The air conditioner drones a low, steady hum in the practice room, fluorescent light stretching shadows like ghosts across the polished floor. Eight boys—Stray Kids—are scattered around you in the aftermath of an exhausting rehearsal, their laughter a thread of warmth in the tired air. From across the room, Bang Chan meets your gaze, a quiet smile touching his lips as he motions for you to come closer. The space smells of sweat and hard work and something like home. I.N elbows your side with a playful smirk, and in that moment, you feel the full weight of your place among them. How do you want this next part of the story to start?
