Fear of crows

Niki's POV:

Ever since I was six, I've had a serious fear of birds, specifically crows. My family call it a phobia, but I'd say that's being a bit dramatic, it's not like I feel intense fear, hyperventilate, and get serious panic attacks whenever I see crows.. okay who am I kidding, I'm terrified of them. Other birds I can handle, crows are a whole other story.

The cause of this fear? Basically, when I had just turned six I had found this movie in my older sisters room. Being the child I was, I decided to watch it all alone without any permission or second thought. Bad idea.

It was a horror movie, called 'The crows are coming'. I know right? Doesn't sound very scary.  Basically the movie depicted lots of crows and other birds(but mostly crows) brutally murdering humans, eating at their brains and cut-off body parts, chopping away at the dead bodies.   It was grotesque, and traumatizing, to say the least.  Like I already mentioned, I can handle other birds, like I won't run away screaming if I see a bluejay in a tree minding its own business. But I would never in my life purposely get close to or touch a bird.

Present time.
Niki's POV:

We were in the middle of shooting something on an outside set, and I didn't want to say anything, but I was internally panicking.

I had realized a short while ago that there were crows all around the area, just watching us film. I was petrified.  I was trying to keep cool about it so we could just finish filming and get home, I wasn't trying to give any of my hyungs a hard time after all.

Sadly for my plan, someone just had to notice.

"Hey Niki are you alright?" Heesung hyung asked, concern in his voice. He had probably noticed my breathing,  "y-yeah.." Crap.   It was so clear that that wasn't true!  "Niki-ah Don't lie to me, i just want to know that you're alright."
My breathing was getting too noticeable, I crouched down and tried to cover myself with my arms, and basically started hyperventilating.

  " Woah! Are you okay? What's happening Niki?!" Heesung hyung was now beside me, his hand was around me. Desperately trying to figure out what was wrong.

By now I was having a full-on panic attack.

Heesungs POV:

Ever since a little after we had started our shoot today, I had noticed Niki acting a bit odd,  so during one of our breaks, I went to check on him.
"Hey Niki are you alright?" I asked, concerned for our maknae, He looked a bit pale, and scared, like I had just caught him, doing something secret that I wasn't supposed to see.
"Y-yeah" he responded, he was clearly lying, and he seemed oddly out of breath.  "Niki-ah. Don't lie to me, I just wanna know that you're alright" he started breathing really heavily, then he crouched down and raised his arms, trying to cover himself, and started breathing even more uncontrollably, basically hyperventilating at this point.  "Woah! Are you okay? What's happening Niki?!"     Then I realized, shit. He was having a panic attack.
I wasn't equipped to deal with this, then I remembered who was.

I remembered Jay had mentioned how his best friend in high school had anxiety, and would sometimes get panic attacks, so he knew the basics on how to help someone in that situation.

"JAY! I NEED SOME HELP OVER HERE!"
I yelled out for him, and he got over in record speed once he heard the tone of my voice.
"What's wrong Heesung-hyung?!" He said,  I just pointed to my side and immediately stood aside to give them some space.

Jays POV:

"Hey, look here! Breathe with me okay?" I started demonstrating as he tried to follow, that wasn't working too well so I tried something else. "Can you count to ten with me?" He nodded "one" "o-one" "two" "t-t-two" "three".... As he continued to count along with me I could hear his breathing calm down.  "Ten" "Ten".   Then he took a deep breath.

"Now, come on, I think he needs to go home"

Niki's POV:

When we got home, we all sat down on the couch, And I explained everything, how my deep fear of crows had disrupted our work.  Surprisingly, the members were all so nice about it. They told me they loved me and that they would make sure to take this into account later, and how they would all look into ways of easing panic attacks so they could all help me, and I started speaking to a therapist about my fear.      I'm still scared of crows, but it's slowly getting better, I'm just so happy I told them.

I love my hyungs.
