Make Myself A Legacy (Another Stray Kids Member)

Look Back At The Crossroads (With Non-Idol Friends)

When are you all free? I can plead for at least an hour to meet.

Even if he does cancel the most, in the last seconds, it doesn't mean he's the least present. He does his best to cross paths with Twice on schedules so he could catch a glimpse of Mae at her element. The girl whose finesse was for painting expressions and stories through performers. Each and every makeup she did was phenomenal in its own right. Likewise, she passes by his backstage rooms if she can. Or at least makes sure that his makeup artists treat his skin with utmost care. Not because he was an idol, but he was human and their job was not to cover imperfections but to make performers feel their character more on stage.

Shiro was once exclusively for Labyrinth Hub but they didn't wish to cage him when he had the full capabilities to build his own shop. But the man himself always loved working with the company still for they provided a place for his growth. And even if he does spend most of his time in Japan, his "extra" clothes are sent to each of his friends, and sometimes even for the whole group of Stray Kids. Extra masterpieces? Yet at the same time, each sends him a remembrance of home. From Leon, it would be his poems that inspire the lyrics he writes.

Shiro's best friend? Ian stayed with Labyrinth Hub, and his dedication to the company itself had given him the position he deserves. He was now marketing manager, and face representative of LH Asia, allowing him to visit the other vast lands of LH, and have his face as the cover of the company. Always traveling, always on the go, and always with an offer ready to take, that was him. The man was easily named as the most initiative among them, always active in their SNS. With this, to reach out to him was not that hard, and gifts as long as left in his office, would be received. One thing though the man was a fan of, was calling Leon back to LH for his "needed" consultation on decisions.

Another of their friends, Yara, who was in the business part of the world was solely leading the family company. It might have not started from her own hands but the progress it has right now is rightfully under her leadership. She might've been quiet about those things but they knew how much she gives to uphold their legacy. To not lose anyone valuable, and discard opportunities that contribute to true downfall in disguise of money. Leon was not well versed with the business aspect too much, but economically he does have insight. So he does his best to give her updates or his interpretations on the market status of countries she needs help with. While she continues to fund and partner with a place he treasures as well, LH.

Another shocking news to the world once announced except for the friends, and their colleagues. But the marriage of Asian director Xiang and CEO Yara had paparazzi all over them. Giving them a hard time with staying anywhere, Leon decided to give his help by giving them one of Labyrinth Hub's safehouses. As mentioned, Xiang had been successful in his future. His short films that were once unnoticed, now had millions of views because they were the free works of Director Xiang. To see him give life to movies, and tell stories of many things, one of which is his friends' hard work in each one's area, was so beautifully told.

And Aerum? Leon wasn't too close to her until the year 2020 had given her the chance to be back with them. But it was fine for the years of unknown because their hearts were ready. So he took time to know her once again. For her to introduce herself to them. Aerum decided not to form her own business but to help support businesses that advocated for worker's rights. She might not have what others would call theirs, but her service was one of the most starlings among many.

They were all thriving. And they were all still friends. It might not be a dynamic ideal to most but it fitted theirs. As long as communication, effort, and love were present.

JYP Cafe. Tonight at 8 pm.

'These are the best set of friends I could have in the path given to me. And I wouldn't wish it to be any other way.'

Really, there of all places? I think you guys miss me too much. But count me in.
