Chapter 5

"Ah, really?" Yoongi had to try and keep his voice from sounding unsteady.

Jimin simply nodded in reply, offering a smile. "Do you have any specific plans? Are you meeting with someone?" He questioned, looking intently into Yoongi's eyes.

Yoongi cleared his throat and broke eye contact before shaking his head. "I was just going to find something to do when I got there. I haven't gone to the city much, so I haven't really explored it."

"Mind if I tag along?"

"Huh?"

"I like adventures, and an adventure with you seems like it would be fun. You seem like an exceptional person." Jimin laughed. "Maybe I can get you to talk more."

Just the thought of having a cute stranger accompany him was nerve-wracking enough, but especially since it was one as open and candid as Jimin made his position even worse. The older wondered how Jimin could be so damn straightforward. Yoongi was often afraid to share his opinion or speak up about something since he had many bad experiences after doing so. It's not that he was a cold person who didn't talk much, in fact he longed for conversations, he just wasn't too comfortable with people since he was so concerned about messing something up. That's why it was always much easier for him to get along with people who actually tried and wanted to befriend him, such as Hoseok and Taehyung. An effortless connection between the three had obviously grown.

Yoongi hadn't noticed Jimin waiting for his reply, so he quickly let out a small, "oh" before nodding his head. Of course, he wouldn't be able to decline. "Feel free to do so, I don't mind." It was true, he didn't mind, but that didn't make the situation any less daunting.

"Just think of me as a tour guide of some sort." Jimin grinned. "I'll take you around to all the hot spots, not just the normal sightseeing places, but ones not so well-known on the map also."

"You know the city pretty well then?"

"Of course, I practically live there." He stated matter of factly.

"I guess I'm in good hands."

"You are." The younger held his hands up, laughing once again.

"You're not planning on leading me into some dark alleyway and killing me now, are you?" He joked, trying to make himself seem less tense, though he found it really easy to talk to Jimin. Yoongi just needed to take a breath and build up just a tiny bit more confidence. If he set his mind to it, it would become a lot easier. It felt like he was going through the whole Hoseok and Taehyung thing again.

"If I did that, who would keep me company?"

"You're smooth with your words, I'm sure you'd be able to find your next victim in the span of five minutes."

"But no one I find would be like you." He shrugged nonchalantly.

"What's so good about me?" He dared, raising an eyebrow to see what Jimin could possibly come up with.

"I'm not sure yet. But I know for a fact there's something." He paused. Yoongi wondered if that was a compliment or not. "Oh, this is our stop." Jimin said once the train began coming to a halt.

"No, there's still five more to go–" At least, that's what Tae and Hoseok told him.

"Not anymore, I'm your tour guide remember?"

"But–"

"It's just a little more walking, I want to take you somewhere." The doors opened and they both filed out, making their way to the stairs to get back above ground.

"Where?"

"You'll find out when we get there. It's right around the corner."

"It's usually much farther when people say that."

"Stop whining, if you're like that you'll miss out on so many amazing things."

He wasn't lying, it actually was right around the corner. But blocks in the city are much larger.

When they arrived to where the younger wanted to take him, Yoongi laughed. "You wanted to bring me to another set of stairs?" It was a staircase in the middle of the sidewalk leading up to a walkway above all the streets and in between buildings.

"No, I'm bring you to what the stairs lead to." Jimin rolled his eyes and began going up, pausing halfway to make sure Yoongi was following after him, which he was- slowly.

"Is this some kind of bridge?"

"In a way...? You're impatient, aren't you? Noted."

When the two got to the top, Jimin smiled widely and stopped to watch Yoongi's reaction. In front of them was one of the most beautiful views Yoongi had ever seen and something he thought professional photographers would definitely stop to take a picture of. He felt his hand slipping into his bag and pulling out his own camera to imitate such people. Yoongi liked to take pictures, it was another hobby of his. He'd never make a career out of it, but he enjoyed it enough to buy an expensive, high quality camera.

"So you're a photographer?" Jimin asked, staring at him intently, his gaze falling down to Yoongi's hands.

"No, I just like taking pictures." He held the camera up and tried to get in the perfect position, adjusting the focus of the lensand quickly snapping the scene a couple times, smiling a small smile. "It really is a beautiful site."

It was an overlook on part of the city including the tops of buildings, the streets, the signs, the people, the culture, and basically represented everything the city had to offer. At least, that's the way Yoongi looked at it.

"It's so full of life. I love it." Jimin replied. That's when Yoongi started to look around the rest of the walkway. He saw scattered gardens across the lane, benches every so often and sculptures on display going on for what seemed like forever to both to his left and right.

"What is this place?" He asked again, sure he was going to get an answer this time around.

"It's called the Skywalk. It was built by the community from donations made by locals. It's pretty popular, but not so popular that everyone knows about it. I come here a lot, to think or to sing or to just talk."

"You're a very open person, you know?"

"I am. Does that bother you?"

"No, not really. It's actually pretty helpful, in my case." They both stayed quiet for a moment.

"C'mon, there's a lot more things for you to take pictures of." Jimin said, motioning Yoongi to follow him.
