When you left later that night, your chest was tight and Rex was pressed to your side looking up at you. Your soulmate's number sat in your contacts list with a red heart by his name, courtesy of him as well as the name that was in the phone. He had put 'Your Knight in Shining Armor' with the heart to follow. And for the most part he was your knight in shining armor, after you had found out he was your soulmate, your anxiety wasn't as active. But now that you were apart, your hand that held your camera was clinched to your chest and your breathing faltered.

"Are you okay?" Alexa asked you, shooting a look over toward you.

"Yeah, I just feel so overwhelmed all of a sudden." You breathed out, knuckles nearly turning white against the hold on your camera. "I mean between meeting my soulmate and the rest of the group...it just feels all too...too much, I think."

Alexa turned to fully face you now, your breathing hitching in your throat as she spoke. "Hey, Y/N, breathe."

And you really tried to do as instructed but you felt your chest tighten and then Rex was jumping into action. His body was jumping up to you, trying his best to get you to the ground, which you did go down to after a minute of persuasion and Alexa's help. Rex's head was in your lap, his head nuzzled into your hand as you slowly came undone.

"Hey, Bestie, I'm right here for you." Alexa dropped down next to you pulling your upper body into a hug. Your body was stiff and you were trying your hardest to catch your breath.

"Can we go out to eat instead of take out?" You vaguely heard the voice of the baby of the group walking out of the building. "I really wanna try this new place that opened up a few days ago. It's this little Italian place that's had a lot of great reviews."

"That sounds good."

"But I wanted take out." Han whined.

"You want take out," Minho laughed softly. "How about a brick, I hear they're very reliable when taking someone out."

"You..." The boy had just raised his hand to punch the other but his movements stopped upon spotting you, Alexa and Rex all on the sidewalk. The rest of the group paused around him as they heard your choked sobs, you hadn't even heard their conversation or if you did it wasn't enough to bring you out of your attack.

"Alexa." You sobbed. "Help me..."

"Hey, come on." She urged. "Focus on me, okay? Let's get you out of your head, just listen to my breathing, yeah? Try matching it, okay?"

You shook your head trying to focus but you couldn't find it in you, you were panicking too much and even Rex wasn't much help at the moment.

"What's going on?" Han whispered, making Alexa look up to see the boys.

"She's having a panic or anxiety attack." Alexa's voice cracked. "It's hard to tell which one but she's freaking right now."

That caught the attention of the man who had just been walking from the building, Bang Chan immediately pushing past the boys and toward you. He knelt down on the other side of you as he spoke. "Hand her over to me."

Alexa looked between the two of you hesitantly at first, before nodding and handing you over to him. Taking you in his arms, Chan gently pushing Rex away to spin you around to have you wrap yourself around him. He was sitting down now, your legs wrapping around him in a straddle as his hands found your face.

"Baby girl, I want you to look over at Alexa." He told you in a soft whisper, Rex's nose nuzzling into you as you found yourself staring to the side. Through your blurry eyes and rapid breathing you managed to find your best friend, Chan's voice continuing in your ear. "Now that you see her, tell me what is the first thing you notice about her?"
