The sun streamed through the cozy cafe's windows, casting a warm glow on the IDOL'S crew huddled around a wooden table. Han, Jace, Kai, and Adriel sipped their lattes, brainstorming session in full swing.
"How about 'Lost in the Moment'?" Jace suggested, tapping his cup with a spoon.
Kai raised an eyebrow. "A bit long, don't you think?"
Adriel scribbled notes on a napkin. "What about 'Echoes'?"
Han shook his head, eyes closed in thought. "Not quite..."
The chatter continued, ideas flowing like the cafe's rich coffee. Suddenly, Han's eyes snapped open. "Memories."
The others fell silent, considering it.
Jace's face lit up. "That's it! 'Memories' – it's perfect."
Kai nodded, smiling. "Captures the vibe, the nostalgia..."
Adriel scribbled the title on the napkin, grinning. "We're keeping it."
The IDOL'S high-fived, laughter bubbling up. In this moment, amidst coffee and chatter, they knew they'd nailed it.
As they clapped hands, their manager Mrs. Johnson's text popped up on Adriel's phone. "How's the title hunting?"
Adriel typed back: "Got it. 'Memories'."
The response was instant. "Perfect. Can't wait to hear it."
The IDOL'S crew leaned in, their voices painting vivid pictures as they described the emotions of "Memories".
Han's eyes drifted closed. "It's about... the moments you hold onto, even when they're gone."
Jace nodded. "The bittersweet ache of nostalgia."
Adriel's voice was soft. "Like looking at old photos, smiling and crying at the same time."
Kai's smile crept in. "Reminds me of that vacation we took with the Alpha Boys..."
The table fell silent.
Han's eyes snapped open, a mix of emotions flickering across his face. Jace and Adriel exchanged uneasy glances.
The memory hung in the air – laughter, adventures, and... Taejoon.
Kai's expression turned sheepish. "Uh, sorry. Didn't mean to..."
Han shook his head, a small smile returning. "No, it's okay. It's a memory, right?"
The others nodded, the mood shifting subtly.
The afternoon sun danced across the sidewalk as the IDOL'S strolled out of the cafe, deciding to soak in the city vibes. Han trailed behind, lost in thought. Jace, sensing his mood, piped up.
"Dude, heard there's a cat cafe nearby! We totally need to check it out!"
Han's lips curled into a faint smile. "Sounds like a plan."
The others chuckled, trying to draw him out. But as they wandered, their footsteps led them to the bridge – the one where Han and Taejoon's paths had crossed.
Han's steps slowed, his gaze drifting to the spot. Memories flooded him – the attack, the chase, the confusion. He chuckled, a mix of sadness and fondness, as tears pricked his eyes.
The others exchanged knowing glances. Jace squeezed Han's hand. "Hey, let's grab ice cream."
Han nodded, letting Jace pull him away. They ducked into a colorful shop, the scent of waffle cones and sprinkles enveloping them.
Inside, Adriel and Kai ordered quirky flavors. Jace steered Han to a corner, his voice low. "You okay?"
Han's smile was fragile. "Yeah.
Jace's grip tightened. "We'll make new ones, okay?"
The ice cream arrived
The IDOL'S dug into their colorful scoops, ooohs and mmms filling the shop. Kai got a blueberry smudge on his nose. Adriel's strawberry ice cream dripped onto his shoe.
Jace, munching on cookie dough, declared, "This is the life!"
Han's mint chip was a refreshing treat, his smile returning. "Best day ever."
In a burst of silliness, Adriel smeared a glob of chocolate on Kai's cheek. Kai retaliated with a blueberry blob on Adriel's forehead.
The chase was on. Ice cream flew, laughter echoed. Han got Jace in a headlock, rubbing cookie dough on his hair. Jace squirmed, giggling.
The shop erupted in cheer. Patrons snapped photos. The IDOL'S didn't care – they were kids again, savoring sweet joy.
In the midst of chaos, Han's eyes met Jace's. "Got you!" Jace yelled, swiping mint chip on Han's nose.
Han's grin was contagious. "Oh, it's on."
Ice cream smeared, they collapsed on a bench, a sticky, happy mess 😂.
As they licked cones, Adriel sighed. "Best ice cream ever."
Kai nodded, blueberry-stained. "Definitely."
Han and Jace nodde
At Stars entertainment company
*The Unexpected Abduction*
Mr. Kim, manager of the Alpha Boys, strode towards his sleek sedan, the city lights of Seoul reflecting off the polished hood. Lost in thoughts of upcoming performances, he didn't notice the two figures approaching until they were mere feet away.
The vampires, dressed in tailored suits, exuded an air of sophistication. Mr. Kim's confusion turned to unease as they halted before him. Before he could speak, one vampire grasped his wrists, their grip like a vice.
In a blur of speed, the vampires whisked Mr. Kim away, leaving behind a bewildered parking attendant. They vanished from the human realm, reappearing in a grand, dimly lit hall – the Vampire Castle.
Echoes of whispers and soft footfalls filled the air as they led Mr. Kim deeper into the castle. He stumbled, his mind reeling. Where was he? What did they want?
The vampires halted before a throne there
