Honeymoon Journey ♡
"Are you ready for today's adventure, baby?" Jay asked Meinny, who was lightly applying powder to her face.
Meinny turned towards her husband, smiling as she replied, "Of course, hubby. I’m so excited for our first adventure here today." Her voice was full of enthusiasm.
After that, the beautiful girl stood up from the mirror and took her husband's strong arm.
"Let’s go now, I can’t wait!" Meinny said, her smile as bright as ever.
"Wait a minute..." Jay said, then kissed his wife's sweet lips passionately, causing the lipstick she had put on to smudge.
Meinny, who had been smiling widely, puckered her lips and shot him an annoyed look.
"Ugh... why do you have to kiss me like that? I spent so long making myself look nice, and you just ruined it," she said, pouting.
"Hehehe... don’t try to look too beautiful, baby. Too many eyes will be staring at you hungrily. Besides, your lipstick was too bright, I just helped tone it down a little," Jay replied, chuckling lightly, not feeling guilty at all.
"Ugh... you’re so annoying," Meinny said, then pulled her hand from Jay’s and walked toward their bed.
Jay quickly chased after her and hugged her to calm her down.
"Sorry, baby. I just don’t like it when other guys stare at my perfect girl," Jay said, trying to soothe his upset wife.
Meinny, who had been frustrated at first, turned to face her husband and saw the sincerity in his eyes. Slowly, she smiled again.
"Ugh... you really know how to make me forget my anger," Meinny said, looking at him affectionately. "But, you’re right. I just wanted to look beautiful for you."
Jay grinned widely, then lovingly stroked Meinny’s hair. "You’ve been beautiful since the first time I saw you, baby. You don’t need makeup for me."
Meinny laughed softly, feeling calmer after hearing Jay’s words. "I know, but I still want to look perfect for you."
"Alright, alright, let's go before we run out of time," Jay said, his smile full of excitement.
With their hands intertwined, they walked out of the hotel, ready to start their day full of adventure.
Jay and Meinny arrived at the Château de Versailles, mesmerized by the grandeur of the palace and its expansive gardens. They walked side by side through hallways adorned with historical paintings and sculptures, while a gentle breeze blew around them. "This feels like a fairy tale," Meinny said, her eyes sparkling as she took in the beauty around her. They spent hours inside the palace, admiring the luxurious bedrooms of the king and queen.
Outside, the vast gardens of Versailles greeted them with stunning views. They walked along paths lined with tall trees, enjoying the sight of blooming flowers. Jay held Meinny’s hand tightly, savoring the peace that could only be found in this place. The couple enjoyed a romantic picnic by the pond before finally renting a boat to row along the Grand Canal. As the sun began to set, they shared laughter, enjoying the beauty of each other’s company.

Day three in Paris
That morning, after enjoying breakfast at the hotel, Jay and Meinny began their day with a walk to Luxembourg Gardens. Paris in the morning gave a different sensation—the fresh air that was invigorating and the soft sunlight streaming through the trees. As they entered the garden, the sound of birds chirping greeted them, adding to the peaceful atmosphere.
Luxembourg Gardens was the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. Meinny, still enchanted by the beauty of the garden, stopped by a large pond in the center of the park. There, children played with small boats, following the calm water’s flow. "I can’t wait to have memories like this with our future child," Meinny said with a sweet smile, her eyes shining as she watched the joyful children.
Jay chuckled softly. "I’m sure we’ll create even more beautiful memories together, baby," he said. They continued walking, exploring quieter parts of the garden, where historic statues and tall trees created an intimate atmosphere. Every corner of the garden seemed to tell a story, inviting them to take their time in such a peaceful place.
They finally stopped at a bench facing a blooming rose garden. There, they sat together, enjoying a hot cup of coffee from a small café by the edge of the park. Meinny gazed at the clear blue sky while Jay observed their surroundings with curiosity. "This garden really brings tranquility, doesn’t it?" Meinny said, her voice soft.
"It does. Time seems to move so slowly here. It’s like we’re in another world," Jay replied. He wrapped his arm around Meinny’s shoulder and held her close, relishing their quiet closeness.
After some time, they continued their journey through the park’s paths, surrounded by tall trees. Jay suggested they visit a few small art galleries hidden around the garden. They entered one of the galleries, where classic art and beautiful paintings adorned the walls. Meinny was captivated by the artwork and stopped several times to admire them. "I’m so happy I can share this with you, hubby. Paris truly is an amazing place."
They continued to a quieter corner of the garden, where a small waterfall flowed and colorful flowers bloomed beautifully. There, they sat for a while to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere, talking about their future together. "I want to spend more time like this, just strolling through beautiful places, only with you, baby," Jay said, holding his wife’s hand.
