Mathematical attraction

Chapter 62

Yoongi's P.O.V.
I was getting ready for a hard scolding getting out of the room. She was serving the boys who were here which with me made only three boys some soup. "Is there enough for me?"

She left everything go and ran into my arms. "Yoongi! You're okay!" She held my face. "You have colours in your cheeks! I was so worried!" She hugged me, hands around my back. "If you still had fever today I would've asked Jin to take you to the hospital. Yoongi.." She nuzzled her face in my neck. "How dare you not talk to me huh?"

I caressed her hair. "Minho?"

She nodded looking me in the eye. "Yeah?"

I stroke her cheek. "You did an amazing job out there."

She started to cry. "That's the nicest thing you could say to me right now..."

I pulled her back to me and laughed. "Ya! Why are you crying huh? You finished 7th on a hundred. You're the second best Korean in that competition. Be proud. I saw all of the interviews and articles."

"Are you trying to make me cry harder?!" She yelled hugging me tight.

I held her tight and said nothing. Why was she so happy about this? I preferred for her to be happy than sad like she seemed to be earlier. "Ara can't wait to see you. You should've seen your family in front of the TV yesterday and the other times. Your mother cried so hard. She kept yelling that's my baby! That's my girl right there! During all your races."

She smiled pulling back. "I can't wait to see her too. I made you a bowl of soup already, I think we talked long enough for you to be able to eat it."

I kissed her forehead. "Thanks for coming here last night, but next time take your medicine before you board the plane okay?"

She chuckled. "Right.. I'll think about it next time."

Minho's P.O.V.
I couldn't wait to cross the door of my grandfather's place. I pushed the door open and the little bell rang. I saw my mom peer over the counter. "Oh my goodness! My baby's here! Won-ah come downstairs! Dad get out of the kitchen!" She ran to me and held my face between her hands. "You look amazing! So pretty... Healthy.. Oh my goodness I'm so proud of you baby!" She hugged me. "And you still smell like chlorine!" She kissed my cheek. "I love you so much baby.."

I trully felt home. "I love you too mom.. I missed all of you so much."

She pulled back. "Your grandpa made your favorite cookies. Want some?"

My eyes lit up. "Gramps made almond cookies? I call dibs on the first batch!" I ran towards the backstore and saw the cookies. "Woah.. They smell so good!"

"Can we get a hug before you eat these up?" A voice behind me said.

I turned around and hugged him. "Wonhae!"

He peered down at me. "You defeat any doctors' predictions you know that? You really are a miracle."

I pushed his shoulder lightly. "Oh stop.."

My mom pat my hair. "You really are.. I'm so proud of you.."

"Why are you crying on your daughter's hair? That's not a nice thing to do." My grandpa pointed out.

I looked up. "Why are there tears mom?"

She smiled. "I'm just so happy for you.. My baby ending up in semi-finals on her first big competition."

Yoongi laughed. "That's why we're here to celebrate."

"And you're okay now dear?" She asked putting her wrist against his forehead.

He took it off. "I'm fine Ara. Minnie and my friends took good care of me. Let's not talk about me thought. Someone didn't celebrate Christmas yet." With his statement, everything became so hyped up. My Daegu family.. I missed them so, so much. He nudged my shoulder. "Snap out of dreamland and go upstairs you lunatic."

Yoongi's P.O.V.
I missed times like this. Our family wasn't related, hers either, but it just felt like one. "Open up! That's for you. Come on!" Ara pushed my best friend to open her gift. She was so excited to see her expression.

She opened it. "Concert tickets?! For BigBang?! How much did these cost mom? It's their first world tour.. And one the first day!"

Ara smiled. "Don't worry about it. You can bring a friend with you to see it on March 2nd. There's more thought."

She looked in. "SHINee tickets?! Woah! I never went to a concert in my life, but I'll see two now! This is amazing! I can't wait!"

Ara nodded. "I know they aren't your favorite but-"

"You're kidding right? They're good singers. I know their songs by heart because of Eunho eonni." She hugged her mom. "Thank you so much!"

Ara scratched her head. "The other one is more symbolic than anything.. We made it last minute I-"

She reassured her. "I'm not here for gifts mom. I'll be happy for sure." She opened it up to see the articles and pictures of her interviews.

The last twelve who were heading towards the semi-finals.

Her departure from Japanese ground.. If any official pictures of her were taken, her mom had put them there. Minho couldn't erase her smile. "I don't know what to say.."

Ara pointed me. "Thank him. He looked everything up."

She hugged me. "Thank you so much Yoonie."

I pat her head. "It's nothing really.." After some time, the adults started talking together which left Minho and me alone in front of the TV to talk. "Hey, Minnie?"

"Hmm?" She glanced up.

I held her closer. "I hate to admit.. But I'm jealous of everyone that gets to see you more than me."

She chuckled. "Is that so? Maybe.. Maybe you should show me your work sometime? Lyrics.. Piano. I heard you had a piano in the studio."

I smiled. "You miss playing it with me do you?"

She sighed lightly. "I do. Just hearing a piano isn't the same as hearing you play it. Makes me think about when you started teaching me."

I kissed the top of her head. "You might even be better than me now." You always were better Minnie, but goodness did I miss seeing her play by my side.
