It was a chilly evening as Stray Kids prepared for another fansign event. The venue buzzed with excitement, echoing the energy of the fans who eagerly awaited their turn to meet their idols. As the members of Stray Kids took their places at the long table adorned with posters and markers, the atmosphere was electric.
Chan, the charismatic leader, couldn't help but notice the anticipation in the air. As he looked over the crowd of STAYs, he felt a warm sensation in his chest. It was a mix of gratitude and admiration for the fans who had been supporting them relentlessly.
As the fansign began, the members greeted each STAY with smiles and engaged in lively conversations. Chan, in particular, took his time with each fan, making sure to connect with them on a personal level. He listened intently to their stories, laughter filling the air as they shared special moments. When the fans kept coming, there was one girl who got his attention. She was sitting away from everyone, and didn't make a tiny effort to come to them. And she looked a little scared.
Chan nudged Minho by his shoulder and asked him to look at her. Minho whispered that he found it strange too. As the two hyungs were debating whether to help her, Jeongin was already on it. He stood up and asked his manager whether he could do it. When he got a positive response, he walked to her.
(the letters in bold are in Korean and the normal ones are in English)
"Hello, are you okay?" he asked her. She stood up abruptly. She bowed and said - "I am sorry I don't know Korean."
"Its alright. Are you okay? Need any help?" he asked her.
"Its nothing..., I just have a phobia of being left alone and my friend brought me here but I'm unable to find her. I have Monophobia and - THERE SHE IS" she exclaimed and ran to hug her friend. The girl turned to Jeongin and said - "Thanks for being kind"
"What's your name?" he asked to the girl he'd been concerned a while earlier about. "Kyra" she said, her face flushed with embarrassment.

"You are embarrassed of me? Is that why you left me alone on the streets and drove away with your boyfriend?" Kyra trembled, talking to her friend on the phone. Her friend - Shreya - scoffed - "Isn't it obvious? My bias - Jeongin was with you. And you embarrassed me by hugging me! You probably told your pity story about how you became Monophobic"
"You left me on the street! And it is scary in here" Kyra trembled. "Please Shreya, please take me home..."
"You mean MY home? Well my boyfriend is moving in. And you aren't welcome to stay here anymore. Well deserved."
"Shrey-" Kyra realised she cut the call. She dropped on my knees and started crying. She was alone, scared and with no place to live. Heck - she didn't even have a job. She wasn't in her homeland too - she was in Seoul, Korea! She was an Indian!
Her heartbeat started speeding up and her breathing became troubled and shallow. She closed her ears and tried to focus on her breathing. Her body gave up as her legs wobbled and she fell unconscious on the sidewalk.
Jeongin pov-
Jeongin and the others were on their way to their dorms when suddenly he saw a figure slumped down on the sidewalk. Chan noticed it too, he stopped the car and said - "Isn't that a girl?"
"Must be some homeless woman" Hyunjin guessed. Jeongin shook his head - "No...no it is Kyra!"
Jeongin jumped out of the car and ran to the unconscious figure. Kyra was lying there, her eyes peacefully closed, her handbag open with most of its contents outside. Her phone was outside too, with a broken screen. The other 7 came to Jeongin and kneeled around her.
"Kyra...Kyra are you okay?" Jeongin said shaking her shoulder slightly. She didn't stir. Chan ran back to the car and returned with a bottle of water. He splashed some water on her face which made her stir. Her eyes fluttered open.
"Kyra...its me Jeongin. Are you okay?" Jeongin asked, making her sit.
"W-Who are you?" she asked in a baby voice. Jeongin looked confused - "Me. Jeongin. We met at the fansign"
"What is - what is a fansign Jeo-Jeon-" she struggled to say his name. "Innie." she completed. "Jeonginnie" she said and chuckled.
"Kyra..." he said. Why are you behaving like a little girl?
Changbin took a step forward, with all the makeup he looked scary to her. She stood up and took a step back in fear, but tripped and fell down again. Felix came forward and helped her stand up again.
"Kyra is scared" she said as her voice started to tremble.
Kyra, you sound a lot different than how you did at the fansign.
"Of who? Changbin?" Felix asked pointing at him. "He is sweet"
"Really?" she asked him.
"Kyra baby, how old are you?" Minho asked coming forward. He knew that she was behaving like a child and wanted to approach her that way.
"Kyra is five" she said as Felix hugged her. Chan's eyes widened - "Age regression?"
"Kyra...do you know where your house is?" Chan asked her. Kyra shook her head - "Kyra...never...this place before"
"Kyra baby" Jisung said coming closer and patting her head. "You remember where your house is?"
"I KNOW" Kyra got excited. "Street 2, 34 house, Hyderabad"
Broken address. But made one thing clear - the girl didn't know she wasn't in India.
"Kyra, you wanna come with us? 8 brothers" Hyunjin said. "Scared..." she said still in Felix's hug. She looked at Felix's face and said - "Blue hair!"
"Yeah...blue hair....nice right?" Felix said.
She nodded, smiling.
Jeongin exchanged concerned glances with the rest of the group. It was evident that something unusual had happened to Kyra, causing her to regress to a childlike state. They were faced with the responsibility of helping her, especially since she seemed disoriented and unaware of her current location.
Chan took charge of the situation, realizing that they couldn't just leave Kyra alone in her vulnerable state. "Alright, Kyra, you can come with us. We'll take care of you," he reassured her.
"Chocolate?" she asked.
"Yes, Channie will buy you a lot of chocolates" Chan said patting her back.
As they walked back to the car, Jeongin noticed Kyra inspecting the surroundings with wide-eyed curiosity. It became increasingly apparent that she was indeed experiencing a form of age regression, and they needed to handle the situation delicately.
Once they reached the car, they made space for Kyra, who sat in the back seat between Felix and Jeongin. Despite her confusion and fear, she seemed to find comfort in Felix's presence and his distinctive blue hair.
The journey to their dorm was filled with a mix of tension and curiosity. The members discussed among themselves, trying to piece together what might have caused Kyra's sudden regression. However, there were more questions than answers.
Upon reaching the dorm, they guided Kyra inside, where she continued to look around with childlike wonder. Struggling with her bag, she handed it over to Changbin, who took it with a gentle smile.
"Okay, Kyra, let's try to understand what happened," Chan said, leading her to sit on the couch. The other members gathered around, exchanging glances and preparing themselves for a unique situation.
Jeongin decided to approach Kyra cautiously, kneeling in front of her. "Kyra, can you tell us the last thing you remember before... before this happened?" he asked, his voice gentle and reassuring.
"Mummy was out...with daddy." she said.
The members exchanged knowing looks. It was clear that Kyra was somehow transported to a different mental state, one where she believed she was still a young child.
"And police came home...and told Kyra that....Mummy and daddy went to heaven..."
