Two Worlds, One Heart A Stray Kids x OC Romance Kim-Lin Kim never believed a concert could change her life. Sure, she had always loved music, always felt a pull toward the K-pop world, but it was nothing more than a distant, glittering dream playing on her phone while she rode the crowded subway in New York City. That was until the night she finally attended her first Stray Kids concert. That was the night the borders of her world shifted. That was the night she met him. Felix Lee. The boy with the sunshine smile, the deep voice that melted stages and hearts alike, and a kindness that radiated even under the blinding spotlight of fame. The boy who saw her. Truly saw her. It wasn't supposed to happen. She was just another face in the crowd, another international fan screaming lyrics into the night air at Madison Square Garden. But fate-or maybe just sheer dumb luck-decided otherwise. After a fleeting moment near the stage and a bold, half-joking exchange of her Instagram handle, Kim-Lin never expected to hear from him. She definitely didn't expect the follow notification from @felix_straykids to pop up on her phone later that same night.

Across time zones, through exhausting schedules, and over cultural differences, their bond grew stronger, deeper, and undeniably more complicated. Because somewhere between playful banter and vulnerable confessions, friendship blurred into something more. But what happens when the fantasy collides with reality? When Felix invites Kim-Lin to visit him and the boys in Korea for five days, it feels like a dream come true-and a terrifying leap into the unknown.
