Y/n POV

Humming the tunes of some of my favourite K-pop songs, Taehyung and I set off to see Seoul's beauty. Taehyung hasn't told me yet where are we going now and so I decided to ask him.
"Well, where are we going first??". I asked.
"Actually can you tell me what kind of places you like to visit so that accordingly I can take you to those kind of places.."he said.
"Umm...I like ancient and beautiful architectural places or the kind of places that I have never been to....i like visiting river sides and amusement parks and also not too much of crowded places for sure but I want you to take me to each and every place of Seoul....so you can take me wherever you want to." I replied.
"Ok...I got it and let me tell you that you are at the best place according to your places choices... Seoul has each kind of place you just described now... Don't worry...I will take you to each and every part of Seoul that you will surely fall in love with...hehe!" He said enthusiastically.
"Okie...let's go!!" I said while throwing my fists in air in excitement.

So our first Destination was Gyeongbokgung  Palace. As Taehyung told me it's the main royal palace of the Joseon dynasty. Built in 1395.
The largest of the Five Grand Palaces built by the Joseon dynasty, Gyeongbokgung served as the home of Kings of the Joseon dynasty, the Kings' households, as well as the government of Joseon. There we visited the National Palace museum of Korea and also National Folk museum of Korea. Its ancient beauty and heritage is mesmerizing and we even walked through the garden of the palace with a number of different kinds of blooming flowers spreading their fragrance in the daylight air...it really soothed us and we even clicked so many pictures there...When visiting the Gyeongbokgung Palace, we didn't missed out on observing the Royal Guard Changing Ceremony or the Gwanghwamun Gate Guard-on-Duty Performance. It was really a fun thing to observe and see their performance. Right after the ceremony ended,  we all visitors were offered to don a gatekeeper’s costume at the Sumunjangcheong Building, located behind the Gwanghwamun Gate. We had no reason not to do this cuz the Sumungun (Gatekeeper) Costume Experience is absolutely free! So I and Taehyung decided to try it out and after changing into the costume, I and Taehyung both couldn't have stopped smiling and giggling at each other,... we even asked an old couple to click a few pics of us and they happily agreed....we both made many funny faces and even the old couple was enjoying our antics...after visiting a number of halls and Castels of Gyeongbokgung Palace, we decide to move to our next destination.
We went to Bukchon Hanok Village that is a Korean traditional village in Seoul with a long history located on the top of a hill between Gyeongbok Palace, Changdeok Palace and Jongmyo Royal Shrine. The traditional village is composed of many alleys, hanok and is preserved to show a 600-year-old urban environment. We walked through the beautiful and neat and clean alleys of the village and even rested a bit under the shade of a hut and clicked so many pictures of each other with numerous poses which were most of the time hilarious than decent. After resting a bit we went to a large beautiful hanok that  has been open to the public since 2015, as part of the Seoul Museum of History. It is located in an alley, just on the foot of the hill. There I got to know that one of my favourite Korean dramas i.e "Personal Taste" starring Lee Min Ho was being shooted. I literally jumped on my feet after knowing this Amajin fact and thanked Taehyung for taking me to this wonderful place to which he just laughed and called me a K-drama lover, only if he knew that Lee Min Ho is my favourite K-drama actor.... 
We walked around the whole village and got a stamp at every new destination and at the end we got a keychain as a souvenir. There was also a number of museums and we visited almost all of them...
Later we decided to have some snacks in a local restaurant there which was operated by a middle aged couple and rested there a bit to give some relax to our legs...This ancient village have  very picturesque locations and beautiful architecture that you no longer see in modern-day society and it surely gave a lot of photo opportunities to let ourselves get immersed in its beauty for a long time.
After having a quick snack we went to the atop of a hill from where we were able to see the background of the high rise modern buildings in the distance....from there we finally decided to move to our next stoppage.

We went to Seoul Alive Illusion Museum that is situated in the heart of the Seoul and is the first museum to bring interactive 4D optical illusions to South Korea. There are over 100 exhibits that visitors can witness and experience first hand. We snapped a lot of quirky photos there that were sometimes ghostly and strange and sometimes were otherworldly and weird to be exact.
And The most unique part of this museum was that we created so many  personalised artworks, using our body and facial expressions, with the help of digital technology. I absolutely nabbed the chance to live out my favourite Disney movies through displays showcasing Frozen and Cinderella characters. I felt for a few moments that I myself was a Disney Princess and Taehyung...my prince. I blushed at the thought and mentally slapped myself and when I  turned to look at him...he was already gazing at me lovingly showing me a thumbs up.
I snapped a lots of photos to cherish these very rarely created precious moments forever in my phone.

