Back to December

(A/N): Well, this story is inspired by Taylor Swift's BACK TO DECEMBER, my all-time favorite TS song.

Uhm, enjoy? Or idk lol. You know how this collection works.

Incheon Airport is jam packed more than usual when the news of Jennie Kim finally going home after almost two years of hiatus started circulating. News outlets, fans and even casuals are all waiting for the celebrity who've been travelling and jumping from one country to another without a single photo being leaked yet alone being captured. How did she do all that is still a mystery to everyone.

Blinding flashes from multiple cameras welcomed Jennie back in South Korea after so long. Being literally away from the limelight made her crawl back to her shell of crowd fear and anxiety. Jennie has never been good at handling crowd pressure ever since she debuted, she never got used to it despite all those years of glory and the growing number of fans. The noises, the humidity and the movements of the crowd felt like a cage to Jennie and those could instantly drive her straight to her panic attacks.

YG Entertainment had to hire two dozens of body guards on top of having the airport security to safely escort Jennie to the waiting van. Jennie could hear people calling her name from all different directions, she could hear one of her managers screaming at one of the fans who was so persistent to get a good glimpse of Jennie. She starts shaking and it's getting so overwhelming after two years of being away from this commotion.

Despite the crowd, Jennie felt a hand gently and slowly ushering her inside the van and instantly slides the door to a close as soon as she's fully in. Her hands are shaking, her throat is dry and her eyes are dilating — her panic attack is coming.

Breathe in.

Breathe out.

Breathe in.

Breathe out.

Jennie chanted that in her mind like a mantra, it's been a long time since she had her last episode and this felt like ten times worse than her usual.

Breathe in.

Breathe out.

"Breathe in."

"Breathe out."

Jennie didn't even notice the figures sitting close to her and also telling her to do what her mind is chanting. The only time she finally realized her current surroundings is when a hand held onto her shaking ones.

She looks up.

It's blurry.

She blinks.

She sees a smile.

She sees her mouth opening and closing. Probably saying something but her head is ringing so she can't hear a single thing.

Not wanting to be rude, she concentrates her attention to her breathing until the muffled noises are becoming clearer. She's no longer sweating, her heart finally goes back to normal beat, her hands have stopped shaking and her eyes could finally see clearer.

"There you go, Jendeukie."

"Welcome back, Unnie!"
