Chap 64: Panic

"Babe, aren't BTS the group Aila likes? The one you are going to go see tomorrow?"

Brian looked up from his iPad. He had been working a some new signs for a hospital in New Jersey. He looked at his soulmate. Every time he looked at her his breath would shake.

"Yeah why?"

"Well Twitter is going crazy. They just announced the rest of the U.S tour is canceled."

"What?! Let me see!!" Brian got off his seat to take the phone from Maria. Sure enough, the media was going crazy with the official statement of the cancellation of the tour. It didn't really explain anything but the fans were mad. There was just an apology for the sudden action and the confirmation refunds for the tickets were going to be given, including the one for the concert happening tomorrow.

The more he scroll through the feed, the more confused he was. He had just talked to Aila in the morning about going to see them.

Something hit him hard. He felt anxious at the situation. He reached for his phone to call Aila but it went straight to voicemail.

***

He had spent the last couple of hours trying to get ahold of his best friend but nothing was getting answered.

"Oh my God!! Baby come look at this!" He was in the living room and ran to their shared bedroom.

"Ok I think I figure out something! They had to take the guys to the hospital! All of them got rushed to Emergency earlier today." Brian took Van's phone. All of this soulmates had been more than worried for Brian.

Brian hadn't mention BTS members were Aila's soulmates. He was worried because if something happened to them, then something could have happened to Aila.

"Where do you see that!?" Brian pointed to the phone from his hand, only to see a video getting shared. He didn't really recognize the boys, it looked like them but Armies were more than sure those were band members getting rushed to the hospital.

"It looks like something happened to them. All of them had to be rushed to emergency."

Brian's heart sank. He was more than sure something happened to Aila as well. Without knowing, a tear followed by a sob escaped his being.

"Baby? What's wrong?" Van was quick to take the shorter man into his arms, trying to console him.

After many hours of crying and despair, Brian came to his senses. He needed to find out what was wrong with Aila.

"I need to figure out what's wrong with them. I need to figure out where they are staying and what happened." He pushed the arms around. He stumbled to get his shoes, not caring to change his clothes.

"Amor, you can't go like this. Why is this a big deal? It's just a group of artists. I'm sure they be will fine. Come back to bed." Maria reached out her hand, hoping to get Brian back to bed with the rest of them.

"No! No! You don't understand! I have to figure out what happened! I can't let anything happened to her! She's too important to me!" Brian's breathing started to come out fast and shallow. His body began to shake. Van and Maria ran to him, while Antônia and Nyala came right behind them.

"Brian, please calm down! You need to calm your breathing."

Whatever was being said he couldn't hear. He could only feel the anxiety beginning to cloud his thoughts. Soon enough he felt the panic.

****

"I don't understand why he would react the way he did."

It was the next day and all four soulmates had taken the day off to stay home with Brian. After the panic attack, which they were able to control, Brian fell asleep. Now it was morning. Everyone was gathering in the kitchen while he was still sleeping.
