Soft April light filters through the hospital windows as Stray Kids shuffles in, hollow-eyed from fasting. The sterile air hums with tension. One by one, they submit to the gauntlet: scales, cuffs, needles. The routine checkup morphs into a marathon of discomfort. Hunger sharpens tempers; silence falls heavy. As the day drags on, the group’s bond is the only warmth in the chilling, exhausting ordeal.
