Edyth started their LIVE: Cooking Live!

pairing: edyth x jeonghan, mentions of other members & carats

dont wanna cry era

genre: humor, slice of life

wc: 800ish, short and sweet!

“Hi, everyone!”  Edyth waved at the camera, eagerly waiting for people to enter the live. She glanced over at her own phone screen, looking through some of the comments.

“Where is your headband from? Oh! My headband is actually a gift! Yun got it for me on Christmas.”

She answered a few more questions before clapping her hands, signifying the beginning of the actual liveshow.

“Good morning, everyone! Or, I guess it could be night where you are… anyways! It’s morning here and since I mentioned being recently into cooking, I was thinking I could do a little bit of a cooking vlive with you guys!”

The obvious excitement in her voice was enjoyable to watch and many carats expressed liking the idea of the stream.

“Since it is morning, I plan on making pancakes from scratch. None of the members are awake yet, so hopefully I’ll be done by the time they wake up!”

Edyth took her time reading through a recipe that she had found online, showing the ingredients to the viewers as she went. Soon enough, she had put all of her dry ingredients in one bowl and her wet ingredients in another. She planned using a hand mixer in order to get the batter done quicker. She plugged it in and placed it in the bowl.

“Why am I kind of nervous to do this?” Edyth asked carats. She chuckled nervously, then taking a deep breath, she finally turned it on. The batter immediately flies everywhere and Edyth lets out a scream before shutting the mixer off again. She’s frozen, with her mouth open and wide eyes flickering from the comments that are flying past her screen, the mixer still in her hand, now dripping with unmixed batter, and the batter now sticking to the counters and even the wall. 

“What happened?” 

Edyth whips her head at a person off screen like a deer caught in the headlights. Despite his raspy morning voice, carats are able to tell that it’s Jeonghan that has walked in on Edyth’s mess..

She pouts and puts down the bowl and mixer, “Did I wake you up? I’m sorry.” She is just now remembering how much of a light sleeper Jeonghan is and how she should have done this on the other floor where she wouldn’t have woken any of the light sleepers.

Jeonghan carefully steps over some batter that has splattered onto the kitchen floor. He shakes his head at Edyth, “How could I have not woken up when you're ruining our kitchen.” He chuckles when Edyths frown deepens, “I’m just kidding, I’ve been awake for a while but got worried when I heard you scream. I just wanted to make sure that nothing happened. Are you making breakfast?”

“Yea. Say hello to carats!”

Jeonghan waves at the phone. “Why don’t you clean the mess you’ve made and I’ll finish mixing this for you.”

The two get to work, Edyth whips down the counters and the floor while Jeonghan finishes mixing the batter, without getting it everywhere. They tear open a bag of chocolate chips. Edyth giggles as she adds them to the batter, trying her best to keep them away from Jeonghan, who was not so sneakily eating them. Soon enough, they’re taking turns pouring the batter onto a pan and flipping them.

It isn’t much later that they’ve moved to the living room, sitting cross legged in front of their table and with plated pancakes waiting to be eaten.

“Okay!” Edyth claps in excitement, “You take the first bite.”

Jeonghan laughs at her bubbliness. He’s still chuckling when he brings a fork up to his mouth and takes the first bite. He suddenly quiets down and his facial expression stills before seemingly recovering.

“What was that?” Edyth asks.

“What was what?”

Edyth points a finger at him, “I saw your face change! Do they suck?”

“No, no.” Jeonghan denies, his hands waving in front of him. “Sure, they’re not the best, but they’re….” He trails off, not being able to come up with an adjective to positively describe the food without lying. Edyth hits Jeonghan on the arm and they laugh.

“You eat it,” Jeonghan says.

Edyth reaches for her utensils and cuts herself a piece, shooting Jeonghan a dirty look, “I bet it’s good, you’re just messing with me.” 

