"Getting ready to perform," Jisung texted one day
"How we look?"
"Amazing," Sa-ling replied.
"So whose who?" She added.
"Oh, well, I'm in the middle, lol, chans on the right, and that's Changbin on the left, " he sent back.
"The ladies are gonna be all over you three lol" Sterling replied.
"☺️☺️ Thanks,"AUGUST 2017
"Hey, we've just entered the JYPE reality show. I hope we get to debut," Jisung texted early one morning.
"That's great, isn't it? That's what you wanted?" She replied back.
"Yeh, but if we don't, I don't know what we're gonna do," he said.
"If it's you 3 definitely going to win, your music is awesome. I love listening to it, " Sterling said, trying to make him feel good.
"Hey, I got you tickets to the show, coming?" He asked
"Wouldn't miss it for the world," she replied back.Later that week.
Sterling made sure to dress really nicely for Jisung. The tickets came a few days before, and she noticed he added two extra so she could bring a friend.
Her bedroom door slightly opened, revealing her friends, Kati and Ryu
"Sorry, we knocked, but you mustn't have heard," Ryu said, sitting on her bed
"Sorry, I'm just so excited to see Jisung haven't seen him in person for months," Sterling said as she put her lip gloss on.
The other girls looked at each other and smiled
"What?" Sterling asked
"Nothing, it's just you are so excited to see him," Kati said.
" He's my friend, nothing more," sterling replied, rolling her eyes.
"Sure," the girls said as they walked down the stairs.
"Have fun, and wish Jisung good luck," her parents said as the girls left the house.They walked down the street to the bus stop, all excited for the spectacular.
Once they got there, they went to the main hall and showed their tickets,
Looking around, Sterling saw posters of the groups who were performing and who were up for debut.
She didn't see 3racha there.
"Hey, I'm here," she texted Jisung.
"Sweet, give me a second, and I'll come see you," he replied
10 mins later, she heard his voice.
"Sterling," he shouted
"Squirrel," She yelled as they hugged.
"Wow, I can't believe you're here. You look amazing," he said as he broke the embrace.
"Jisung, these are my friends Kati and Ryu," she said, pointing to her friends
"Nice to meet you," he said, bowing to them.
"Oh, and it's Han now," he said
"Why??" Sterling said, confused
"Well, Han means 'one' and I plan on leaving 'one' mark on the music industry," he said, smiling.
"So, where's your name?" Sterling asked.
"Oh right there," he said, pointing to the name male project.
Before she could respond, Han said he had to run and to enjoy the show. Sterling was quite confused she thought his group was called 3racha.
As the concert went on there were a lot of talented people. Then, it came down to the final performance. Male Project. They were on fire, moving like one person, the vocals sounded so amazing, and they harmonised together.
They finished as the three girls were on their feet cheering away with the crowd, Han even saw her and smiled."Well, the time has come for one group to debut this season..and there have been a lot of contenders, but the winners are.....Male Project" JYP said. The room filled with screams and applause.
"You did it, squirrel," Sterling said to herself, and she fought back tears.
It had been almost a year since Stray Kids, as they called them selves, had debuted, Sterling watched the reality show every week. She cried when Min-ho was eliminated, and then a few weeks later, Felix But cried happy tears when they were brought back in. Their song Hellevator was so amazing, Han hitting the high notes was something different. She didn't know he had an amazing voice.
They exchanged a few texts, but she understood he was busy with everything to text every day.In Jaunary 2018, they released MIXTAPE first, which had Hellevator and Spread my wings on it. Then, a few months later, they released 'I AM NOT'. Of course, she ran out and got both copies.
"Hey, we're performing at KCON Japan next week," Han texted one night.
"OMG, that's awesome. You will have to tell me all about it," she replied back
"🫡" he replied.By August, the guys were getting ready to release another EP,'I AM WHO'. Yes she ran out and got it.
"Look what I got today" texted Han when she got home
"🥰"To Round that busy year out, the guys released 'I AM YOU'.
"Hey if your not overly busy my parents said your free to spend Christmas at ours" she texted Han.
"I'll see what management says" he replied back.
"OK, love you🤩😘"
"😘you to"
