hyunsu helps you during a panic attack and comforts you.
"What are 5 things you can see?" Hyunsu asked.
"Huh?" You looked at him through your blurry vision. The tears in your eyes were blocking your vision, but you could still see Hyunsu a bit.
"It's a technique that someone taught me. It helps distract your mind and ground you," he explained, rubbing your back gently. "So, what are five things you can see?"
How did you get into this situation? Well, it started when you were stressing over University work.
Hyunsu knew you were stressed and suggested you take a break. You were grateful that he was caring about your health, but you explained that the work was too important and you needed to finish the first essay but tonight.
The due date wasn't until next week, but you enjoyed handing in your work earlier so you wouldn't have to stress about it once it was closer to the due date.
That tiny bit of stress expanded once you realized you entered the wrong prompt for your essay. You were halfway done too.
This resulted in you bursting into tears. Of course you still had until next week to finish it, but you had other essays to do as well.
Hyunsu heard your sobs and instantly rushed in.
"What's wrong?" He asked, now standing in front of you.
"I-" A sob was caught in your throat. "I did the wrong prompt for this stupid essay. I was almost done too and now I have to waste more time writing another one. I still have so many more to do."
"Hey, hey," Hyunsu knelt down, turning your chair to face him. "It's okay. I know it's hard, but it'll be okay."
"If I don't get this done, then I'm screwed." Your voice was wobbly, and you felt your breathing start to get shorter.
The panic attack was setting in.
And now led you back to where you were in the moment. Hyunsu was asking you five things you can see.
You rubbed the tears from your eyes and looked around. "Uh, I can see the table, my computer, you, the picture of us on the wall, and your slippers."
"Good," he smiled. "Now 4 things you can touch."
You looked at Hyunsu and nodded. "Uh, I can touch your shoulder, the desk again, my pen, and my knee."
"Okay, good," Hyunsu smiled at you. "Now 3 things you can hear."
"I can hear your voice, my voice, and my computer fan," you replied back. "I really need to get a new laptop."
"It is a bit loud, huh?" Hyunsu joked, you laughed a bit at his joking. "See? You're already doing better. Now I want you to tell me 2 things you can smell."
"I can smell the air freshener and your cologne. It's really nice, by the way. You should get it again." You complimented.
Hyunsu gave you a cheesy grin, making you laugh again. "Thank you. I will get it just for you. One last thing to do - what's one thing you can taste?"
"Taste?" You quickly took a piece of your mint gum - it was sitting on your desk in front of you, then unraveled it and put the piece of gum in your mouth. "My gum."
"Cute," Hyunsu nodded. "How do you feel on a scale from one to ten. One being the worst and ten being the best."
"I feel like a five." You told him truthfully. "But that did help. Thank you."
"That's okay," he responded. "Here. Come with me for a moment."
Hyunsu stood up and offered his hand to you, which you took. He guided you to your shared bedroom.
For a moment, you looked around the room at the decorations everywhere. The memory made you smile - it was when you two first moved in together.
The both of you were nervous but really excited to live with one another. To get rid of the nervousness, you decorated the room together.
There were fairylights and posters almost everywhere. There were two desks beside each other on the left side of the room which your computer sat beside Hyunsu's.
It was Hyunsu's idea to sit beside each other whole gaming. You thought it was adorable, so of course, you agreed.
The two of you would pick a game each night and play until the sun woke up. Although you would be tired, it didn't matter because Hyunsu was there.
Hyunsu was always there for you, and you always returned the same back to him.
Your boyfriend led you to your bed and sat down with you. "How are you feeling now?" His voice was gentle as his hand rubbed up and down your back.
"I feel better than before," you answered back honestly. "The anxiety is still lingering a bit, but I can get past it."
"Good," Hyunsu pressed a kiss to your cheek before quickly pulling away. "Wait- can I kiss you?"
You let out a quiet laugh, then connected your lips with his. He was surprised for a moment but eased into it. You eventually broke it. "Of course you can. We're together, honey. Kiss me anytime you like."
"Okay," he flashed you a genuine smile once more. "If you ever need to be comforted, I'm here for you."
"Thank you, Hyunsu. I promise to pay you back, okay? How about we... watch something tonight?" You suggested.
"That sounds amazing," he said. "Whatever we do, I'm just happy to be with you."
"I love you." You blurted out.
"I love you too."
