It's outside, past mid day, and you're walking down the street of a makeshift market of down town Busan... As you keep walking you hear the many conversations of people passing by.

The people traversing and conversing; you just breathing it all in... Listening in, you overheard by some one among the crowd, there is going to be a live performer... a special guest, just up head around noon, so to pass time, you thought to go and buy yourself a water. Though the line was long, you didn't mind the wait, but you also anticipated to see if the statement was true.

As you exit the space, you hear the faint sound of claps and cheering emitting from the distance... As the claps die down you hear a faint guitar start to be plucked in a sort of harmonious tone... some notes were off key and the sharp sound of fingers gliding across the strings make it's way to you ear... It was a nice tune none the less, and the voice coming after it was the voice of an angel... You didn't bother the fact that you couldn't see the face... You had this message of promise emitting from just a simple song... and that message made your heart pump with serenity in these bustling streets... the voice didn't need a face to hypnotize you.

"I want you be your light, babe"

"You should be your light"

You walked towards the source of the music... you went blank and tuned out the outside noise, and just let you heart follow the symphonic tune of this angelic voice and the somewhat offly played guitar

"I want you to be your night, babe"

"You could be your night"

...

The song was nearing to a close end as you arrived, and as the last string of the guitar was plucked the angelic voice stopped it's heavenly hymn accompanying it...

You made your way through a small crowd of street people... And as you look up, there sat a man with a guitar... He was a smaller man in stature, he had pink/purple hair that almost looked like silk in the sun, he had a gorgeous smile that could light up the city itself... you came to a realization... that there was heaven on earth the second you look up.

The crowd went up in a cheer as he looked up towards them...

"Hi Busan, I'm Park Jimin! Thank you for welcoming me back home and thank you all so much for coming today! That was a new song called 'Promise' I've been working on lately... I hope you enjoyed it!" He smiled generously; an eyes closed smile, with pearly white teeth exposed... a genuine face full of happiness and peace... the sun illuminating his heavenly features, making him shine. The crowd seemed to just enjoy his presence, some fans screaming his name and some other nonsense you bother to listen to...

"Promise..." you said lightly to yourself

As he exited the stage the crowd gave one last round of applause and cheers, and you stood there in awe.

You walk off once again down the narrowing, chaotic streets of Busan, still humming the same heavenly tune to yourself,

smiling as you say to yourself...



"i want you to be your light-"
