"Hey, do you guys have practice today? Because I'm free," I asked as I sat in the studio. I just finished recording a song and was hanging out with Tabitha and Reign. "Well, I do have to make a choreography for this boy band called Stray Kids," Reign replied, looking up from her phone. "Who are they?" Tabitha asked, having never heard of them before. "They're a group that sings, dances, and raps," Reign explained. "Can we come?" Tabitha asked eagerly. Reign nodded and checked the time on her phone. "Let's go now," she said, grabbing her Marc Jacobs bag and heading out of the studio. Tabitha and Ki'liyah followed her and climbed into her black Jeep Wagoneer.

Later

Reign drove her car into the Dunkin' Donuts drive-thru, the smell of freshly brewed coffee wafting through the air. She rolled down the window and greeted the worker with a smile. "Good morning. May I please have 12 iced coffees and a dozen donuts?" she asked politely. The worker nodded and punched in the order on the register. Tabitha, who was sitting in the passenger seat, couldn't help but exclaim, "DANG HOW MANY OF THEM IN THE GROUP?" Reign chuckled at her friend's reaction and replied, "Umm about 8, if I'm not mistaken," before driving to the next window to pay for the donuts.

After paying for the donuts, they drove to the next window to pick them up. The worker handed Reign the box of donuts with a smile and said, "Have a nice day." "Thank you, you too," Reign replied, grabbing the box of donuts and placing it on the passenger seat. She then proceeded to the JYP Building, where they were going. As they arrived, Reign parked the car and turned off the engine. She grabbed the 12 coffees, the condensation on the cups made her fingers slightly damp. Tabitha grabbed the box of donuts, the sweet aroma of sugar and dough filling the car. They walked into the building, ready to share their treats.

As we walked into the building, a blast of cold air greeted us before we made our way to the reception desk. "Hello, we're here to practice with Stray Kids." Reign said to the woman. The woman nodded and led us to the practice room. As we entered, we saw eight guys talking to each other. Their conversations stopped as the front desk lady told them something in Korean. One of them nodded to the lady while she bowed down 90 degrees. She then left. "Hi, you must be the dance teacher right?" A man with a heavy Australian accent approached Reign, extending his hand.

The man had black hair, pink lips, and a slightly larger nose than average. He was muscular and a bit shorter than the other guys, but still taller than the rest of us. "Oh yeah, I am. My name is Reign," She said as she shook his hand. "I'm Christopher, but you can just call me Chris," he added, still holding her hand. They maintained eye contact for a while. Tabitha and I went to nearby chairs and sat down. "Okay, so we're coming back with a new song called LALALA. We needed some help with the dance moves," Chris said, letting go of her hand. The rest of the group was a bit quiet. "Can you play it for me, please?" Reign asked. Chris nodded and asked another guy in the group to play the song in Korean. He nodded and played the song. We all listened attentively. Their song gave both phonk and afrobeat vibes. Reign was trying to think of a routine, so she stood in front of the mirror. The rest of the guys were watching her. One of the guys walked up to Reign, also trying to find a dance routine. "My English isn't good, but I was thinking for the chorus, we should maybe do something with our hands?" he asked.

The man among them was the tallest, with long black hair, light pink plump lips, and a mole near his left eye. He also had monolids. Reign looked at him for a while, but then quickly looked away and nodded. "I was thinking that too. Maybe something like this," Reign said, gesturing a wave with her hand. The guy nodded. "I'm Hyunjin," he introduced himself, putting out his hand. "I'm Reign," Reign shook his hand, maintaining eye contact. I observed, aware of her two crushes. Reign cleared her throat and let go of his hand, also breaking eye contact.

Aella and Tabitha were quietly giggling when we noticed a group of guys watching us. Meanwhile, Hyunjin and Reign were still brainstorming some dance moves. One of the guys from the group followed them. He was tall, muscular, and had a unique face that gave a mix of a cat and a bunny. He also had reddish-brown hair. "Hi, my name is Minho. I liked your idea. I was thinking that after the wave, we could take a step back," Minho suggested as he demonstrated the move. Reign and Hyunjin nodded in agreement, liking the idea that Minho had proposed. They continued practicing while we watched them.

Later

"Shall we pass the donuts and coffee now?" Tabitha asked. I agreed, so we got up and started walking. The guys were sweating from their practice. The first person we approached had chubby cheeks, resembling a squirrel, and seemed to be the most introverted member of the group. "Here you go," I said as I handed him the iced coffee, while Tabitha opened the box of donuts. The guy looked up and showed a small smile. "Thank you," he responded softly. We nodded and moved on to the other guys.

There was a man in the room who was of average height. He had blue hair and freckles all over his face. His lips were pink and plump, just like every other guy in the room. Tabitha gave him a donut and coffee with a smile on her face, and he smiled back as he softly took the donut and coffee.

The other guy had black hair with blonde highlights in between. He wasn't short either. His cheekbones were well-defined and he had some dimples. The guy also had some muscles like every other guy. "Thanks," we were all shocked when a deep voice came out of the blue-haired guy. The two guys chuckled at our reactions. We were still surprised as we walked to the next person. Tabitha and I gave a donut and a coffee to a guy. "Here you go. Hope you enjoy it," Tabitha said while handing him the donut. "Thank you," the guy replied with a smile. He was shorter than the rest of the group, with a muscular build, chubby cheeks, and black curly hair. His lips were plump but small, and his legs were a bit thick.

We all nodded and walked towards the last person standing in the corner. As I approached him, he watched me closely, scanning me from head to toe. I took out a donut and a coffee and handed them to him, saying, "Here you go, hope you enjoy." He continued to look at me before gently taking the donut and coffee and saying, "Thank you," with a small smile that revealed his braces. His smile made me smile too. I observed him for a moment, noticing that he was tall with black hair and blonde highlights in the front. His lips were pink and plump, and his face reminded me of a puppy. I couldn't help but notice how cute his braces made him look. I blinked and snapped back to reality, smiling at him before walking away. Tabitha followed me, giggling.

While we were walking, one of the guys started talking to another guy who resembled a fox in Korean. When we sat down, we noticed the guy in the corner and the guy he was talking to, staring intensely. "Damnnn," Tabitha exclaimed in a high pitch, observing the guys' gaze. I made eye contact with the guy who resembled a puppy but quickly looked away. To distract myself, I checked my phone, forgetting about the moment.
