You were pretty satisfied that your day had ended with you putting a name to that stranger's face. You thought that you wouldn't even get some shut eye (with the exception of jetlag) because you would keep on thinking about what his name would be.
Taehyung.
Ever since you told each other your names, they pretty much rolled off the tongue. After dinner you really had nothing left to do except enjoy the Barcelona night sky. Taehyung talked you through the evening. He told you how he got into art and why he loves it so much. From his story, you clearly tell that it was something he was passionate about. It basically ran through his entire body.
But just when I thought that nothing could beat his love for the painting, Taehyung couldn't help himself as he told you about his friends back home. He even took the time to pull out a photo of them that he had on his wallet to show you. With the way he smiled while he told you all of his favorite memories of them together, it was clear that he really valued them.
Of course, you had to share stories as well. It would be really unfair on his part if he did all the talking.
So you told him how legal management wasn't even your first choice. You've wanted to take up photography as your major. But remembering how you felt like you had to repay your parents for everything that they had done, you decided to take up a pre-law course so you can follow in the footsteps of your father. You had to admit that you didn't enjoy it at first but you grew to love it. The idea of switching majors still pops up once in a while but you've always told yourself that you could still do photography even with a PhD.
Taehyung finally understood all those sad smiles everytime that topic was brought about. Sure, he felt sorry for her and wanted to tell her to switch if photography was what made her truly happy but he decided that he shouldn't. He wanted to respect your decision, knowing that he didn't have control over her life.
His words still rang in your head after you told him your story.
"You shouldn't do things to make other people proud. You have to make yourself proud"
Taehyung walked you back to your hotel which was only a few blocks away from his. Before saying good night and "see you again" , he promised to wait for you outside of your hotel tomorrow at 10:30AM so the both of you could go to the Ciutadella Park together.
It was silly how quickly you had trusted this man to join you while you toured around the city but that was nearly impossible not to do with his charming personality.
Taehyung couldn't believe it himself that he was able to build a friendship (if that's what you called it) through this trip. It's usually just him travelling alone or travelling with friends but never with a woman he just found out the name of.
And so the night goes. Neither of them could sleep properly because of jetlag. You also had to remind yourself to update your parents because they might be going crazy at this point. Of course, you didn't tell them about Taehyung. They would flip. You thought that it'd be better if you kept this to the both of you.
