On June 9th, the group had their second performance at Music Bank, along with a short fan meet and calls. The whole group had on denim pants, Summers were a lighter wash with big rips by her knees. The whole group also had the same type of red jacket on, with different stars and designs on them. Summer's was completely red and long sleeved. She had on sleeve rolled up whole the other stayed long. Underneath she had on a black shirt which had a simple text of 'dream' written in small letters and a white collar. Her shoes were all white. Her green wispy bangs fell into her eyes and the rest of her hair was left down.
"Innie!" Summer yelled with her arms out as Felix sprayed Seungmin's hair with hairspray. A cameraman was recording them for SKZ TALKER.
"Noona!" Jeongin copied her stance.
"Come here!" She yelled. Jeongin wrapped his arms over her shoulders, "I'm happy you're feeling better." He had a bright smile on his face as the cameraman filmed then.
"I am too." He hugged her as they swayed back and forth. Her and Jeongin had a brother-sister like friendship. It wasn't unusual at all for the two to just stand there hugging for a while. Summer was sad though. For some reason Jisung got interviewed almost everyday for the SKZ TALKER episodes. Due to this she didn't get to talk to him as much. Eventhough they couldn't talk much anyways just to be sure rumors wouldn't get out of hand. After the selfies and group pictures, they made their way to the performance.

She came off the stage humming the pre-chorus as she passed the camera, "Best of the best of first class!" She said to the camera before laughing and walking off to get her food. Summer sat by Lee Know, Han and I.N. She had a salad that she was gladly nibbling on as she sat on the floor in front of the table, watching the cameraman record Minho.
"You don't want it?" He asked the cameraman who shook his head. Minho just stared at him before clearing his throat. Summer found the whole interaction awkward, yet so incredibly funny. Minho was really struggling with his hamburger, but determined to eat it.
"Who struggles this much for a burger?" Han asked.
"No I'm not struggling." Minho spoke, "Everyone, how would you feel if you were on a date with your boyfriend and he eats a hamburger like this?" Summer sat there with a judgmental expression as she watched him. The camera slowly panned over to her. Jisung found it quite funny as now Summer and Minho were having another eye-conversation.
"Someone get interpreter Felix!" Jeongin called. After they laughed for a moment, they all went back to eating their food.

"It's time to announce the K-Chart winner for the second week of June 2023." Eunchae spoke, "Between (G)I-DLE and Stray Kids.
"Who will win first place?" Chaemin added, "Please show us the scores!"
Digital Singles - 3733 to 175
Airtime Frequency - 976 to 3388
Kpop Fan Vote - 7 to 2000
Album Sales - 55 to 7853
Social Media Count - 266 to 65
As it got closer to announcing the winner, Jisung moved behind Chan and bent down a bit to muffle the noises of the confetti machines. Summer, who was standing on the other side of Jisung, noticed this. She took a step closer to Chan, so Jisung was fully hidden. Chan gave her a small nod.
"Stray Kids! Congratulations!" Summer moved back to her spot after the confetti went off, giving Jisung his spot back. His hand brushed the small of her back as she moved, almost making her freeze up. "How do you feel?" Chaemin spoke. Hyunjin and I.N were each handed a bouquet of beautiful flowers.
"First of all, for this amazing speech... What am I saying?" Jeongin shook his head, "Thank you for giving us this amazing award!" As Jeongin gave his speech, Jisung, who was standing just a bit behind Summer and Chan still, moved his hand to her back. He nervously tapped a finger on her back, in efforts to calm himself down, "Thank you Stay!" Jeongin finished his statement.
"Stay, we love you!" Changbin jumped in. The group then moved to their encore performance. As they bowed to the other groups exiting the stage, Summer whispered.
"Do you need anything?" She asked.
"A kiss from you would be nice." He spoke incredibly quiet, she almost missed what he had said.
"Okay." She gave him a soft smile with a nod. She earned the same smile from him.

After they checked 'win first place' off of their to-do list, Stray Kids went to their first fan-signing event for S-Class. Now she was quite excited, however... the last fan call she was on ended up in her almost dying, so to say she was terrified was an understatement. Thankfully she had the whole in person fan sign to go through before-hand. "Hi." A girl who looked to be around Summer's age appeared in front of her. She gave Summer the album to sign.
"Hi." Summer smiled at her, "How are you doing hun?" She asked as she quickly signed with a sweet message.
"I'm really nervous." She laughed.
"It's okay to be nervous. In full honesty, I am too. What is your name?" She gave the girl her album back as she sat and intriguingly spoke with the girl for their two minutes. After her, a younger girl stood in front of her. She seemed to be a teenager, still in high school.
"Hi!" The girl flashed a toothy smile before handing Summer the album, "It's super cool too meet you. I never thought this day would come!" She jumped
"I like your energy." Summer smiled, "You seem like a lot of fun."
"That means a lot coming from you." The girl smiled.
"You're too kind." Summer blushed. After this girl's turn ended a boy came up to her. He looked to be a bit older than the girl she had just talked to.
"Hello." He spoke softly.
"Hi." Summer smiled as she looked at him, "Your hair looks really soft." She complimented.
"Thank you. I try to take good care of it." He ran a hand through his hair.
"How old are you?" She asked.
"I'm 20." He spoke, "I feel so out of place here, mostly everyone is a girl." He spoke.
"You aren't out of place at all." Summer spoke as she took a hand of his, "You're Stay, and so is everyone else here, this is right where you belong." She smiled.
"You really are so sweet to fans." His cheeks held a small pink tint.
Summer had gotten a ton of different things from fans. headbands, necklaces, stuffed animals, so much stuff. She held and wore as much as she could as the group performed S-Class for their fans.

Now, it was finally time for their video calls. Chan could tell something was up with her, well, he already knew what was up with her. He remembered seeing her only seconds after Haru appeared on her call. He could only imagine how nervous she was. She was sitting on the couch with a bottle of water before she had to go to the fan call.
"How are you feeling?" Chan sat down beside her.
"I know it won't happen again. He's in jail. I'm just getting in my own head." She shook her head.
"We're going to be closer together in this one okay? I'll be right by you if you need anything. If something happens i'll be there okay. She leaned her head on his shoulder.
"Okay." She took a deep breath. Before going to her table for the calls.
