Make Me STAY

Social Path

Once Stray Kids' fan meeting ended, Rose waited patiently as the crowds died down, knowing her friend Anna (BTS's soulmate) would be trying to make her way backstage. She glanced around, and her eyes lit up when she saw a familiar face.

"Rose!"

"Anna!"

The two friends greeted each other with a warm hug.

"I didn't know you were here! You didn't give me your seat, did you?"

When her friend had asked for a ticket to Stray Kids's fan meeting after failing to secure one herself, Rose had given Anna her seat.

"Yes, but don't worry. They're doing this all again tomorrow."

They started walking backstage to where the members of Stray Kids were getting ready to leave.

"It's been ages since I last saw you. How are you? Are things better with your soulmates?"

Anna's eyes sparkled with curiosity and genuine concern.

Rose blushed, a small smile creeping onto her lips.

"Yes..."

"So? The dance worked?"

Anna nudged her playfully.

"Anna!"

Rose's face turned an even deeper shade of red, but she couldn't help but laugh.

"I'll take that as a yes. Did you do 'Red Lights'? That got my soulmates riled up."

Rose groaned.

"No... Why didn't I think of that? I could've learned the choreo without asking anyone!"

"Who did you ask for help?"

For a moment, Rose hesitated.

"Hyunjin."

Anna's eyes went wide.

"Really?! Oh, wow."

"Exactly."

"What happened?"

Rose glanced around.

"That is a conversation to be had another time, somewhere more private."

Anna nodded, understanding.

"When's your next day off? You can come over. Or we could have a sleepover?!"

A familiar voice interrupted them.

"Who's having a sleepover?"

By now, they had reached the green room where Stray Kids were. The two girls looked at each other and then at Bang Chan, who stood with a curious expression. It was Anna who spoke first.

"I'm stealing your soulmate for some girl time!"

The two girls burst out laughing, which caught the attention of the rest of Stray Kids. They quickly gathered around, recognising Anna.

Felix pulled her into a friendly hug.

"Anna-Noona! Long time no see!"

Seungmin greeted her with a warm smile.

"It's great to see you again."

Changbin patted her shoulder.

"How have you been?"

Anna beamed, feeling welcomed.

"I've been good, just busy with work and all. It's so great to see all of you again."

Jisung came bouncing over with a teasing smile.

"Hey! It's our favourite Noona. How are your soulmates?"
