Aeri was bored.
That's why it was no surprise that she finds herself perched on one of the artist stools in the Arts & Crafts Center of Camp Half-blood. It happened so that one of the Athena kids were holding a workshop today and when Aeri stopped by to check, she was already pulled in to participate.
Aeri was bored so it didn't matter if she was sitting in some sudden workshop because all of her projects had been going smoothly since yesterday— well, except for the fact that she thinks her binoculars potential meter wasn't working anymore.
Nonetheless, she wanted to take this day off (just like what Jaemin had advised her) to rest and do something else for a change, and what else to do other than arts and crafts.
As Aeri patiently waits for their instructor to begin, she notices the black-haired boy who frantically takes a seat beside her. It seemed as if he thought he was late and was hurrying to get to the Center fast. When the boy finally faces forward, Aeri recognizes him as Yushi—that boy Sion always hangs out with.
"I thought I was late." Yushi said, facing his left where a Hephaestus kid sat fiddling with one of the brushes.
"Nope. You're just in time."
"Alright! Today's workshop is all about feelings." The Athena kid instructing them clasps her hands together, her voice bouncing off the walls of the Arts and Crafts Center.
Aeri was well familiar with their instructor Nayeon because one of her early projects included pushing Nayeon to her now girlfriend. If Aeri had to brag about a successful matchmaking project of hers, their relationship would be one of them, considering that they're now in their third year of being together.
"I want you guys to feel. What's going on deep inside you? What are you feeling— how are you feeling and most importantly, how do you release these feelings."
"We always have some things we can't share to others people. Some things that we believe are better off unspoken. We hide away these feelings—keeping them locked away and we never really come to acknowledge them." Nayeon says as she walked around the small stage at the front, one of her hands holding firmly onto a brush. "I want you guys to revisit those emotions. Acknowledge them, touch them, join them, and let those feelings speak for yourself."
"Allow yourself to be in the moment. Feel it. Be one with it."
Without another word, the campers in the class all began to pick up a brush and some paint, beginning their piece.
