Paris

Son Chaeyoung's POV

It's been a week since I got here in Paris. Guess what?! My appa enrolled me into a painting workshop for a week. He is close with the instructor in a known university here in Paris. I didn't know that sitting and painting the whole day will make me this tired. So far, I learned something new and I'm excited to share it with So Hee Unnie because we both love art. Speaking of her, she's now in hospital in Japan. I always call her at night when we are both free because I know she's bored. About the girls, two days after my flight, I sent Jihyo Unnie a congratulatory flower for her solo debut. I'm so proud of our leader. By the way, she's hitting the top 1 spot in all Korean Charts. Yey! I heard Dahyun and Tzuyu were busy with their own activities as well as Nayeon and Jeongyeon Unnie. About MISAMO Unnie, Mina texted me that she safely arrived in her hometown. She will be visiting their company. She's been chatting with me since then. And my heart is so happy. Momo Unnie always chats with me too. She's like a housewife asking for whatever I'm doing but it's fine. I like it when someone cares for me. Sana Unnie?! I heard she's busy meeting her korean friends.

Sweetie...Are you sure you're going to Japan? My mom asked me.

I nodded.

Why not extend at least a week? My Mom asked me.

I want to be with you but you and appa have a emergency in work, right? I asked  her.

She nodded.

And, I don't have anything to do here in Paris. I prefer going to Japan and accompany So Hee Unnie I said.

Oh! Wow! Don't tell me you change your heart now? I thought you will be visiting Mina. My appa teasingly asked me.

Hmm.. I can do both actually but she's busy with business things appa plus the boyfriend. I said.

Right! The boyfriend. Because you're too slow. My appa commented.

No. It's just I'm not really sure of my feelings in the past. If I like her romantically. I reasoned out.

And, now you do?! My mom butts in.

I shyly nodded.

Aigoo. You really grown too fast my daughter. By the way, your new short blonde hair suits you well. My mom said smiling at me.

Exactly! I'll bet my 1 month salary that you'll get your self a girlfriend this month!! My appa announced.

What are you talking about that?! I asked him.

I'm talking how good looking you are! Really! I swear if you just loosen up a bit and will not stick with your hopeless crush. You'll definitely have not only one but more girlfriends!! My dad confidently said.

Yeobo! Stop. I know our daughter is pretty and cool. but I don't want her to be like that. My mom said glaring at my appa.

I just giggled.

Wanna bet? I'll give you my one month salary if you're still single this month. He asked me.

Ok-ay. Sure. So, what should I give you? I asked.

How about... Tell to me your darkest secret?! He said.

Darkest secret huh?! Well, I'm sure I'll never get to have a girlfriend this month.

Okay! Deal! I said.

Japan
Hospital

Han So Hee's POV

It's been a week since I'm confined here. It's really boring and tiring to do same things again and again except to answer Chaeyoung's call every night. I met my doctor last week and he's really good to me. The hospital provided me a VIP room in tenth floor of the building. I heard that this is intended for the owner's family when they are sick but since I'm a Han, I received special treatment which I think unnecessary. Here with me is my best friend Kazuha. I ask her to be my private nurse and she gladly accepted my request.

Psst.  That phone of yours didn't left your hand since this morning. Kazu asked me.

I sighed.

What?! Waiting for your lover's call? She asked me.

Lover?! Chaeyoung is my friend. I said.

Friend in my foot. Don't lie anymore because you're so obvious. She said.

Someone knock on my room.

Are you expecting a visitor except your parents? She asked me.

I shook my head.

And, it's not yet time for your doctor rounds?! She added while trying to remember.

I saw her walk towards the door.

Hi! I'm Son Chaeyoung. Is this Han So Hee's room?!

Son Chaeyoung?! She's here!

Oh! the girlfriend is here. Come in. Kazu said.

My eyes widen upon seeing her. Wow! She's really beautiful. If I'm not sick probably I already kneeled down and asked her out.

Hi! She said lovingly smiling at me.

Oh! God.. Why.. Why I'm seeing an angel, right now?! Do I deserve this angle smiling at me?!

Hey! She said hi. Kazu said.

Oh! He-llo the-re. I didn't expect you'll visit me. I stuttered.

Something came up with my parents regarding work.. and I don't like staying in Paris alone. She said walking towards me.

I heard Kazu cough.

Oh! Right! Chaeng, this is my best friend Kazu. She's a nurse and I asked her to be my private nurse for the mean time.

Hi. Unnie. I'm Son Chaeyoung. Please take good care of me and So Hee Unnie. She said and bow down.

She's so cute.

Hello. I'm Kazuha. Pleasure to meet an idol like you. Please take good care of the friend too because I can't take care of her alone. She jokingly said.

I heard her giggle.

You lose weight Unnie. She worriedly said.

Yeah! It's the effect of the treatment Chaeng but I'm okay. I said.

I know you'll be okay!..  because I'll be here with you for the rest of the month. She gladly said.

My jaw dropped.

Wait! So, you'll stay here for three weeks?! I asked.

Yeah. I can see no problem in that. Right?! She asked me.

Definitely Yes! No problem Kazu butts in.

What are you doing?! I asked Kazu.

I'm helping you, stupid. She whispered.

I guess there's no issue at all. Chaeng said smiling to us.

Her visual is really no joke.  I swear. I think I'm gonna die from heart attack if she's with me.
