The hotel suite was buzzing with the aftermath of another successful concert. Laughter and chatter filled the room as the TWICE members celebrated with snacks and games. Mina sat quietly in a corner, trying to join in on the fun, but an unsettling feeling gnawed at her. She plastered on a smile, hoping no one would notice her growing discomfort.


Jeongyeon, ever the observant one, caught Mina's unease. She gently touched Mina's shoulder, offering silent support. Mina gave her a small, appreciative smile, but Jeongyeon's concern only deepened.


As the night wore on, the members slowly retired to their rooms. Mina felt a wave of panic wash over her as she rummaged through her suitcase. Her anxiety medication was nowhere to be found. She closed her eyes, taking deep breaths, trying to stave off the impending panic attack. She couldn't let her members see her like this, not after everything they'd been through together.


In her room, Mina attempted to distract herself with breathing exercises and scrolling through her phone. But her heart raced, and her chest tightened with every passing second. Her vision blurred as tears welled up in her eyes. The walls seemed to close in on her, and she struggled to breathe.


Jeongyeon, in the adjoining room, heard the faint sounds of distress. Her heart sank as she realized Mina was in trouble. She rushed to Mina's side, finding her curled up on the floor, tears streaming down her face.


"Mina, hey, it's okay. I'm here," Jeongyeon said softly, kneeling beside her. She took Mina's hand, guiding her through deep, steady breaths. "Focus on my voice, Mina. You're safe."


Mina tried to follow Jeongyeon's lead, but the panic felt all-consuming. Jeongyeon squeezed her hand gently, grounding her.


"Breathe with me, Mina. In... and out... You're doing great," Jeongyeon whispered. She continued to talk Mina through her panic attack, using soothing words and grounding techniques. Slowly, Mina's breathing steadied, and the tightness in her chest began to ease.Once Mina's anxiety subsided, Jeongyeon made her a cup of chamomile tea. They sat together on the bed, Jeongyeon's presence providing a comforting sense of calm.


"I'm so sorry, Jeongyeon," Mina murmured, her voice shaky. "I forgot my medication and...""Hey, it's okay. You don't have to apologize," Jeongyeon interrupted gently. "We all have our moments. I'm just glad I could be here for you."


Mina nodded, her eyes welling up again, but this time with gratitude. "Thank you. I don't know what I'd do without you."


Jeongyeon smiled, wrapping an arm around Mina's shoulders. "You're never alone, Mina. We're all here for you, always."


They stayed like that for a while, talking about Mina's feelings and the challenges she'd been facing. Their bond felt stronger than ever, built on trust and understanding.


As the night grew quiet, Jeongyeon made sure Mina was comfortable in bed before heading to her own room. "Good night, Mina. Remember, I'm just next door if you need anything.""Good night, Jeongyeon. Thank you, again," Mina said, feeling a sense of peace she hadn't felt in a long time.


Jeongyeon smiled warmly. "Anytime, Mina. Sweet dreams."With that, Mina drifted off to sleep, knowing she had a friend who would always be there to support her, no matter what.
