HYUNJIN...

Hyunjin was your boyfriend—not the smartest, but far from the worst option. In short, he suited you perfectly. For your birthday, Hwan gave you a week at a luxury resort: clear ocean, white sand, warm sun. Hyunjin had taken this a bit too seriously: he'd bought plane tickets, booked a villa in advance, and planned out activities for the entire vacation. Everything was going well, almost too well, not as usual. But you consoled yourself with the thought that he'd finally matured and started taking on more responsibility. And indeed, you arrived without a hitch, checked in smoothly, and everything went so smoothly that you were beginning to believe this vacation would go off without a hitch. Every day of your vacation went like clockwork, you spent a lot of time together, walked along the beach, swam, and laughed a lot. It seemed like nothing could stand in the way of your happiness, but it turned out it could. In the last few days, you were already preparing for your return home. You knew Hwang was responsible for the tickets, so you weren't particularly worried about the return flight. Already on the plane, you fell asleep from the heavy workload and rush of emotions from the entire vacation, but the sleep was so sweet that you didn't want to wake up, so when you had to start preparing for landing, you were in a slightly fuzzy state and couldn't fully comprehend what was happening, leaving it to Hyunjin At the airport, Hyunjin quickly called a taxi. Still half-asleep, you collapsed into the seat, hoping to finish your interrupted dream on the way home. But the drive seemed suspiciously long. At some point, you realized you were seeing unfamiliar Seoul neighborhoods flashing by outside the window. The taxi finally stopped. You lazily opened the door and stepped out. This isn't your yard. This isn't your neighborhood. This isn't Seoul at all. Turning your head to the side, you saw... the Eiffel Tower. You turned sharply to Hyunjin, your eyes wide.

"Hyunjin, where are we?" you breathed out, looking at his beaming face.

— With the Eiffel Tower in the background!
