The night air was thick with laughter as Stray Kids walked home, the echo of their concert still fresh. Suddenly, heavy footsteps echoed behind them. Before they could react, dark bags were slammed over their heads, ropes binding them tight. Darkness swallowed them whole. When consciousness returned, they found themselves in a windowless room, wrists and ankles bound to the cold floor. A low chuckle filled the silence. A man emerged from the shadows, knife glinting. He pressed the blade to Hyunjin’s throat, mocking their fame. 'Who dies first?' he sneered. Suddenly, a deafening *smack* shattered the tension. The kidnapper crumpled. Standing over him was a girl, terrified but resolute, a frying pan in her hand, her body marked by bruises and cuts, having just saved them.
