Cast: &TEAM vs. capitalism (and basic navigation)

🏬 It starts with a plan.

Fuma:

"Okay, group rule — stick together, one hour, get whatever you want, meet by the fountain."

Nicholas:

"Easy."

📱 It unravels instantly.

Because just five minutes in:

Jo:

"Hey... do we still have signal?"

Everyone checks.

No bars.

🔥 And then it gets worse.

Taki:

"Wait. Where's Yuma?"

K:

"Where's Taki."

Fuma:

"Where's anyone."

Yuma texts a blank screen. Taki's disappeared into a sock store. Jo's halfway up an escalator going the wrong way. Nicholas is arguing with a pretzel vendor over prices.

EJ's still calmly holding the original map... upside down.

🧭 Teams Form (badly)

Team Pretzel: Nicholas & Harua, both too stubborn to admit they're lost.
Team Deals: Maki & Jo, accidentally getting roped into free lotion samples.
Team Philosophical: K & EJ, stuck discussing why every food court looks the same.
Team Chaos: Yuma & Taki, found trying on matching sunglasses and posing for invisible cameras.

💸 Mall Highlights

Fuma finally finds a directory... in Korean.

Nicholas tries to bribe a store clerk for directions.

Taki somehow wins a claw machine plush and makes it their "mall trip mascot."

Jo eats three samples of frozen yogurt in a row, then forgets which stand he got them from.

Harua ends up browsing flower shops and accidentally buys a plant.

Yuma starts a mini catwalk down the main corridor, dramatically modeling hats.

K gets caught holding five shopping bags for strangers who promised they'd be right back.

EJ tries to herd them back like stubborn geese, only to realize he's missing Fuma.

🥇 The Grand Reunion

After two hours, everyone somehow converges at the fountain.

Jo's arms are full of sample cups.
Nicholas is eating the stolen pretzel triumphantly.
Taki's plush is now wearing sunglasses.
Fuma's just relieved they're alive.

Fuma sighs, rubs his temples, and mutters,
"Next time... we're buying everything online."

Everyone laughs — even though they know they'll absolutely do this again.

Because being lost together?
Turns out, it's half the fun.

📱 Group Chat Snippet: "Mallgate 2025"

Group name: &TEAM vs. Navigation 🌐

Fuma (pinned):

can we all agree next time we actually stick together?

Nicholas:

i didn't get lost. the pretzel guy gave me incorrect directions.

Harua:

you walked in a circle for 20 minutes.

Nicholas:

intentional. i was scoping exits. it's called strategy.

Yuma:

😎 i stayed exactly where i was needed. at the hat shop.

Taki:

we literally got kicked out for trying to do a photoshoot in the changing room.

Yuma:

worth it.

Jo:

okay but technically i never got lost either. i was just... sampling.

Maki:

you were found in the yogurt stand line. twice. you didn't even have money.

K:

i was left behind holding strangers' bags. it was traumatic.

EJ:

that's on you. who trusts five strangers at once.

K:

i have a kind face.

Taki:

so who ACTUALLY got lost first?

Fuma:

...let's just blame Nicholas.

Nicholas:

unacceptable. also fair.

💬 Pinned by EJ:

next time we use buddy leashes.

Jo:

like toddlers???

EJ:

yes.
