Jisung leaned forward, squinting at Stray Kids' Bang Chan, who still looked like he was processing the whole "demigod from another universe" thing. "So, what do you know about John Pork and his obsession with the sun?" he asked casually, as if they were discussing the weather.

Stray Kids' Bang Chan furrowed his brow, his eyes darting between the group. "John... Pork? The meme pig guy?"

"Exactly!" Jisung snapped his fingers, as though this confirmed everything. "We’re pretty sure he’s behind this whole ‘steal the sun’ thing, and we need to know what you know about him."

Stray Kids' Bang Chan blinked, scratching his head. "I mean, I’ve seen the memes? But... why would John Pork be after the sun?"

Seungmin, leaning on the wall with his arms crossed, muttered, "Why does *anyone* want the sun? It’s giving major villain energy."

Minho, still standing by the door, shot back, "Well, maybe it’s because he's working with someone who has a god complex."

"Guys, focus!" Jisung cut in. He turned back to the confused Bang Chan. "You mentioned the sun. Did you or anyone around you ever have weird vibes about the sun? Maybe someone named Chan?"

Stray Kids' Bang Chan squinted. "Wait... Chan? Like, your *Chan*? The Son of Poseidon, right?"

Jisung’s eyes widened. "Yeah! Exactly. Poseidon’s kid. But why would you know that?"

"I don’t know," Bang Chan muttered, starting to pace, his hands running through his hair. "It’s just... I’ve been having these weird dreams lately. Like, I keep seeing this other version of me—like a reflection in water, but more intense. And in the dream, I’m always connected to the ocean, to water. Almost like... I'm Poseidon’s son."

Changbin, now leaning over Bang Chan’s shoulder, let out a low whistle. "Well, that’s convenient. Poseidon’s son dreams about another Poseidon’s son. That’s not confusing at all."

"So, what do we do now?" Jeongin asked, pulling out his phone again, still waiting for a message from Magda Gessler. "Because we need answers, and dreaming about water isn’t going to help us stop John Pork."

"Hold on." Seungmin stepped forward, eyeing Bang Chan’s laptop sitting on the desk. "If you’re having these dreams, maybe there’s something in your files, or I don’t know, a secret message you’ve saved somewhere?"

Without waiting for permission, Seungmin opened the laptop. Everyone crowded around the screen as he navigated through folders. "What are we even looking for?" Changbin asked.

"No clue," Seungmin responded, clicking on a folder titled ‘New Tracks.’ Suddenly, music blasted from the speakers—loud, polished, and unmistakably a banger. The room fell silent as everyone processed what they were hearing.

“Uh... Chan?” Minho raised an eyebrow at Stray Kids' Bang Chan, who was now staring in horror. “Is this… a new song?”

Stray Kids’ Bang Chan nodded slowly, his eyes wide. “Yeah… it’s not supposed to come out for another two years.”

Jisung grinned, his head bobbing to the beat. “Well, congrats, it’s a hit!”

Before Bang Chan could protest, Jeongin spoke up. "Wait, wait. Look at his notifications."

Everyone’s gaze shifted to the corner of the screen where WhatsApp notifications were flashing. One of them was from a contact named... **John Pork**.

“What the—” Changbin started, but Seungmin clicked on the notification without hesitation.

A single voice message popped up from John Pork, titled **“For You, Stray Kids’ Leader”**. The group exchanged nervous glances, but Minho hit play before anyone could protest.