"Me too," Meinny replied briefly but with hope in her voice.
As the sun began to set, they walked back toward the entrance of the garden, but neither of them was ready to leave the beauty behind. Jay decided to take Meinny to a restaurant not far from the garden, known for its traditional French cuisine. The elegant atmosphere of the restaurant, with candlelight on the table, made the evening even more romantic. They shared laughter and stories, enjoying delicious dishes and tasting red wine from the Bordeaux region.
That night, after a dinner full of shared moments, they strolled around the area near Luxembourg Gardens. The streetlights glowing in the night added an intimate and romantic feel. They stopped at a small café to enjoy a cup of tea before heading back to the hotel. Meinny rested her head on Jay’s shoulder, feeling incredibly lucky to be spending time with her husband in a city filled with history and beauty.
"This is the perfect night," Meinny said, her eyes sparkling.
Jay smiled and answered, "There will be more perfection as long as we stay together, baby."
----------------------------
Two weeks had passed quickly, and soon, Jay and Meinny would be heading back to Korea to continue their work that had been left behind. Before they left, they made sure to visit Pont Des Arts, their last stop in Paris before their departure.
That morning, after enjoying a hearty breakfast, Jay and Meinny began their day with renewed energy, following several days full of wonderful adventures. They decided to explore one of Paris’s most iconic bridges: Pont des Arts. This bridge is known as a symbol of love, as many couples attach love locks to the bridge’s railings as a sign of eternal bonds.
Upon arriving, they were immediately greeted by a breathtaking view. From the bridge, they could see the calm flow of the Seine River, dotted with boats gliding slowly over its sparkling surface.
The atmosphere around the bridge that morning was calm, only the sound of footsteps from passersby and the gentle ripple of the river filling the air.
Pont des Arts was a place steeped in history, and its romantic ambiance provided peace to anyone who visited.
Meinny walked slowly, her hand firmly holding Jay’s, and they both savored this peaceful moment. They stopped in the middle of the bridge to admire the stunning view of Paris laid out before them. Not only was the Eiffel Tower visible in the distance, but also the rooftops of classic-style buildings spread across the city, creating a breathtaking panorama.
Approaching the bridge’s railing, covered with love locks, they noticed many couples had engraved their names on locks, marking their strong connections.
Jay and Meinny looked at each other, each feeling the meaning behind this tradition.
"Will you make a promise with me here, baby?" Jay asked gently, his eyes filled with hope.
"What promise?" Meinny replied, gazing at him lovingly.
Jay smiled and looked into her eyes with sincerity. "A promise to always walk together, just like we are walking on this bridge, facing all of life’s challenges together."
Meinny squeezed his hand, smiling sweetly. "I promise, hubby. I will always walk with you."
They approached the railing covered with love locks once more, where many couples had engraved their names. Jay and Meinny shared a quiet look, each feeling the weight of the tradition. They decided to place their own love lock, adding another beautiful memory to their journey. After locking it to the bridge, they threw the key into the river, symbolizing an inseparable promise.
"This is a sign that we will never be separated," Meinny said softly, though there was a touch of emotion in her voice.
Jay nodded, his lips curving into a smile. "No one can break us apart."
Afterward, they continued their walk along the banks of the Seine, enjoying the fresh air and the beautiful scenery surrounding them. Along the way, there were many small cafés offering coffee and croissants. The relaxed morning atmosphere by the river gave them a chance to share their thoughts without any rush.
Not far from the bridge, they found several small art galleries showcasing impressive paintings and sculptures. The beauty of the artwork provided them with a moment to reflect and enjoy the unique artistic qualities of Paris.
After a few hours of appreciating art and the beauty of the city, they began to feel hungry. Jay took Meinny’s hand and led her to a small restaurant by the river for lunch. Sharing a meal with such a stunning view brought them even closer together.
"Having lunch like this, in a peaceful and romantic place, just makes me feel even closer to you," Meinny said, looking at Jay with affectionate eyes.
Jay smiled gently, gazing at her attentively. "I feel the same way, baby. Every moment we spend here together will always stay with me."
As the sun began to set, they walked back to the hotel, hands still tightly intertwined. They enjoyed the beauty of the city as it slowly transformed into a display of twinkling lights, giving the streets a magical feel. In the end, they felt fulfilled by a journey that not only brought them to beautiful places but also deepened their love and togetherness.
"Thank you for making every moment here so meaningful," Jay said, his voice warm with affection.
Meinny smiled at him. "We still have so many moments to enjoy, hubby."
That night, they both fell asleep with hearts full of happiness. Their days in Paris had added countless beautiful memories to their journey, carving out a love story that would always be cherished.
