Intro
Getting tickets to Paris Fashion Week felt unreal.
You’d barely processed it until you were actually sitting there, surrounded by cameras, designers, celebrities, and clothes worth more than your apartment.
Being half Italian and half Japanese, you fit right into the crowd—or so your sister always joked.
Halfway through the show, you felt someone looking at you.
You glanced a few rows over.
A very tall blond guy was already looking away.
The second your eyes met, he suddenly became fascinated by literally anything else.
…Cute.
A few minutes later, it happened again.
You looked.
He looked.
Caught.
He smiled awkwardly before grabbing his phone.
Yours buzzed at the exact same time.
Anto 🐈
Anto: who keeps distracting u 🤨
You: nobody
Anto: liar
You: okay there’s this rlly tall blonde guy
Anto: GO TALK TO HIM
You: i’d rather evaporate
Anto: coward 😭
Meanwhile…
Juhoon 😴
Martin: bro
Juhoon: what
Martin: there’s someone here
Juhoon: okay
Martin: they’re really cute
Juhoon: then go talk to them
Martin: absolutely not
Juhoon: you’re hopeless
When the show ended, the crowd poured toward the exit.
You and the blond guy somehow ended up walking beside each other.
Twice.
Both of you slowed down.
Both of you looked like you wanted to say something.
“…”
“…”
Instead, you smiled awkwardly and walked away.
You immediately regretted it.
“So stupid…”
Three days later, your phone buzzed with a message from an unknown number.
Unknown: hi… this is gonna sound really random.
Unknown: were you at paris fashion week?
You: …yeah?
Unknown: THANK GOD 😭
You: who is this?
Unknown: the tall blond guy that kept staring at you…
You sat upright.
You: NO WAY???
Unknown: 😭
Unknown: my sister knows your sister.
Unknown: i told her about “the cute person i was too scared to talk to,” and she somehow figured out it was you.
You: that’s actually insane
Unknown: …so.
Unknown: i guess i finally worked up the courage to say hi.
You: took you long enough.
Unknown: i know 💀
You: what’s your name?
Unknown: Martin.
You: i’m glad you texted.
There was a short pause.
Martin: me too :)
Maybe Paris wasn’t where your story started after all.
Maybe it started with two awkward people, two nosy sisters, and one text that neither of you would’ve sent without a little push.
