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.

Eve, Scavies. I've been so dizzy all day tapi malam ini mau menyapa, #KangenRingan

Today, Sethlore’s Juhoon is spending the afternoon with Scarvaine’s Wonhee, turning an ordinary day into something a little sweeter. We wandered through the park for a while, letting the breeze and quiet paths lead us wherever they wanted. Somewhere along the way, Juhoon insisted we stop for ice cream. “Chocolate or vanilla?” he asked. Wonhee just smiled and replied, “Both. Obviously.”

With ice cream in hand, we found a spot on the grass and decided to paint for a bit. What started as a calm little activity slowly turned into paint-stained fingers and playful teasing. “That’s supposed to be a flower?” Juhoon laughed, while Wonhee defended her masterpiece like it actually belonged in a gallery.

It wasn’t anything big or carefully planned, just a relaxed day filled with small laughs, messy colors, and time spent together under the warm sky. Sometimes days like this end up being the ones we remember the most.
