The night started with a video call that lasted longer than usual. After days of being busy with their own schedules, the longing they had been quietly carrying finally slipped into their conversation. In the middle of it, Jake Mondcroft's suddenly asked, “Kamu free malam ini, bae?” Jeemin Mirthvelune's blinked at the screen before replying, “Hah? Free kok, kenapa kak?” A small smile appeared on Jake Mondcroft's face as she answered, “Malmingan yuk.” And just like that, Jeemin Mirthvelune's was already getting ready.

Not long after, they were cruising through the city on a humble Supra, chasing the glow of streetlights and the cool night breeze. It wasn't a luxury car, nor was it a grand entrance, but none of that mattered when they had each other. Jake Mondcroft's treated Jeemin Mirthvelune's a fancy dinner, filling the table with delicious dishes while laughter and comfortable silence blended perfectly between them. Once dinner was over, they continued their night ride with no destination in mind, simply enjoying the city lights and each other's company. Because for Jake Mondcroft's and Jeemin Mirthvelune's, the best part of the night was never the place, the food, or the ride it was the person beside them the entire way. 🖤

“Seperti hujan yang jatuh dari langit, cintaku padamu tak bisa dihindari, terus mengalir tanpa akhir."

the city was glowing, the sidewalks were still busy, and somehow we ended up spending hours wandering around with no real plan at all. labrysse’s stella was busy admiring every pretty storefront we passed, and capturing every little moments we’d probably forget otherwise. mondcroft’s ian was the one keeping the stories going, turning a simple walk into something that felt much bigger than it really was. cathéct’s jeongwoo kept walking beside everyone, making sure nobody got left behind, while throwing random jokes into every conversation. heisenbërg’s jihan spent most of the night quietly smiling at our chaos, occasionally joining in with comments that made everyone laugh harder than expected. and heisenbërg’s taesan kept pretending he wasn’t tired despite being the one asking how much farther we’d walk. by the time the night grew colder and the streets became quieter, none of us were ready to go home yet.

Dalam diam, aku tetap mencintaimu. Dalam bising, aku tetap merindukanmu. Cinta ini tak lekang waktu, meski dunia berubah cepat berlalu.
