Jisung likes to stay indoors. If you asked him what’s the ideal way of spending his free time during the tour, it would be hanging inside the luxurious hotel room while reading webtoons and eating all the junk foods he bought at the convenience store.
The members would often go out of their way and exhaust all their might to convince him (and Jeno) to go out, have some fun, discover the cities at every stop, and spend money shopping or eating at different restaurants. Sometimes, they’re successful, but tonight is an exemption.
The members convinced Jeno to go out for the night, but Jisung remains firm in his decision to stay inside. This tour is arguably one of the most exhausting phases of his idol life, but he remains grateful. He wouldn’t have it another way. This is just one of his dreams in the past, and he cannot fully believe that he’s experiencing all of this now, together with the six hyungs with whom he spent half of his life.
As he returned to his bed after taking a long refreshing warm bath, continuous knocks from his doors were heard. He lazily went up the door and was surprised to see Mark standing, already dressed as if he’s gonna go out tonight.
“We’re going out tonight. You can’t say no. We’ll do something as a group.” Mark instructed, not letting Jisung talk any minute or show any sign of protest.
Looking at Mark and realizing that he can’t get his way out of this, Jisung answered, “Yes hyung.” and made his way to the bathroom to change his clothes to something decent. Just his usual style of hoodie and beanie.
As they made their way to the lobby, they saw the members waiting for them, and his eyes were automatically fixated on the guy wearing a white shirt inside his leather jacket. The leather jacket that looks so good on that guy, made Jisung think it was custom-made for him.
“Jisungie! Finally.” Haechan made his way out of the group to go to Jisung and attach himself to his arms, making the younger boy blush at the sudden contact.
“Let’s go? We’d be late at our schedule.” The managers said, and they made their way out of the hotel.
“Hi, hyung. How was your day?” Jisung softly asked the guy beside him, as if they were not together earlier and were not attached to each other since the tour started.
“You’re seriously asking me that?” Haechan answered. The two laughed as they both realized how ridiculous the question sounded.
“I was just joking, you know.” Jisung smiled and then there was silence. The two of them took their time appreciating the city’s beauty at night. With their hands still attached to each other, giving warmth to the body amidst the chillness of the night.
“You know it’s not my first time here, but being with you here feels different, I like it more tonight.” Jisung said, which made the older looked at him lovingly.
“Me too. But I am still disappointed that you didn’t join us last night. We could’ve had more time strolling the streets together.” Haechan answered with a disappointing tone, but the look in his eyes showed he was just teasing the younger.
Jisung laughed and decided to close the non-existent space between them while leaning, “Hyung, if only I was feeling well you know that I would join you and please, you literally went straight to my room to spend the night, your stories made me feel that I was there with you the whole time.”
The older blushed at the bold move “Oh shut up.”
“Cut it out lovebirds, we’re here.” Renjun teasingly bumped the two, and the three of them laughed as they made their way to the boat.
They spent most of their time admiring the beauty of Paris at night. The members were happily joking with each other, singing songs, doing challenges and taking pictures of the scenery. Jisung were just looking at them in silence, grateful that he could experience all of this with his hyungs. If you told him years ago that he would be in Paris at night, freezing together with his six hyungs, he would’ve laugh and say that it’s impossible. But it’s here now. It felt surreal but it’s real.
“What are you thinking at?” Haechan quietly sneaks to his side. Hands on both of his pocket as the cold breeze has definitely affected the older.
“Nothing. Just incredibly grateful that I’m here. With all of you. I never though that it would happen.” Jisung quietly answered happiness clearly can be seen in his eyes and that made Haechan’s heart ache. For he knows how much this means to the younger.
“I told you, we won’t leave you alone. I won’t leave you alone.”
“I know.”
The both of them looking fondly at each other and Jisung can’t help but scoot closer and quickly kiss the tip of Haechan’s nose, making the older looking more flushed.
“You’re blushing. It’s cute to see you blush, hyung.” Jisung teasingly told Haechan.
The older one is known as one of the shameless ones in the group and he can only count the times that he can be flustered, that’s why it makes him happy to see a flustered Haechan, and more knowing that it’s because of him.
“No, I’m not. It’s just because I’m cold.” Haechan weakly denies it. His heart was not ready for that move. He knew that the younger was not a big fan of public displays of affection. That even though NCT Dream is known as a clingy group, Jisung is the last one to initiate physical affection.
Jisung smugly answers, “Sure.” proceeding to see Jaemin and Chenle playing with each other. Laughing at their antics. Haechan remained quiet beside him, probably still not over from that bold move.
“Okay, we’ll be having your IG live in five minutes. Please prepare yourselves.” The manager told the dreamies and all of them excitedly positioned themselves.
Haechan felt a warm hand crawling inside his jacket, filling the spaces between his fingers. There he saw Jisung looking away while smiling, and he can’t help but tighten their hold on each other. Pouring all the feelings they have. Feelings that not everyone will be able to decipher and fathom. Feelings that the two of them wil forever relish and protect.
It’s safe to say that the rest of the night and even back at the hotel, Jisung and Haechan were inseparable. Paris definitely took a spot on their list of favorite destination. It’s not because of the Eiffel Tower, It’s not because of the blinding lights but it’s because of how their feelings were solidified on the city of love.
