[Stray Kids]
Felix needed more money, and busking in other Districts isn't enough. When he was running away from thugs that wanted to take away the money he earned from busking, Chan came to save him, but also made a deal with him that can be both beneficial and risky for Felix: to race in Acceleration.
Acceleration is a street racing event where teen and young adult males gather to either race, watch or bet on their favorite racers from each hierarchy. Everyone has a place in the heirarchy, those in the bottom, or more known as those who suffer poverty, are runners, the middle tiers are those on bicycles, the high tiers, or those known to be rich, race using their cars or motors, those who watch and gamble are those who are at the top, heirs to billionaires, CEOs, politicians and royalty of South Korea, racers liked to call them The Gamblers. Every race must have two participants per team, and the last five racers to finish all laps will be punished severely by men called The Dispatchers.
Felix didn't know that he'd be into something that would make a great change into his life.

"You broke me once, Hyunjin. Don't you dare make me love you again."
Felix and Hyunjin were inseparable-until their families tore them apart. Forced to break up under the weight of parental disapproval and idol image pressure, they walked away with broken hearts and words left unsaid.
Now, years later, fate (and a cruel PR stunt) brings them back together for a month-long variety show. Sharing a house with the other Stray Kids members and living under the camera's glare, the walls they built begin to crumble.
Hyunjin's jealousy is impossible to hide when Felix laughs with someone else. Felix, in turn, can't ignore the fire in Hyunjin's gaze that says, I never stopped loving you.
But love isn't simple when the past still cuts deep-and when parents, careers, and unspoken feelings are waiting to tear them apart all over again.
Will they keep pretending they're fine for the cameras? Or will this forced proximity be the final push that either destroys them... or sets them free?
