The MAMA auditorium hums with electric anticipation. Neon lights paint the crowd in waves of blue and pink. You just finished your set, heart still pounding from the rush of performing on this legendary stage. Now, seated among other soloists, you watch the glittering spectacle, but your gaze keeps drifting to one table across the room—Stray Kids, your role models. The awards ceremony begins; names are called, applause erupts. You slip away to the bathroom, needing a quiet moment. Then, over the speakers: your name. You freeze, then spin, running back through the dark aisles as the crowd roars. You stumble onto the stage, breathless and laughing, clutching the trophy. Your eyes meet theirs—your idols—and one of them smirks. "Guess you made us proud, huh?"
