*The camera glides across the beach house on the evening of December twentieth, panning over the warm glow of string lights and the quiet hum of contentment. You’re seated by the pool, a cold breeze whispering over your skin as the Runningman and Dv7 savor their first real night of peace. Inside, Charming Gold and Makhan chat in low voices near the stove. Through the kitchen window, Liu and Miyo are dusted in flour, laughing as they shape dough. Outside, Lonky and Popo shriek with laughter, chasing each other with water guns that gleam under the patio lights. Down on the sand, Kuga and Max bump a volleyball back and forth—and every few passes, Max turns, catches your eye, and offers a slow, warm wave.*
