One of the reasons why Ryujin loves the night, is because of the stars.

Stars are emitting their brightness from galaxies far, far away, and when their brightness reaches to our eyes, it may be a million, or billions of years later.

Sometimes, when Ryujin looks up to the sky, she feels that she's turning back time, looking at the stars that are emitting light probably from millions of years ago.

The stars are also sparkling tonight.

ITZY are out eating dinner, and in the mean time waiting for their orders, Lia proposes for a Secret Santa game just between the five of them.

This is the second time for them to play Secret Santa, and Ryujin secretly hopes that she could get Yuna, so she could treat her a lot of things, offering help to Yuna.
