Jay's voice is comforting as he rubs his back with his good hand soothingly, telling him to focus on his breaths and Jungwon tries to match his breaths to the steady rise and fall of Jay's chest.
"This shit doesn't get any easier, does it?" Jungwon laughs out hollowly after his breathing finally calms down.
"No," Jay admits. And then softer, "You don't have to go through it alone, though."
Jungwon nods. "Thank you," he says genuinely. He doesn't say anything else for the rest of the night, but he clings on to Jay tightly.