Jeonghan laughs when she finally puts the first bite in her mouth. She chews slowly, as if trying to make up her mind on what to think of their creation. “It’s good?” Jeonghan teases.

The two of them decide to scrap the pancakes all together and instead of trying to make themselves breakfast, they chat with carats as they sip on their coffees. Soon enough, members start to wake up, each of them being offered a bite from their failed pancakes, and each of them spitting it out. Jeonghan and Edyth can only giggle as they watch their members suffer the same way they did.

As the stream comes to an end, Edyth thanks Jeonghan for making their morning fun and carats for sharing their morning with them. The two of them share a knowing look when Dk is the last member to enter the kitchen and is intrigued by the pancakes sitting on the counter.

[ STELLARS — a guide to astella’s fandom . ]

WHAT ARE STELLARS ? ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ stellars is the name given to the fanbase of kpop idol astella , the name was given to fans on january 10th , 2022 – three months after her debut . the fanbase is known for being fairly nice to get along with , only getting rowdy when it’s time to ‘ defend heejin ‘ . they’re very loyal , quite literally known for getting astella out of ‘ nugudom ‘ , convinced her company to have her perform at coachella , although she didn’t headline , it was still an amazing achievement for her . they even have their own community on twitter (x) , called stellars!

THE OFFICIAL STELLARS COLOURS ! ... the official colours for stellar are the swan ( #FCD417 ) , the sun ( #FF709C ) &&. the cyclop ( #FE8650 ) . each color is meant to represent astella’s growth ; her time in promise being the swan , first year as a soloist being the sun , and the cyclop being her revenge (reputation) era , the one she’s currently in .

THE OFFICIAL STELLAR LIGHTSTICK ( insp. venusvity ) ! ... THE FIRST lightstick , also known as the stellabong , was the very first light stick that dropped 2 months after astella’s initial debut in 2021 and came free with the physical album copy . stellars absolutely loved the design of the lightstick , it’s chargeable and can change into three different colors when you press the button , it is still available on astella’s website to this day .

THE ORIGINAL lightstick was released a month after the stellabong , it’s the only lightstick that stellars have where there is a handle. it’s known to be the least favorite light stick out of the the generations , although it is still used when astella performs on inkigayo or music bank , this really played into the mermaid feel a little bit , her international fans aren’t very fond of it , but her korean fans like it . the current retail price is $34 USD ( ₩45,307 ) , although as of 2024 it isn’t bought as much . however , at concerts astella still uses it whenever she can!

THE LATEST stellabong was release early june 2022 , just in time for astella’s performance at lollapalooza paris , replacing the previous one after a year run to mark the start of the ‘ revenge era ’ . simply being a modified version of the first gen stellabong , fans enjoyed improved shaping and quality , they definitely think this one is the best lightstick out of all three , it looks pretty , and just like the first one can change colors! the current retail price is 65$ USD ( ₩86,617 ) , astella likes to keep the prices of the lightstick’s in range so that most of her fans are able to afford it . but , there are still resellers in the fandom who either sell the lightstick for more or a cheaper price .

WHAT IS STELLARS FAVORITE ERA? ... NOBODY KNOWS is the most popular era out of all of astella’s comebacks so far , she gained tons of fans during this era and going viral almost every day thanks to her beauty . in a fan vote , 50.5% of stellars said they liked this era the best . ever since this era started , stellars started to get the ‘ stellars are so toxic ‘ treatment , they don’t care , they obviously act the way they do because of all the things heejin has been through . she also is active a lot on bubble and instagram threads , where she talks abiht things behind the scenes .

SUGARCOAT comes second in terms of popularity , having been voted by 45.1% of fans . most of this popularity stems from the fact that she just got out of her contract with her old company , almost getting blacklisted , and her name being infamous for the amount of months she was gone , a lot of the streams from this song , which garnered over 70 million views , came from people hate watching , wanting to see what’s all the hype about , but they ended up loving the song . before nobody knows became the best era in stellars eyes , sugarcoat was their roman empire .