While exiting the museum, I felt pain in my gladder because I was holding my pee for too long just to not miss any spot of the museum...but now I needed to use washroom very badly so I held onto the hand of Taehyung to stop him from walking and he looked at me with doubtful eyes.
"What happened....why are you clutching your stomach so tightly....is that hurting....huh??..." He said and came to me and placed his hand on top of my hand that was clutching my stomach.
"Umm...no it's just...I need to use restroom...so will you wait for me here?...I will be right back..." I said in a jiffy and ran towards the restroom section of the museum not giving the chance to Taehyung to react.
After I felt relaxed, I came out of the restroom wiping my hands with a tissue paper only to see Taehyung standing there worriedly infront of the ladies restroom's door...
"Taehyung!!..what are you doing here...I had told you to wait for me there only...not here...what others will think huh??!" I said.
"Let it be...are you ok...I think the snack there was not hygienic..." He said.
"No...no...it's not that...it's just I needed to pee...I had been holding it for very long you know..." I said trailing off getting a little embarassed.
"Ooh....I thought something else...it's fine then..." He said sighing in relief.
Was he that worried for me that he literally stood here infront of the ladies toilet to check me??....I felt my cheeks blushing and I turned to look away from his eyes but suddenly I felt something being pushed against my back, probably the door of the restroom and as a result I lost my balance and fell on Taehyung for support but I guess he too didn't got the time to balance himself and we fell together on the floor....with me on top of him and....

.....
Our lips smashed to each other...as our eyes got widened in shock. I felt sparks ran down my spine, leaving me stock-stilled in bewilderment. I heard sound of gasping from behind us and I quickly retreated myself away from Taehyung and stood up looking directly at the culprit....that was a teenage girl who had opened the door without any warning although not to mention but it was our mistake that we were standing right infront of the door and that also facing each other to make the matter worse. I completely forgot about Taehyung as I stood up but then I heard him hiss in pain from behind me and I quickly bent over to him to give him a hand as support to make him stand himself....he groaned in pain holding his back looking at me and then at the girl with very noticeable blush on his cheeks. He blushes a lot....
"mi anhae...mi anhae(sorry)....I didn't knew that someone was at the door..." She apologized.
" Aniyo...Aniyo....gwaenchanh-ayo!!(No...no...It's okay)" I said consoling the girl...she looked dreaded. She soon left us there alone standing and looking at each other with flushes painting our face.
But nonetheless I decided to avoid the topic as I already was feeling overwhelmed and nervous from our very recent close encounter.
"Umm..I think we should leave now Taehyung...let's go to our next destination." I said grabbing his hand and dragging him along with me out from the premises of the museum...

Time Skip

From there, we went to Insadong. It is one main road in Insadong lined with booths, shops, galleries, teahouses and restaurants. We wandered into the alleyways and discovered hidden charms and unexpected gems. Currently, Insadong is home to many art galleries and artisan market shops selling pottery, art, and ceramics made by masters and students. I even bought delicate fine porcelain works here as well as simpler sturdy items designed for everyday use. And the thing that appealed me the most were small street market shops selling art supplies like calligraphy brushes and ink. I like doing calligraphy and had so many calligraphic supplies back at my home in California but later on I left it due to my studies....but then also I decided to buy some of them as I could try it again sometime maybe in Future....
The antique streets in Insadong are full of unique treasures and are a great place to browse for souvenirs. And for sure, I bought some traditional Korean cutlery sets and other artsy goods from there... Taehyung too seemed to be engulfed in the traditional antique shops as he was roaming from one shop to other to buy antique items for his home...and asking for my opinion whether he should buy them or not...
Walking down the alleyways of the Insadong street, we reached to a dimly lit area popularly known as 'Shin Old Tea House'. It is a little bit out of the way of the main attractions of the street and provides a quiet and relaxing spot to enjoy some regional specialties. Our eyes lit up at the sight of a teahouse and we went inside to have a cup of tea. It had a floor seating area just like a traditional Korean house. It was beautifully ornamented with antique homepieces and a had a very heartfelt warmness engulfing the sitting area. We spent sometime there relaxing and talking about some of our childhood memories and even laughed at some of the funny incidents that had took place in my school life. We enjoyed a cup of homemade Jujube Tea and it was marvellously delicious. I forgot the taste of Starbucks as soon as the delicious taste of tea settled on the taste buds of my tongue. I literally slurped at each sip I took from the teacup and this made Taehyung laugh in amusement. I shrugged my shoulders and just continued to enjoy my drink...
Making our way out of the alleys of the Insadong street, we were now walking at a very slow pace on a street surrounded by not too much of high rise buildings and it was less trafficked making it a less noisy street and suitable for walking in the soft cool windy breeze. The cool breezes were hitting my face softly, everytime making my hair locks to come up infront of my face and I had to tuck them behind my ear everytime.
At some point I literally felt annoyed and lastly let the wind to do it's desired mischief with me...moving my head side to side in order to avoid the hair strands from getting into my eyes...then suddenly I bumped into someone's chest and I looked up to see Taehyung towering me and he slowly made his hand's way to my face....

