❝ She didn't ask for the spotlight. Or the fame. Or the eight boys who crashed into her life like a hurricane. ❞
She just wanted a way out.

After losing everything back home, Hana Hyejin didn't come to Korea looking for a family - she came to forget one.
Walls up. Trust shattered. Zero interest in getting close to anyone.

Then Stray Kids happened.

They're loud. Chaotic. Constantly in her space.
But somehow... weirdly patient.
Weirdly kind.
And the strangest part?
They get her.

Now she's knee-deep in dance practices, late-night ramen runs, accidental heart-to-hearts, and way too many "She never meant to cry in front of them. But they never looked away." moments.

She came to survive.
But somewhere in the mess, she's starting to heal.
And maybe - just maybe -
she's finding something she never thought she'd have again.

Not by blood.
Not by choice.
But by every stupid, beautiful moment in between.
