It had been a few days, both Easy and Slump were finished. We decided for Slump, there would be a Japanese version, Korean version and a English version. All 9 of us were in the studio recording the last few songs for the album. Chan wanted to write one last song to finish the album. I was super excited for the album to be complete but before it released, we wanted to continue and make Music Videos for some of the songs.

Also we had made good progress for the choreo with God's menu and other songs. We practised every day making  the choreo perfect to the last detail and it was coming across nicely. I was currently on the phone with our manager.

"Yes?" I answered quickly, I was on a 5 minute break from the studio.

"So we have a schedule starting from next week. For the Stray Kids comeback and your introduction, we're going to start filming the God's Menu Music Video next week." The manager said and I nodded along, putting the dates in the back of my head.

"Okay no problem, thank you. Speak later, let me know if anything changes." I said, in a hurry to get back into the studio.

"Okay, Chan knows most of the details if you need them. Speak later."

I ended the call, and walked back into the studio. Felix was currently rapping his part in the new songs and I sat by Han and watched the scene as Felix's deep voice rung out into the microphone.

"Was that our manager?" Han whispered, and I nodded in reply, "Gods Menu next week."

"I'm excited." I smiled and shook my shoulder in a jiggle which made Han chuckle. 

Felix came out of the recording studio and we cheered for him and complimented him. He shied away cutely and laughed. Next to enter the recording studio was I.N, and we sat and comfortably watched him sing his parts and make some adlibs.

The studio recording were always great fun with the 8 boys - genuinely some of the best times happen in the studios. I filmed my bits after messing around a little bit and of course had amazing screechy adlibs to make everyone laugh. I could hear Changbin laughing through the door of the recording studio.

As a group, after recording we decided to go out and eat. Although we weren't dressed beautifully, we decided to head to a richer café for some pancakes and waffles. We sat on a long table, and I was sat next to Seungmin and Lee Know. My two favourite Tsunderes. We made general chat before the kind lady took our orders.

I, of course ordered some amazing waffles with strawberries and some cream. I sat back as I watched the others talk, and I got bored so I picked up Seungmin's hand and started playing with it and reading all the lines on his palm. He let me as he talked with I.N who sat opposite us.

"Are you excited for the introduction with gods menu Kiba-ah?" Chan asks, and I turned to him, still Seungmin's hand in mine.

"Yeah. I'm excited to film the Music Video but just worried about the reception from Stays." I said, "I want them to like me."

And that was the truth. As a soloist with a bad management and hardly no friends, the most important thing to me was the people who watched and listened to my music. I wanted the new people who were seeing and listening to me for the first time to enjoy how I look or how I sound - I didn't want them to be discouraged about my arrival in the group. I didn't want them to start hating Stray Kids.

"They'll love you. Your great." Hyunjin said with a cute smile and I sent him a finger heart with my free hand. 

"I'm excited to see how you are on camera." Seungmin said and I looked at him.

"How do you expect me to be on camera?" I asked, confused.

"I think your quite shy." He said with a smile and I shook my head. How did he know?

"I can be, to be honest. I can act though." I joked and the others laughed, "I've been told by my audience that I have good stage presence but I never really used to dance at live shows because I was a soloist."

"Oh yeah, your fans will see you in a group for the first time. They'll see you dancing as well." Lee Know added and I nodded in agreement.

"I think they'll like this side of you." Felix added and I shrugged. My audience as a soloist is quite different form the audience Stray Kids have attracted. My solo songs contain swearing and dark themes which are based on my past as a soloist so I'm not to sure.

Luckily, I avoided having to explain as food came and I ate while Seungmin kept his hand in mine.
