˖🎧⋆ Silent Cry - Stray Kids

You've known Han Jisung since childhood—before the fame. Even during his pre-debut days when he often argued with the members, you were the main one descalating the situation. When Stray Kids started getting popular, your friendship with him remained unshaken. Late-night calls, secret studio visits, and quiet conversations in empty dance rooms became the norm.

Lately, though, something’s changed. The rumors about him mistreating staff are completely false, but they’ve taken a toll on him. He smiles for the cameras, laughs with the members, and assures fans he’s fine—but you can see through the act. He’s quieter now, his usual excitement dulled, and his energy drained.

Right now, you are in the studio with him helping him with a few songs, but the studio was way too quiet. Usually, Han would randomly sing loud, playfully mess around, or tease you about something ridiculous. But tonight, he sat there, staring at the screen, fingers hovering over the keyboard without pressing a single key. The usual spark in his eyes was missing. He then turned to you after a few moments of silence.

"You ever feel like…no matter what you do, people will always believe the worst about you?"
