Mathematical attraction

Chapter 80

Minho's P.O.V.
I dressed into my new SHINee shirt, shorts and tied my hair. It was hard to get ready with a wounded foot, but at least I had help. "Do you want lipstick noona? Foundation? Mascara?" Taehyung said while looking through my stuff.

I gave it some thought. "Hmm.. I don't think I'll need foundation, so just lipstick and mascara please."

He didn't give them. "Can I do it for you? Pretty please?"

I sighed in a chuckle and accepted. "As long as I don't look like the Joker Tae."

He made a silly face. "Why so serious?" He laughed. "I'll be careful noona! No worries."

So I trusted him to do my makeup. I was surprised he wasn't doing a bad job. The other surprised one was the one entering the room. "Wow he's not messing up your face? That's new."

I smiled, but Tae frowned. "Don't move noona!"

"Oups, sorry." I looked up at Joonie. "You were hoping to laugh at my face?"

He shrugged with a mean smile. "Maybe? Did you know if Eunho noona was coming to see SHINee?"

I nodded. "She is. I don't know if we'll see eachother though." There would be a lot of people.

He sat next to me. "We could text her. Like that you could meet and grab a bite before the show. Would give you time to slowly get there, what do you think?"

"That's why they say you're smart." I joked.

He laughed. "I'll check with her."

My phone made the notification sound. I checked it.
From: Joonie
Like that we won't get caught either😅

I smiled at my phone. I swear.

Tae finished brushing my hair. "All pretty! Here." He gave me back my brush. "So you'll leave for Daegu tomorrow noona?"

I shook my head. "Yeah, why?"

He dropped himself on the couch. "Lucky.. I miss home. I miss my parents a lot."

I could understand him. I missed Ara and Wonhae a lot sometimes, so much I'd sleep at my grandpa's instead to get closer to home. "I miss my them too sometimes. Doesn't mean you can't make sure they are fine too. They're probably feeling the same way right now."

His boxy smile appeared as he jumped to sit on his knees. "Really? What could I do?"

My idea was probably far fetched. "You could send them stuff. If it reminds you of them or you think they'd like it."

His eyes were round. "Woah.. I didn't think about that! It's a good idea."

Namjoon's P.O.V.
She was slower than me, but even more now. I did a step every 3 seconds, but I was happy to carry her bag to help her out. "You're spacing out or what? Are you too tired to walk in these? We can take a bus."

She sighed resting against the wall. "Couldn't say it before? My arms hurt so bad."

I glanced down. "Sorry, I'm not used to check behind me when I walk."

She smiled. "It's okay, I don't mind too much."

We sat down a couple of meters away waiting for the bus. She took a picture out. I took a look at it. "It's your parents?"

She nodded. "It is.. They look so kind. The more I look at this, the more I wish they were still alive."

She hadn't mentioned them since her birthday, but it surely hadn't meant that she didn't think about them all week. "They seem very caring.."

She smiled at the picture. "They do. I think she's the police lady Ara talked about."

It was plausible. "You think so?"

She took more pictures out. "I'm sure so. Look. They wrote stuff behind the pictures."

I read. "Busy with investigation.. They were both investigators?"

She stuffed them in her bag. "Seems like it. I can't wait for Ara to tell me about them."

I couldn't wait for Minmin to tell me all about them too. She seemed more at ease knowing who her parents were. I was glad.

Once we arrived at the meeting place, we waited outside for Eunho noona. "Does your foot hurt?"

She tried putting it down, she lifted it up fast. "Not if it doesn't touch the ground."

"How will you stay up for hours on your foot?" I asked worriedly.

She reassured me immediately. "Minho oppa figured something out. My tickect is GA. I'll probably get to be in front."

I gave her a kiss without asking, for once. "Just checking."

"Kim Namjoon! Joo Minho!" Eunho ran to us. "What was that? A kiss? You need to explain yourselves!"

Minmin hid her face. "Eonni! Don't say it like that!"

She laughed. "What? I said nothing wrong. I'm hungry, let's go eat."

I took my own pictures as we ate.

"Excited for the show?" I asked.

Eunho jumped on her seat. "I.CAN'T.WAIT. Oh my gosh! This is great! I'll see them face to face!"

Minho hadn't told her she actually knew one of them because she didn't want her to be all over her or worse.. Jealous. "It is, I'm happy we can see them together."

She grinned. "I know right? Sadly you'll have to leave your boyfriend at the door."

It was still weird for me to hear it. "Don't mind me. You noonas have fun."

Eunho grinned. "Right! She is your noona too! Minho, how does it feel to date a younger man?"

She frowned. "Gross! You make me sound like a pedophile or something eonni!"

I faked a pout. "I'm an innocent young man. You should treat me gently."

She yelled slightly annoyed in a good way. "Namjoon! Don't get started too!"
