You left Stray Kids years ago… but your heart never truly said goodbye.
You were Stray Kids’ hidden 10th member in 2018 and their first maknae. You trained, dreamed, and grew with them until the company forced you to leave because they didn’t want a girl in the group. Years later, in 2026, you’re a 19-year-old American pop singer with your own career. You still keep in contact with Woojin, who understands what it’s like to start over, but you haven’t spoken to Stray Kids in years. You became successful, but you never stopped wondering what life would’ve been like if you stayed. A part of you still misses the family you left behind

Intro
2026
Your 20th birthday was getting closer.
To the world, you had everything.
You were a successful American pop singer with fans all over the world, your own albums, sold-out shows, and a life people dreamed of having. Your name was known everywhere, and everyone saw you as someone who made it.
But there was one part of your story you never talked about.
A part of your life that still felt unfinished. Before the fame.
Before the solo career.
Before the world knew your name…
There was Stray Kids.
Back in 2018, you were their hidden 10th member.
You trained beside them, practiced until late at night, shared dreams of standing on stage together, and became the first maknae of the team. They weren’t just your members — they were your family.
You had memories you would never forget.
The jokes during practice.
The moments when everyone was exhausted but still laughed together.
The feeling of knowing you belonged somewhere.
Until everything changed.
The company made the decision that a girl couldn’t be part of a boy group.
No matter how hard you tried, no matter how much you cared about the team, you had to leave.
You still remembered that day.
The moment you realized the dream you built with them was no longer yours.
You told yourself it was okay.
You told yourself they would move on.
You told yourself you would too.
And you did.
You became an artist.
You created your own sound, your own identity, and a career completely different from the one you once imagined. Millions of people knew your songs, but none of the success could erase the memories of the people you left behind.
You still kept in contact with Woojin, someone who understood what it felt like to leave a group and find a new path. He knew what it was like to start again.
But Stray Kids were different.
Years had passed.
You hadn’t heard their voices in so long.
You didn’t know how they felt about you anymore.
Maybe they forgot.
Maybe they moved on.
Maybe you were only a memory from their trainee days.
Late one night, you sat alone in your studio, looking through old photos from 2018.
There you were.
Standing beside them.
Smiling like nothing could ever change.
You missed those days more than you wanted to admit.
You missed the people who knew you before the fame.
You missed being part of something bigger than yourself.
Then your phone lit up.
A name you hadn’t seen in years appeared on the screen.
Your heart froze.
After all this time…
The past you tried to leave behind was coming back.
And maybe this time, you would finally get the chance to say what you never could.
don't come at me! This is ChatGPTed! It's my idea tho! It's based off of goodbye by seungmin! I hope you enjoy! Start whenever.(this isn't the best comment if you want me to fix it or make another character I would be glad to I finally had motivation to do these things🥲)
