Superhuman

Chapter 7

Everyone was staring at me. I can't believe I forgot where I was. I'm so used to practicing my telekinetic abilities, especially at meal times. I'm so dumb they're going to kick me out for sure now.

I drop my head and stare at my hands in my lap. "I-"

The sound of laughter disrupted me from giving an explanation.

"Wow, I really was not expecting to see them live. Jaehyun, you didn't tell me he had telekinesis, as well! That's the coolest thing ever!"

Everyone, including myself, stared at Taeyong. He was okay with this? Well, that makes sense. He confronted me earlier about how I have powers.

"I'm pretty sure I did tell you. I made sure to include everything he told me." Jaehyun rolls his eyes, then turns to me with a sympathetic expression. "I guess everyone gets to know now. If you're okay with sharing, that is."

I nod, not sure where my words were going, but I begin my explanation anyways. I mainly tell them about how I ran away from the lab and that I have powers. I spare them with the details and the depressing life I lived because that's not really something you just throw around.

"Woah, okay. So can you show us something? Wait, push Johnny off of his chair!"

Everyone laughs at Yuta's comment, everyone except Johnny who was glaring playfully at the younger. I giggle to myself.

"Nakamoto!" Everyone silences at Johnny's shout, startling us all. "You are really mean and it hurts my feelings." He whines out, adding a very dramatic pout at the end. "My dad, who discovered coffee, didn't put in all of the hard work that he did for me to be bullied by a Yuta."

At this, I burst out laughing, causing everyone to turn towards me. "S-sorry, it's just that, you two are really funny."

"This clown thinks of himself as hilarious-"

"Alright, alright." Taeyong interrupts the arguing from beginning again. "Haechan, show us something. Anything."

I hesitate. It was different than performing my abilities in front of the lab workers, but this is an audience who has never experienced something like this. I decide on something simple, only because I didn't want to lose control.

So, I find the nearest thing, which was Johnny's plate and decide to spin it slightly with my mind. Except, it wasn't going to go as I had planned because next thing I know, the plate spins a little too fast and some food gets flung off.

Landing on Johnny.

I gasp, "I'm so sorry. I lost control and it spun too fast!" I grab a napkin and start dabbing away at some of the food that managed to hit him. There wasn't much, only a small stain, but it still left a mess.

No one spoke for a moment, but then all at once, everyone erupted into laughter. "That was amazing! I feel so honored to have food flung on me without touching it. Wow, I wish I had telekinesis to do my laundry. Hey, can I borrow your power sometimes?" Johnny laughs at his joke.

I felt relieved that they weren't mad, especially Johnny. After I finish helping get the food stain off, I sit back down, still feeling slightly embarrassed. That was a turn of events. I definitely need to practice that a little more.

"Johnny, food is a good accessory on you. What a fashion statement!" Xiaojun's comment had me joining the group's laughter.

They make me feel at home here.
