Jimin was having nightmares again. Luna had left him, and he'd lost Tae again. He creased his eyebrows when he dreamt of Tae ignoring him, and despite his screams, he couldn't hear him. It's as if he didn't want to. Jimin woke up in a start, breathing heavily. His face was matted with sweat, and tears.

His hands shook as he picked up his phone, to call Tae. Tae was really sleepy so he woke Luna up to pick the call up. "Hello?" She asked also feeling sleepy. "I-is Tae there? I think I'm h-having a panic attack." Both Luna and Tae rushed to his house to see him on the floor, face red as if he couldn't breathe and tears stained throughout. Tae instantly called his therapist and he carried him to her office.

Luna was worried for him. Tae told Luna that ever since his parents got divorced he's had these panic attacks, and that he mostly would have had a nightmare about it and to calm down but how could she calm down? He was her best friend she was bound to worry for him. "No, I'm staying with you." "Baby-" "No. I won't listen to anything. I love that dude Tae, and I'll feel responsible if something happened to him." Luna teared up and said. Tae sat beside her holding her hands. "You know none of this is your fault right?" "Tae, I haven't told you something." "What?"

Till then Jimin's therapist came out and called Tae in.

*Flashback*

Jimin confessed his feelings for Luna to her and was pretty scared. Luna noticed his fidgety hands, his nervous eyes, and the way he constantly bit his lips, so she put her hand over his, and pecked his cheek. "I know." She said, to a blushing Jimin, as she got up and went to the door. As she reached the door, she looked at him and said, "Why didn't you come first Jiminie, why. Things would've been way different if you'd come first." Luna smiled sadly and left his room, only to make him feel like a stupid person for having anxiety. He so wanted to go first, wanted to hug her and smell her hair which he knew would smell like coconuts, and peck her cheek, but he couldn't. He couldn't do that because he was always an anxious kid, and right now, he hated his anxiety. He hated himself.

*Present time*

Luna stood, impatient, waiting for Jimin to awaken. She prayed to God that he would be alright, she had never seen him this low. Yeah she knew he was suffering from anxiety and had frequent panic attacks, but she had never seem him like this. Her eyes teared up, and till then Tae came from the ICU. "He's stable." Luna left her breath that she had held from so long and cried bitterly. Tae held on to her, not knowing the reason behind her breakdown, but always being there for her.

"It's okay jagi, he's fine. He's still unconscious, he'll wake up by morning. You should get some sleep, there's college tomorrow." "No, I'm n-not leaving J-Jimin alone. N-no." Luna just hugged him tight as she passed out from the exhaustion.

She woke up the next morning in his room. She woke up with a massive headache, and sat on the bed for some time. Till then Tae's mother came in his room with a tray filled with breakfast. "Oh, you're awake? Good morning Luna." Mrs. Kim smiles at Luna as she cringes at the sunlight; Mrs. Kim opened the curtains.

Mrs. Kim sat on bed next to her, and put her hand over her thigh. "I understand why you must be worried for Jimin, Tae called me and told me everything. He was there for you when your mum passed away."

Mrs. Kim was the only person who called Luna's mistress her mum, cz she was there for her when no one else was. Literally.

Luna thought about that moment and teared up. She had been sick, and when she had a heart attack, Tae was abroad for a basketball tournament. Jimin helped Luna then. He took care of her, cooked for and fed her, and cheered her up. He went to school with her the first week, basically did everything with and for her. And for that, she's really grateful to him. She was glad that Jimin was her best friend then, and he followed through the responsibility of a true friend. He would check up on her afterwards too, and Luna had to tell him that she was okay now.

This was when Jimin fell for Luna even harder, looking at her innocent face, watching her sleep, that was everything for Jimin. He really wanted her to be happy, and he wanted to contribute as much as he could.

"Luna, you know how much Tae thinks about you right? How much he cares?" Mrs. Kim brought Luna back to reality with that question. "Of course I do." "Yeah..." "Why would you ask such a thing?" Mrs. Kim paused, and looked at Luna. She smiled and shook her head. "Nothing, I just asked because I understand that sometimes it appears as if Tae isn't there for you but he really wants to be. And I see how much he loves you and wants to take care of you." Luna smiled and held her hand and said, "Eomma, I love Tae with all my life. I could never forget him. He's the reason I survived." Mrs. Kim smiled through her tears and patted her hand and left her room, leaving Luna alone.
