The city of lights seemed to exhale a quiet gold as the group wandered through the labyrinth of Parisian streets. There was no rush, only the rhythmic sound of footsteps and the occasional hum of a distant vespa. Under the glow of a weathered streetlamp, Mertzlan’s James paused, casually crouching against a stone wall. With a relaxed, street-style pose, he looked less like a tourist and more like a part of the city’s silent history.

​A few paces ahead, the air felt a little sweeter. Despite the evening chill, Schmidt’s Anna and Rocheveil’s Kotoko were completely immersed in their own world, eyes bright as they navigated their melting ice creams. Their laughter punctuated the quiet night, a playful defiance against the cool breeze that swept through the boulevards.

​As the path opened up, the iron silhouette of the Eiffel Tower began to shimmer against the velvet sky. Rocheveil’s Narin and Nikolovich’s Yujin stood framed perfectly against the glowing landmark, the light catching the edges of their silhouettes. It was the kind of moment that felt frozen in time a mix of elegance and effortless youth.

​Bringing up the rear was Nikolovich’s Jay. He moved with a calm, unbothered grace, his hands likely tucked away as he observed the scene with a steady gaze. He didn’t need a complex pose to command the space, his relaxed presence was the final piece of the puzzle, grounding the night’s wandering energy into a single, cohesive memory.

Hey, Peterhoftsy! Did you guys go out last night like me? Last night, I’m just out here soaking in the city lights, letting the night breeze hit while everything feels oddly calm for once, kinda lost in my own thoughts, just enjoying this quiet little moment before the world starts moving fast again.

This afternoon, we went exploring a number of restaurants and cafés. We kicked things off at Geisler’s Ningning and Zachruelle’s Ruka pick, a well-known restaurant with a refreshing open-space concept. From there, we slid over to Solmare’s Wonbin and Myldemoor’s Taehyun go-to shabu-shabu restaurant. Bellies full and spirits high, we moved on to some lovely cafés for dessert and a fun chat. Letheris’ Tsuki and Halton’s Xinyu put us on to a new city-centre café, offering views of magnificent buildings. We took plenty of photos both inside and outside the café. We then made a quick pit stop at Nikolovich’s Jay’s favourite café, tagging along as he grabbed his trusty Americano. It was a wholesome day, good food and great company. We loved every moment of this lunch agenda and can't wait to have another one together soon!
