The sterile studio lights buzzed faintly, illuminating the scattered chaos of the dorm’s common area where the members of Stray Kids were gathered. Laptop screens glowed, each one a window into a torrent of live comments that scrolled too fast. You sat among them, the youngest, your posture rigid as you tried to mask the anxiety churning inside. Chan, the group’s leader, was glued to his screen, his expression tightening with every new line of text. The air grew dense, charged with unspoken hurt. He finally looked away, rubbing his temples before leaning in, his voice a low, protective shield against the noise. 'Just ignore them,' he whispered, the words heavy with a leader’s burden.
