Lost In Paris

Miyun laid in bed awake, staring at her screen, re-reading Luhan's last message all over again. Something inside her hurt. Alot. 

She rolled onto her side and saw Chanyeol sleeping peacefully, the blanket pulled all the way to his face only leaving his eyes peeking out. She smiled softly as she saw him nuzzle the blanket.

She glanced at her phone again. 3:27 a.m. She'd have to be awake in less than five hours for the tour. What was she doing awake? She groaned silently as she got up from her bed and silently walked over to the balcony. 

She opened the door quietly, letting in the cool Parisian air. She slipped outside and walked over to the metal railing. 

She gazed outside and sighed. Even the soft twinkling lights of the city couldn't calm her. 

Let me show you why Paris is called the City of Love

Be my belle

Luhan's sweet words ran through her mind. She rested her head onto her folded arms as she stared off into the distance at the Eiffel Tower just barely poking through the tall buildings. 

"M-Miyun?" She heard a voice croak.

She turned around to find Chanyeol standing there in his white t-shirt and shorts, clutching his pillow like a baby clutches its teddy bear. Miyun gave him a warm smile.

"Sorry did I wake you up? I think I forgot to close the door." She replied. She watched as Chanyeol stepped out and ended up being right next to her. 

She looked up at his face and couldn't tell whether his gloomy expression was from his exhaustion or something else. Sadness?

"No it's fine...but...why are you out here? At this hour?" Chanyeol said nervously, squeezing the corner of his pillow. 

She sighed and looked out into the scenery again. "Nothing, just thinking about things."

Chanyeol bit his bottom lip nervously. Thinking about Luhan again? Thinking how you want to be with him? But you can't...cause of me?

Chanyeol argued with himself whether to ask what she was thinking about. "What are you thinking about?" And lost the battle.

She hummed and tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear. "Mmm...just something. It's fine Channie." She didn't feel the need to blabber to Chanyeol how much she wanted to go on that date with Luhan when she already knew Chanyeol and him weren't on too much of a comfortable term. "Just random stuff."

She was shocked when Chanyeol stepped closer to her. She looked up and saw the sadness and disappointment in his eyes. But why were they there? 

"Let me guess. Luhan?" Miyun could hear the pain in his voice. She wanted to hug him and ask him what was wrong, but it didn't seem appropriate. 

She couldn't lie to Chanyeol, especially with him at this state. 

"Yeah." She replied truthfully. 

She was surprised when Chanyeol threw his pillow down suddenly and grab fistfuls of his hair. She stepped back for a moment only to meet the end rail of the balcony. 

"Why?" His voice wavered. She could hear how unsteady his voice was. Almost as if it was going to break any second. Chanyeol tired to keep his voice steady but a lump in his throat was making it hard for him. Why do you think of him when I'm already here and have always been here. 

She raised her brow. "Why what?" 

Chanyeol took a step closer and looked down at her. 

She gulped nervously when he came closer. Her heart raced when she noticed the distance between them. She didn't dare look up. She didn't want to see him in pain for what ever reason it was.

"What's so special about Luhan?" He asked. What makes him so different from me that you want to be around him all the time.

Miyun looked up and instantly saw the gloomy expression in his eyes. The happiness was gone. This wasn't her happy virus. 

She stared at him. "What do you mean?"

Chanyeol groaned and grabbed her shoulders. She was shocked by how much pressure he was putting on her. "Just answer me." His voice was cool, no bit of emotion.

Miyun bit her lip and shrugged. "I don't know."

Chanyeol grew frustrated and threw his arms off before heading to the other side. She didn't know what was going on so she ran after him and grabbed his hand. She watched him flinch. He turned around and she could see his eyes glistening. Is he crying?

"Ch-Chanyeol..." She muttered.

She heard him sigh. He looked straight at her. "Does he make you that happy?"

She didn't answer.

"It's not a trick question Miyun. Does he make you happy?" 

She nodded. "Yes Chanyeol, he does make me happy."