QUEENDOM , is in third place , with a whopping 5.05% , queendom was the era of heejin being in promise , stellars don’t even want to talk about astella being the group . a lot of them like to pretend she was never in the group and was always a soloist after finding out in the lawsuit she made against her old company of the way she was treated , stellars don’t hold anything against the girls! a lot of them are still fans of them , they just won’t hesistate to hate on the company , a lot of ‘ toxic stellars ‘ would berate the members , saying they should’ve said something about her mistreatment but seeing how they really had no power stellars understand why the girls didn’t say anything . but it is thought to be known that the members still support her and astella does the same .

very much inspired by @mvneaten btw! it’s this post!

➥ with the album's release, Twitter is trending #CHICHIselfmaderapper , a hashtag under which STAY and CHICHI solo stans express their pride and admiration caused by CHICHI becoming the fastest rapping k-pop rapper, when until recently she was not comfortable with the Korean language (because of which she was a victim of derision)

• Parents: auntie hyunjin and han

Aini, previously the youngest in the family before her cousin Yongbok came into the picture (she hates her for it) is known to be a little dramatic. she's definitely a momma's girl and cries to her for anything. she enjoys picking on her older brothers Channie and Changbin and likes to steal their mothers attention from them. with that said, she is a crybaby.

☙ ɪᴄᴏɴɪᴄ ᴍᴏᴍᴇɴᴛs

although being a good actor, Aiko finds it very hard to act as Aini since aiko doesnt like doing cute stuff so sometimes she breaks character to silently cringe at herself

the first to defend her mothers honor against her fathers act of adultery (she just wanted to be included in the drama)

flexes the fact that she's trilingual (eng, kor, and jpn) and uses it against her cousin

while playing the silent game in the second skz family episode, she was hiding on the couch but when her aunt Lee Know got close she ended up on the top of the couch and fell off which made her 'cry' for her eomma

she secretly loves being able to be a 'girly girl' while playing Aini since she doesnt get to do it often being constantly surrounded by her members

in the newest episode, she had a rivalry with her cousin Yongbok since she didnt like having another little girl to steal the attention from her

Ew, Bugs

pairing: edyth x joshua

thanks era

wc: 600ish words, short and sweet:)

Edyth likes to sleep in. There are many days where that isn’t possible, usually due to a schedule, but if she doesn’t need to get out of bed, she won’t. Dk was a good roommate too, quietly leaving their room when she was taking a nap or going to a schedule that didn’t involve her. Which is why being wacked by a pillow is an incredibly shocking way to wake up.

“What?” she tiredly mumbles as she blinks up at her attacker.

Joshua grins at her, a mischievous smile on his lips, “Hurry up, get up.”

Edyth wasn’t sure what she expected from being woken up. It wasn’t super early anymore (it was 11am), so Joshua had been forgiven for his crime, but she still wasn’t sure if she was going to forgive him for making her go outside so early. He dragged her to the Han river, something about wanting to go on a walk but not by himself, and all the members that he had asked to go with him already had plans. She would never admit it to Josh, but Edyth was glad he woke her up for this. The weather was perfect, not too hot and not too cold, with a slight breeze. The river walk was littered with people sitting on blankets and on benches, people running and walking, but it wasn’t crowded. And to really top it off, Joshua had bought them coffee to sip on while they walked.

“Let's sit down for a bit,” Joshua says, gesturing toward the bench up ahead.

The two of them sit next to each other not really talking. It was just that kind of day, Edyth took a deep breath, enjoying a still moment in her otherwise chaotic life. From the bench, she could see a duck being followed by its many ducklings, a group of girls having a picnic together, a bug with- Edyth let out a terrified gasp, fixated on something on the ground. Joshua followed her gaze and saw a large bug walking across the pavement.

Edyth recoiled in fear, pulling her legs from off the ground. “Joshua, look at that!” she exclaimed. “It’s huge!”

