recipe, we can finish it ourselves."

She moved back. "Fine.. Do it.."

Jin hyung grabbed her by the shoulders. "Don't get upset. He's okay-" He bent down to get a clear look at her face. "You're sweating hard on your forehead.. Why are you trembling?" He shook her a little. "Can you even hear me? Minho. I'm not gonna ask again, can you hear me?"

She gulped and nodded. "Yeah.. It's just.."

An alarm rang. I picked her phone up. "How many times did you snooze that thing?"

She denied. "It's fine.. I can take it now.."

Jin hyung got her to the couch. "You could've left tomorrow. Look what you're doing, you can't take care of Yoongi like this you know?"

Laying down, it was getting harder for her to talk. I crouched next to the couch. "I know it's hard, but tell me where your medication is in your back." She looked away. "Minho, it's not time to play games."

She took a deep breath. "..Small pocket.. Hidden under my jacket.."

Jin hyung looked at me. "You don't know how to do this Namjoon. It's dangerous to try. I'll just call-"

I found the medicine and syringes. "She doesn't need to end up in an ambulance. Besides, I saw the school nurse to it many times." I glanced at her. "Can you guide me? You're strong I know you can do it."

She smiled lightly. "I'll try.. So.. Lift my sleeve up.." She took a deep breath again. "..Clean with the alcohol pad.." She moved her arm a little. ".. That's cold.."

I could see how hard she was trying to stay awake. I caressed her hair. "You're doing good. What do I do next?"

She looked at the syringe. I picked it up."..In bottle with.. Blue.."

I put the syringe in the bottle with the blue etiquette. "10ml right?"

She nodded grinning. "..You're good.."

I held back my laugh. "I just remember important things. Now I need to find a blood vessel huh?" Her hands trembled even more. I knew how much she was scared of needles. "Just close your eyes and turn your head away. Jin hyung will hold your other hand." I looked at him. "Right hyung?"

He nodded holding her hand. He looked down at her. "How did you do this alone if you're so frightened?"

She sighed. "I.. I tried.." She gulped. "But.. I could never.. Do it completely.."

Jin hyung pat her head. "We're not blaming you."

I found a strong vessel. I held her arm still. "Take a deep breath and.. 3,2,1.. It's over." I took it out and applied a bandaid. "Next time get the paramedics at your competition if they can do it or try to fight your fear with Yoongi."

She blinked once or twice. "Sorry.."

"Not blaming you. Jin hyung said it earlier. Sleep now, he'll fix the soup for Yoongi hyung.." I kissed her forehead. "I'll get you a blanket." I pecked at her face when she didn't answer. I chuckled. "Fast sleeper."

I walked over to Jin hyung finishing her recipe. He glanced over his shoulder. "You could've waken Yoongi up or let me do it you know. You're scared of needles yourself. How did you do it?"

I shrugged glancing over at the couch. "I'm less scared than her and she trusts me. When we go to the nurse for it, it takes almost 20 mimutes. With hyung, it's a matter of seconds. Anyway, since I know how, if she doesn't want to go to the nurse, I can take a couple of minutes to do it for her."

"You'd do anything for her would you?" He whispered.

I gave him a sure nod. "Trully anything."
