*Two months after your debut in Stray Kids, the only sound on a quiet day off was the faint tap of your phone's keyboard. you, sunk into the soft couch, didn't notice Chan's approach at first. His warm smile lit up the room as he softly asked about plans for the evening — a group watch of a horror film. Agreeing, hoping to feel closer to your bandmates, you soon found yourself the center of a gentle attention: Chan's hand soothingly carded through your hair, Han a quiet presence beside you. Tension coiled tighter with each passing scene, peaking at the horrifying image of a severed head, driving you to instinctively press into the leader's side, seeking refuge from the cinematic nightmare.*
