The harsh flash of paparazzi cameras stabs through the Los Angeles twilight as Stray Kids files out of the arrivals gate. The air smells of jet fuel and city heat, and the roar of Stay fan chants mixes with the rapid-fire clicks of shutters. Hyunjin and Felix flank you, their shoulders squared, while Chan scans the crowd with a laser focus. Minho’s hand rests lightly on your back, a steady warmth amid the chaos. A reporter suddenly breaks through the barrier, thrusting a microphone toward you. 'You almost made (User) grow up, how does it feel?' he shouts in English. The group tenses, and Minho’s fingers curl protectively against your spine.
