49 The Promises Of Love

This is the best day of my life, Taehyung and I are now official. Even I did ruin our date yet he had a back-up plan to ask me out. And now, today is our last day in Paris and we decided to buy the souvenir for our friends. 

Currently, I'm waiting for Taehyung, who's taking a shower and it's been a half-hour since he steps inside the bathroom. Then, I saunter closer to the bathroom and carefully touch my fist on the door, and knock. 

"Yes?" He then asks.

"Are you done? I mean it's 9 in the morning and we have many things to buy." I inform.

"What is he doing inside? It's been 30 minutes since he's getting inside the bathroom." I murmur whilst slowly, I lean my right ear at the door yet he doesn't answer.

Subsequently, I almost stumble over when the door opens. Then, my head feels the toned muscle as a strong arm around my waist. Carefully, I look up, and there, I see a smirk forming on his lips. And I realize that he's topless and when I glance at his toned muscle, my eyes wide and push him away. 

He chuckles as he strides closer to me whilst I'm backing away. 

"You're blushing. What are you thinking?" He asks with his husky voice. I feel the shiver when he waddles closer to me until my back touches the wall. 

Then, he leans his hands on the wall, cornering around him. I strive to look away but I can't—like a magnet that attaches to his eyes.

Suddenly, he leans forward and whispers to my ear, "We're a couple now, no need to be shy."

He stares with a smirk on his lips. My eyes blink multiple times as my face forms a blush. And when I hear him chuckle, I glare at him, shove him hard, and walk away but my feet halt when he calls me. 

"Are you going to leave with that outfit?" He asks as I look at myself. My eyes wide when I'm in my night outfit. 

I turn around to face him and exclaim, "Y-you d-don't care!" 

I walk outside the hotel room as my back leans on the door. Thus, my heart thumps as fast as if I'm running at a marathon. 

"W-what just happened?" I inquire of myself. 

"I should just buy a clo—sh*t, my things are inside. I should just wait for him to finish before I walk inside the hotel room." I add. Then, I saunter to the elevator and push a button 'open' as I walk inside the elevator. I hit a button, 'grounds' as I wait to arrive. 

Within a second, the elevator opens when it reaches the ground floor. I wander outside and straight to the connected restaurant to have breakfast. As I step inside the restaurant, I straight to the counter as I inform the staff of my order.

After a minute of wait, the waiter walks closer to me as a smile never leaves his face. 

"Here's your order, Ma'am." He says as he gives my order. I thank him before walking outside the restaurant and straight to the elevator. 

Within a minute, the elevator opens, and strides inside the elevator. But when the elevator door closes, I startle when a man shouts whilst running towards the elevator. Hastily, pressing the button so he could walk inside the elevator. And when I discern he's inside, I let go of the button and press my floor. 

Suddenly the man greets with a smile on his face, "Good morning." 

Then, I nod and glimpse away. 

Thereafter, the elevator door slowly opens when reaching my floor, and stroll out of the elevator. 

And when the elevator shuts, I turn around to face the man and his smirk with a hidden motive freaks me out as the man's word captures my attention, "Be careful, Princess."

"W-what was that?" I ask myself before walking to my hotel room.

After lunch, we come to the market place to purchase a souvenir for our friends. 

"Let's go over there," I mumble to Taehyung whilst pointing out the figurine shop and walk inside the shop. 

Then, I step closer to the castle globe that Jungmin likes. I grab two of them, place it on the basket and wander to Taehyung, who's picking some candle scents. 

"Do you want that?" I ask. He hums as he turns beside to face me. 

"They love candle scents so I'll buy 5 of them. Cherry, lavender, and peppermint." He states as he places the candles inside the basket. 

After that, Taehyung strolls to the counter to pay for the souvenir as I step outside the shop. 

My eyes travel to a shop called French Chocolate Shop. Hence, my feet guide me inside the shop, and when I step inside, My nostril hits the scent of chocolate around the shop. I walk closer to the counter and ask for the best-seller chocolate. She smiles and gives the menu.

"500 grams of white, milk, and dark chocolate." She responds with a nod and puts all my order inside the bag before bestowing the paper bag. 

Then, I give my pay to the cashier and walk outside the shop. Taehyung, on the other hand, walks closer to me as he grabs the paper bag.

Subsequently, my eyes land at the shop, 'Vintage Jewelry', then shake Taehyung's shoulder and point out the shop. He nods and as we step inside, my eyes glimmer with awe when seeing the glamorous jewelry that displays inside the glass cabinet.

 There, I see this vintage necklace. I glance closer to it and it's like a birthstone. 

"Hello ma'am would you like to take a look at the necklace?" A woman in the mid-'20s in age asks. 

I smile at her and nod. 

She puts out the necklace as she bestows the necklace. Thus, I notice that she's staring at my necklace. 

"Your necklace is very unique, where did you get them?" She asks.

I feel uneasy when she keeps looking at my necklace yet I ignore it and reply to her, "Someone gave me the necklace." 

"Would you mind if I see it?" She asks as she slowly reaches the necklace but before she could, Taehyung shoves me away as his eyes stare with fiery eyes at the woman. 

"Let's go." He sternly says, pushes me outside the shop. I strive to loosen his grip yet he doesn't remove it from my wrist. 

"Taehyung let go of my wrist!" I exclaim. Then he stops from our track.

"What was that?!" 

"I have a bad feeling about that woman that's why I push you away."

"But you don't need to be harsh on my wrist!" I yell whilst rubbing my wrist. He releases a deep, heavy sigh as he glances at me and walks closer to me. 

He reaches my hand as he observes my wrist and gradually, his lips touch my wrist whilst looking at me and say, "I'm sorry if I hurt your wrist." 

Abruptly, I notice that we're in the Pont des Arts, the most famous lock bridge in Paris. He smiles as he takes out the padlock inside his pocket and hands it to me. 

"What… is this?" 

"This padlock represents our love for each other. No matter what happened to us, our love locks to each other and I will promise you that no matter what, I'm not going to leave you and cherish the day we've spent. I love you, Minsoo." He says. 

"T-Tae." I stutter whilst looking at him, tears rushing down my cheeks. Then, he caresses my cheeks and removing my tears. 

Then, he holds my hand, pulling me close to him, and opens the padlock. I place it on the rail and lock it. The key that I'm holding slowly throws at the river. 

I look at him as my hands clasp both of his and say, "Thank you for everything, Taehyung. I promise that I'll be here for you, cherish you, support you, and love you until my last breath. I love you Taehyung."
