The neon lights of the city glowed brighter than ever. Nikolai Ivanov had never been this close to Stray Kids, let alone the chaotic, glittering world they lived in. Backstage, the music thumped in his chest, and the air was thick with excitement and nerves. It was supposed to be just another concert, another fan moment, but everything changed when their eyes met.
Nikolai had dreamed of this moment for years, but he never expected it to feel so real. His heart raced as he watched them—alive and electric on stage, but the moment they stepped off it, they were just like anyone else: human. They were untouchable idols, sure, but they were also exhausted, vulnerable, and tangled in their own secrets.
In the hustle of the backstage area, everything was a blur—people shouting, the clatter of equipment being moved, the chatter of staff—but it all faded when one of them, Bang Chan, caught his gaze.
It was just a fleeting second, a glance. But in that moment, the world felt smaller. Nikolai couldn't look away. A rush of adrenaline hit him hard—he'd heard of idols meeting fans, but this was different. The connection was real, intense, and inescapable.
And that was just the beginning.
The chaos of the concert was still ringing in his ears when they crossed paths again, but this time, it wasn't an accidental meeting. It was something more. Nikolai was drawn into their orbit, pulled in by something bigger than himself. Something dangerous.
What started as a backstage encounter quickly spiraled into something far more complicated. Behind the cameras and flashing lights, Nikolai discovered the raw, unfiltered sides of Stray Kids—layers of vulnerability, passion, and forbidden emotions that no one was meant to see. And the more he found out, the harder it became to walk away.
Eight idols. Eight stories. Eight reasons why he should stay far away. But the closer he got, the more tangled he became in a web of desire, loyalty, and fame.
He was just a fan. They were the stars. But in a world of glitz and glamour, Nikolai couldn't help but wonder: Could he really just be a fan... or was he already falling for them all?
The stage lights flickered, and the music played on. But Nikolai was no longer sure if he was living in a dream—or trapped in one.
