Pose For Me - Yoongi

Could this place even be classified as a town? He wasn't sure.

As Yoongi walked through the town in the morning hours, it was too serene and calm to really be considered urban in his eyes – though the fact that it was past rush hour and before lunch probably had something to do with that.

But even the air smelt clean. He placed a hand reassuringly on the camera that hung around his neck as he turned his head left and right, taking a few deep breaths as he observed the empty streets around him. He loved it here.

He would definitely be insisting that they stop here next time a tour takes them this way.

Suddenly a group of people exited a building ahead of him and he automatically pulled the mask that had been hanging around his neck over his face to avoid being identified. It seemed almost like that had been unnecessary though, as the group walked past him, chatting amongst each other with loud voices, barely noticing his presence.

He let out a sigh after they'd passed, but he wasn't sure whether it was out of relief or annoyance; on one hand, being ignored was a good thing, but on the other hand, how can a group of people just ignore the presence of another so easily?

It was then that Yoongi spotted a narrow path between two buildings, and beyond it he could hear the sound of running water. The river? Curious, he turned off the main road and descended down the path.

After a short walk, it opened out onto a small trail directly beside the river that encompassed the centre of the town, with the only thing protecting him from falling into the river being a rusty looking railing. Immediately, he pulled his camera up to his face and took a picture of the way the light was shining through the trees and reflecting off the surface of the running water.

He felt peaceful all of a sudden, as though he wasn't in the middle of a very tiring and stressful tour. Is this what it felt like to feel calm and relaxed? He noticed a rock on the ground and looked at it almost longingly; that rock could enjoy this atmosphere as much and as long as it wanted to. He almost envied it.

But the fate of that rock could very easily be changed in an instant when someone walking past decided to pick it up and throw it into the turbulent flow of the river, destroying all hope of the peaceful life it had envisioned.

In a split second decision, he bent down and picked it up, deciding to take the rock as a reminder of the peaceful life they both could have had if fate had been different.

It was in that moment, as he looked at the stone within his hand, that he noticed the faint sound of music coming from somewhere. Turning his head left and right, he realised it was coming a little way from his left; curious, he put the rock in his pocket and followed the sound.

It wasn't long before he appeared on a bit of a ledge jutting out between the river and the bank, where he spotted a girl dancing along happily to the music playing from her speakers. Her dance was interrupted when she turned to face him and she took a few steps back in surprise.

"Gee—You scared me!" she said as she placed her hand over her heart. "How are you even down there?"

"I... Uh, there's a path down here," he stated, as though the knowledge was common sense.

"There is?" she asked, lowering her hand as she made her way over to him. "Huh, so there is," she realised as she leaned over the railing and looked down at the narrow path where he was. "But what are you doing down there? It doesn't look safe. Just come up here."

"I guess you're right," Yoongi chuckled nervously. "I'll have to see if I can remember the way back up."

She stopped him as he was just turning to leave from the way he'd come. "Where are you going? Just climb up here."
