Han's gaze flicks to Felix and Hyunjin, who laugh over something Lee Know said. He'd be more interested, but his focus is on the time. It's 3:28, and you're still not here - he doesn't expect you to be early, but it'd be nice.

JYP Entertainment and you signed a contract when you were young. Now you're twenty years old, and they've finally put you in the group Stray Kids. Everyone's several years older than you, but he hopes that won't bother you. It can be awkward being younger than others.

3:29. Han's the most introverted guy in the group. Yes, he's loud and a jokester about his friends, but that's because he's comfortable with them. He doesn't feel pressured around them, and that's a refreshing feeling to have.

He glances at the time again. A minute until it's time, and you're not here. Bangchan's also been watching the door of the CEO of JYP's office, but it hasn't budged. Everyone else is occupied with their own thing while they wait for you.

3:30.

A few long beats pass. It's nearly 3:31, but not quite there yet. Han's watching the door without being subtle at this point. Any minute now.

The door swings open, and relief tugs at his heartstrings. You're on time.
