you're beautiful

-

how long must it take someone to fall in love?

"hey, you ready?" you heard jisoo ask, who stood just by the door of your shared bedroom. you immediately turned around to face her, and you watched the way the corners of her lips reach her eyes as she lets them wander down your dress-clad body.

a month? a week?

you smiled when jisoo took slow steps towards you, a single stem of red rose in hand as she held you using the other by the waist and pressed a soft, featherly kiss on your flushed cheek. "tu es belle."

you glared at her, causing her to let out a light-hearted chuckle as she nodded her head rather apologetically.

"you're beautiful."

you felt your heart racing uncontrollably inside your chest, yet you managed to send her a smile back. taking the rose from her hand, you wrapped your slender arms around her shoulders to pull her closer, forehead leaning against hers as you mumbled back just as softly, "you are, too."

a day, maybe?

is it truly possible to fall in love with someone within the shortest period of time?

jisoo smiled, shuffling your hair in a mess once again before pulling you towards the door of your bedroom. you both exited your suite and headed towards the elevator, hands gently intertwined, as if it's necessary just to make sure that the other won't let go.

it wasn't.

because you knew for yourself very well that you won't,

and you read by the way jisoo stares at you lovingly that she won't, either.

maybe you are good at reading people, after all.

when you reached the ground floor, peter was waiting just by the entrance of the hotel, car keys in hand. jisoo took it from him and thanked him politely, leading you towards the passenger's side to open the door for you once again.

"yah, kim jisoo." the latter turned towards you questioningly. "i told you earlier to stop being so polite," she chuckled, nodding once and asking you to continue. "but you were too stubborn to listen, so now you have to face the consequences."

"of you falling in love with me? i don't mind at all." she continued for you, although you originally intended to stop where you finished off.

you immediately turned beet red at the statement. "i thought you said you're not good at reading people at all?" you asked, smacking her arm lightly which caused her to laugh.

"i'm not." she repeated her earlier words, making you frown but only for a split second because, "maybe i'm just meant to be good at reading you."

the moment she entered the silver camaro, jisoo immediately drove off to le jules verne, one of the restaurants located on the iconic eiffel tower, itself. you were rather aware that the brunette's family were far too rich for their own good, but you certainly didn't expect to be dining in paris' michelin star restaurant right where the city's iron lady stood at the night of your eighteenth birthday.

the things she does for you.

you and jisoo chatted away as you ate dinner rather quickly, since the latter insisted that there's only a few hours left for your birthday, and she says she still has to show you something.

and so, you weren't able to register it anymore when she pulled you out of the restaurant and straight towards the exit, where she asked you to smile and pose happily as she took photos of you by the tower's mesmerizing lights. you took photos of her too, laughing at the silly poses and funny faces she makes as she continued to pose for the camera you're currently pointing towards her.

maybe it is possible to fall in love within a day.

the sound of jisoo's laughter immediately pulled you out of your thoughts, as you watched her run towards your direction with a huge heart-shaped grin plastered on her face.

"let me see, let me see!" she yelled, leaning closer to you as you showed her the screen. she laughed at how crazy she looked like at the photos, but you stayed silent on your spot, smiling to yourself, because you weren't looking at them.

instead, you were looking at her.

you watched the way jisoo approached a french man who's just about about to walk past you. you didn't understand what she said, but you figured she asked the man to take a photo of you together, because she ran back towards you again, heart-shaped grin still present as she wrapped her arms around you and said, "smile, chaengie!"

and who the hell were you to do otherwise as what kim jisoo told you to?

after taking several photos by the eiffel tower, jisoo reached for your hand once again, leading you towards a direction rather unfamiliar to you.

"chu, your car's parked the opposite way."

turning around to face you, jisoo shuffled your hair in a mess before holding either sides of your cheeks in her palms, squishing them lightly. "i know, princess. but we're walking this time."

you narrowed your eyes at her confusedly, but you followed her, anyway.

you both walked by the busy evening streets of paris hand in hand, fingers laced with each other's securely as you talked about the first thing that pops either of your clouded minds.

however, you pulled jisoo's arm to a stop when you suddenly spotted a group of street performers across the street, playing various musical instruments majestically for the people passing by.

the brunette smiled when she saw how excited you were as you jumped in place and pointed towards the musicians' direction, so she let you drag her by the hand towards their spot to be able to get a better view.

many people were gathered around them as well, some singing and clapping along the music they were playing, while others just stood still and watched closely. nonetheless, everyone has a smile plastered on each of their faces.

you couldn't help but sing along to their songs as well, and one of the performers noticed the way your angelic voice blended so perfectly with the music, so she invited you to join them and sing a song for them, yourself.

at first, you declined, not feeling so confident about singing with everyone watching you like that, but jisoo was there to encourage you, saying she believes in you and convincing you that you can do it.

and so, you did.

and god, how good does it feel; singing to people and letting them hear your own words, and exposing raw emotions through the angelic sound of your voice, with the graceful music playing in the background, and the crowd singing beautifully along with you as well,

it was ecstatic.

however, what really felt the best to you was the moment you saw jisoo watching you from the crowd intently, her smile wide and proud and her chocolate eyes radiating pure adoration and love.

you didn't waste a second before running towards her direction, wrapping your arms around her neck and kissing her passionately as you let happy tears escape from your burning hazelnut orbs once again.

you didn't care if people saw, you'd let them watch, and you'd let them clap and cheer loudly for the two of you. you didn't care if they took videos and pictures of you even as you pulled away and leaned your forehead against the brunette's, sending her a wide, loving smile, because it's all jisoo that matters to you the most.

the entire rest of the world, you were too in love to even mind.
