It's impossible not to feel like a kid himself, leaning carefully against the side of the pool, watching for the rays to approach. When one gets close enough, Yoongi reaches out tentatively, running his palm along its back. He draws his hand back for an instant, laughing. "Slimy?" he says, touching it again. It doesn't seem to mind, like the guide said, lingering close enough that he can stroke its back. "Rubbery. But kind of rough, too? Try it."

The way it moves, almost like it's flying in water, is enthralling to Yoongi, and he watches it for a moment more before looking to Jungkook, trying to take in his reaction in turn. As exciting as the experience is, part of the thrill is getting to share it with the person he loves most. The stingrays must be used to all the attention, he figures, since this one seems in no hurry to move on.
