The Wolf and The Ferret

What if Hyunjin wasn't on hiatus for four months and rather for a full year?

A fanfic about how Hyunjin went on hiatus for a full year before returning. Everyone believed and expected him not to return due to how long he had been gone. So it comes as a surprise when Stray Kids does a reveal live where they say they have exciting news and show that Hyunjin has, in fact, returned from hiatus. It doesn't take long for Stays to notice that something is different with Hyunjin though. Something off.

What has become of the relationships Hyunjin had with the other Stray Kids members? What will happen when these relationships start to change? What happened to him while he was gone? And what has changed with the usually over dramatic man?
