At JYP Entertainment, the song "Back Door," their comeback track, played in the dance practice room. Stray Kids, the 8-member energetic group, sat exhausted on the floor, each member catching their breath.

"Finally... It's over..." Seungmin uttered, taking deep breaths. His white shirt clung to him, damp with sweat.

"I thought you wanted to continue practicing earlier. You said you wanted to go six times straight," teased Hyunjin while washing his face with a bottle of water placed nearby.

"What? When did I say that?" Seungmin glared sharply at Hyunjin, who quickly slid behind Changbin, seeking protection.

"Just kidding, just kidding," Hyunjin grinned.

"I think this song will be great. STAY will surely love it," added Felix.

Bang Chan, the group leader, lifted his head and smiled. "Your hard work won't be in vain. And what Felix said is true. I'm sure STAY will love it."

The mood in the practice room became more positive. Despite the fatigue, their spirits were still ablaze. They knew that a big surprise awaited them with this new song.

"But when are we going to continue? Don't say in 2 minutes again. I can't feel my legs anymore. Let's take a 15-minute break," requested Changbin.

"True. Let's take a bit longer break. Then we'll continue," suggested IN, the youngest member.

Everyone agreed, giving themselves a short break. Their practice room door opened, and their manager entered, holding an invitation letter.

The manager smiled widely while handing the invitation to Stray Kids. "Congratulations, all of you are invited to this luxurious island for a vacation as a token of appreciation for your hard work."

All members were excited reading the letter, except for Lee Know, who looked skeptical. Changbin broke the silence, "Hey, Lee Know, why that face? We're getting a vacation, bro!"

Lee Know scratched his head and said, "I don't know, but there must be a reason. Why did they choose this island? Look at the pictures of this villa. Something doesn't seem right."

Felix, always sensitive to vibes, said, "You, Lee Know, always feel like something's not right. This is a vacation, not a secret mission. Relax a bit."

However, Lee Know remained unconvinced. It took him some time to make a decision. Several days later, after being persuaded by the other members, he reluctantly agreed to go along, still with some reservations.

At BIG HIT Entertainment

The atmosphere in the BTS practice room was filled with spirit and energy. They had just finished rehearsing their latest song. Jimin sat cross-legged on the floor, fixing his sweaty hair. RM opened the practice room door, and a staff member approached him with an invitation letter. The staff handed over the letter to RM, who expressed gratitude and brought it to the other members.

"Hyung, there's an invitation from this luxurious island. They want to invite BTS for a vacation as a token of appreciation," RM said while presenting the letter to Jin, who was drinking water at that moment.

Jin read the letter with a smile. "Looks like we'll get a short break. It's good for us."

Suga, who usually tended to be less enthusiastic, commented, "Doesn't sound too exciting. But if we have to go, I'll just go along."

All BTS members agreed to accept the invitation. However, V approached RM and whispered, "Hyung, I feel uneasy. I sense something off about this island. Can't we just not go?"

RM nodded, "I feel that way too. But who knows if it's just your feelings. Besides, we haven't had a vacation together for a long time. It would be a waste to miss it."

While they prepared to go to the island, Jimin asked, "Can we bring Korean food? I miss kimchi!"

Jungkook laughed, "Jiminie, always thinking about food. But, yeah, why not? Kimchi is a must!"

BTS got ready for the anticipated vacation that promised to be a sweet memory. However, as felt by Lee Know from Stray Kids, there was something strange about the invitation. But they were unsure if it was just their feelings or not.
