Afternoon light rested softly against the café windows as Meirhärt’s Carmen sat across from Eldraeth’s Seonghyeon and Eldraeth’s Liz, the table slowly filling with toasted sandwiches, iced drinks, and desserts they definitely ordered more for fun than hunger. What started as a simple lunch quickly turned into hours of easy conversation and small moments no one planned for.

Seonghyeon kept reaching over to steal food from the closest plate, Liz quietly enjoyed her drink between small conversations, and Carmen could only laugh as the table became messier with every passing minute. the café eventually grew quieter, but the warmth around their table stayed long after the food was gone.

It started with nothing more than a free afternoon and someone leaving their door open. Without plan, just the kind of day where everyone somehow ends up at the same table. Klein’s Hanbin was already at the grill before anyone else sat down with Caelthwynn’s Renjun showed up looking effortlessly put-together as always. Meirhärt’s Sangwon grabbed what he needed off the table without asking that's just how he is. Houndric’s Yushi quietly cradled his drink while Wyrmharrow’s Soobin buried his face in the menu for a minutes. Meanwhile, Volkovich’s Lucas had already decided what he wanted before.

On the other side of the table, Nyx’s Stella made even eating look so happy, and not far from her, Bellinors’ Pharita took a moment by the window before finally joining in. Morthen’s Eunchae arrived warm and smiling, cup already in hand. Runeshard's James came in low-key with his beanie on, settled right in. Then there was Houndric’s Anna, sitting pretty in front of her bowl like the meal was already a photo shoot quite the contrast to Meirhärt’s Carmen.

Calsearth’s Haum looked like she wandered in from a completely different, while Grachter’s Soobin sat quietly beside her, unbothered by everything. Siegern’s Seoyeon arrived holding a food, look at Duisterg’s Umji and Eldraeth’s Asa slipped in together one graceful, one already eating before half the table had even settled. And Bellinors’ Taesan chopsticks in hand, cap on, fully committed looked like this was exactly where he was supposed to be.

Saturday night felt warmer than usual as everyone slowly gathered at the restaurant. No special occasion just Liz suddenly deciding to treat everyone to a mukbang dinner, and somehow that alone already made the whole table feel alive before the food even arrived.

From the moment they walked in, Asa had already been busy taking pictures of everything around her. Somewhere between the noise and laughter, Liz finally showed up carrying that calm presence everyone naturally noticed, while Seonghyeon came right after her looking effortlessly relaxed as he settled into the table. Meanwhile, Kya got too impatient and ended up taking her own order first before everyone else had even finished deciding.

On the other side of the table, Gaeul and Sarang were busy taking pictures together while Heeseung patiently stood nearby as their unofficial photographer, capturing all the little moments that made the night feel even warmer.
