Beauty of love (DISCONTINUED)

It's after a little while of talking with Rosé, the occasional munching on food here and there that I finally see Lisa, Jennie and Jisoo walking over with their own meals in hands, the smile I send them answered with a worried one, their eyes taking me in.

"Rosé told us you were kept in class by the horrific math teacher, are you okay?" Jisoo asks with a hand on my shoulder, a comforting squeeze as she sits down next to me, the two other girls sitting in front of us and appraising my reaction.

I shrug a little and focus on the half eaten sandwich in front of me before taking a sip of my drink. "Complained yet again about how stupid I am, you know, just the usual, but it's fine, one of the new students stepped in and got me out of there so easily, I really owe him".

Lisa props her elbows on the table, her eyes flashing a relieved blue at my words before turning into a curious yellow at the mention of the new guys who are getting quite the attention already.

"Which one? We got a whole new coven today, I'm guessing it's one of them?" she asks, her orbs wandering to their table, already convinced that it has to be one of them and I mean, she's not wrong.

I try to point to him without being too obvious. He might be far, but his senses seem incredible and I don't wanna risk it, enough has happened already.

"You see the one with the blond hair? That's him" I say softly and they all hum in unison, eyes intently staring at them although Lisa and Rosé are the only ones right now with a clear view since their eyesight is better than humans.

We turn back to our table to continue eating, but this time, I feel something burning the back of my head.

As if someone's watching me.

Jennie looks behind me and covers her mouth with a hand, eyes sparkling with interest. "Oh. Don't look, but they're all staring at you. The sexy guys at the table, all of them" she whispers and my eyes widen in shock, body tensing at the revelation.

"You're not serious. You're serious?" I whisper back, now realizing that they might have heard us all along.

Maybe the guy who helped simply told them about what happened? That would make sense, no? If they're a coven, like Rosé said earlier.

They might be quite a distance away, but as long as we're in the same room, they could hear my heartbeat like I'm right next to them. That sometimes freaks me out, to be honest, but Rosé and Lisa once said that they quickly learn to tune it out, so they don't really pay much attention to that after a few years.

The girls grin at my reaction, but they don't need to say anything, the hole that steadily digs in the back of my head is sign enough that I wasn't lied to. Shit.

"They probably heard us, it's not that big of a deal, I'd stare too if I heard someone talk about me" Lisa tries, an attempt to ease my current muffled panic but Rosé shakes her head with a denying hum and a dismissive wave of the hand, far from convinced.

"The whole school is talking about them, yet they don't give a shit, so what's different here?" she says, her eyes falling on me like there's a flashing sign above my head pointing at me.

I purse my lips and look away from her and to my juice, the simple sight of it a lot better than whatever I can see flashing across the girls' face at the moment. It's bad for my heart.

"Well then... maybe it has to do with the fact that he helped you? Anyway, they're already looking away, it's fine" Jisoo states before shoving food into her mouth with a loud hum. "This food is so good by the way, it's too bad they don't make it more often".
