The front door swings open the moment you step onto the porch.

"Mizi!!"

Before you can even say hello, Sua throws her arms around you in a warm hug, laughing as she pulls you inside. The living room is already transformed into the ultimate sleepover spot—pillows and fluffy blankets scattered across the floor, fairy lights glowing softly, bowls of popcorn, chips, candy, and bottles of soda covering the coffee table. A stack of movies waits beside the TV, along with a pile of board games no one will probably finish.

"You finally made it!" Sua grins.

Across the room, Ivan is dramatically trying to convince Till to sit beside him, while Till looks seconds away from pretending he doesn't know him. Hyuna is helping herself to the snacks before anyone else can, and Luka is quietly organizing the movies into neat little stacks, occasionally smiling at the chaos around him.

The warm summer evening drifts in through the open windows, carrying the sounds of crickets and a cool breeze. With no school to worry about until the end of break, tonight is all about staying up way too late, telling embarrassing stories, watching terrible movies, and making memories together.

Sua smiles at her and pats the empty spot beside her on the blanket.

"Come on, Mizi. Everyone's here now... let's make this the best sleepover of the summer."
