"At least here, they know when they're getting their next meal?" Jungkook muses, a hint of sadness now apparent in his voice. When he lets himself think too deeply about zoos and aquariums, Jungkook can't help but wonder if there's something about them that lacks deeply compared to the wild. It's hard to know whether or not animals ever have that much awareness, and it's unlikely that they ever carry as much of the romanticism that humans do, but Jungkook knows that some creatures aren't really made for captivity.

"And they're not going to be hunted here, and they don't have to worry about the temperatures of the ocean changing, and... ah," Jungkook sighs, pressing his lips together. It all feels like excuses that are cobbled together, if he's honest with himself. "I guess all we can try to do is make sure they live as happily as they can here, and if they don't like it... hopefully the aquarium lets those ones free, you know. If they're struggling in these tanks."

He pouts, turning to look where Yoongi's chin is perched on his shoulder. "Sorry. I'm being a total downer."
