Chapter 15

[No One’s POV]

Along the streets of the City of Love, it was bustling with a huge crowd. Parisian ladies were holding shopping bags and chit-chatting with delightful smiles on their faces as they talked about the purchases they had just made. Men clad in the latest fashion were walking along the streets, occasionally cracking a joke or two, lightening the atmosphere.

Couples were seen hand in hand, with affectionate eyes looking at each other, feeling the streets with their lovey-dovey aura. Teenagers were giggling while gossiping about the latest celebrities’ news. Children were seen running about, jumping around excitedly; while their parents looked at them with a happy smile.

It was a joyous night as the people in Paris enjoyed their weekend to the fullest.

Amongst the huge crowd was a young couple in their twenties, walking with their hands intertwined. None would have guessed that the lady had actually disliked the man before as she was looking around the streets, happily eating her ice cream cone.

The man, on the other hand, was a totally different issue. A blind man could see that he was radiating in bliss as he took in the sight of the lady beside him, eating her ice cream. He had a smile on his face, as if he was love sick. Which wasn’t exactly far off from the truth. He wasn’t love sick, but he was indeed in love.

In the midst of the street, the man stopped suddenly, causing the lady to follow his abrupt action. Confused, the lady tilted her head and stared curiously at the older man. She was about to ask him what happened when his thumb brush across the side of her lips and stopped her short.

“You have some ice cream there.”

As if reading her mind, the man spoke, telling her what she wanted to know. Then, without waiting for her response, he continued walking, tugging the now red-faced lady along.

The moment she felt his thumb on her lips, her heart started beating wildly. As he came closer and wiped off the little speck of ice cream, she felt more and more nervous. She didn’t know what this feeling was, but it was driving her nuts.

Sure, she had been in relationships, but none had made her feel like this. Never once had she felt so excited at someone touching her lips, and what’s more, it was just his thumb.

When his thumb left her lips, she felt herself wanting more. As the cold air brushed past her plump lips, she couldn’t help but feel a little abandoned.

She wanted those lips captured by his.

As these thoughts entered her head, her tinted cheeks flushed even more and she shook her head to clear herself of this thoughts and finished off her ice cream.

The duo had been spending their day in the streets of Paris all day long. They started their day with a breakfast at one of the most famous café in Paris, enjoying those small pastries. Next, they toured the Eiffel Tower, a must-do for tourists. She had been amazed and somewhat afraid, but he had taken her hands in his and never let them go, silently giving her the comfort she needed.

After that, it was a delicious lunch which was followed by having fun in the museums. The lady had a thing for museums and had gotten so excited that she went pulling the older man around, pointing out things to him, much to the amusement of the older man.

And right now, they had just finish dinner and were taking a walk along the streets, enjoying the night view. She had put her nickname, ‘Kim Yeolsal’ in full use as she whined till the older man would get her an ice cream cone. Though in her twenties, the lady had almost resorted to throwing a tantrum in the middle of the streets for her cone as the man didn’t want to get her ice cream because of the cold weather.

A river came into view and the couple settled down on the stairs of the sidewalk, enjoying the beautiful scenery. The man took off his jacket and placed it on the shoulders of the lady, surprising the latter at his chivalrous act. She hadn’t expected this side of him at all, but she smiled and accepted the jacket, putting her arms through the holes, glad that she saw yet, another side of him.

Throughout the whole day, it had been full of surprises as he showed her different sides of him that she hadn’t saw before.

His playful grins, his charming acts, his naughty teases and his caring side.

The last side had really touched her heart as he saw how he helped a child find his mother, although barely able to speak any French. He tried his best at coaxing the kid and a fatherly smile was plastered on his face as he said goodbye to the kid when he returned the child to his mother.

Looking at the river once more, the lady, suddenly stood up and went over to the railings. Taking in a deep breath, she spread her arms wide, looking like she wanted to embrace the whole river for its amazing scenery. Instead, she wrapped her arms around herself and hugged herself tightly.

When the older man came beside her, she turned his attention from the river to him and smiled at him, a sincere and gentle smile.

“Komawo, Lee Hyuk Jae.”

Those four words left her lips as she stared into the black orbs of Hyuk Jae’s.

He was touched by the sincerity of her words and a smile formed on his lips. For the first time, she had called him by his birth name and it was one of sincerity and care. Not being able to withstand those trembling emotions inside him, he grasped both her hands together and looked deeply into her big, brown eyes.

“Kim Hyoyeon, will you be my girlfriend?”
