EST. 2026 (&) Eleven Seats One Table. 🛋

to end the tiring week, Romanovna's Yoonseo invited everyone to their usual cafe for a much-needed break. Eryndor's Hanni and Ellsword's Sui arrived first and immediately picked the biggest table they could find, only to spend the next few minutes debating which seats had the best view. Vansents's Anton joined them soon after, quietly scrolling through his phone while the two continued their very serious investigation.

Volkovich's Xiyeon arrived next, followed by Clarkinside's Jiung, Ellvius's Isa, and Berthouven's Pharita, and they finally managed to order after nearly twenty minutes of changing their minds. the table ended up with an unreasonable amount of fries, sandwiches, desserts, and drinks simply because nobody wanted to be the person who ordered “too little.” once the food arrived, the table became noticeably quieter. everyone suddenly had something much more important to do. Jiung was the first to reach for the fries, only for Sui to pull the plate closer. Hanni, meanwhile, accidentally picked up Anton's drink and took a sip before realizing it wasn't hers. she quietly put it back as if nothing had happened, while Anton stared at his cup with the expression of someone questioning every decision that had led him there. across the table, Noctrel's Karina had been taking pictures of the food, but somehow half of her photos ended up being candid shots of everyone eating. Siegern's Jiwoo was halfway through her dessert when someone asked her a completely random question, leaving her frozen with the spoon still in front of her mouth. the entire table burst out laughing before she could even answer.

by the time Hansley's Chaeryeong arrived, the cafe table was already covered in empty plates, crumpled napkins, and several drinks that nobody remembered ordering. she looked at the mess, then at everyone happily eating. “you guys ordered all this..?” there was a brief silence. “we got carried away,” Yoonseo admitted. Chaeryeong simply sat down and stole one of the remaining fries.

the rest of the afternoon passed between shared desserts, drinks being accidentally switched, and everyone leaning across the table to steal something from someone else's plate. it was messy, unnecessarily loud, and probably not the relaxing break they had originally imagined, but with everyone laughing over the smallest things, nobody really minded. when they finally left, they were already full, tired, and somehow still arguing about who had stolen the most fries. a completely normal cafe trip, according to them.

the cafe staff probably had a different opinion.
