Familiar Strangers - Bangchan x Reader

You were childhood best friends-inseparable, unbreakable... until he vanished.

When Bang Chan left Australia to chase his dreams in Korea, he cut contact without a word. Not a goodbye. Not even a reason. Years later, you've built a life of your own as a rising makeup artist in Seoul. Professional, successful-and still carrying the ghost of a boy who broke your heart without ever dating you.

Until fate throws you directly in his path.

You're assigned to work with Stray Kids. More specifically? Him. Bang Chan. Now older, more famous, and still able to make your heart trip over itself with just one glance.

He wants to make things right. You want to forget he ever existed. But between late-night conversations, old songs, unspoken regrets-and the feeling of his eyes on you as you brush color onto his skin-you realize some connections don't fade with time. Some promises aren't so easily broken.

And sometimes... the love you never got the chance to have comes back when you least expect it.

I will try to get out an update atleast once a week but theres no guarantee so it may stretch to two or three.

There will be: Swearing, drinking, heated scenes and possibly more.
