The second mensive started with a beach day, and somehow everyone ended up doing their own thing while still staying close together. Papa Kangjoon and Juun enjoyed the view from their spot, occasionally watching the others run around the shore. Unc Wooyoung was everywhere at once, joining conversations, teasing people, and somehow becoming part of every group.

Not far away, Sunwoo, Anton, Leehan, Sui, and Woojin wandered along the shoreline, stopping whenever something caught their attention. Meanwhile, Nty Joy, Jeno, Yuha, Sangwon, Gunwook, and Leean were more interested in the water, spending their time playing around, collecting shells, and getting their feet soaked by the waves.

The afternoon passed slowly, filled with random stories, shared snacks, sand-covered slippers, and laughter that carried further than the ocean breeze. There wasn't any schedule to follow or anything important to do. For a while, it was just the beach, the sound of the waves, and Yeltsin spending another mensive together. 🏖️☀️🌊

After a few hours at the beach, Papa Kangjoon announced it was time for a grocery run, which somehow got everyone's attention immediately. With Jeno, Anton, Yuha, and Leean tagging along, what was supposed to be a quick shopping trip turned into a debate over every aisle. Anton kept tossing random snacks into the cart, Yuha insisted they needed way more than they actually did, and Jeno somehow became the designated cart driver for the entire trip. Meanwhile, Papa Kangjoon just followed behind, occasionally shaking his head before paying for everything anyway. By the time they reached the checkout, the cart was much fuller than planned, but nobody seemed to regret a single thing they had picked up.

While the others headed to the grocery store, Unc Wooyoung, Sangwon, Gunwook, Sui, and Woojin went straight to the villa to get everything ready. What sounded like a simple task quickly turned into moving chairs back and forth, arguing over where things should go, and changing the setup every five minutes because someone suddenly had a "better idea." Wooyoung kept directing everyone around like he owned the place, while Gunwook and Woojin handled most of the heavier stuff. Sangwon and Sui focused on making the place look nice, though they spent almost as much time joking around as they did decorating. By the time they finished, the villa looked ready for the night ahead, and for once, everyone actually agreed the setup turned out pretty good.

As the sun went down everyone finally gathered around the grill, Sunwoo took his role as the family's chef very seriously while Juun, Nty Joy, and Leehan helped prepare everything. The smell of barbecue filled the villa and before long everyone was reaching for food faster than it could be cooked.

The rest of the night was spent around the table sharing stories, laughing over random things, and stealing food from each other's plates. It was loud, messy, and exactly how family gatherings were supposed to be. After a day at the beach, a grocery run, and hours of preparation, ending the day together felt like the best part of all.

Happy 2nd mensiversary, Yeltsin! Thank you for another month of memories, comfort, and laughter. Here's to more days like this and many more moments together as a family. 🥂

Spending a quiet evening with Yeltsin’s Leehan always manages to clear the mind, especially when enjoying a formal yet relaxing stroll to feel the cool night. After walking around for a while, Hermes’s Taesan suggested stopping by a small, warm place to grab some warm noodles and hot tea together.

Sitting there watching the steam rise, Leehan suddenly looked outside and said that the quietest nights always have the best stories to tell if people just take a moment to listen, which turned a simple dinner into a deep. Taesan answered meaningful conversation that made the entire walk feel much more memorable.
