9. The City of Love

Jungkook's POV

We just finished having our dinner outside, while looking at the view of the stars and the Eiffel Tower.

Noona was very expressive tonight. She talked about a lot of things, mostly about me. What she likes and loves about me.

I guess I'll consider this as one of the best days we had together. I felt like our relationship was getting stronger.

At first, I was really afraid that our relationship would just become boring and stagnant because we barely see each other due to our busy schedules. I was really afraid because that will lead to break up. But I was wrong.

I barely had any experience with girls before. I used to date way back then but it wasn't a serious relationship and I was very young back then. That is why I want someone who is older than me. I don't want to date someone just for sake of feeling butterflies on my stomach. I want to date someone who will help me grow as a person and someone whom I can learn things, about life and this cruel world.

That is why my younger self fell in love with IU. She's not just a singer, she's a true artist. I fell in love with her despite our age difference.

I fell in love with her wisdom, her wit and her sense of humor. She's everyone's dream. That is why I'm still over the moon now that she's my girlfriend. I promised myself before that if I don't marry IU, I wouldn't marry anyone else.

I am lying down on our bed while listening to some music. I was waiting for Jieunie to finish her night rituals in the bathroom.

After awhile, I saw her coming out of the bathroom only with her bathrobe. She turned the lights off and opened the door a bit, showing a glimpse of the bright moon outside.

I stood up from the bed and played our favorite song.

Now playing: Best Part by Daniel Caesar

I kneeled in front of her. And offered my hand.

"May I have this dance?" She smiled sweetly at me and bowed.

"Of course." She took my hand and put her arms around my neck while my hands automatically held her waist.

She's staring at me with those beautiful pair of eyes. With that stare, I felt like she was looking at me like I was the most handsome man she has ever seen.

Man, I'm the luckiest man on earth. I love her so much.

We're swaying to the soft music while staring at each other's eyes. Then I took a glimpse at my watch.

It's time. It's already 12 midnight. I pulled her closer to me and whispered to her.

"Happy Birthday, my love."

She rested her head on my chest.

"I thought you forgot." She chuckled.

"How could I forget your birthday~ I have something for you."

We stopped dancing for awhile. I took out my gift inside my back pocket.

I bought her a necklace with a moon and circle pendant on it. Engraved on the circle pendant was the word "je t'aime"
