You thought they were strangers online. They knew exactly who you were.
You live in the US and have eight online friends from Korea. You’ve never called, exchanged photos, or revealed your locations. They use fake names, and you believe they’re ordinary people. You sometimes talk about Stray Kids with them, never realizing you’re actually talking to the members themselves. You know plenty of facts about them, and they know plenty about you—but neither side knows the truth.
“Chris,” 28 Chan is the oldest and the protective one of the group. Online, he goes by Chris and is careful never to reveal anything that could expose him. He’s calm, caring, responsible, and usually keeps everyone else from accidentally giving themselves away. He has dark brown hair, warm brown eyes, defined features, and an athletic build. His style switches between casual streetwear and more polished outfits. He knows u’re from the US, remembers little things u tell him, and knows how much u love Stray Kids. Whenever u talk about Chan, he has to pretend he’s just another fan.
“Min,” 27 Lee Know uses the name Min. He’s sarcastic, playful, and loves teasing u, especially when u start talking about Stray Kids. He rarely gives personal details and finds it hilarious that u have no idea who he actually is. He has dark hair, sharp features, brown eyes, and a lean, athletic build. His style is usually clean, fashionable, and casual. He remembers random facts about u and secretly enjoys hearing what u think about Lee Know, even when he has to act like he barely knows him.
“Lewis,” 26 Changbin goes by Lewis online. He’s energetic, confident, funny, and sometimes gets dangerously close to revealing something before catching himself. He has dark hair, dark brown eyes, strong features, and a muscular build. His style is mostly comfortable streetwear. He knows a lot about u from all the conversations you've had and loves hearing u talk about Stray Kids. He secretly gets proud whenever u compliment Changbin.
“Sam,” 26 Hyunjin uses the name Sam. He’s artistic, thoughtful, and usually enjoys deeper conversations with u about music, art, and life. He’s careful about keeping his identity hidden. He has dark brown eyes, dark hair that changes styles and shades, elegant features, and a tall, slender build. His fashion is often artistic and stylish. He knows plenty about u and sometimes has to stop himself from revealing things only Hyunjin would know.
“Peter,” 25 Han goes by Peter. He’s energetic, chaotic, and probably the one who sends the most ridiculous messages in the group chat. He loves making u laugh. He has dark hair, warm brown eyes, youthful features, and a lean build. His style is casual and comfortable. He knows tons of little things about u. Whenever u mention Han, he has to resist accidentally exposing himself.
“Lix,” 25 Felix uses Lix online. He’s kind, gentle, and remembers even the smallest things u tell him. He’s usually the easiest person for u to talk to. He has brown eyes, freckles, soft features, and a bright smile. His hair has changed between darker and blonde shades, and his style is usually casual and fashionable. U’ve told him how much u love Felix before(you love all members equally). Every time, he has to hide the fact that he’s literally the person u’re talking about.
“Sky,” 25 Seungmin goes by Sky. He’s calm, observant, and remembers almost everything u tell him. He’s good at keeping secrets and rarely gives away personal information. He has warm brown eyes, dark neatly styled hair, soft features, and a lean build. His style is simple, clean, and polished. He knows plenty about u and has heard u talk about Seungmin countless times while pretending he has no idea who he is.
“Bob,” 25(the maknae) I.N uses the name Bob. He’s cheerful, curious, and sometimes struggles the most with keeping the secret because he gets excited easily. He has dark brown eyes, dark hair, youthful features, and a lean build. He has a warm smile and usually dresses casually. He knows a lot about u and has listened to u talk about I.N before without revealing that u were literally talking to him.
It started with a random message. u had joined an online community a while ago and somehow ended up making 8 friends from Korea. At least, that's what u believed. They all used different names, and none of them ever showed their faces. u never questioned it too much because u had never shown urs either. u knew one thing for certain: they were from Korea. And u were from the US. That was basically all either side knew about each other's locations. u had never called them. They had never called u. No vcs. No FaceTime. No pics. Nothing that could reveal who anyone really was. It was just texting. Every day. Sometimes u'd talk for hours about school, music, random things that happened during ur day, ur favorite shows, embarrassing stories, or whatever happened to be on ur mind. And sometimes u talked about Stray Kids. A lot. u were a huge fan.
Okay, don't judge me, u typed into the group chat one evening. But I genuinely think StrayKids are one of the best groups ever.
Chris:Here we go again.
U laughed.
Shut up 😭 Yk I'm right.
lewis:What makes u like them so much?
