'If forever only existed.'

"Why are you taking so long?" I impatiently waited outside of the bathroom door, waiting for Taehyung to open up so we could go now.

It's now my birthday so I'm excited as hell.

"I was inside for like 15 minutes only." He defended himself once he got out of the bathroom.

"Let's go now, it takes at least 2 hours and 24 minutes to get to Maastricht Hoge Brug." I explained while getting both of our bags.

"You calculated that?" He asked when I gave him his bag.

"I just found it on the internet, get your ass moving now." I replied before pushing him outside the door of our hotel room.

"Woah, chill woman. Don't forget our masks and caps that I bought." Thanks to him, I almost forgot that we're idols. I quickly grabbed our mask and caps on the bedside table before locking our room. The caps that we wear are actually for couples. He loves collecting caps so he also gave me one which I gladly accept.

"Now, let's go." I hurriedly grab his hand before running through the hallway.

I planned to stop running once we got out of the hotel, but Taehyung suddenly ran again, passing through the flock of birds on the ground, making them fly away. I thought a beautiful moment like this can only happen in movies.

"Do you plan to just run until we reach Maastricht?" I asked him, still holding his hand when we stopped on a bench to catch our breath.

"Might as well consider it." He sarcastically answered, making both of us laugh.

We waited for the train to come while our hands intertwined with each other. When the train arrived, we entered and a few married couples with their children are the passengers. He found a seat for us not that far away from the entrance.

"You know, there's a part of me that just wanted to be like a normal person. No masks or anything to disguise. Just like them, happily interacting in public" I whispered so that he's the only one to hear it.

"Me too, but since we're in this kind of world, we just have to wait for the time to come." He explained while leaning his head on my shoulder. "Will you be with me when that time comes?"

"Of course." I said before ruffling his hair.

"We will be reaching Maastricht in a few minutes. Make sure to not leave anything valuable."

Time passed by so quickly that we didn't even notice it's been 2 hours now.

"You hear that? The staff said not to leave anything valuable." He said before removing his head on my shoulder.

"Yeah, what about it? We only have 2 small bags." I stated while eyeing him confusedly.

"You are valuable to me so I can't leave you." He said with his boxy smile judging from his eyes that is smiling like a child.

"The staff clearly said 'Make sure to not leave anything valuable'. It's anything, not anyone. I'm not a thing, Taehyung." I emphasized the word anything to make him understand.