She was surprised when Chanyeol squeezed his eyes shut and shook her off. "Then go see him tomorrow." 

"But..." Miyun muttered. What about us? 

"But nothing. You're miserable and I can't stand it. Just go Miyun. I'll be fine." Chanyeol said bluntly before walking back into the room. 

She felt awful. She went inside the room to see Chanyeol holding her phone. "Here, I already said you'd go." He tossed her phone to her and he was right. On her screen was a new message sent to Luhan.

Lulu Oppa: Hi, I am so sorry for the late reply. It's okay now, I can go if you still want. Answer me in the morning. Goodnight oppa.

"Chanyeol...you didn't have to." She mumbled tracing her finger on her phone. 

She heard his bed creak and looked up to find him crawling into bed. Chanyeol gave her one last look, "I said it was fine. I don't want you miserable." Even if it means I have to be...


She brushed her hair out before tying it into a side pony tail. She sighed as she glanced in the mirror, still unsatisfied with how she looked. 

Her dark hair was getting frizzy and the bags under her eyes weren't helping with her overall appearence. She glanced down at her phone and sighed. Time for the tour...

She stepped out of the bathroom to see Chanyeol crouching down to tie his shoes. When he looked up, he instantly avoided her gaze. She felt uncomfortable and played with her thumbs.

"Ready?" Chanyeol asked. 

She just nodded as they exitted the room. The silence from the room to the bus was excruciating and never once in her life, did she want Chanyeol to speak more than she did now. She wanted to hear him blabber bout his weird dream or how the tour guide's eyes would occasionally twitch if something was off schedule even if by a minute. She wanted him to say something but nothing. 

She couldn't speak, only because every time she did, she felt like her words would cut through him like a knife. She didn't want to hurt him anymore. 

They boarded onto the bus and once they sat down, she instantly saw Chanyeol plug his headphones into his ear. 

"Good morning folks, today we are..." The guide's voice completely left Miyun's mind. She watched from the corner of her eye, Chanyeol turn his music all the way up. Up to the point where she could hear his music playing softly from the outside.

She wanted him to do the usual and explain to her how fun today was going to be and how the place they were going to was more than what meets the eye. Say something Channie. Please? Tell me how I'm wrong and that the place we're going to is actually interesting. Prove me wrong again. Anything, just as long as I hear your voice and it isn't hurt.

She rubbed the back of her neck nervously before staring down at her black combat boots. They were the shiny plastic kind with dark black laces. She could see in the faint reflection of her boots, Chanyeol sitting quietly. His eyes would drift around the bus but somehow always land back onto her secretly. 

She rubbed her hand on her phone. Luhan probably hadn't had a chance to look at his phone yet which explains the lack of answer.

It's not too late. I can still cancel. She gathered up the courage and found her voice when she tapped on Chanyeol's shoulder.

He hummed and turned to look at her. Trying to show that he wasn't upset, he forced a smile but Miyun could see that it would never reach his eyes. "Yes? You need something?" 

She nodded nervously. "I-uh. Wanted to say that I could always cancel again. He hasn't answered yet." 

Chanyeol sat nervously and looked down at his lap. Here's your chance. You can get rid of the guilty feeling for letting her go. Do it now Chanyeol, tell her to cancel. She said it's not too late yet. Heck, she's even offering. C'mon Chanyeol. Do it.

"Miyun, I-" he paused when she put a hand up. Her phone had vibrated. 

Miyun swiped her finger across the phone screen and gulped. 

Lulu Oppa: you don't know how happy it makes me to know that you're coming Mimi~ I was having such an awful day. But you completely turned that around, so thank you. I'll pick you up around 6 pm okay? Just text me your location and I'll bring you back to the hotel to change. I'm so excited Mimi! See you tonight! 

Miyun felt go dry. When she turned back to Chanyeol, she could already see the headphones back in his ears, but she knew no music was playing because the ends of the headphones weren't even plugged in this time.
