exhibit 11

to get into this room, there was a wooden dock connecting between exhibit 10 and 11 to walk through. the walls were painted such a beautiful blend of sunset colors, filling the horizon. the ground was painted a realistic body of water, with sparkles, waves, and some creatures swimming along the fake ocean.

at the "land" part at the end of the dock was painted sand, with a treasure chest with a heart lock and two bottles with a message stuck inside of it on the ground. the lock has been unlocked already and inside the treasure chest was previous items seen before: a blue cloth and dandelions, but also some new items. them being a polaroid dated '941117', two matching bracelets, a newspaper article and a broken picture frame. the newspaper article read 'BREAKING NEWS: PAINT BOY NOT WHAT HE SEEMS'. the picture frame has a smudged picture of a family portrait with a ripped corner, cutting out someone.

inside the painted glass bottle was a message that says "r orpv blf". inside the other glass bottle was the next journal entry.

bambam looks at himself in the bathroom mirror, making sure he was presentable to leave the house. the time has finally come around. the anxiety was killing him so badly. he doesn't know why he's getting nervous to meet up with yugyeom. it frustrates him to death that he was so afraid.

he fluffed up his hair one last time, making sure every strand of hair was in place. he sighed, clenching his fist tightly. come on. you're probably overthinking this. what kind of thing is he going to say that will make me feel like i'm going to completely explode? just, calm down, and everything will be fine. he walked over to his room and stared at his teddy kyum laying peacefully on his bed. he rushed over and squeezed the bear closely to his face one last time before putting on 'his' shoes and walking out to the ocean by the boardwalk.

he stared down at his shoes the entire time while heading towards the destination. it made his heart beat faster just thinking about how pretty yugyeom will look next to the sunset of the sky reflecting off into the water waves. what's... what's happening to me? he shook off his thoughts, finding them rather odd they made his heart pound so much.

eventually, he gets there, standing on the shore, sand under his toes. in the very distance, he could see a small figure standing on a dock far away. he could already tell who it was from all the way over there.

*click*. bambam took a picture before heading off.

bambam walked up the steps to the dock. where he was standing at the end of it. his footsteps made a creaking noise against the wood. bambam coughed to find his voice. "i'm here." he squeaked out.

yugyeom put something in his pocket before taking a deep breath, realizing what he was about to spill out. it felt unreal, but relieving this day has finally come. yugyeom turned around, eyes immediately fixated on the boy, looking as beautiful as ever with the painted rainbow sky shining with his skin complementary. without hesitation, he immediately ran up to bambam, holding onto both of his cheeks with his hands and gave him the softest kiss on the forehead, like he did the day of the dance. bambam felt completely surprised by his gesture. yugyeom took his lips off of him, but not his hands. "did you like that?"

their faces were awfully close together. bambam could see every small detail on his face up closely. he could feel the warmth of his hands start to linger onto his cheeks. "yea." he croaked while nodding his head.

"let me rephrase that: did you like it when i, me specifically, do it to you?" he looked him straight into his eyes.

before, bambam thought no matter what, the feeling of a kiss.... it would feel good no matter on a person. but he started to think about his kiss with mina, and how it didn't feel good at all. "i guess? why are you asking this?" he spoke gently.
