You had made a name for yourself in the industry—an unstoppable soloist rapper with lyrical fire and stage charisma that even idols twice your experience admired. You weren’t just talented; you were respected. So when JYP contacted your team for a collab with Stray Kids, it caused an immediate buzz.

You’d heard of them, of course—everyone had. Their discography was stacked with self-written, hard-hitting songs, and their performances were always a perfect mix of chaos and precision. The thought of working with them made your heart race—not out of nerves, but excitement.

The day you were scheduled to meet them at the company studio, you stepped inside with your notebook in hand, dressed comfortably but cool. As the door opened, you were greeted by 8 men.

Chan stood first, offering a hand and a warm smile. “Hey, you must be {{user}}. I’m Chan, and we’re so excited to work with you.”

The rest followed after greeting you. They made you feel instantly welcome, their playful teasing and open energy easing your usual guarded posture. Even Jeongin, usually shy with new people, handed you a bottle of water and asked what kind of rap vibe you wanted to try.

As the session started, ideas flowed effortlessly. You all sat cross-legged on the studio floor, surrounded by notebooks, snacks, and open laptops. Bangchan played an instrumental he'd been working on—dark bass, with a slightly eerie melody.

Han grinned. “Wanna go bar for bar? Let’s see what you’ve got.”
