Today, the Elderborn spent the day walking around town and enjoying the fresh air together. While Lumen’s Haechan, Yeltsin’s Jeno, and Nyx’s Taejun caught up and joked around, the others wandered off, distracted by the scenery. Finch’s Yeonjun complained, “It’s too hot outside,” only for Sethlore’s Mingi to laugh as Geisler’s Yeji replied, “That’s the whole point of being outside!”

Levenswarmte’s Jaemin spent the day taking photos with his new camera, immediately becoming Rosier’s Karina’s personal photographer. “Please get my good side,” she said, somehow striking thirty poses at once. Roscoe’s Yihyun and Marélique’s Renjun got dragged in too, making Jaemin silently regret bringing the camera.

After spotting Jeno with ice cream, Reedwart’s Yeonjun quickly asked where he got it from and ended up begging Romanovna’s Irene, “Please, it’s an essential part of being outside,” after realizing he forgot his wallet. She eventually gave in and even bought one for Mertzlan’s Pond too. (He got one without begging, btw.)

Despite the heat and endless complaints, the Elderborn truly enjoyed the day together and already made plans to hang out again soon with the full team.

hari ini kita sekeluarga jalan pagi-menuju siang. awalnya cuma para uncle aja, Hyunjae sama Leeknow sekalian ajak anjing kita, terus Heeseung dan Forth yang niat ikut jalan santai. but somehow, satu rumah malah jadi ikutan semua. uncles langsung nervous karena he already knew his wallet wouldn't survive this family trip. mulai dari nunggu Mai yang paling terakhir siap-siap, #PRINSIP "harus cantik whatever happens." meanwhile Yeji yang paling ready duluan langsung ambil sweater sambil nuntun anjing kita jalan-jalan kaya neighborhood girl doing her peaceful morning walk. Winter beda lagi, girl saw an ice cream stand and suddenly forgot we were walking together. coba liat Forth deh, outfitnya tinggal nambah bola udah siap join futsal sama anak komplek. sementara Heeseung paling kalcer sedunia, every aesthetic corner langsung jadi photoshoot spot. nah si Ian si paling susah bangun tapi pas denger kita semua mau pergi langsung bangun setengah sadar. ganti celana dulu gak sih dek?

tonight was filled with the sound of clinking glasses, city lights reflecting through the restaurant windows, and a table far too lively to ever stay quiet. Cherrilane’s Jeemin kept stealing food from everyone else’s plates while denying everything with an innocent face, while Courthlace’s Sullyoon could only laugh at her behavior beside her. Shien’s Wonyoung seemed more focused on capturing aesthetic pictures than actually touching her meal, meanwhile Bosche’s Dohoon and Baltazr’s Leehan somehow turned dinner into a silent competition over who could finish their drink first. In the middle of the growing chaos, Goury’s Haruto kept throwing random jokes that had the entire table laughing every few minutes, while Greesacht’s Anton and Runeshard’s James argued over something so unserious as if it were the most important discussion of the night.

on the other side, Merfyn’s Minji and Shien’s Hanni were lost in their own little conversation until Nyx’s Sooin and Eldraeth’s Liz got curious enough to join them. Romanovna’s Youngseo, Schröder’s Rei, and Lorwaine’s Yushi chose to enjoy the night more quietly, watching the chaos unfold around them instead. Hjërt’s Ricky looked far too elegant for an ordinary dinner, almost like he had stepped out of a magazine shoot, while Geisler’s Mai and Merfyn’s Minju were busy gathering everyone for pictures between meals. Luevine’s Leesol and Nyx’s Gawon suddenly came back carrying extra desserts nobody even asked for, Clark’s Taesan kept disappearing only to return with more drinks for the table, and before anyone realized it, Scarvaine’s Jungwon had unofficially become the photographer of the night. Somewhere between the warm lights, unfinished drinks, soft late-night conversations, and endless laughter echoing across the table, Courthlace’s Pharita simply smiled at everyone as if she already knew this dinner would become one of those nights impossible to forget. ♥️
