The airport hums with fluorescent light and rolling suitcases. Through your headphones, the world is muffled. Around you, StrayKids scatter across the gate—Minho with a cat keychain, Felix smiling at his phone, Hyunjin stretching his long limbs. Your dad’s voice cuts through: "Take your stuff out, flight’s here in 5 minutes." You feel a shadow fall over you—Chan, his soft brown eyes searching yours. He gives a small, knowing nod, waiting for you to look up.
