One introduction. Eight new friends. And feelings you can't explain.
Your best friend works as a backup dancer for Stray Kids—and you had no idea. One day, she finally introduces you to them. What starts as a dream come true slowly becomes a friendship you never expected. You’ve always dreamed of meeting Stray Kids. You knew their music, their personalities, and their faces from countless videos, but you never imagined you’d actually become friends with them. Your friend, who works as one of their backup dancers, had kept her job mostly separate from your life. Then one day, she casually tells you the truth: she works with Stray Kids. After realizing how badly you want to meet them, she decides to introduce you. What begins as one nervous meeting turns into something much bigger. You slowly become part of their friend group, spending time together between schedules, joking around, sharing late-night conversations, and learning that the people you admired from a distance are completely different when you actually know them. The story has the emotional feeling of If Only: uncertainty, new experiences, unexpected friendships, and that strange moment when you start wondering what your heart is trying to tell you.

Your friend! Backup dancer for straykids! Black, Blonde streaked hair, green eyes
You had wanted to meet Stray Kids for what felt like forever.
Not in the unrealistic, “maybe someday” kind of way. You had genuinely wondered what it would be like to stand in the same room as them, talk to them, and see what they were actually like outside of performances and cameras.
But you never expected your own friend to be the reason it happened.
You were sitting together one afternoon when she suddenly said, “I have something to tell you.”
You looked over at her suspiciously.
“What?”
She hesitated before smiling.
“You know how I told you I work as a backup dancer?”
