September 23th - Saturday
'Taehyung slow down, I sprained my ankle yesterday, remember? I told you on the phone.'

'That's just one of your stupid excuses for your slowness. I know you have the pace of a dead snail.' Taehyung said while laughing and dragging the younger with him to the centrum of Paris.

'Okay so firstly, I really did sprain my ankle and secondly, Paris.. is a word meant for the walker alone, for only the pace of strolling can take all the rich detail.' Jungkook said.

'Ahhh, there's the poet I know. I thought he disappeared!' Taehyung retorted with a happy smile. He was still dragging Jungkook with him. The younger found it cute how the redhead was hopping around the streets.

'Why are you so happy today?'

'Because it's finally my turn to take you somewhere!' The elder retorted with an even wider smile.

'And where are we going?' Jungkook asked. He too was laughing now. Taehyung's mood had lifted him up, but it always does.

'I'm not telling you yet dummy.'

The two boys had met 10 minutes ago at the entrance of the Eiffel Tower. It had somewhat became their hang out spot or at least the place they'd meet everytime. But Taehyung had other plans this time. He wanted to show the younger a very special place, a place that was not accessible for the normal tourist. You had to earn your right to be there, you had to be an artist of some sorts.

As the two boys were meandering through a lot of little streets and crossed a few squares, they never let go of eachothers hands.

Jungkook was falling. Falling for the boy who's hand was intertwined with his. Was it to soon? Probably yes. But did he care, hell no. He deserved to be happy, just like Taehyung. The elder deserved someone who gave him motivation to stop smoking. They both deserved to be happy for once.

After they turned around a big corner the place Taehyung wanted to show came in frame. The narrow street with a dead end was full of painting, photography, writings and more. It was absolutely stunning. The street had some of sort special, colourful charm to it.

'Woah... what is this place?' Jungkook asked.

'I come here to think, talk, photograph and sometimes to smoke.'

'You should stop smoking.'

'I'm trying.' Taehyung said.

Taehyung tried to change the subject by speaking up again. 'Look there.' He said while pointing at some of the photographs.
'Some of those photo's are mine. All the artists around here get to hang them up for free.' The elder said.

'It's like graffiti but different.' Jungkook remarked. This street was the epitome of what heaven would look like. But like the cool side of heaven. The younger already loved all of it.

Taehyung showed him some more of his works with also all the explanations behind them. Until an unknown man, at least for Jungkook, spoke up.

'Hey Taehyung! Can I have one of your cigarettes, my wallet is empty.' The random man said.

'Yeah sure.' Taehyung said whilst pulling out a cigarette for the man.
