It was the first concert of their Maniac Tour and they had started it in Seoul, filling the Jamsil Indoor Statium with more than 15 thousand STAY. Their latest album had been a huge success and they were finally able to preform live after the pandemic hit. The reunion with STAY was emotional. Stray Kids had so much to give, and their performance was explosive.
When it was time for the ending speech, everyone looked to their leader, but he signaled for the others to go first. One by one they thanked STAY for their patience, love and support. When his kids had said what they wanted to, Bang Chan lifted his own microphone. STAY started chanting "best leader", making it impossible for him to be heard. He felt the nervous feeling in his stomach grow and looked over to Felix to see if he was ready. The younger gave him a smile through teary eyes, nodding slightly. This was it! The final piece of the puzzle!
Bang Chan braced himself as he lifted the microphone once more, and the chanting finally subsided. "Dear STAY, thank you for coming to our concert today. We have missed you!" The cheering was loud, even through his earplugs. "As I told you on Channie's room last Saturday, I finally have a special someone in my life..." Together they had decided to let STAY know in sections, starting with his weekly vlive. Felix had agreed to not reading any comments on last weeks broadcast, but the comments had largely been positive. Now it was time to reveal who that special someone was and that Felix was off the marked too. Anyone on the marketing side of k-pop would have a heart attack presented with the idea, but Chan was determent to not hide anymore.
"Dear STAY, please take good care of the love of my life... Lee Felix!" The stadium roof probably lifted a few millimeters by the air flow accumulated by the shouts coming from 15 thousand mouths screaming as one, when Felix ran into Chan's arms and kissed him. It was all part of Chan's own strategy. Any STAY with delusions about him or Felix would drown out in the ocean of real fans. He cared for them all, and could only hope that any heartbreak was soothed by the example of other STAY capable of rejoicing for them.
Felix kept crying happy tears – he just couldn't stop. Embraced by his boyfriend he felt the love and support radiating from their fans. When he said "I love you" to Chris STAY went ballistic again and Felix cried even more while Chan tried to wipe away his tears.
Then Jisungs voice was heard over all the shouting. "I know we didn't talk about this, but fuck it... Minsung is real!" He yelled out the last part, before he ran over to Minho and jumped into his arms. Minho caught him effortlessly with his strong arms, and gave him a mischievous grin. "We are?!" he asked with his eyebrow raised, but Jisung just slapped his shoulder. "Stop that, and show them you love me!" The two kissed and all hell broke loose. Stray Kids' favorite ship was sailing!
As soon as the roar from their fans started to die down a little, Changbin spoke up. "I sure feel single right now." Hyunjin started laughing and picked up his own microphone. "Dibs on Inni!" Their maknae looked at the two in disgust, but when Changbin and Hyunjin started stalking towards him his expression turned to pure horror. Their little baby started running, but had nowhere to go. Finally Seungmin took pity on him and said he could hide behind him. "I'll protect you, Innie." Changbin and Hyunjin cracked up from their baby's expression crouching behind the main singer's back.
Now everything was out in the open. From now on, everybody knew that Stray Kids consisted of 8 friends and that there were two committed couples within the group. People might argue about which boy band was the best in the forth generation of k-pop, but there was no doubt who was the most unique group. That position undoubtedly belonged to Chan's family – Stray Kids!
