₊✩‧₊Of middle child troubles and a very protective bestie Pt2 (Soyeon)₊˚౨ৎ˚

Hi guys, I'm backkkkk with a part 2 of that story. Yeah, it's probably confusing with the reason of why they were ignoring her ˙◠˙, but it will be explained here! •ᴗ• I know I'm not that good at angst, but try to bear with me, I just started writing this kinda stuff. This is also kinda in some of the other members' povs, but Soyeon's will be there, so don't worry!

Ignoring her members' confused yells, she wrenched open the door and ran outside, ignoring the torrential rain that pelted down on her skin. She was never going back home again. She had one thing in her mind. Find Soojin.

Soojin sighed, listening to the rain pelting on the windows of her new dormitory. The room was silent save for the sound of rain and cars outside. Silence. Something she had wanted since forever after spending time in their old group dorms. She remembered the Maknae line screeching and chasing each other around, the Unnie line sobbing at old Japanese movies, there was never a moment of peace. Still, now she was alone, and suddenly the silence seemed suffocating, pressing on her, weighing her down. What would she not give, to go back to the noisy dorms and hear her members yelling. Well, no use complaining now. You'll be alone from now on, so better get used to it. Curling up with a book, she hummed to herself as she read. Suddenly, a frantic knock sounded at the door, making Soojin jump up with partial surprise and partial fear. Sliding aside the screen door, she was started to see Soyeon, completely drenched, half standing, half crouching at her doorstep shaking and......crying? 

Without a second thought, Soojin quickly opened to door to let the shivering leader in. And that was when Soojin took in Soyeon's terrible state. She was shaking, but not in the way you would from cold. Dark eye bags lined her eyes that were filled with exhaustion and misery. The moment Soyeon stepped into the room, she instantly collapsed, shaking and crying out for Soojin. Soojin was speechless for a moment. What on earth happened to her? But judging from her whimpers and her shaking, Soyeon was on the verge of a panic attack. A bad one. Soojin quickly crouched down beside Soyeon, rubbing her shoulders comfortingly. A soft whimper escaped from Soyeon's lips, and Soojin could feel how badly the girl's shoulders were shuddering under her fingers as she traced little circles over her back, trying to soothe her. Soyeon however, was choking on her gasps, and suddenly gagged and threw up on the floor. The sight of the sour liquid slowly pooling on the floor seemed to agitate Soyeon more, and she let out a mix between a whine and gasp, her back rippling in pure panic. Soojin's heart hurt, to see her best friend in such a state. It's been months, almost a year since Soyeon had a panic attack, or as far as Soojin knew, Soyeon could have very well hidden the fact with her I'm okay mentality.

Soon, Soyeon's choked gasping died down and was replaced by quiet sniffles and hiccups. Sensing that she was somewhat calmer, Soojin lifted her onto the couch and wrapped her arms around the soaked girl, remembering with a fond smile how much Soyeon loved cuddles when they shared the room in their dorms. She would sometimes sneak into Soojin's bed in the middle of the night to get some cuddles. Stop reminiscing, Seo Soojin! Soyeon needs you right now! Focusing on the trembling girl in her arms, Soojin threaded her hands through her damp hair. "Yeonnie, do you wanna talk about it now, or later?" "L-Later" Soyeon mumbled, leaning against Soojin's chest for warmth. "Okay, but let's get you cleaned up first. You're covered in muck." It was true. Soyeon had just been sitting in her lap for like, ten seconds and she was covered in rainwater and dirt. Lifting Soyeon into her arms, she carried her into the bathroom, Soyeon clinging onto her like her life depended on it. Soojin smiled in contentment, loving how the tiny leader fit perfectly in her arms, and she remembered the way she used to carry Soyeon downstairs every morning when they shared a room. 

It was a Sunday, a rare break for everyone, and Soojin had already finished pressing waffles for everyone. She headed up the stairs to wake Soyeon, and a laugh slipped from her lips when she saw the leader sprawled across her bed, her mop of blonde hair all over the place. 

"Hi baby," she cooed, approaching the bed and stroking Soyeon's rumpled hair. A soft whine emitted from the leader, and soon an adorable yawn and Soyeon shuffled over, still lying down in bed and wrapped both arms around Soojin's waist, cuddling it sleepily. Soojin giggled. "Aw, I'm glad you're getting enough rest. My cutie. Now come on, I made waffles." She stood up, ready to leave the room, but looked back to see a sad pout on the leader's face and she made grabby hands at her fellow '98 liner, her dark brown eyes sad and pleading. Soojin had to suppress a chuckle as she walked back and picked Soyeon up, resting her on her hip like you would for a toddler. Sometimes, Soyeon really acted like the maknae of the group. 

"Aish, cuddle monster." Soojin murmured as she headed down the stairs, a sleepy Soyeon clinging onto her neck.

"U-Unnie?" A nervous whisper jolted her out of her reverie. She turned, startled to see Soyeon twisting her fingers anxiously and avoiding her gaze. Her worry intensified. "Yeah, baby? What's wrong?" "C-Can you n-not call any of the m-members? I-I don't wanna......" Soojin frowned slightly. That was strange. She might be the one Soyeon was closest with in the group, but she loved the other four members too. But she was going to respect Soyeon's decisions. "Sure, baby. Now let's clean you up, huh?" 

Peeling Soyeon's wet clothes off her skin, Soojin turned on the shower head, dousing Soyeon gently in warm water. Soyeon was sitting on the shower bench miserably, looking tiny with her hair sopping wet and clinging onto her skin. As Soojin lathered cherry body wash across Soyeon's shoulders, she couldn't help but think. What had happened to Soyeon? Sure, she was the shyest and the most easily scared in the group, but she was never this timid. Suddenly, a scream echoed around the bathroom. Soyeon.

Phew, another chapter! I'm so sorry for the long waiting time. Life has been rough. :( But I'm here, on another cliffhanger. Sorry ;) But the next update will be here soon. Love you all, bye!
