I groaned. It took a few seconds for me to gather myself and look at him, dozing off on my left shoulder.

I slightly smiled and grabbed my notebook to list down the monuments and information the tour guide was telling us through the earphone. 

"Dearest tourists, on your right, you will see the Dam Square of Amsterdam one of the most tourist-packed areas of Amsterdam, and for good reason. Its most prominent feature is the 17th-century Royal Palace (Koninklijk Palace), former home of the Dutch royal family and present-day venue for royal functions. Dam Square is also home to top tourist attractions such as the New Church (Nieuwe Kerk); Madame Tussaud's wax museum; and the National Memorial Statue, which is dedicated to Dutch soldiers who lost their lives in World War II..."  the lady from the earphones explained. 

The pen on my hands kept slipping out often due to how cold the weather is which was why my hands felt a little numb.

I sighed.

This is going to be a long, long, long ride.

The tour bus nearly reached our last stop, the Amsterdam Royal Zoo. Zoos are kind of my thing so I was in fact, really hyped. 

I shoved Taehyung away from my shoulders to wake him from his deep slumber. "Yah, wake- up-" I struggled. "Holy crap, how much do you weigh?"

He groaned and fell to the other side of the seat, still half asleep. I laughed hysterically at that. "Why did you wake me up you idiot?" he grunted. 

I raised my eyebrows, "It isn't like we're almost at our last destination?"

"Do you think I care?"

"Suit yourself, because we're gonna leave you on this bus, so.."

"Did you take the notes by the way?" he stares at me. 

I held up my notebook in front of his face and flipped the pages harshly. In total, I wrote about 4 pages of information and my right hand feels numb. 

"Alright, chill out" he grabs my hand and drops the book down. 

Soon after, the bus stopped and it was starting to get colder because it was getting darker. I grabbed my thick white and puffy winter jacket from my backpack and wear it on my body. 

Taehyung did the same, but he brought a black one instead. 

We all went down the bus to observe the places that are located around the zoo. First, the Insectarium, then the Butterfly Pavilion, and lastly, the Planetarium. Me and Jiwon also bought matching headbands with red and blue fluffy butterfly plushie on each side.
