It was around 2am when I woke up to the sound of my ringtone. It was Jisung, I knew almost instantly.

I have different ringtones for everyone. I answered, yawning.

"Jisung, it's 2am-"

"I know."

"Are you okay?"

"Yes."

"Is it an emergency?"

"No."

"Then why'd you wake me up?"

"I can't sleep. Can I come over?"

"Now?"

"Yeah."

"Fine. Just come through the window, it's unlocked."

"That's not safe."

"Well then lock it when you come in. I'm going back to sleep."

I hung up the phone, placing it on my nightstand, and attempting to go back to sleep. I was half asleep when the window opened, and then shut and locked.

Jisung crawled into my bed and I turned to face him.

"How was your date?" I asked.

"Bad. I didn't like her at all. My parents were pissed when I told them." He mumbled.

"I'm sorry. Is that why you couldn't sleep?" I asked.

"No. You had something to tell me earlier. I couldn't go to sleep without knowing." He replied.

I sighed. "It was nothing."

"Jihye. What was it?" He said sternly.

"I have anxiety." I mumbled.

"Is it bad?" He asked.

"It could be worse." I replied.

"Why didn't you tell us sooner?" He asked.

"I didn't want to worry you. It's not horrible, I mean it only really showed up when I left, and then it was really bad, I was having panic attacks like once a week, now it's nowhere near as bad. It only happens like once a month now." I said. "Today it was just acting up. I'm sorry."

"Don't apologize for something you can't control. I'm sorry I didn't notice." He replied, kissing my forehead. "Now go to sleep, you have to get up in a few hours."

I nodded, turning over and curling into a ball.

When my alarm went off, Jisung was taking up 3/4 of the bed, with his legs spread out. One arm was on his face and the other sat on my head. I giggled to myself, getting up to change.

I got ready in the bathroom then came back to see Jisung already dressed, spinning around on my wheely desk chair.

"You're going to get dizzy. Stop." I said, stopping the chair.

"I was having fun." He whined.

I rolled my eyes, making sure I had everything in my backpack.

"Can you make me lunch?" He asked with puppy dog eyes.

"Fine." I replied, I only agreed because I still had to make mine.

I went to my kitchen and started putting together the lunches, and within 10 minutes I was done.

"Jihye! Seungmin! Time for school!!!" Namjoon shouted from his room.
