Beauty of love (DISCONTINUED)

- 8 -

"What are you going to eat?" Taehyung asks me as he stays close, eyes gazing at me with a soft warmth from time to time, which I realize Jimin does too, both acting like bodyguards.

Which is absolutely unnecessary because the bleeding has long since stopped.

"I think I'll just grab a burger and something to drink" I say, to which he hums before ordering for Jimin and himself, then leaving a blank so I can say say my order. What I don't expect though is for him to also pay for me.

"Taehyung, really, if it's because of earlier, you don't have to, I'm capable of paying for my own food" I say but he just shakes his head, leaving Jimin to reply for him when he heads down the counter to wait for the food.

"Taehyung likes to treat people he likes. Consider this... a sign of wanting to be friends with you?". I eye him carefully while following behind the impatient man. "What about you? What do I need to see happen to know if we're friends?". He laughs at my question.

"Consider me laughing at you the earliest of signs. Following you this morning should be the second sign... so I think we've been friends for... a few hours now" he says while looking at the time on his phone with a smirk. I scoff. "So laughing at people means you want to be friends with them? You're quite weird, Jimin".

We reach Taehyung who's laughing and grinning from my comment and he takes the first tray of food, letting Jimin grab the second one. I look at the counter to see that there's nothing left. So I look at the drinks and grab two of them. I won't let myself stay useless. Jimin huffs a laugh and smiles as we head to the table Lisa and Jisoo found while Rosé and Jennie are getting their food at an other stall.

I sit between the girls, not aware of the pout on Taehyung's face and Jimin's nudge against his waist with a small smile, but it doesn't miss Rosé's eyes as she comes back to the table. I set the drinks in front of the guys when I realize it's blood and grab the drink that the tallest man slides in front of me along with my burger.

I see Rosé sit between Jimin and Jisoo while Jennie sits between Taehyung and Lisa. We all get our own food and start eating, not speaking much because of hunger.

Our meals don't last long and soon the table is devoid of any trace of something closely reminding us of food. One would think the table was licked clean.

Obviously, Rosé might be close to a dog but she won't go that far. I don't think so anyway.

Don't tell her I said that.

"So" Rosé starts, a yellow tint to her eyes. Well all turn to her, but her eyes are on Taehyung and Jimin. "Are you guys soulmates?". The two men share a glance and stare at all of us. "I thought it was easy to see" Jimin mumbles but Jisoo shakes her head. "We can have a small idea, but look at us for example, we might be close, but we're not soulmates".

Jennie and I nod, agreeing with her words. We're humans, so we feel things a little different than they do relating to soulmates.

"That makes sense. Well, we are indeed mates. We actually have five more" Taehyung says and our eyes widen. "So you guys are a group of seven mates?!" Lisa exclaims, absolutely shocked, if the orange in her eyes are any indication while Rosé just stares at them, the yellow a pleased tone. I frown at her, just where is she trying to go with this?

"I see. It must be hard to give enough attention to six mates" she says and Jimin starts frowning too, not really knowing where she's going with that. Taehyung, oblivious, just shakes his head with a grin. "Not with your mates! There's something that just makes it impossible to not give them love, the same way they give just as much to you, you'll understand when you'll meet your soulmates" he says, hoping to encourage us to wait for the fateful ones because it's so worth it.
