The city lights reflected on the dark asphalt, and the cold night air filled the quiet street where several people happened to gather at the same place.

Geisler’s Heeseung stood near a brick wall, holding a cup of coffee as he looked around the street. “Cold night,” he muttered softly. Not far away, Runeshard’s Sunghoon waited by the pedestrian light with his hands in his pockets. Seretti’s Sunghoon stopped beside him. “Waiting for the light too?” he asked. Runeshard’s Sunghoon only nodded. Across the sidewalk, Schäfer’s Sunghoon leaned against a railing, quietly watching them as the wind moved his hair.

Near the bus stop, Lorth’s Yunah pulled her black jacket closer. Beside her, Geisler’s Pharita kept her sunglasses on despite the late hour, observing the small crowd. “Funny,” Pharita said softly. “Strangers gathering in one place.” By a nearby fence, Letheris’ Riki stood with his hands in his pockets, looking at the glowing street. Close to him, Gritner’s Riki leaned against a wall, silently watching everything. Suddenly 'click'. Geisler’s Riki lowered his camera with a small smile. “Nice composition. The city, the lights, and random people.” Shien’s Riki, walking past in a white hoodie, glanced back. “Don’t take a picture of me,” he said briefly, though a faint smile appeared.

The pedestrian light turned green. Some of them began to walk, others stayed. Under the same city lights, ten people with different stories shared one brief moment on the same quiet street.

Well today Runeshard's Stella and Schäfer's Almond stopped by the mall. At first Stella was only planning to accompany Almond to look for some clothes and shoes. But while they were casually walking around, Stella suddenly got distracted by a Pokémon merch stand.

"Aaaaa Almond liat deh, lucu banget. Aku mau."
"Enggak ya, Stel. Kita kesini bukan buat beli gituan."
"Ah, kenapasii. Yaudahlah, tapi fotoin dulu aku sama bonekanya"

Even though he looked a little reluctant, Almond still took the photo. After that, they kept wandering around the mall to find the clothes and shoes Almond wanted. Stella even snapped a photo of Almond when they accidentally ended up inside a kids' clothing store.

After finally getting what he needed, they decided to head home. Not because they were tired, but because they realized their allowance from koko and cece was already gone. If there had been money left, they probably would've kept circling the mall until they were exhausted.

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. 🌼🌿🧺✨

Onty & Uncle, tolong jangan cium Schäfer’s Keonho, Delmeist’s Seonghyeon, dan Merfyn’s Martin dulu ya. Supaya kami tetap sehat & terhindar dari virus dan kuman. Kami tetap sayang Onty & Uncle, kok!
