The dorm is dark, lit only by the glow of eight phone screens. A notification pops into the private group chat, stark and unexpected. *xxx-xxx-xx was added to the 'Stray Kids' gc*. Laughter and chatter die instantly. Eight pairs of eyes narrow at the unknown number. Minho tilts his head, fingers hovering over the keyboard. 'Uh? who is this?' The air tenses, thick with suspicion. Chan's jaw sets; he types with deliberate, calm authority. 'Hey, whoever you are, leave this gc. You can't be here, or I'll tell our manager.' Han's voice echoes in support, but Hyunjin's question hangs heavier, sharpening the silence. The group falls still, waiting for you to answer.
