Yawning, I raised my hands above my head to stretch for a moment. I looked around the park taking the time to observe my surroundings. I enjoyed the view of the small park. I sat on the bench as the birds chirped and the light breeze lifted my hair. It was nice to be outside during the morning time, because it was peaceful.

Lei, being the wonderful person he is, wanted to cuddle the entire night so he ended up falling asleep with me for the second night. Having him there with me was very comfy and I would say I have been getting the best sleep I've had in months. Having my head on his chest, his arms hugging me and his legs intertwined with mine would be something I wanted. He felt at ease with me close by and I could say the same.

Today was day three in Paris. This morning I woke up to a very sleepy Lei wanting to continue our cuddling. Me wanting to get out of bed wanted to go out, do a bit of exploring and go to a cafe to bring breakfast back to the apartment. Lei wanted to sleep in more and thought it would be nice to bring him a late breakfast around noontime.

There was a vibration on my phone and I looked down to my hand to see Feng Meizuo. I clicked the answer bottom waiting for Meizuo to appear on the screen.

"Meizuo," I smiled faintly as he appeared. His friendly face was calm and he frowned slightly.

"Hello Faye... are you outside?"

"Hmmm." I nod wondering if everything was alright. I have wanted to call him, instead he has called me.

"It's good to know you're awake, unlike Lei who is probably sleeping in right now. I... actually have been meaning to talk to you." He seemed slightly tense.

"I've been meaning to talk to you also..." I spoke softly and felt shy all of a sudden. I pushed a strand of my hair away from my eyes.

"I would have talked to you sooner..." Meizuo started. "You and Lei did leave for Paris instead of attending school yesterday."

"Right." I felt my cheeks heating think about my entire day with Lei. Yesterday was filled with many memorable events and was considered the best date, Lei could have given me.

"You're blushing," Meizuo smiled slightly. "You must be really happy with the outcome of going to Paris."

"Meizuo..."

"It's fine," Meizuo shook his head and tried to reassure everything was alright. "I really am happy for you and Lei. I've always known Lei had a special liking towards you. I knew we weren't going to last."

"I'm sorry I did not talk to you about this in person."

"I should be the one apologizing to you. I was the one in the wrong for trying to guilt you into not going with Lei and I wasn't there to hear what was going on with you the days upon returning from Sanya."

"It was hard for me when Ximen wanted me to leave so suddenly... Even through the school week I found things were difficult." Meizuo's expression turned with guilt. "I am sorry for ignoring your texts and calls. I was the one who told Ximen who was angry with me."

"That isn't your fault. I apologize for putting you in that position. I hope you're doing well now? I saw your post of you and Lei officially together?" Meizuo broke into a smile and I couldn't help, but smile at the mention of Lei and I. "I'm cheering for you both! I'm happy for you Faye."

"Thank you. I'm doing a lot better now since I've arrived here with Lei."

"That's good. I'm glad to hear that. I do hope you and Lei enjoy the rest of your time there. I'll see you when you get back?"

"Of course. You can't get rid of me that easily." Meizuo let out a deep chuckle.

"Alright. I don't want to intrude too much of your time. I hope you have a wonderful day Faye."

"Thank you!" I waved to Meizuo before he ended the call. My mind now felt more calming after talking with him. It was nice to see he was understanding and wanted to apologize as well even though I thought I was more in the wrong.

Before closing out of my phone, I decided to log onto my Instagram account for the first time since Lei and I posted yesterday evening. Part of me felt nervous and curious about what my followers have been saying. I went onto my profile and clicked on the post just posted just ten hours ago. Having just over a million likes, there were about ten thousand comments. The people who I followed or are mutual friends with me on Instagram were the first view of comments I noticed.

: My two wonderful and amazing best friends. I'm happy for you both 🥳

: Faye!! Studying abroad has done you well! I'm so happy for you! Hope to meet him when you come back here to the States! 🥰

: You two are adorable 😜

: So happy for you both!

: Another power music duo has been born 🎊

: Very lucky guy he is. Hope to meet him at our next gathering

: So cute the both of you are. You're in Paris right now as well?

My hand clasped my mouth from the flooding of positive and excited comments from my acquaintance, but also many of my followers. Not only that I noticed Cha Eun woo, also known as Lee Dong Min, from Astro has commented on my post, but he also follows me. When did this happen?

