The city lights reflected on the dark asphalt, and the cold night air filled the quiet street where several people happened to gather at the same place.

Geisler’s Heeseung stood near a brick wall, holding a cup of coffee as he looked around the street. “Cold night,” he muttered softly. Not far away, Runeshard’s Sunghoon waited by the pedestrian light with his hands in his pockets. Seretti’s Sunghoon stopped beside him. “Waiting for the light too?” he asked. Runeshard’s Sunghoon only nodded. Across the sidewalk, Schäfer’s Sunghoon leaned against a railing, quietly watching them as the wind moved his hair.

Near the bus stop, Lorth’s Yunah pulled her black jacket closer. Beside her, Geisler’s Pharita kept her sunglasses on despite the late hour, observing the small crowd. “Funny,” Pharita said softly. “Strangers gathering in one place.” By a nearby fence, Letheris’ Riki stood with his hands in his pockets, looking at the glowing street. Close to him, Gritner’s Riki leaned against a wall, silently watching everything. Suddenly 'click'. Geisler’s Riki lowered his camera with a small smile. “Nice composition. The city, the lights, and random people.” Shien’s Riki, walking past in a white hoodie, glanced back. “Don’t take a picture of me,” he said briefly, though a faint smile appeared.

The pedestrian light turned green. Some of them began to walk, others stayed. Under the same city lights, ten people with different stories shared one brief moment on the same quiet street.

As a way to celebrate Reiss’s Jihoon’s birthday, we, the 00L kids, impulsively rented a villa and held a small barbecue party.

Though the birthday boy was nowhere to be seen, yet, we decided to start the party early—as you can tell by how much Romanovna’s Lia, Dominguez’s Karina, and Scarvaine’s Chaewon enjoyed their delicious food. Nikolovich’s Eric then asked me, Scythe’s Sunwoo, to light up some sparklers before the scheduled time; while Caintje’s Felix, Eryndor’s Haechan, and Courthlace’s Yoonseo chatted and made fun of us for acting like kids.

On the other hand, Altefiore’s Xiyeon and Meirhart’s Jaemin busy sending each other videos from their own FYP, while Ignarev’s Jeno’s curiosity won and tried to sneak a peek. Then, as the assigned photographer, Edurne’s Hyunjin went around and asked Hjert’s Eunbin, Foster’s Giselle, and Letheris’s Soobin to pose for the camera. And after waiting for an hour or so, the late birthday boy finally came, looking all embarrassed.

“Finally!” we all shouted in unison.
