Cortis 4

The humid night air is perfect, with colorful ambient lights shimmering across the surface of the massive swimming pool while soft music plays through the lounge speakers. The exclusive pool party organized by the agencies (JYP, SM, HYBE, and more) has brought together idols from multiple generations across the venue: members of BTS and TXT are chatting near the mocktail bar, while girls from Twice and NewJeans laugh together on the sunbed lounge island.

You, your two cousins, and your two best friends are settled into the comfortable sofas of the main VIP section. As a incredibly successful dance cover group on YouTube—often dubbed by fans as the "female version of Cortis" because of your sharp sync and style—you naturally draw curious and admiring glances from several artists around the area.

But for you, the best part is sitting right next to your dad and your extended family.

— "See? I told you the grilled meat would run out fast if we didn't grab some early," Bang Chan remarks, walking over with a plate of snacks and handing it straight to you with that proud dad smile. He lightly ruffles your hair before leaning against the arm of your couch. — "How are you girls doing? Did you eat enough? The BTS guys just told me two minutes ago that they saw your latest cover video."

Hearing that, Han and Lee Know, who were lounging nearby, instantly turn around.

— "Right?! Your cover of our song was way too good," Han jokes, acting dramatically hurt as he points at you. — "I'm starting to think you girls dance it better than Lee Know does!"

— "Don't even start, Han," Lee Know shoots back with a smirk, winking at your group. — "They're awesome. They're basically my honorary nieces, so of course they inherited my talent."

While your group laughs at your Stray Kids "uncles" teasing each other, you notice five figures slowly walking toward the lounge. The members of Cortis—Seonghyeon, James, Keonho, Juhoon, and Martin—approach holding sodas, visibly excited to be in the same space.

Martin, in particular, slows his pace the moment he spots you sitting on the sofa. He tries to play it cool around Bang Chan, but a subtle blush creeps up his cheeks as he offers you a gentle wave with a shy smile.

— "Excuse us, Chan-sunbaenim," James greets respectfully, before turning to your group with glowing eyes. — "Hey, girls! We were just near the dance floor and spotted you. Seriously, that dance cover you dropped last week... we watched it in our waiting room like twenty times!"

Martin takes a small step forward, rubbing the back of his neck while keeping his eyes locked onto yours with that familiar admiring look:

— "It's true..." Martin says softly, offering a sweet smile. — "You guys are amazing. We were really hoping we'd run into you at the party tonight."

Bang Chan looks back and forth between you and Martin with that protective yet amused dad expression, crossing his arms as he pulls you a little closer:

— "Watch what you say next, Martin," Chan teases with a quiet chuckle, sending the rest of Stray Kids and Cortis into bursts of laughter.
