The first thing Jisoo did once she stepped foot in the country was text her. And as expected she received a text from an eager puppy waiting to meet her.

Jisoo smiled at her phone as she put it away and walked to pick up her luggage. As expected, there were already cameras waiting for her.

She was excitedly waiting at baggage claim, her mask being unable to dim her bright smile.

"Why are only my bags not coming out?" She pouted as she cupped her hands to create "goggles" to look through.

The fansites could do nothing but shyly smile at the cute girl.

Jisoo was asking her way out of the airport when her manager escorted her towards an unfamiliar section. She was too busy fixing her mask to question what was happening.

And she didn't have time to either when the blonde jumped towards her with the cutest eye smile.

"Chu unnie!"

"Rosie!"

They briefly hugged and made their way outside.

"I just texted you. I thought we were going out later."

"No! I missed you." Chaeyoung clinged onto her arm as they both softly smiled. They saw each other a day ago.

A blow of sadness inside hit Jisoo as she remembered who she wished it was. Her chest heaved and it got slightly harder to control breath.

"Come on! Come on! You promised me a date at the Eiffel tower!" The younger couldn't stop jumping in the car.

Her words pulled Jisoo out of her horrible state. "Ahhh over excited chipmunk."

They pranced around the tower and took enough pictures to Rosie's heart's content the entire day.

They were seated at the restaurant, waiting for their orders as Chaeyoung tapped away on Jisoo's phone.

"What are you doing, Chaeyoung-ah?"

"Looking through our pictures." She replied as she keenly stared at her phone all focused.

"I wanna post our date but I'm not sure I'm allowed to for this week." She slightly pouted.

Not liking the sight, Jisoo quickly asked for the phone back and in five minutes, Chaeyoung's phone was blowing up with notifications.

"Unnie! You posted it?" Jisoo shrugged in response.

"It's on my feed. You can post us after this week." They left their phones untouched for the rest of their date night.

As soon as the girls entered the car, their managers informed them of the chaos online.

"They think we're dating?"

"They're speculating about it. Yes."

"What does he have to say about this?" She referred to their CEO.

"According to him it's your personal business and also he called Miss.Park cute."

Jisoo laughed as Rosé simply blushed in heavy embarrassment.

"In case you are, he said to treat her right."

Jisoo took that chance to tease Chaeyoung all the way to her hotel. As soon as they separated, Jisoo checked her phone for any texts from her. There wasn't any.

Weird. There was bound to be a storm later.

"Are these people or zombies?" Jisoo giggled as she saw the crowd that was rushing towards her.

"Train To Busan coming to life is not what I expected of Paris." Her manager said as he rushed her towards their car.

When he saw Jisoo tapping away on her phone, his eyes widened in shock.

"You managed to take a picture in this state?"

Jisoo nodded, hiding her small smile. The clear sky looked beautiful as always. One she would enjoy.

By the time they arrived at their location, there was a new crowd waiting for her that was making their way towards her.

"We really need to get you new bodyguards." He sighed as he got out and prepped for her to come out.

Jisoo silently watched everyone from outside.

Is she here? Maybe.

In her mind she knew she wouldn't be.

Ready to face everyone, Jisoo put on her most convenient smile and walked out. And as expected, the crowd ambushed her.

Here came the usual questions on the new collection, her experience in DIOR and as always the "Are you currently seeing anyone?". Till day she doesn't understand how that's appropriate to ask.

And as always, Jisoo slipped away from their trap in a humorous manner. All it took was a charming eye smile and a childish joke and they were smitten enough to let it go.

It was obvious who the main event was. Amongst everyone, Kim Jisoo was the one with the most cameras on her.

Everyone appreciated her presence. Not only for her looks but for her character as well. Contrast to the "cold and cool" facade everyone was putting on, Jisoo simply smiled casually.

A successful day overall, according to her co-workers who greatly enjoyed having the spotlight shine on her.

"You did great out there." Her CEO who had decided to act as her bodyguard informed her as he carefully walked her back to their van. "Even Chanel's launch was overshadowed by you alone."

"I bet you enjoyed rubbing it in their faces." Jisoo chuckled.

"Enjoyed? Oh, I was overjoyed with pleasure seeing their irritated faces. Although, one of the models did attract a lot of attention."

"Hmmm." Jisoo simply hummed as she waved goodbye. Once she settled in the van, she ordered her delivery to her room and leaned back in her seat, deep in thought.

The next few days went by in a buzz. She did get to explore various locations with DIOR and even attempted to steal Lady Diana's iconic bag (unsuccessfully).

Her visiting period has passed so hastily. She will be leaving tomorrow morning.

"Did you enjoy our stay?" They were currently at one of the afterparties of an event.

"Of course. It was lovely. I really don't want to leave." She looked at the crowds of guests.

He chuckled heartily. "The feeling is mutual among many. It's quite disappointing that I won't be coming back with you."

"Oh, I will definitely miss you. Feel free to visit me anytime. Someone needs to check on the Korean branch more often." She nudged him as she shot a wink.

Their laughs turned into soft sighs right before they downed their drinks.

A melancholic end to her night as Jisoo staggered inside her apartment, bidding goodbye to her manager.

She managed to change herself and heated up some tea to sober her up. Couldn't afford to wake up with a migraine.

On her last few sips, there came a sudden knock on her door. Assuming it was the manager, Jisoo jumped off the bed and went to finally answer.

The person on the other side must've grown impatient as they kept knocking even as Jisoo was slowly making her way to the door in her still somewhat drunk state.

Jisoo harshly swung open the door, getting annoyed with the constant knocking.

She had to take a step back to make sure she was seeing right.

"Missed me, darling?" The girl smirked at Jisoo.

Jennie really had an unintended ability to render her speechless.
