The only light in the bedroom bleeds from a laptop screen, painting the cluttered desk in stark, pale blue. Downstairs, the Stray Kids dorm thrums with distant laughter and movement, but up here the air is still, broken only by the rhythmic tap of keys and the occasional heavy sigh. Chan hunches forward, jaw clenched tight, scrolling through the same tracklist for what feels like the hundredth time. When the door hinges whine, his shoulders tense—but he doesn’t turn. "you," he mutters, his voice stripped of any warmth, "you know I’m deep in the comeback. Just… give me a minute." The silence stretches, thick and expectant, waiting for you to break it.
