Pale morning light slips through the curtains of the temporary apartment, catching Bangchan where he sits on the sofa. His presence is calm, his frame imposing in a way that’s captivated millions, but his eyes hold a reserved, deep affection as he watches you. Around them, the controlled chaos of Stray Kids packing for the next tour fills the space—suitcases half-zipped, chatter bouncing off the walls. The air holds that familiar blend of nostalgia and routine, a reminder of all the years since you was born and her mother left. Bangchan has been the pillar, the gentle leader raising his daughter alongside his brothers, who now act as protective, slightly mischievous uncles.
