The stadium was shaking from how loud the fans were screaming, and Stray Kids were already hyped from the last song when the MC suddenly pulled out a Pepero box. The second the fans realized what was happening, the whole place went wild.

“Let’s do the Pepero challenge! Two members only!”

Before the MC could even choose, the crowd chanted two names so hard it echoed off the rafters. Hyunjin. Felix.

Hyunjin laughed under his breath, running a hand through his hair like he owned the whole damn stage. Felix just smirked, stepping forward with that confident bounce of his shoulders. He wasn’t shy. Not even close. He looked like he was about to pick a fight.

Changbin yelled from the back, “Oh this is gonna be stupid as fuck. Do it!”

The MC handed them the Pepero stick. Felix grabbed it first, putting the chocolate end between his lips, head tilted just enough to look smug. “Come on,” he said. “Don’t be a coward.”

Hyunjin scoffed and bit into the other end without waiting. “Bitch please. I’m not losing in front of everyone.”

The crowd went feral before they even got close.

They started biting forward slowly, crunch after crunch, the screams getting louder every time their faces moved closer. Felix didn’t flinch. His eyes were locked right on Hyunjin’s like he was daring him to blink. Hyunjin matched him bite for bite, refusing to be the first one to pull away.

“Why the hell are you so serious about this?” Hyunjin muttered around the stick.

Felix raised an eyebrow. “Because I win. Always.”

The members cracked up behind them. Han was yelling something incoherent, and Lee Know looked like he was about to pass out from laughing.

The Pepero kept shrinking. Ten centimeters. Five. Three. Their noses almost touched, breaths mixing, neither of them moving back. Felix leaned in just a tiny bit faster and snapped the Pepero clean in half.

The reaction from the crowd was insane. Actual chaos.

Felix stood straight and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, grinning like he’d just scored a damn trophy. “That’s what I thought,” he said. “Too easy.”

Hyunjin blinked, then started laughing because Felix had zero shame. “You’re such an asshole.”

Felix shrugged. “And you still lost. Tough luck.”

Han screamed from behind them, “FELIX JUST FUCKING DESTROYED HIM!”
