Seoul was a bustling metropolis, its neon lights and towering skyscrapers casting a glittering reflection on the Han River. Amidst the cacophony of urban life, three young men—Felix, Seungmin, and Han—lived their days in relative peace, each pursuing their dreams with unwavering determination.

Felix, with his honey-blonde hair and deep, expressive eyes, was a dancer whose movements could capture any audience. Seungmin, known for his gentle smile and warm demeanor, aspired to be a singer, his voice a soothing balm to all who heard it. Han, with his sharp wit and creative genius, was a rapper and songwriter who constantly scribbled lyrics in his worn-out notebook.

Their lives intersected at a small studio where they practiced their crafts, bound by a shared love for music and performance. They were a trio of talent and ambition, their friendship a sanctuary amidst the chaos of city life.

One Fateful Night

It was a typical evening at the studio. The trio had just wrapped up a late-night practice session, their laughter echoing through the empty corridors. Felix wiped the sweat from his brow, a satisfied grin. Seungmin hummed a tune, still immersed in the melody they had been working on, while Han joked about grabbing some late-night snacks from their favorite street vendor.

As they stepped out into the cool night air, the streets were quieter than usual. The usual hum of traffic had diminished, leaving an eerie silence around them. Unbeknownst to them, shadows lurked in the alleyways, eyes watching their every move.

The Ambush

Just as they rounded the corner towards the convenience store, a black van screeched to a halt in front of them. The doors flew open, and masked men poured out, their movements swift and calculated.

Felix barely had time to react before a cloth was pressed over his mouth, the pungent smell of chemicals overwhelming his senses. He struggled, kicking and flailing, but his strength waned as darkness closed in.

Seungmin's eyes widened in terror as he saw Felix being overpowered. He tried to run, but two men grabbed him, forcing him to the ground. His cries for help were muffled by a rough hand over his mouth, his vision blurring as the chloroform took effect.

Han fought with everything he had, his fists connecting with one of the assailants. But he was outnumbered and overpowered, his resistance ending as he too was subdued, his body going limp as he slipped into unconsciousness.

The Dark Journey

The van sped through the city streets, the trio of friends lying unconscious in the back, bound and gagged. The men in the front spoke in hushed tones, their voices low and menacing.

"Boss will be pleased," one of them muttered, glancing back at their captives. "These will fetch a high price."

As the van drove further from the city center, the buildings grew sparse, replaced by abandoned warehouses and derelict factories. They finally pulled into an old, decrepit building, its windows boarded up and walls covered in graffiti.

The men dragged Felix, Seungmin, and Han inside, dumping them unceremoniously onto the cold, hard floor of a dimly lit room. The heavy door slammed shut, locking them in darkness.

Captivity

When Felix awoke, his head throbbed, and his mouth was dry. He tried to move, but his hands and feet were bound tightly. Panic surged through him as he took in his surroundings—a small, dank room with no windows and a single, flickering light bulb hanging from the ceiling.

He heard a groan and turned to see Seungmin stirring beside him, his eyes fluttering open. Han was already awake, his eyes wide with fear and confusion.

"Where... where are we?" Seungmin's voice was hoarse, his throat dry from the chloroform.

"I don't know," Felix whispered, trying to stay calm. "But we must stay strong and find a way out of here."

Their captors returned, rough hands grabbing them and dragging them down a dim corridor. They were separated, each thrown into a different room. The sound of locks clicking echoed in their ears, sealing their fate.

Days turned into weeks as they endured their captivity. They were subjected to unspeakable horrors, and their spirits were tested to the breaking point. But through it all, they clung to the hope that, somehow, they would be rescued.

The Mafia's Involvement

The Stray Kids Mafia was a formidable force in another part of the city. Led by the cunning and fearless Chan, they ruled the underground with an iron fist. Each member had strengths—Changbin, the fierce enforcer; Hyunjin, the charismatic negotiator; and Lee Know, the master strategist. They had their code, their sense of justice, and a strong bond that made them invincible.

When news of a rival gang trafficking young men reached Chan, his interest was piqued. The details were scarce, but the thought of innocent lives being destroyed fueled his anger. He decided it was time to take action, to dismantle the rival gang and save those who couldn't save themselves.

A Ray of Hope

Felix, Seungmin, and Han held onto the tiniest glimmer of hope in captivity. They whispered through the walls, reminding each other that they were not alone and that their friendship could withstand even this nightmare.

Felix often dreamed of freedom, of dancing under the open sky. Seungmin sang quietly to himself, his voice a balm to his soul. Han scribbled lyrics on the walls with a piece of charcoal he had found, his creativity refusing to be stifled.

They didn't know it yet, but their salvation was drawing near. The Stray Kids Mafia was closing in, and the bonds of love and loyalty that held the mafia together would soon intertwine with their fates.

End of Prologue

The stage was set. Felix, Seungmin, and Han were caught in the cruel grip of their captors, but hope flickered on the horizon. The Stray Kids Mafia, driven by a fierce sense of justice and an unbreakable bond, were ready to wage war against the darkness. And amid this turmoil, love would bloom, offering light in the darkest times.

The story of their rescue and the intertwining of their lives was about to unfold, leading them all on a journey of redemption, healing, and love.
