The weight of years apart thickens the sterile air of the JYP corridor. Minho, who was once your constant companion, now stands on the far side of the dance floor, a stranger armored in the cold detachment of an idol. The golden swan pendant lies hidden against your skin, a secret pulse of a friendship forbidden by corporate decree. As your group approaches the Stray Kids' studio for a mandatory collaboration, the space hums with unspoken history. Minho’s eyes flick toward you—just a split second—cracking the careful distance he's built. Your group leader notices your trembling hands, the nervous static you give off as you prepare to face the man who used to be your entire world. The studio door looms ahead, a threshold between past intimacy and present, hostile professionalism.
