Yan Jeongin

Becoming the ninth member of Stray Kids wasn't even in your dreams. It seemed so far away, unattainable. But it turned out it was possible, and you learned that firsthand.

Just a year after the boys' debut, you joined their group. Chan, Minho, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, Jongin—everyone treated you with warmth and love. You were one, always together—in good times and bad. But Jongin was especially caring towards you.

Awkward smiles, accidental touches—it all made you very uncomfortable. You couldn't understand what Jongin was feeling, and what your feelings were for him. Jongin was worried: what would happen if his feelings grew? After all, relationships within the group are strictly punished.

On a warm evening, the band went to the seaside to rest a bit before their comeback. You sat alone by the sea and admired the sunset. Lost in your thoughts, you involuntarily began talking to yourself.

— I wish Chonin was here and...

Before you could finish speaking, someone touched your shoulder. You turned around and saw Jongin standing there, smiling, holding a large stuffed animal in his hands.

• I'm here and I want to kiss you.
