5:12 PM

An overwhelming feeling filled every fibre of Cassandra's body as she was standing on the glass floor.

Thousand little yellowish and blueish lights sparkling right underneath her feet. Her eyes lighting up. She pressed her palms against the glass in front of her, leaning in. Her breath fogging it. The view amazing her as she felt Taehyung's presence next to her. He stuffed his hands in his pockets, also staring outside. Taking in the view of the nearing sunset above the skyscrapers.
"So?"
She furrowed her brows, taking her eyes from the skyline to look at him. "What?"
"You're on the Tokyo Tower. I thought.." He paused, shrugging. "Are you excited?"
Laughing under her breath, she pushed herself off of the glass. "I am. After all.." She faced Taehyung again with the biggest smile he'd seen on her so far. "This is it! This is where Conan disarmed the bomb. And where the big showdown happened in the thirteenth movie. I know I must sound like a total weeb right now," she laughed, shaking her head and looked out again, "But being here is like reliving those scenes in a way. It's great."
The boy just nodded, redirecting his gaze to the city lights outside as well. At least he could bring her to some of the places she always wanted to visit. That was something.
"I'm happy for you."
Cassandra grinned. "Now I only need to see the Osaka castle where the serial killer burnt one of his victims and the s-" Taehyung's loud laugh cut her off. The girl blinked a few times, surprised, before also breaking into a fit of laughs along with him. "I'm just joking, don't worry."
He shook his head, waving his hands. "Oh, I'm not worried. I find it funny. The way you get so excited," he smiled, looking down to the glass floor. No matter how often he saw this view, it always fascinated him. "It makes me excited, too."
"At least you don't find it weird," she sighed. "And honestly, thank you for coming along with me."
"It's okay. I like those places. And after all I can't let you go alone."
"You could, but then you'd be a jerk."

They grew quiet, observing cars passing by underneath them. Looking like beatles from above.
Cassandra couldn't help but feeling big and small at the same time. Standing there made her feel like an unimportant tiny little thing in this big city. But Taehyung didn't seem to feel that way. At least she couldn't recognise it in his features when peeking at his side profile.
He didn't look serious or pensive. There was rather a calmness, even serenity while his eyes wandered. Getting lost in the sea of cement and lights. A soft smile ghosting over his lips. And Cassandra wondered if she had ever had a similar expression in her life. Sighing, she grabbed her phone out to take a photo of the beautiful view when noticing the time. 
They had another hour left till their next destination.

"So? How was it?"

Taehyung let go of the straw of his drink and glanced at her confused. "How was what?"
Cassandra playfully rolled her eyes at him, before taking a sip from her ice tea. "The exhibition. Did you like Klimt's works?"
"Oh," he chuckled and nodded quickly, "Yeah, yes. I liked them a lot. His paintings are really beautiful. And colourful. I understand why he's one of your favourite artists."
"Really?" She was beaming happily. "I'm glad you like him. I mean, he isn't Dalí but I still like him a lot. And based on your favourite artists I just guessed you'd like him as well. But I wasn't sure when I read about this exhibition so yeah.. thanks for joining me."
He gave her a smile, finding it cute how excited she seemed to be. And he did like the art works. But what he enjoyed more was her talking about them and explaining him everything. He sometimes forgot how much more into art she was than him. Which made sense considering it was her passion while it was more of an interest for him. He could always learn something from her. And her brown eyes got even bigger and her voice was filled with excitement and she would do those big hand gestures while talking. She had been doing them at the exhibition as well. And it was amusing him.
