You were lucky to get a great hotel at the heart of the Gothic Quarter, located just near the cathedral. It was summer and a lot of families were on vacation so you worried whether you'd be getting a good place to stay in without having to pull out any more money than you've already had. Luckily for you, one of the hotels with good reviews that offers a cheap price had a room fitted enough for your liking and budget.
After setting down your things in the room you are staying at, you decided to give the place a tour. The walls were painted white and they were accented with wood to fit the classy mood. There was a huge sliding window that connects the room and a small balcony that gives you a great view of the skyline. The room was small so there really wasn't much to look at. It was your typical summer hotel room but you couldn't complain. You were just glad you got here. You decided to go outside and take a look at the whole building before you decide to tour Barcelona. Grabbing your camera, you headed outside on the way to their lobby.
It was crowded, a lot of families were already here. Some were lounging on the couch and the children were running around. The staff was busy but they still accommodated their guests well. You decided to ask them for more inclusions and fair enough, you were pretty satisfied. They served a breakfast buffet and a rooftop pool. Although most hotels have that now, you still couldn't hide your smile.
It was time that you decided to go tour around Barcelona starting with the cathedral that was a few blocks from my accommodation. A lot of mouths have said that the Barcelona Cathedral was beautiful and you couldn't deny it. With its gothic architecture and tall structures, it was no doubt a sight to see.
You quickly took out your camera and started snapping pictures. Growing up loving the arts, you have always appreciated these kinds of things. The way the building was structured had you at awe. Photos wouldn't capture its beauty. You decided to go closer when you heard a deep voice behind you.
"Excuse me, could I take a picture?" You turned around, surprised by the voice, but what surprised you more was who owned it.
It was him. The kind stranger that sat beside you on the plane. He was holding his camera that was hanging from his neck. He gave you a smile once again and a wave of his hand as if to say hello. "Either this is a coincidence or fate just wants us together".
"What are you doing here?" You asked with surprise and confusion written on your face. "I mean, I did tell you I'm here on vacation right?" Taehyung said as if it was obvious.
Of course why would I ask that.
"I'm sorry I scared you." He apologized while giving a worried smile. "No don't worry, you just surprised me, that's all"
It really was a surprise. Even Taehyung questioned whether it was her or not. The girl from the plane ride that he had to save from the sleepy old man. He just got to the cathedral when he saw her standing in the middle with her eye looking through her camera. He didn't believe it at first but after getting a good look, he knew it was her. Something came over him, and told him to approach her — which he did.
Then it felt awkward. There were a number of people around but the silence between the two of you was deafening. To avoid the atmosphere you decided to just look through the photos on your camera. Until he spoke again. "Do you want to check the inside?". Without hesitation, you nodded your head since that was what you were planning to do before he arrived.
And so your feet led you inside the infamous gothic church. The stranger was standing beside you making it seem like the both of you arrived at the tourist spot as a pair on purpose. People who don't know anything about your situation would think that the both of you are on this trip are together (not that you would want people to think that).
It's either he must really respect your space or he was just as fascinated as you as he decided to not hold a conversation after entering the wide doors. Taehyung quickly took notice of the fact that you took your time to admire the interior of the cathedral. After looking at the beautiful ceiling he side glanced at your amazed expression and involuntarily let out a small smile that even he wasn't aware of.
