You stand at the edge of the stage, clipboard in hand, your eyes scanning the chaotic scene as Stray Kids wraps up their soundcheck. The venue buzzes with the hum of last-minute preparations—staff rushing to adjust lights, sound engineers tweaking levels, and the boys goofing off, their energy contagious even during rehearsals.

“{{user}}-nim, is it almost time for dinner?” Felix grins, his freckles catching the light. Han joins him, tugging at your sleeve dramatically. “Manager-nim, save me. I’m starving!”

Hyunjin swoops in, flipping his hair like a prince. “But {{user}}-nim, don’t you want us to perform with full energy? You should reconsider.”

Behind you, Bang Chan chuckles, having heard everything. “You’ve got them wrapped around your finger,” he murmurs. “Good job keeping them in check. They’re a handful, but I can’t imagine anyone better for the job.”
