Trypanophobia: Extreme Fear of needles.

TW: Anxiety symptoms, Mentions of needles

Now that covid rates had gone down, kpop groups were able to have concerts and events once again. Of course, just because the rates were down doesn't mean he virus doesn't exist. This means that the groups are still tested quite frequently and have to remain very cautious during travel.

NCT were just about to have a huge world tour, hitting nearly thirty countries over the next few months. Covid preparation was a high priority for the boys, and this included all of them receiving booster vaccinations before the long trip.

This seems like a routine thing for most of them, however one member in particular was not at all ready to be stuck with a needle.

Haechan has a very severe case of Trypanophobia, he always had for as long as he could remember.

Yes, he's had vaccinations before, however it's always a disaster, the nurses have to hold him down almost every time, he even recalls passing out on more than one occasion due to his fear.

When their manager told them about their appointments, haechan's heart dropped into his stomach.

He only had three days to prepare himself for the shot. He knew that this would be eating at him non-stop over the next 72 hours and he was not looking forward to it at all.

Surprisingly, none of the members knew about his phobia. He had always kept it a secret because in truth, he was quite embarrassed about his fear. He couldn't control how he acted around needles but he knew that he didn't want his members to see him like that.

That night, Haechan couldn't fall asleep, his mind was racing as he thought of the needle penetrating his skin, he subconsciously could feel the pain of the needle, and the pressure of the syringe. It made him sweaty and a little nauseous.

He tossed around in his bed trying to think of anything else beside the vaccine, but ultimately he had ended up not getting a wink of sleep.

He was distracted all three days prior, hyper fixating on the appointment and trying to play out in his mind how he'd react.

It was 16 hours before his appointment and he was a nervous, anxious mess. He had skipped dinner and disappeared into his bedroom quite early in the evening catching the attention of the others.

"does Haechan seem off to you guys?" jaehyun asked once he was gone.

"you noticed it too?" taeyong said.

"yeah, he's been so quiet, he's never quiet." Mark said.

"has anything happened? What could he be upset about?" doyoung said placing his chin in the palm of his hand in thought.

"I don't know, he hasn't said anything to you mark?" taeyong asked.

"no, he's been pretty reserved the past few days."

"hm, that's not like him." Johnny said.

"should one of us go check on him?" yuta suggested.

Doyoung stood up.

"I'll go."

They all nodded and let doyoung disappear down the hall to find the younger.

Doyoung passed by haechan's room and listened for a second to see if he could hear anything.
