We arrived in Paris. Or rather, we arrived in the hotel that was just out of town... a few minutes of walking and we were actually in the city.
The hotel was quite luxe. Didn't seem as neat and rich as Switzerland, but I was sure a lot of money got put in it. On the main floor worked a lot of people behind counters, some helping to carry your stuff, to lead the way, or check in.
I shared my room with Fry and Harriet, as Newt said. So we went up the elevator, and into our room.
It contained three made beds. White sheets. In this room was just one single relax chair. No couch or TV, but that didn't bother me much. A mini fridge where you had to pay for the drinks, nightstands next to our beds, and a clean bathroom.
"Well, I can live with this." Frypan was already stuffing his clothes into drawers. I lay down to test the bed. It was soft... warm, but definitely not better than Minho's arms.
Harriet claimed the shower first. I looked around in the room again. The walls were beige, small lights hanging on them. It was a nice hotel. Comfortable.
I dressed into my pajamas, ready to go to sleep when my phone made a sound.

Night Min
.·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·.
We woke up at nine, which was a perfect time. Not too early, not too late. I rested pretty well, except for the fact an image of Minho decided to pop up in my mind every second.
I was nervous as hell, too. Because I decided to confess to Minho tonight... if I was able to talk to him alone. It depended on where we would go through the day, and if he had to work. But I couldn't wait any longer.
My heart made a jump each time I saw him. I blushed a lot around him. His laugh made me laugh without even noticing it myself. He was the best man I had ever met in my whole life. I couldn't hide those feelings. Not anymore.
We ate croissants and eggs for breakfast, then left to Paris. We planned to go to the Eiffel Tower. Not climb it, that was too expensive. Just look at it, followed by the Arc De Triomphe. We would lunch somewhere, maybe go shopping, and then probably head back to the hotel.
Thomas was jumping around as we walked, a bright smile on his face. He told everyone 'Bonjour' when they passed by. It caused me to laugh slightly.
"I can see it!" He yelped and pointed at the Eiffel Tower. The thing was enormous. Taller than I expected it to be. People stood all around us, taking pictures of the statue as Thomas took his phone too.
We took pictures of each other, and Newt did his best to ask someone to take a one of us all in French.
Next was the Arc De Triomph, a famous monument. A triumphal arch with pretty details.
"Can we go up there?" I asked, mostly looking at Newt. "I'd like it."
"Sure."
So we bought tickets to go all the way up the building, 284 steps, to be exact.
It wasn't as tiring as I expected it to be, so soon we stood on top of the thing. And wow, we could see the whole city. The Eiffel Tower in the distance.
There was a shivering breeze, but the sun also shined me warmer. These were the climax points of our trip. The beautiful sights (take Minho for that, too).
The Asian was watching the sight too, a pleasant look on his face. "This is nice."
Everyone agreed with him. We watched and took even more pictures, then went down again. Some were impatient and wanted to leave fast, that's why.
By that time, it was past lunch time so we bought some croissants at a bakery and ate them on benches, most of us just enjoying the silence for once.
My eyes trailed to Minho a few times. One time I met his eyes and my cheeks caught a blush. After that, I only secretly glanced at him.
When lunch was finished, we visited a souvenir store. With the last money I had, I bought a keychain with the French flag for my mother.
Minho stood in the corner of the shop, a stuffed animal in his hands. It was a small, brown bear. The thing wore a white shirt, a heart with the French' flags colors on it. He stared at it for a long time, not moving until he noticed me coming up from his side.
"That's a cute one. Are you gonna buy it?" I smiled, suspecting this was for Nari. If it was, it would make me melt.
He shrugged. "I don't know... maybe she won't like it."
"Your little sister, right?"
"Yeah." He swallowed. His Adam's apple bobbled up before he rubbed his forehead. "I'll put it back. She won't—."
"Buy it." I told him, my eyes twinkling from this sweet act. "She's gonna love it, trust me. She will."
He looked at me for a while, a smile forming on his face. "Okay. I'll buy it."
I left him alone and found Sonya and Newt bickering about what would be a better gift for their parents, Thomas muttering what Chuck would like more, and Frypan helping Winston decide what to buy.
Aris stood with Teresa. They were talking happily, sparks nearly flying off them. The way Aris looked at her was enough. God, why weren't they together already?
Soon, everyone was pleased with what they bought and we decided to go back to the hotel. I didn't talk to Minho on our way back. My palms were sweaty from nervousness. I constantly bit my lip and fidgeted with my fingers.
If this was how we were gonna end the day, I would accept that. We had dinner in the hotel and left to our own rooms, so Minho wasn't with me and I didn't dare to text him to meet me. Too nervous.
But that text wasn't necessary.
Greek God ❤️❤️
Is the princess still alive??
Nope, suddenly died
Ah, I see. Tears are already forming in my eyes. Breaks my heart.
Mhmm
So what I was wondering... do you have plans this night? No sneaking out with Thomas?
Nope, not that I know of.
Perfect
So I'll take that as a yes?
To...?
Meeting me outside

Outside the hotel
