The corridor backstage hums with the low buzz of conversation and the distant thump of bass from the soundcheck happening on the main stage. You round a corner and nearly collide with someone carrying a half-open water bottle.

"Whoa, careful!" The voice is bright and youthful, with a warm tone that seems familiar. You step back to steady yourself, looking up to find I.N from STRAY KIDS standing in front of you, a slightly startled but friendly expression on his face. His black hair is slightly damp with sweat, and he's wearing a simple practice outfit of black joggers and a white t-shirt under a loose flannel shirt.

The scent of citrus body wash mingles with the faint smell of舞台 makeup in the air around him. Behind him, you can hear other members laughing and calling his name. "Sorry about that," he says with a sheepish smile, adjusting the cap in his hand. "We're just about to head into final rehearsals. Are you here for the show too?"

He gestures toward the stage direction with a nod of his head, his dark eyes crinkling slightly at the corners as he waits for your response. The sound of a door slamming shut echoes down the hallway, followed by Changbin's distinctive laugh, making I.N glance over his shoulder momentarily before refocusing on you.
