Mathematical attraction

Chapter 65

Minho's P.O.V.
I finally was soon to finish the book Joonie gave me. It was an amazing book. I could read it multiple time and still find new elements. On the last page, I realized something was stuck on it. I read and turned it. I know it may seem weird, but it just felt right to me. I hope you won't feel awkward about this, but come to me when you finish that book so I can be the one to put this necklace on you. If I may explain why I chose this shape of pendant, it's because when we hang out later at night, the first thing you do is gaze up at the stars and say how fascinating it is to be so small in this world. All of that was written on 5 sticky notes and on top was scotched a necklace with a tiny star for a pendant. I was surprised alone in my dorm. "Namjoon you weirdo I swear.." I took my book and my coat with me.

"It's 9pm, what are you doing here?" He asked yawning.

I handed him my book. "I finished it."

He seemed surprised. "Did you like it?" He scratched his nape. "All of it?"

I smiled lightly gazing down as I nodded. "All of it.. Mind putting the necklace on me? I didn't dare taking it off the book."

"S-sure.. Give me a second." He delicately took it off and gazed at me. "Turn around.."
I did and he put it on me. "You're okay with me giving you this? I wasn't sure if-"

I turned around, stepped on my tiptoes and kissed his cheek. "What do you think?"

He touched his cheek. "Sometimes you're so straight forward I don't know if you're kidding or not."

I laughed. "You'll be able to with time. Meanwhile.. Can I stay over tonight? The land lady will kill me if she sees me come back in so late."

He smiled. "Sure, would you care for a hot chocolate? Unless you wanted to go to bed now."

I nodded. "I'd like one if you don't mind."

Namjoon's P.O.V.
We ended up sleeping in the same room because she argued it was my room and dorm so she should sleep on the couch and I argued the couch wouldn't be comfy enough for her so I should sleep there. I didn't want het being uncomfortable with me in the room. She settled in Yoongi hyung's old bed. "Goodnight Joonie."

I had to. "You're sure it's fine?"

She nodded. "Yeah, I know nothing will happen if you're here. You always have my back."

She trusted me that much? "Alright, if at any moment you don't feel okay, tell me and I'll sleep on the couch. Also, little heads up.. I don't move in my sleep."

She smiled. "Alright. Thanks a lot." She hid under the covers. "Goodnight for real this time."

I closed the lights. "Goodnight."

Minho's P.O.V.
I had one of these again. I had the feeling I'd get it.. That's why I didn't want him to far. Even if I knew that event, it still sent chills down my spine and give me cold sweat. I woke up in a jump. I was freaking out to be honest. Even if the event was a memory, it could go further making it the worst nightmare of my life. I got up and shook Moonie's shoulder as he hadn't moved an inch. I clenched my necklace. "Namjoon.. Namjoon wake up. Please wake up."

Compared to me, he had a light sleep. He rose on his forearm. "Minho, what's wrong? Want me to go on the couch? Let me get a blanket and-"

I stopped him from getting up. "No.. Actually I.."

He moved to half of his bed. "Sit down and tell me."

I did sit. "I.. I had a nightmare.."

He frowned pretty worried. "You rarely get nightmares. It must've been a very bad one then?"

I nodded. "But.. I can't tell you about it.. Okay? I just can't.."

He sat up properly and wrapped his arm around my shoulder. "It's okay. I don't need to know. I only want you to stop shaking."

I tried to laugh. "It might take a while.."

He thought for a second. "You slept next to Yoongi hyung if you had nightmares back home right?"

I saw where he was going. "Y-you don't have to do this.. You're not him. You don't have to."

He looked me straight in the eyes. "Look at me. If it can make you go back to sleep soundly, I'll do it. If you needed me to sing a lullaby, even if I'd sound horrible, I'd do it."

Now I managed to chuckle. "I don't need a lullaby, but thanks." He was still looking at me. "Fine.. It's true sleeping next to Yoongi used to work. You're really fine with this?"

"Are you?" He asked. "If yes, I'm alright with it." He layed down. "I told you, I don't move in my sleep. You don't need to worry about hands on you.'

It did make me feel better. I slipped under the covers. "Mind.. Falling asleep before me?"

He smiled. "I don't mind at all. If you still can't sleep, wake me up. I'll stay up with you." No questions. He could just read my emotions or feelings so well. He knew I'd talk eventually, but he'd wait for me to bring it up. That night was one of the rare times I slept so well after a nightmare in my whole life.