Joshua laughs at her, pulling her into him and wrapping an arm around her shoulder. “It’s okay, it’s just a bug. It can’t hurt you.”

Edyth shook her head furiously, “Nothing should have that many legs, it's so… gross.”

“You’re a million times larger than it,” he teased.

“But I only have two legs,” Edyth pouted.

They both watched as the bug scuttled away, becoming invisible to the human eye as it buried itself into the dirt. Still weary that the bug would magically spawn in front of her, Edyth began to lower her legs back off the bench. Amused by her overreaction, Joshua snorts and then falls into laughter, unbothered when Edyth shoves him with a pout on her face for making fun of her.

“I can’t believe you just laughed at me the entire time! You’re supposed to protect me!”

“Protect you?” Joshua chuckles, “From something that was several feet away from you?

Edyth starts to get up from the bench, becoming annoyed by Joshua's teasing.

 “Whatever,” she mutters to herself, “ I’m going home.” She makes her way down the trail as Josh rushes after her.

Edyth grows even more annoyed when he throws his arm over her shoulder once he’s caught up to her. She leans over in an attempt to get away from him but he stubbornly holds him in place. From the corner of her eye, she can see Josh's shit-eating grin.

“Edythhhhh,” he says in a sing-songy voice, “don't be like that.”

“You're such a dickhead,” Edyth says.

“C’mon, you know that if that scary bug had gotten any closer than you, I would have gotten rid of it.”

“I hate you.”

Both of them smile.

“I know.”

go here to learn more about the album <3

[idoltime]

Idol Time’s First Episode featuring Venus’ Chloe Lee (@venusvity), aired on February 17th, 2024 with the shows host, Everlast’s Cody. The video gained 10M views in the first 3 hours and 25M views overall, earning it a #1 trending spot.

The Idol Time studio lights up as the video begins and a smiling Cody walks in, sitting down on a conveniently placed chair. He holds a set of queue cards in one hand, his other hand playing around with the microphone that sits in front of his face.

The setting is somewhat simple, two plain-coloured chairs opposite to each other, with a few lights strung above the seats and a glowing sign with ‘Idol Time’ scrawled over it, in a space-themed font.

Cody waits a couple of beats before saying the opening line, with the most enthusiasm he could possibly muster, “Welcome to Idol Time, the only interview show you need to worry about and the best interview show you’ve ever seen. Obviously, hosted by the Shin Junseo. Or Cody, whatever works!”

“Here we are. Episode one of Idol Time and honestly, I can’t believe I’ve gotten far enough to have my own show.” He laughs in mock sadness, wiping away faux tears. “But anyways! I'd like to introduce the first guest of the show, my favourite member of Venus and a very familiar face, Chloe Lee!” Chloe, right on cue and clearly rehearsed, walks into frame and sits down in the velvet blue chair placed next to Cody’s. “Hiii everyone! So nice to be here!” Chloe says cooly into the mic, waving to the camera with an excited but nervous smile.

“So? What are your thoughts so far?” Cody questions, clearly overjoyed by her presence. She nods slightly in response. "I'm very excited to be here, actually! Super excited to tell everyone about the album and everything in between.” She's not really excited to do either of those things but Chloe manages to pretend she is.

“Great! I was a little nervous having someone as famous as you on here, but I’m glad we’ve started off well.” Chloe chuckles quietly at Cody’s response, covering her mouth with her hand, politely. Smoothly, Cody introduces the next question. “You’ve been working hard recently, I’m sure everyone’s seen your face around a lot. Starzie especially, has been a big hit in the past few weeks, how was your debut?” His lips twitch to form a tight smile as he grips onto the queue cards, the mention of Starzie bringing back a few somber memories.

“Oh Starzie is...So much fun! Um, it's a lot to be promoting at the same time as Venus but it's fun. It was totally worth all that stress,” Chloe answers with a laugh, running her hand through her hair with a nod.

