Into The Unknown ||Stray Kids|| ON HOLD

✧ Chapter 2 ✧

(Y/N) POV

I need to get out of this clustering house, it feels as if the walls are caving in and I'm getting bigger. It gets harder and harder to breathe, the air I breathe is becoming thicker and thicker to consume. With the little energy I have, I just change my pants to some black tights, and put my favourite black converse on. I grab my backpack and run out my room. I nearly pass out from lack of oxygen reaching my starving lungs. Running as fast as I can I get to the front door, run out and slam it behind me as I keep running to the cafe.

I don't get far until my legs give in and my lungs can't keep up so I sit down in an alley and sit with my back against a wall.  Running my fingers through my hair I just let the waterfall flow down my cheeks,  "It's been since forever since I've had a panic attack this severe..." 

I hug my knees tightly, while I'm struggling to get air into my lungs. The pain in my chest feels as if someone is taking a knife and stabbing me over and over and over again. My lips quiver, my body shakes and this is when I know I need me time. I need to myself for recovery.

I grab my phone out with shaky hands, and message Woo. I don't like lying but I don't like people knowing the real me, the depressed, sad and non-enjoyable me.

That's when I realise I have 5 missed calls from Yeji and 7 from Lia, multiple messages asking me "what's wrong?" or, "Where are you?" ....

I just ignored them and messaged Woo

Me: Hey Woo I'm not feeling to well, my stomach isn't feeling good. I won't able to make it to class, mind collecting work for me today?

Woowoo🤍: Sure will peanut, just rest up okay. We love you❤️

I just read his message and place my phone down next to me. As I look up I see I giant dog looking at me, and it instantly puts fear in me. Don't get me wrong I love animals but this dog looks too scary, it's a Doberman cross Great Dane, it's pure black and screams authority when it stares into my soul. I gulp and try to stay as still as I can as I watch it approach me.

I hiccup and it growls for a second then calms down, but I'm no where near calm, in fact my heart is racing and my mind is telling me, "Run, (Y/N)...RUN!" I'm too frozen to speak, to move or to even react but strangely the dog doesn't attack.

Another strange feature is that this dog has ice blue eyes, why does this figure look strikingly familiar? I take a few deep breathes and then build up the courage to great the beast, "Hi." Is all I could croak out in a mere second, my voice was soft, softer than a mouse yet his ears perked up as if he recognised my voice. His eyes shone once I greeted him and his tail slowly started swaying from side to side slowly.

I stare at him with wide doe eyes, of fear and fascination. "You lost little guy?" I mentally face palm myself, "Little guy? LITTLE GUY?! How is he little?"...What the dog does makes me freeze up even more, he shakes his head indicating he isn't lost....which also means he can understand me, that's normal right?

He has no collar but he looks well groomed, and well fed. A little strange, but I come up with the most craziest idea...

"Do you have a home?" I try to stay calm as I hold my hand out so he can take in my scent and know I mean no harm. The dog turns his head to the side and barks on a funny way, as if he's laughing at me. "Hey! I'm not a clown!"

I think I kind of scared him because he backed away, I instantly feel worried, "Sorry little guy, I'm just not having the best of days, I'm sorry for shouting. I want to take you home, are you willing to come home with me. I need a best friend." His reaction is probably the most best thing I've seen all day.
