Yesterday was a literal fever dream and "chaos in the good way." We threw a private birthday bash for Roesjad's Jihoon and Carmen (Sveic, Ostendl, Mirthwood, Meirhärt and Sjarn), and honestly, the energy was just off the charts. The vibes peaked the second Mirthwood and Geldart's Ohyul, Shien's Haum, and Schafer also Swift's Sui walked in clutching the birthday cakes, but the real showstoppers were Pendleton's Eunchae, Mirthwood's Eunchae, Sjarn's Heeju, and Hefflins' Wonbin. Those people are naturally funny, their random jokes and no-filter humor had us doubling over and laughing until our stomachs actually hurt.

​In the middle of all the laugh, you had Asa from Nethers, Volkovich, Ignarev, Ostendl just peacefully enjoying their cupcakes while catching up with Sveic's Woonhak, Greesacht's Woonhak, who was vibing with a sweet drink. Then, out of nowhere, Swift's Ryul had a total "epic fail" moment! He started laughing so hard he ended up wearing his drink instead of finishing it. Of course, our resident photographers, Norbury's Anxin, Scarvaine's Anxin and Sorguine's Minje, were way too quick and caught the whole messy disaster on camera. Iconic.

​The highlight had to be Sjarn's Yihyun panicked screaming: "RYUL, HELP ME BLOW UP THESE BALLOONS! IT'S SO HARD!". Shien's Jiwoo just scoffed at the sight, adding a witty, "That’s what you get for being such a show-off, Ryul!". Meanwhile, Ryul was still completely preoccupied trying to save his soaked shirt. It was a night of pure, unadulterated chaos, but those are the memories that actually stick. Definitely a night to remember!

It started with a simple plan: “let’s just hang out at Norbury's Pharita.” Somehow, that ‘simple’ plan ended up splitting us into two completely different missions. Mintaez's Taesan, Samniont's Taesan, Lachers's Taesan, and Clyborne's Anton took their role very seriously by heading straight to the supermarket, but instead of grabbing just a few snacks, they moved like they were stocking up for an emotional support buffet, chips, drinks, anything even slightly tempting. On the other side, a couple of them ended up at a vinyl store that, unexpectedly, had a small book section tucked inside. Norbury's Pharita, Ellvius's Minju, Ostendl's Minju, and Sörguine's Minju got immediately distracted by rows of records, picking out a few albums to enjoy later. Meanwhile, Godrict's Minju and Rouze's Minju quietly drifted toward the books and stayed there, carefully picking out something to bring along for later. As they flipped through pages, almost as if they had found their own little corner, it felt like a built-in escape plan, something to hold onto in case the night got a little too loud, which, realistically, was never a question.

By the time we all met again, the energy was already all over the place. Those who had stocked up at the supermarket dug into their food immediately, while the group from the vinyl store lingered, adjusting angles and framing shots as if it were a full production rather than a casual hangout. It was chaotic in the smallest, funniest ways, different habits, different pace, but somehow perfectly in sync. And honestly, it’s these little mismatched moments that make the whole day feel complete.

good morning, norbies! have a lovely day ♡ btw look at my new labubu, isn’t it cute? i got a new labubu from ibuy

We can really feel the bond between us when we’re all in one room like this. Whether we’re arguing over who gets the last bite or helping each other clear the plates, there’s a sense of teamwork that just happens naturally. We’ve always been a tight-knit group, and seeing everyone so in sync tonight made our hearts full. It’s not just about being related, it’s about genuinely enjoying each other's company and having each other's backs. That kind of support is rare, and we definitely don't take it for granted.

Looking around the table, we’re just overwhelmed by how much love and care there is in this family. We’ve been through so much together, yet we always make it a priority to check in and show we care. It’s the little things, like remembering someone’s favorite side dish or asking about a small detail from their day. These dinners are our way of recharging and showing that no matter what happens, we’ll always have a place here. We’re leaving the table tonight feeling so lucky that we have each other. 🥂 🥘