“I like working with everyone but Finn. He's a bit unpredictable," Chloe jokes with a playful smile before shrugging, “I was super excited to work with Doah and Poppy. Those two are so cool, especially Poppy. I really look up to her since she's the most experienced out of all of us. It's been super cool working with everyone and collaborating like that.”

Cody hums, nodding along to her words. “And I thought Finn was the most responsible member.” He responds to her joke, nudging Chloe’s shoulder. He tilts his head, preparing for the next question. “So I listened to the album and then again last week to refresh my memory and I absolutely loved it. Back 2 U and Beautiful Liar were my favourites but, we’re here to talk about you. Did you initially like the album and can we expect a comeback anytime soon?”

Chloe opens her mouth when asked about liking Starzie's debut before she inhales sharply, making an unsure face with a tilt of her head. Chloe laughs with a shrug, leaning back in her chair. “I mean! It's not what I'm used to! It's very loud! But I think we killed it. I liked working with the Starz especially on the B-sides. I think the B-sides are really where the album shines.” Cody silently agrees. He shifts in his chair before replying, “I like that about the album, though, It shows that a title track doesn’t need to carry the whole album to be a good listen, you know?” Chloe’s smile brightens with each word. “Exactly! You get it.”

Chloe continues, “I hope there’ll be a comeback soon! I hope we get a full album next time. Because, you know, promoting with those guys is super fun, I really enjoy it especially the girls--Oh, I love the girls. We're the show, really,” Chloe rambles, talking with her hands flippintly as she does so. “When we're backstage together, I always forget I'm not with Venus--It's such a weird feeling. Like, I'll look to my left to tell Bliss good luck and she's literally not there. It's Oliver. It's crazy. I love it! Just crazy, you know?”

“I know, we all get so used to a routine so when it changes it’s so weird.” He pauses, “You’re lucky, I bet it’s a nice change. I get so tired of promoting with my group every comeback. Love those guys though, don’t get me wrong.” He says, lightheartedly.

“Next question! We were on the same survival show, I killed it, You killed it, but I think we should be truthful about our experiences.” Cody starts, “Personally, I had a lot of fun, it was great and all, but there were some tough times. So I wanna know how you viewed it? Were things the same on and off camera?”

Chloe clicks her tongue as she looks up in thought, humming with an unsure expression.

"I wouldn't do it again. 'Wasn't my favorite experience," Chloe admits with a subtle shrug,

"You were there! You saw how stressful it was! Sorry 'bout that," Chloe laughs anxiously, giving a sheepish smile. "Yeah, I don't really...Like survival shows really put me in a bad headspace and I think that was really clear on the show. Like...l just wasn't doing well on that show. I wish I behaved differently...Sorry you had to experience that, Cody." She teases, reaching out and playfully putting her hand on his with a laugh.

Cody laughs along with her, shaking his head slowly. “It’s fine, Chloe. If I had to apologise for all the times I’d cussed out people in my life, I would be old and withering by the time I was done.” He stares at the camera awkwardly and the clip cuts to the next.

Cody clears his throat before continuing, eyes glued to his lap. “Do you—think anyone could’ve been rigged into Starzie?” Chloe pauses, looking down with a quirk of her lips.

“Um...l don't think so. No offense,” Chloe teases Cody again with a chuckle, trying not to look bored of the Starzie questions. He rolls his eyes in response, smiling sweetly straight after. “I thought there would be more boys, honestly. There's only two in the group and that was just barely...Maybe one of them was rigged in,” She speculates with a chuckle, “Finn was probably rigged in. I'm shocked SM didn't rig that Aespa girl in. I heard they tried but it didn't work out.” Chloe shrugs.

“I don't feel like being in a group called Starzie is that serious for rigging, you know?”

