Mission IX; you okay?

"Yes, I'm okay," (Y/n) replied softly, her voice revealing a hint of sorrow. Namjoon could sense the pain that lingered in her eyes, despite her attempt to conceal it. He approached her cautiously, offering a comforting presence.

"I can see that something is troubling you," Namjoon said gently, his tone filled with empathy. "If you feel comfortable, remember that I'm here to listen, (Y/n). Sometimes sharing your thoughts and feelings can help alleviate the weight on your shoulders."

(Y/n) looked up, her eyes meeting Namjoon's understanding gaze. The sadness in her expression spoke volumes, and she realized that confiding in him might bring some solace to her wounded heart.

Opening up about her terrifying past wasn't going to be easy, but she knew Namjoon genuinely cared for her well-being. With a deep breath, she began to share her story, letting the vulnerability flow from her words.

As (Y/n) spoke, Namjoon listened attentively, offering gentle nods and reassuring words. He empathized with her pain, understanding the depth of scars that haunt long after the darkness has passed. He didn't interrupt or judge; instead, he provided a safe space for her to unburden herself.

After pouring out the fragments of her story, (Y/n) finally finished. A sense of relief washed over her as the weight of her past started to lift, even if just a little. Namjoon reached out, offering a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"I'm so sorry you had to go through such a horrifying experience," Namjoon said, his voice filled with genuine compassion. "Remember that you are not alone now. We are here for you, (Y/n), to support and care for you in any way we can."

(Y/n) managed a faint smile, grateful for Namjoon's kind words and sympathetic nature. Though healing from the trauma would be an ongoing journey, she felt a glimmer of hope knowing she had someone who truly cared about her well-being.

Namjoon stayed by her side, providing a sense of strength and understanding. Together, they would face the darkness, knowing that healing and growth awaited on the other side.
