Neon lights everywhere and the whole amusement park glowing at night. We — Nikolovich's Yujin & Luevine's Yujin — went on a few rides and just looked around at all the lights and people walking everywhere. Later we wandered into the arcade, surrounded by purple and red lights from all the machines. Luevine's Yujin kept trying different games, hoping to hit a jackpot while Nikolovich's Yujin just laughed and watched him.

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.

On this beautiful afternoon, Berthouven opened its gates for a little escape from the usual bustle. Berthouven’s Giselle gathered a lovely circle of friends: Letheris’ Soobin, Hefflins’ Soobin, Mondcroft’s Karina, Romanovna’s Lia, Schafer’s Chaewon, Schafer’s Giselle, Shellford’s Lia, Siegern’s Lia, Courthlace’s Yoonseo, Nikolovich’s Eric, Lysmere’s Karina, Seretti’s Lia, Diaz’s Giselle, Mills’ Chaemin, Luevine’s Jeno, and Grachter’s Soobin, for a simple picnic under the warm sun.

Blankets scattered across the garden, baskets brimming with little treats, laughter floating easily through the air while stories were shared between bites and warm sunlight. A day at Berthouven’s house that no one quite wanted to end, filled with laughter, lovely company, and small moments that quietly turned into cherished memories. And if days like this keep finding their way back, perhaps Berthouven’s doors might open again for another gathering before long. 🌼🌿🧺✨

Rather than spending this perfect day by being lazy and doing nothing at home, I, Letheris’ Soobin, hung out with two of my friends! And not like the usual hangout place, today’s spot is actually an animal shelter near my house—just like the idea Scythe’s Sunwoo proposed a week before.

The animal shelter we visited was full with cats and dogs—even kittens and puppies, too! And to be honest, nothing could hide our true feelings when we met and played with them, especially when Nikolovich’s Eric kept on squealing every minute.

Not only that, we actually had a scheduled playdate with one of the spirited pup in the shelter—say hi to Bonnie! Honestly, taking him out on the playdate was an unforgettable experience. Carrying him around near the fountain and feeling the breeze was such a vibe—way better than just staying stuck indoors. It was the perfect Monday, and seeing the guys acting all soft around Bonnie was definitely the highlight of the trip!

Oh, last but not least, always remember to #AdoptDontShop! 🤩
