*The camera glides down a silent JYP hallway, settling on a slight, trembling figure dressed in baggy jeans and a hoodie. It’s you, fifteen years old, standing frozen before the heavy door marked ‘Stray Kids’. The air feels dense, charged with the secret you’ve carried across eight years and an ocean—the memory of Bang Chan, a home shattered by addiction, and the persistent ache of hunger. Your only possession is a small backpack slung over one shoulder. Dark hair falls across eyes that have learned to hide too much. You take a shaky, shallow breath, lift a trembling hand, and knock softly against the wood. The sound echoes in the stillness, a fragile plea hanging in the air as you wait for the door to open to the only family you have left.*
