After a series of personal and professional traumas threaten to fracture the group beyond repair, Stray Kids retreats to a quiet beach house in hopes of finding peace and healing. Away from the pressures of fame, the eight members must confront the emotional wounds they've kept buried-some fresh, others long ignored.
Broken trust, hidden pain, and lingering guilt hang heavy in the air as romantic tensions and unresolved conflicts surface. Bang Chan and I.N navigate the distance between leader and maknae as grief and affection blur the lines. Hyunjin and Felix cling to each other in the wake of violence, trying to find comfort in quiet moments. Changbin and Seungmin's strained connection bends under the weight of harsh words and regret, while Lee Know and Han wrestle with unspoken fears and the fragility of being vulnerable.
Through shared silence, raw confessions, late-night talks, and a few hard-won smiles, the members begin to stitch themselves back together-individually and as a group. As their time at the beach draws to a close, the boys must decide what comes next: return to the spotlight as who they were, or move forward as who they've become.
"The Things that Broke Us" is an emotional, slow-burn drama about guilt, vulnerability, and the bonds that hold us together when everything begins to fall apart.

"Okay."
Seungmin's eyes widened.
Did Lee Minho just agree to his crazy idea? He did, didn't he?
