Kingdom Come

Chapter Fifteen

(Not Edited)

Rosé held still, awkwardly fitting her arms around the man crushing her. She was in shock, of course. She wasn't really close with Jaehyun, so his reaction to seeing her seemed a bit dramatic, "you're ok!" he said, relieved. Rosé patted his back, looking towards Seulgi and Jimin for help.

"Um, yeah," she responded, pulling back a bit. She noticed an unfamiliar energy in him, though. One that wasn't there the last time they saw eachother. She wondered briefly of what had happened when she caught sight of his eyes. They were a bright hazel with gray undertones, "Jaehyun, your eyes...!"

Jaehyun furrowed his eyebrows as he stared at her face, "my eyes?" he forgot that they changed colors somehow, giving him superhuman strength along with it. He swore that the dust he inhaled was anything but good, but he thought wrong.

"Woah, when did this happen?" Lisa popped up next to them a second later, looking towards her friends with a smirk, "I never knew you two were a thing." The pair looked at Lisa and then towards eachother, only registering then the intimate proximity between them.

Rosé was the first to push away, immedietly distracting herself with the floor whilst tucking locks of hair behind her ear. Jaehyun shook his head; though flustered he set his attention towards Lisa, hugging her as well, "You lost weight," he held her by her shoulders, frowning.

"I'm fine, Jae. Joy has been trying to fatten me back up since yesterday," she laughed and as if on cue, the nurse popped her head into the room.

"You make me sound like the witch from Hansel and Gretel." Joy entered with a tray of sandwiches, sitting them down on her coffee table, "everyone, sit. I'm sure you're all tired."

Seulgi shook her hands in front of her, "no, it's ok, we just came for Lisa and Rosé-"

"You're really gonna let all this food go to waste?" Joy placed her hands at her hips, giving everyone her best 'intimidating mom' stare.

Lisa shrugged, sitting down while grabbing a sandwich, "guys, we're in no rush. Come on."

Reluctantly, they followed. Lisa had become undeniably comfortable in Joy's home, as if they've known eachother for a very long time. They all sat, looking at eachother to see who would grab a sandwich first because it sure wasn't going to be them. Lisa rolled her eyes, diving in for a second one, "so, detective," Joy started, "what are you doing here?"

"Lisa is a really good friend of mine," he answered, finally finding it in himself to try one of the sandwiches on the table.

Joy raised an eyebrow, but smirked, "does Ten get jealous?" she had been teasing Lisa since the day before, but so far only two people knew of the situation. Lisa nearly choked on her sandwich while everyone gave Joy a perplexed look (with the exception of Rosé, who coughed into her hand).

"What do you mean, 'does Ten get jealous'?" Seulgi became suddenly interested, leaning foreward.

"They're dating, right?"

"What the fu-"

"Yes, they are dating, how could you forget, Seulgi?" Rosé said through clenched teeth.

Despite what others think, Seulgi was somewhat afraid of Rosé. She was still the daughter of Zeus and Hera, "r-right, must have slipped my mind. Hahaha, whoops." The others, starting to catch on, laughed along.

"Since when? Does Yeri know- ow, that hurt!" Jimin, who was being dense for some reason, was elbowed in the stomach by Seulgi.

"You didn't know? You really need to spend more time with us."
