The past three days living on this beach had been...hectic. Clothes were flying around everywhere, tables being flipped, as well as water all over our food. Nevertheless, we still had fun and I managed to record most of the activities we did on my camera. It was finally the last day of our stay at the beach and who knew time could fly past so quickly? The boys had already packed their used clothes, all prepared to leave. We had a few more hours to spare at the campsite so we decided to play some games. Two losers would then have to go into the water hand in hand, and take 'couple pictures'.

We tried to be creative with the games since we had already played the board games that Doyoung had brought over five times throughout our trip here. We all sat around the empty campfire, thinking of games to play. Just then, Taeyong excitedly flailed his hand the air as we all eagerly paid attention to whatever his idea was.

"Why don't we find shells. The one with the least will be the loser," he suggested.

"Or we could find anything on the beach and find a way to use it as an everyday object. They would have to find multiple ways to use it. The person with the least ideas would be the loser," Yuta spoke up.

We took a moment to think through both ideas and decided that we would play both, to determine the two lucky winners who would get beautiful couple pictures taken by me. In the end, we agreed to both of the games but I was excluded because I was chosen as the referee. According to the boys I was 'the most honest'. However, I didn't protest as I sure as hell didn't want to go into the water. All of us walked to the shore and each of the boys chose their digging sites, some edging closer to the water, others staying well away from the waves.

I scanned the area to make sure that the boys were not standing too close to each other before pulling out my phone and setting a timer of 7 minutes. I then took my camera and pressed record and starting the game. I walked around, checking on each of the boy's progress as I recorded and commentated everything as if I was hosting a reality show. 

"Here we have contestant number 3, name, Palm Tree, age, ancient. How are things so far?," I asked as I approached my brother.

"Hey! Why am I a palm tree? And I'm not ancient," he protested without looking up, trying his best to find as many shells.

I panned the camera down to get his progress in the frame. "You tied yourself into a palm tree and you're ancient to me. Looks like contestant number 3 is not having any luck finding any shells. Maybe you should've planted your self nearer to the water," I gave him an encouraging pat on the back before leaving, the other boys bursting into laughter at my pun.

"Here we have contestant number 5, name, Jeffrrr, age, 3. It looks like this toddler here is in the lead," I said, slowly approaching Jaehyun.

I panned the camera down to the sand yet again and slowly went around him to hug him from behind, careful not to kick the shells that he had managed to find. I continued to commentate the whole game, walking around to check on each boy, making sure no one cheated before the ringer on my phone went of, marking the end of the shell searching game. All of us gathered back at the campfire site and placed their shells down, careful not to mix it up with the others'. I went round, counting everyone's shells, recording the scores on my phone.

"After counting with much accuracy, our dear palm tree here has the least number of shells. Which means, contestant number 3 will get a free wedding package with an unknown groom," I announced, leaving a sulky Johnny to be teased by the other boys.

We quickly placed the sea shells back in the sand where they belong and everyone dispersed to find an object to used for the second game. I waited patiently for all of them, preparing a makeshift stage for them to use later on in the game. Once everyone was gathered back at the campsite, I got everyone to settle down before announcing the rules and promptly starting the game.

One by one, they walked up to the makeshift stage with their chosen item in hand. I watched intently at their every move as I tried to be as lenient as I could when judging. It was interesting to see the different items and how they were used in different ways. Haechan brought up a con shell and came up with decent ideas. Winwin had brought up an umbrella which was very smart as it could be used in various ways. Mark however had brought up a piece of seaweed he had found on the sand but couldn't think of any uses of it.

In the end, Mark lost the game so him, as well as Johnny had to go into the water. While the both of them attempted to run away, Jaehyun led me to the van, opening my bag trying to look for something. After some time, I finally understood what he was looking for. I told him to catch the now shirtless Johnny who was trying to run into the van while I look for the particular something. I found it under a white shirt, taking it out quickly and joining the rest outside. Slowly, I approached them with my hands behind my back as I passed it to Jaehyun.

Jaehyun then crept up behind Johnny who was being held by Taeyong, and swiftly placed the item on him, tying the strings quickly. I held out my camera and recorded the whole process, everyone's laughter filling the background. Johnny now stood there, wearing my bikini which, to my surprise, fit him perfectly. I wriggled about in an attempt to remove the article of clothing but to no avail. Winwin and Haechan both escorted the two into the water as I took my position as today's 'hired professional photographer'. The sun began to set and the sky began to turn pink and dark blue. I stood there, Mark and Johnny was forced into a pose by the other boys, capturing every moment. A lot of photos were taken and we all had fun.

Yuta started counting down with a smirk on his face before running towards the two and splashing water all over them. The others joined soon after, pushing them into the water before running back to the van leaving Mark and Johnny to be alone in the water.