Not only am I a huge fan of Astro, but I enjoy seeing Cha Eun woo acting. Currently I am watching him act in My ID is Gangnam Beauty. How... Is he in Paris currently as well? Am I having one of my fangirl moments? I went into my messages on Instagram and looked through my messages from mutuals and noticed a message from Cha Eun woo himself. Shock is an understatement if someone was looking at me at this moment. I clicked on the message and began reading his message.

Hello Faye Calinao. I'm Lee Dong Min, but you may know me by my stage name; Cha Eun woo. I'm a member of Astro and Jinjin introduced me to your page. I am a fan of your performances and your ep you released earlier this year. I wanted to say congratulations on your announcement of you and your boyfriend Lei 🤗. I noticed they were all taken in Paris? I'm actually here in Paris myself and wanted to meet up with you if you're here. I hope I don't sound like a strange fanboy. From musician to musician, I'd love to meet you.

Is this real? It was definitely coming from his official account. Looking at the time the message was sent, I realized this was sent only twenty minutes ago. The idea of Cha Eun Woo up and somewhere around Paris this morning made me excited. I've wanted to meet him and the rest of Astro since they first debuted. I sent a message back asking him where in Paris he was and I was up to meeting with him this morning or anytime this evening if he was free. Not sure how quick he would answer, but thought it would be a good idea to let Lei know.

: I know who Lee Dong Min is ☺️ I've met him once during a competition. He's a pretty great violinist himself and a great person. I have no doubt you're under great care. Thank you for letting me know. I'm going to return to sleep 😴

I laughed lightly not expecting that sort of message from him. I returned to my message inbox on Instagram to see Cha Eun woo had messaged back.

Meeting now is alright with me. Have you had breakfast? I'm just arriving at Café de Flore on Boulevard Saint-Germain. You're welcome to join me and we can chat at the cafe here and have breakfast.

...

"Faye Calinao," I heard a call. I nervously approached the cafe in front of me and looked around for the voice who called for me. The cafe seemed to be decently filled with people. Many seemed to be the ones who were having breakfast before work or elderly who were with their loved ones.

My eyes landed on the only tall Korean male standing at the end of the outside seating area. He began making his way over to me. A friendly smile was expressed and as he approached me his smile somehow made me melt.

Today he wore a white collared shirt beneath a gray turtleneck and a black blazer on top. He wore black jeans with a pair of white converse to go with the rest of his outfit.

Switching my brain to Korean, I bowed my head slightly before giving a shy wave.

"Hello. I'm... still in shock," I spoke nervously. Cha Eun woo broke into one of his cute smiles and laughed lightly.

"You speak Korean as well?" His eyes widen speaking in his native language. I hummed in response. "Ah you're so cute," he smiled. "I'm in shock too. I'm able to finally meet you in person. Let's sit down. I reserved a table for us." I nod and he turned to make our way towards the table he had waiting for us. Upon arriving at our table, I noticed there were pastries and a pitcher of orange juice. He pulled the chair back and looked towards me and I thanked him before taking a seat. He went to his seat.

"Thank you for inviting me to have breakfast with you. You're here in Paris though?" I questioned. "I thought you'd be filming right now?"

"You must be watching My ID is Gangnam Beauty." He spoke. I nod and he gestures for me to pick anything on the table to have to eat. "Filming is going on. I have the weekend off and wanted to have a small weekend getaway. I was surprised when I saw you and Lei post about your relationship. Huaze Lei and I met in 2015 during a competition. We were roommates for the weekend." It seemed interesting to learn something I would have never guessed.

"Cha Eun-"

"You can call me Lee if you'd like."

"Right," I nod realizing this was his stage name. "Can I be a fangirl for a moment?" I smile feeling nervous wondering if he would be okay with that.

"Sure, I don't mind. Hopefully you don't attract a huge crowd. As long as I can craze about you after." He took a bite into the freshly baked croissant.

"Deal." I began talking about when I first came upon his debut for acting and with Astro. My excitement talking about the shows he had been in and his current show then I talked about my celebration day when Astro would have their album release and how I used to give my younger siblings a concert based on their visual performances.
