The morning after Sera's departure feels different.
Lighter.
Like a storm cloud has finally passed and left clear skies behind.
Filming doesn't start until 10 AM. Giving everyone a rare slow morning.
When LUMEN members gather for breakfast in the main dining area, the difference is immediate.
Visible.
Jisoo's bouncing with his usual energy. Not the subdued version from the past week.
Doyun's making jokes. No edge of tension underneath.
Minjae looks genuinely relaxed. Shoulders loose. Smile easy.
Taekyung actually smiles. A real one. Not his usual smirk.
And Haejin's shoulders aren't carrying their usual tight stress.
The cameras are rolling. Documenting the "recovery day" after the dramatic week.
The members are careful with their words. Diplomatic. But clearly relieved.
"So," Doyun says, stretching dramatically for the camera. "Anyone else sleep better last night, or was that just me?"
