smile!! [yugbam]

exhibit 07

the room had a hole in the floor with actual water filled inside it. inside the pool of water was various painting scratched out in black paint, drowning at the bottom.

the exterior of the room looked like some sort of mysterious, but intriguing forrest, having many plastics trees against the walls. white and yellow dandelions where scattered along the rim of the pool. a mini drink floatie was floating in the water, which was holding a polaroid in it. it was dated 940913.

a tree had a nail and a large piece of paper hanging on it, this being 'journal entry 7'.

these days bambam has felt so uncomfortable being in school. he promised yugyeom to never hang out with him on school campus but word has still got around that the two have become very close.

scarily close...

bambam arrived to school today and he got nothing but death glares from all the students that see him pass by. whispers, angered looks, avoidance... he was put under a spotlight no matter where he went. thankfully, he doesn't really get beaten by anyone like mark or jinyoung.

or at least not yet.

bambam never really liked having eyes on him or pressure from anyone whether it's strangers, friends, family, literally anyone. he gets really nervous, and just hates all the attention. for all his life, he's been nicely in the shadows, just where he wants to be. no one relied on him, no one betrayed him, he was just living with himself, being content and all.

but after being friends with just one person, how is it suddenly that everyone is watching and not just looking, they're all angry and annoyed?

there was still so many questions bambam had in his mind that never get answered.

at the end of the school day, bambam walk gloomily to their secret hideout, feel disappointed about today and how miserable he felt the entire time. he tried to cheer himself up though, thinking about how he's going to spend the rest of the day having fun with yugyeom. he always knows how to cheer him up,

no matter how sucky the day has been.

bambam gets to the bridge with a brighter smile on his face as it always gives him goosebumps standing at the ledge where he first saw yugyeom and took his first photo with his camera.

he'll never forget that feeling.

but as he looked down, his smile instantly disappeared and turned into more of a frown as his eyebrows narrowed sharper. he clenched both of his fists together, seeing that there were people around their special place, but not just loitering around it...

they were crossing out all of yugyeom's paintings.

outraged, bambam stormed down the hill to mark, jinyoung, and another guy all laugh hysterically as they spray painted scribbles across all the paintings and even spelling out 'go to hell' and 'fuck you' on them with the brightest white. bambam stomped in front of them, not thinking of any plan to stop them.

mark tapped the new guy's shoulder. "aww! youngjae look! it's the little crybaby that got his camera broken." he mimicked in a mockery baby voice tone.

youngjae turned around and laughed at the sight of bambam. "oh! is he here to stop us? does he have some sort of god given plan to stop us this time around." he continued to spray the wall. "HA! like you can do better than last time with mark."

bambam tried really hard not to cry. instead of lashing out on them, he decided to try to calm down more. he fell to his knee, and put his hands together. "guys. i don't want violence. this was the only space yugyeom and i had to let loose and be happy. please do not ruin it for me. i..." one tear got out so he quickly wiped his eyes. "i like it here."
