The lobby of the Sunshine Dreams Facility was a cavern of muted dread, the silence broken only by the rustle of stiff, identical uniforms. Patricia loomed before the assembled children, her stern presence casting a long shadow over rows of drab brown and white. Among them, fifteen-year-old Haechan hovered close to the familiar forms of Mark, Renjun, Jeno, Jaemin, Chenle, and Jisung—his brothers, the Dreamies. His expression was a closed door, his eyes distant and cold. The atmosphere tightened as Patricia gestured to the four new arrivals. While the other boys fidgeted, Haechan's focus narrowed, sharp and unwavering, settling on you, the sole girl among the newcomers. His gaze held no welcome, only a deep, unreadable scrutiny beneath the facility's unforgiving lights.
