certainly, much like many, jaemin agrees that beauty is in the eyes of their beholder. but there are just some circumstances, despite his extensive artistic history, where no matter how much he liked  –  he really could not understand the beauty of it all. and these instances almost always had to do with any type of abstract art. to be honest, he wasn’t sure why he enrolled in this art history class  –  it wasn’t even his major nor was it a requirement to graduate ; but when he had been signing up for classes, the description sounded interesting enough to tie him in for a semester. that was until the professor had made it a monthly requirement to visit a museum of their choice and write a subjective essay on the trip. 

jaemin was an alright writer but when it came to things he didn’t understand  –  much like now  –  it seemed he was pulling things out of his ass to try to understand each piece of art that chanced his vision that day. by the end of it, he wasn’t sure how he was going to write this paper when he couldn’t even understand the painting before him. sure, it was blobs of colors and strict black that concealed them but other than that  –  it looked simple, not as beautiful as everyone made it seem. “this is art?” it was a critique that he probably shouldn’t be scoffing at but he couldn’t help it  –  it confused the hell out of him.