“Well, you heard it here first, everyone! Starzie is not a repeat of any of the Produce shows.” He voices, sending a jab their way. “Now, onto more pressing matters than a tortuous survival show, Venus! I also happened to love Venus Victrix, how were promotions?”

Chloe perks up at the mention of Venus, glad Cody’s moved on to a different topic. She sits up straighter and crosses her legs.

“They've been great! I love Venus!" Chloe laughs, smiling brightly. "It's been, you know, stressful with all the overlapping promotions but I'm coping! I'm growing...Everyday is a new adventure and I love that.”

“Any songs you disliked?” Cody entreats, his voice increasing in pitch as he asks. “Disliked? Um...l mean...7Seconds is kind of boring. It's not my favorite. Sorry to Noah. I know he liked that song but it just bores me. The rest of the album is flawless though. I'm really pleased with it.”

Cody blinks at the camera a couple of times before relaxing his face, a serious expression covering his usually bright smile. He quickly looks down and returns to the script “You’ve been talking about how stressed and overworked you are, I know it’s a sensitive topic. Is there anything you’d like to share with viewers?”

Chloe deflates slightly with sigh, nodding in defeat. She looks up, inhaling sharply though her teeth as she starts to pull out her acting skills.

“I've always had, um, struggles with my mental health. When you've been an idol for as long as I have—l've literally been doing this for eight years,” Chloe emphasizes how long she's been working, looking back at Cody with a forced smile. “You go through lows and I...l'm in a low. It's just...It's been really hard juggling everything—“ Chloe makes herself get chokes up, voice breaking pathetically making her look away and dab the inner corners of her teary eyes, sniffling.

“And it's so strange because I should be really happy! Venus is doing amazing, Starzie is doing well, everything I do is great, but I just wake up and feel like I'm stuck and I hate it.”

It's so—“ Chloe struggles to think of a word, taking a deep breath through her nose before deflating with a defeated shrug. “I don't know.” She sighs, silently looking away.

“I was diagnosed with, um, PTSD recently so l think, maybe, that has something to do with it? But, yeah, it hasn't been easy lately.”

Cody looks at Chloe, giving her a sort of sad-sympathetic smile. Chloe doesn’t pay this any mind and simply signals for him to continue, which he does. “Thank you, Chloe. I hope things get easier for you, don’t feel like you have to be happy because everyone and everything around you is.” He replies, earnestly. “Now, fans have been asking and would love to know, What’s your Ideal type?”

Chloe blinks at the question, no matter how hard she tries she looks agitated at the question. She pushes out air through her nose in lieu of a laugh.

“My ideal type is someone who works hard, is tall, strong, and will protect me,” Chloe lists, bouncing her leg anxiously as she thinks over the fan question. She can't stop herself from smiling because she knows where this is going. Cody hums again in response and decides then to attempt to cut to the point of all these previous questions. “So, would you date a fan?”

Chloe shrugs and replies simply. “I mean, fans are just people. Why not?” Cody’s not sure he can agree with that one, but he pretends like he can anyways. He takes a slow breath before proceeding to read off of his script once more, “There’s been some rumours floating around, and I wanted to be the first to ask you about them. Anything about you and a popular fansite you’d like to tell us about?”

Chloe chuckles when he says "popular" quickly going back to a neutral face. She looks at the camera then back at Cody, shaking her head.

“It's been a really hard few months. So, I wasn't making the most wise of decisions but I mean,” Chloe throws her hands out before dropping them on her thighs, “He's a grown man. I'm a grown woman. I don't see the drama in this? Everyone just overreacts at the smallest of things. We went on a date,” Chloe confesses to the camera despite the distressed look on her manager's face from behind the camera. “Like a singular date. Sue me. I think a man my age is cute and want to have a drink with him.” Chloe dismisses with a sigh, leaning back in her chair. “Every idol is dating someone. Get over it.”

