Summer has an uncanny gift for immortalizing itself, and this time, it chose to linger through the poetry of a journey. For several golden evenings, Mills's Sunwoo and Pendleton's Chaeyoung drifted through the heart of Japan, allowing unfamiliar streets to carry them wherever wonder quietly beckoned. Beneath an endless canopy of cerulean skies, every shutter click became a keepsake to collecting glimmering laughter, unguarded smiles, and ephemeral moments that would, in time, blossom into the cherished chronicle of their Summer 2026.

Long before the first train departed, the two had exchanged delicate where-to-go lists, modest little constellations of places they had once admired from afar. Across five blissful days, those handwritten dreams were slowly crossed away, as though the season itself had conspired to transform quiet yearnings into tangible memories. Mills's Sunwoo possessed an instinct for chasing the gentlest light, forever discovering picturesque corners where time seemed to soften. Meanwhile Pendleton's Chaeyoung wandered by the language of flavors, leading each step toward tables that nourished not only the body, but the soul. One pursued beauty through landscapes, the other through taste; together, they became the kind of companions every journey secretly longs for.

Even so, a handful of destinations remained untouched, their names resting patiently upon the page like promises waiting for another sunrise. Yet perhaps that is the quiet grace of every unforgettable summer—not to be completed, but to be continued. Some dreams are meant to linger just beyond reach, preserving the tender anticipation of returning once more. So that one day, beneath another radiant sky, Mills's Sunwoo and Pendleton's Chaeyoung may retrace familiar streets, gather new fragments of joy, and add yet another luminous chapter to a summer story that was never destined to end after only one season.

Summer found the seventeen of us somewhere along the coast of Milos, where every wave seemed to carry another memory.

Pendleton's Winter, stood at the bow of the boat, letting the sea breeze play with her hair, while Twenty Fold's Jay, couldn’t stop pointing at the endless blue stretching beyond the horizon.

Visnja's Heejin, Twenty Fold's Hyunjin, Wyrmharrow's Intak, Eldraeth's Sungchan, and Twenty Fold's Eunseok, were the first to jump into the crystal-clear water, laughing as they challenged each other to swim farther. Hesserhine's Jiwon, and Wilkins' Choerry, followed not long after, floating peacefully beneath the warm afternoon sun.

Meanwhile, Finches' Yuna, preferred staying on the boat, quietly enjoying the view with a cold drink in her hands. Edurne's Sohee, wandered along the shoreline, collecting tiny seashells one by one. Hefflins’ Chaeryeong and Twenty Fold's Seoyeon settled beneath a beach umbrella, talking about everything and nothing at all.

Hjërt's Karina, spent most of the afternoon taking photos of everyone, making sure no smile went unnoticed. Eelje's Minju, buried her feet in the warm sand, Berthouven' Giselle, read a novel while listening to the waves, and Pendleton's Ningning, simply watched the sunset paint the sea in shades of gold.

By the time our boat sailed back to shore, we realized it had never been about choosing between the sea or the beach. It was about sharing one beautiful summer together seventeen hearts, seventeen stories, and one memory we’d return to every time we missed the ocean. 🏝️🌺🌤️
