Jennie was patiently waiting for Taehyung to arrive at the train station. The station was quite empty as it was still early in the morning. To her surprise, Taehyung invited Jennie to run away for a day. A day just for themselves. Even though she was reluctant to go but she agreed as she was worried about her boyfriend.

"Jen. let's go somewhere together." Taehyung said on the phone. "Meet me at XX train station in 30 minutes." Before she could say anything he already cut the line.

"Sorry did I make you wait ?"His deep voice startled her and Taehyung couldn't help but chuckle at her reaction.

"Jen. Choose a train and we'll go whenever it takes us." Taehyung pointed at the several trains there.

Jen spins around and pointed at the farthest train at the station. "How about that one ?"

After buying the tickets, Jennie and Taehyung slip at the seat. Jennie looked out the window and admired the view.

As both of them were sitting on the train, which heads towards a mystery destination,

"Let's come up with a rich backstory for those two men sitting up front," Taehyung suggested.

Jennie watched the men for a few moments... the older man turns the page of his newspaper while the younger man keeps his focus on his smartphone.

"I get the feeling they know each other." Jennie assumes.

"I can see that. Maybe they're father and son. It's the tragedy of an estranged family .. so emotionally distant that they can't talk, even when they're sitting right next to each other."

"Or maybe they're so comfortable with each other, they don't have to reinforce the relationship with small talk and chatter ." Jennie interrupted him.

"Maybe. There are two sides to every story.. even those that are invented." Taehyung said agreeing with her.

then what is your story taehyung. why are you being distant again.?

Jennie couldn't help but notice a couple few rows behind them. The man had his arms wrap around him while talking to the lady beside him but the lady puts some distance between them and barely respond to his conversation.

"Who knows maybe this trip for them is trying to bring the sparks back in their relationship. Life is a series of missed and broken connections.." Taehyung stated referring towards the couple.

Finally, the train screeches to a stop. Jennie and Taehyung step off it, taking the sights and sounds of the surrounding town.
"Where are we?" Jennie asked."Let's find out. Come on." Taehyung held her hands. The two of them start walking hand in hand towards the centre of town.

"Come on there's a bike." Taehyung sat on the bike and gesture Jennie to the pegs on the back tire.

With one foot on the pedal, Taehyung jokingly pretends to rev his bicycle.

"Climb on Jen, Siege is a steady ride."

"You named this bike? Really?"Jennie snorted.

"Hey, my bikes got personality. There's life in everything, Jen, you just have to see it.."

Jennie hops onto the back of the bike and wraps her arms around Taehyung. "Okay, this isn't so bad."

"Hang on tight!"

Taehyung turns the corner and heads down a straight road, Jennie leans over and brush her lips against Taehyung's cheek. He starts to blush. "Hey! I'm a little busy here.."
"Oops, sorry not sorry !" She chuckled. "I'll get you back later, just wait and see."
"You know, somehow I don't think I'll mind when you return the favour," Jennie answered back.

They cruised towards an entryway of a forest. Jennie hops off the bike, while Taehyung leans it against a nearby tree. "Do you trust me?" he suddenly asked.
"What kind of question is that? Yeah, I trust you."
"Close your eyes then... I want this to be a surprise."

Jennie shut her eyes and can feel the touch of his warm hands intertwined with hers. She kept her eyes closed as Taehyung leads her through the forest. She can hear the birds chirping, feel tall grasses tickle your legs, and enjoy the sun's warmth.
"Okay, stop... you can look now."

Jennie opens her eyes and see that they were on top of a tall hill sloping down to a green meadow. It extends as far as her eyes can see."Woah."

Taehyung looks down at the long slope, then back at Jennie. He grins mischievously."Let's roll!"

Taehyung hurls himself down the hill, spinning faster and faster. Jennie quickly follows behind. Jennie continue rolling down the slope , coming to a stop at the bottom. She looks over and see that Taehyung landed just a few feet from her."Hahaha, you're lucky I didn't crash into you."

"I'm sure I would have survived." Taehyung inches over her."Hey ... before I forget. I have something for you." Taehyung places a delicate origami flower in your outstretched hand.

"Wow. It's so intricate."
"I was thinking of you when I made it."

"Tae.. will you let me go ?" Taehyung feels his heart sank.
"Jen don't do this to me." Taehyung forcibly hugged Jennie to stop her from running away." I can't breathe without you , I can't leave without you. Please, Jennie." Taehyung didn't even notice but tears was starting to form in his eyes.

"Please don't cry Tae. I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking when I say that.Sorry." Jennie said while kissing the top of his head.

thank god, you're still fighting for me.