Cody snorts. “Little overprotective to be just one date.” Chloe sends him a quick and discreet glare that makes Cody immediately quiet down. “No, you’re right.” The clip comically cuts there and begins to play the final segment.

“To wrap everything up, Is there anything else you’d like to say to the viewers?” He asks, “Or maybe some future plans you want fans to know about?”

“Yeah!” Chloe forms a heart with her hands, beaming at the camera. "Dulce, I love you!” She laughs, blowing a kiss towards the screen.

“Oh! After Venus Victrix wraps up...l'm going to be releasing my first solo album!" Chloe announces with an excited smile, giving a thumbs up to the camera. “There will be a lot of Venus solos so keep an eye out! We're all very excited to share them with you guys!”

Cody cheers eagerly at the news and pumps his fist in the air for exaggeration. “A win for me.”

Chloe laughs at Cody’s gesture and now gives finger hearts, smiling sweetly to the camera with a tilt of her head to look cute.

“Thank you so much for having me! I love talking so thank you for listening! I'll see you all soon!” She blows a kiss to the camera one last time before waving.

“Thank you for watching and supporting Idol Time, See you next time!” Cody finishes, giving the final words of the Episode to Chloe.

“Stream Venus Victrix, Cush by Starzie, and follow me on Instagram at ChloeLee! Thank you! Bye byeee~”

𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲: Chichi and Changbin finally steal their first moment as a couple and decide to celebrate Changbin's birthday much earlier than they should.

"I don't know if this is a good idea..."

July 21st, a very late hour, actually it was already night. The performance at Lollapalooza wore them all out, but they were going to head back to Korea first thing in the morning anyway. Chichi would not miss such an opportunity to spend her birthday with her boyfriend in Paris... even if it will be more than half a month earlier.

Boyfriend... It's been less than six months since she and Changbin entered into a secret relationship that only the rest of Kids knew about. She still couldn't get used to it, yet she felt endless lightness and joy every day because of it. She had always thought that relationships were not for her, since high school she had felt no interest at all toward boys for fear that any of them could be her potential abuser. However, Changbin slowly healed her wounds, covered her scars by making them hide under new, tougher skin. With his help and support, she eventually began to grow and try many new things. The best starts outside your comfort zone," he used to say. Of course, that wouldn't work for everyone, but for her, nothing was scary anymore with him and the other members. Chichi was slowly finally blossoming.

"No one will recognize us in the middle of the night. Do you trust me or not?"

She asked, sitting down next to him on the bed in his hotel room where she had come. He shared it with Seungmin, while she shared hers again with Jeongin, and so it wasn't hard to get rid of them - just bribe them with dinner at a good pub near the hotel.

"I trust you. But what did you plan in the middle of the night?"

"You act as if big cities die at exactly eight o'clock."

She poked him lightly with her elbow, to which Changbin finally "gave in," although in fact he had intended from the very beginning to go with her wherever she wanted to go. So they got up, put on their face masks and went downstairs to the lobby, where the manager was waiting for them. His presence was not to their liking, but it was a necessity to keep them out of trouble. Chichi slipped the manager a phone with the location she wanted to go to so he could "accept" it, and when he did with a quick nod, they could finally get going.

It wasn't far, so they could easily go there on foot. They were all dressed similarly - dark sweatpants, loose sports sweatshirts, Chichi had a baseball cap, and the faces of all three were covered by black masks. They looked like friends walking into town, which according to Ichi should not arouse anyone's suspicions.

Their destination was a small bridge, overlooking the Eiffel Tower. Although it was far away and partially hidden behind one of the buildings, it was still clearly visible because of its lighting. Moreover, there was not a living soul here besides them, so they could enjoy the view of the tower in peace. Changbin and Chichi leaned against the bridge, while the manager politely walked a bit further away to talk on the phone, although his goal was a bit different... The rapper looked at her, slipping his mask over his chin.

"I didn't know you were such a romantic."

