NCT 24th male member

the worst moments

Not proofread

It's been almost a year since Merlin came to NCT. He became more confident and he acted like he was in NCT since 2016. He was also getting lots of love from fans. Of course, there were some hate comments, but Taeyong taught him not to read them.

He and YangYang also became closer. They weren't official even though they were already confessed to each other. To other members, it's a little confusing, but they don't want to push them.

All these things were good but there was one bad; Anxiety. Well, you see, Merlin had anxiety since he started middle school and it wasn't a new thing to him but this kind of anxiety he never felt before. When he was younger he was just out of breath and sometimes he had attacked but now it has become more and more extreme. He was shaking and out of breath on a normal basis. His attacks became a daily thing. His condition was worse than ever and sometimes he couldn't even get it throughout the whole day without having at least one attack.

Members became serious about his anxiety (I mean, they were serious before but now even more) and didn't let him be alone. They made a special code; if Merlin had an attack, he would just call a member, doesn't matter who, and if he felt like it was coming he would text a blue heart to group chat.

So here are two worst times that he had an anxiety attack.

Jaehyun

Where are you?

Merlin

Dorm, living room

Jaehyun

Taeyong

If you need you have Aki's fav food in the kitchen

Jaehyun

OK, I'm coming Aki

Jaehyun ran as fast as he could. Merlin was possibly going to have an attack. He pushed the elevator button as fast as he could. He got in. As soon as he was on the 5th floor he ran. (For the sake of the story let's say he had a key for the front door) He opened the door and rushed to the living room. He saw an out-of-breath and shaky Merlin on the floor next to the sofa. His heart broke looking at him. He got closer to him and did the same thing that the therapist said to do.

„Ok, Aki, wiggle your fingers." He said looking at Merlin.

Mirlin did what he was ordered to. He was still out of breath and was shaking like crazy.

„Ok, now, tell me what is your favourite TV show."

„Uh..my-my-my favourite show is-is My Ho-Holo Love" he said shaking and taking a deep breath in between.

This went on for some time until Merlin finally had stable breathing and wasn't shaking. Jaehyun was happy that the maknae was finally fine. He wanted to get up from the floor but he felt a pair of arms hold him back. He turned around.

„Thank you hyung." Said Merlin hugging him. He smiled and hugged back.

127s were in the practice room and taking a break. They were dancing for the past few hours. Merlin was somehow keeping up but it was hard for him. Every time his breath became unstable he would just wiggle his fingers. This time that wouldn't help him.

All the members were talking and drinking their water. Merlin was sitting on the floor and his breath became more and more shaky. His whole body started shaking and he couldn't control it. Taeyong turned around and saw Merlin's condition. He already knew what was going to happen. He went to the said boy and tried to help him. All the other members also noticed the younger one having an attack. Haechan and Mark stopped joking and other members just watched the younger.

After some time Merlin finally calmed down. He was always so thankful to his members.

And those are two worst anxiety Merlin moments, folks.

Hayooo everyone. Just to clear things up; I do not have anxiety, my sister has. This moment was based on her attacks. I don't know much about anxiety so I am sorry if I wrote something that might offend you. 

Anyway, hope you enjoyed it.

Bye
