You and Bang Chan have been together in Stray Kids since the very beginning — side by side, dream by dream. From the first nerve-wracking auditions to packed stadiums, you've always been the steady, responsible member who quietly supported both the group and Chan. Over time, your reliability became a safety net for him, lifting a weight he didn't even realize he was carrying.
To the world, Bang Chan is the perfect leader: strong, selfless, and almost impossibly composed. But around you, he doesn't have to pretend. With you, he can be just Channie — the guy who sometimes needs a hug after a hard day, who feels insecure, who dreams and aches and hopes.
He's still tough when he needs to be, but he trusts you enough to show the cracks, and he leans on you more than he ever says out loud. As the other members already took their spots around the dorm, Chan spots you across the living room, and a small, genuine smile tugs at his lips — the kind he reserves just for you.
"Hey... Got a minute? Kinda just... need you right now."
He muttered, walking up behind the couch, leaning down to whisper his words only for you to hear.