"I'm not romantic." She replied immediately, directing her gaze from him to the tower in the distance. "Just... don't you sometimes feel like going out, taking a breath and pretending that time has stopped? That it's just you and... all you have here."

She touched his heart carefully with her index finger, but Changbin put his hand on her palm and stopped it on his body while looking at her seriously. He swallowed, thinking deeply.

"Sometimes yes." He replied finally. "When I feel too overwhelmed I usually try to write songs, or compose. But sometimes there is so much that I feel like my hand can't keep up with my thoughts."

Ichi nodded slightly, looking away from his chest. The glowing Eiffel Tower in the distance now seemed to them a stoic refuge, a symbol of what they crave, what is within reach, but at the same time so unattainable. Why are they standing here, alone on an unknown other small bridge, instead of going under the tower and admiring it to its fullest with other tourists? Because they are famous. Because they are recognizable, someone would immediately take a picture of them, despite their great camouflage. The photo would hit the Internet and the rumor wheel would start spinning becoming unstoppable. After all, it already happened once, when the two went to a restaurant as still friends and were caught by a "kind Internet user." Hanging over them was the possibility of a repeat of that event, which effectively kept them upright. Perhaps too effectively... They were stuck in a glass cage through which everything they could not have could be seen perfectly. Changbin placed a kiss so tender on the top of Chichi's head that if they had been in greener terrain, she would have thought a leaf had fallen on her head. Without a word, she put her arms around his waist and hugged her head to his shoulder.

"I fought for a long time to have what I have now." He began to speak again to break the silence. "And I don't regret anything. Well, maybe one thing... That I really can't get a distance from it all sometimes."

Ichi answered nothing, but he knew she had listened and understood. He put one arm around her and put the palm of his other hand on her head.

Changbin was right, there was nothing to regret, and it wasn't that she did. She was grateful for everything she had received, everything she had and everything she had achieved. But what she was supposed to do, after all, she was still human after all, and sometimes, like now, she was drawn to freedom unbroken by the presence of third parties.

Fortunately, there was no more time to consider such serious topics further, as their manager returned - with a pink cake with candles lit on it. Chichi immediately moved away from Changbin and jumped up to join the manager in singing "Happy Birthday". Changbin only covered his mouth with both hands to at least muffle loud laughter. She wasn't kidding about his birthday! Ichi took the cake in her hands and approached the "birthday boy" with it, who, after a short thought, blew out the candles.

"I made it myself!" She called out immediately with pride, but Changbin raised an eyebrow. "Well, okay, I bought it, but I decorated it myself!" But Changbin didn't fall for that either... She lowered her eyebrows. "Okay, Felix helped me."

She replied resignedly and took two plastic forks from the manager, then handed one to Changbin so they could start eating. The man couldn't stop smiling the whole time.

"I haven't celebrated a birthday that early before." He said.

"I couldn't pass up such an opportunity, I told you." She laughed, then ate a piece of cake from his fork, wiping the corner of her mouth with thumb.

"Nevertheless, I raise an objection." He replied suddenly and Chichi's eyes widened in surprise. "What's a birthday party without dancing?"

"Where am I going to get you-"

But she didn't need to say anything more, as the manager was already playing romantic music from his phone. Ichi rolled her eyes with laughter, already took by Changbin more to the middle of the bridge so they would have more space. He put his hand on her waist and extended the other to the side, and she put one hand in his and the other on his shoulder. Swaying to the rhythm of the music went clumsily between them, but only for a while. They quickly found a common rhythm, gazing into each other's eyes, because after all, what was Paris compared to the mirror of a loved one's soul?

Hold my hand, promise me that everything will be fine. Hold me tight. Next to you, I dream still. Yes, yes, I intend to stay...* resounded from the phone's speaker.

Holding each other's hands, as if in fear of being separated, they were stuck dancing on the bridge. They were stuck in their safe bubble. They were stuck in the moment until the faint first rays of the rising sun greeted them.