Taehyung POV

A comfy and peaceful silence was surrounding both of us as we both were walking side by side enjoying the gentle gusts of wind hitting our faces. I was enjoying more as my eyes were constantly gazing at a beautiful scenery right infront me and that was none other than Y/n. She was looking effortlessly beautiful and gracious under the sunset winds. I got to know, that she is the most beautiful woman ever I have seen after my Eomma...her impeccable persona and charisma made her even more alluring. She was continuously struggling to keep away her hair locks from her face but was failing miserably everytime. She's cute. Her antics are pleasing and warm to heart everytime she does something like this. At last , she surrendered infront of the winds and left loose her hairs to come up on her face...but it disturbed my way of vision to look at her charming face...so I went infront of her and she bumped into me as she was not looking at her way at the time. She looked up at me with doe eyes which were barely visible due to her hair blocking her face from my sight....my hands involuntarily made their way to her face and tucked her hair strands behind her ear. I took out a hanky from my pocket and used it as a scarf to tie up her hair loosely in a ponytail....still facing her and my hands doing their work behind her head. She was looking at me directly with her big doe eyes with warmness filled in them. I was smitten with her doe hazelnut eyes...my hands slowly went down from her hair to her lower back as i wrapped my arms around her and said...
"You look more beautiful now....extremely beautiful!..." I said and she kept looking into my eyes as if trying to search something in them...but quickly diverted her gaze on hearing a few photo clicking sounds coming from somewhere very near to us and I too looked around to find a couple of just our age snapping our pictures. They noticed us looking at them and the lady said to us...
"You two look so good together...really... literally a real life K-drama couple...so sweet and romantic...hey!...you should learn something from him...see how Romantic he is with his girlfriend...you never do something like that for me..." She complimented us and later gave lecture to his BF and walked away like that. I turned to look at y/n and by now she was already blushing a deep shade of scarlet red gazing down at her foot but what stole my heart away was her intoxicating beaming smile which she was giving to the ground but from the inner of my heart I knew....it was meant for me.

Y/n POV

I didn't had the courage to look up at him as my cheeks were burning with blush and the compliment from the lady made me swoon in daydream... everything seems to be so surreal...what is he doing with me?...I tried to look into his eyes to determine his emotions for me but failed as the couple came in between.
I want to know....why am I feeling like this?...I want to know very badly as slowly it is eating me out from inside and I feel myself not in myself anymore...I feel dizzy and out of my heart beats whenever I am around him. I am afraid....if it's the feeling that I have always tried to avoid my entire life!...

My thoughts were interrupted by Taehyung as he was constantly calling out my name to get my attention.
"Y/n...y/n...come to earth y/n..." He called out.
"Huh,?!!...umm..I..I ..um...yeah" I said stammering not finding words to speak.
"Will you like to have some window shopping??" He said giving me a sweet smile which endeared my heart.
"I would love to...." I agreed.

It may seem like a travel vlog but this is one of the important plot of the story as it will contribute to the beginning of their love story and realisation of their feelings for each other....

Stay tuned....luv you guys....
