So Straykids we're all going bungee jumping tomorrow and they were all super excited. All except Minho. In fact he was petrified. Every time he thought about jumping from such a great height he would panic. So you can imagine how difficult it was to contain his worry about tomorrow.

"I am so psyched for tomorrow!" Hyunjin squealed with excitement. "Yeah, I'm super excited!" Felix beamed. Everyone else began to share how thrilled they all were.

That night Minho could barely sleep because he was filled with anxiousness.

Minho POV

I woke up a little lightheaded this morning. I didn't get much sleep last night cause I kept thinking about what was going to happen. I was probably going to end up chickening out or passed out. Either way, by the end of the day I'm going to end up completely humiliated.

"Good morning Min." Chan said. "Morning." I replied. Could I tell Chan of my worries? He'd probably understand.

Or he'd probably make fun of you

Never mind on that thought. Slowly all the other members began to get up and get ready. I quickly took a shower and prepared for the terrible day ahead. "Okay we're all ready to go?" Chan asked as Jeongin finished eating breakfast.

The whole ride there was pure hell. Everyone was chatting about bungee jumping. "Oh it's so much fun." "I can't wait!" "It's really high..." Blah blah blah. I didn't want to be here one single bit. I should've just stayed home and said I was sick. Which isn't a total lie, my head still hurts a little.

We all arrived at the bungee jumping area and piled off the van. We had to ride up 36 stories in the air to get there. The higher we got the more scared I became. My breathing started to increase more and more and it was getting harder to breathe. "Minho are you alright?" Chan asks, probably noticing my red face and my fast breathing. I swallow and manage a slow nod. "We're nearly there." He says in a comforting tone. His words almost make me think that everything was going to be okay. Almost .

Finally after what felt like hours we arrived at the 36th floor. Don't look down, don't look down, don't look down. I repeated that in my mind until my dumb self decided to take a glance over the ledge were we were jumping from. As soon as I looked downwards my stomach did summersaults and I began trembling with fear.

First Hyunjin was going to jump. Hyunjin was always so brave and fearless. Sometimes I wish I could be more like that. The staff fastened Hyunjin belt and just like that he jumped. I closed my eyes not wanting to look. I do that as each member goes down and I don't even realize it's just me and Chan there. "Go ahead Minho." He says gesturing to the seat belt. "N-no you can go." I offer hoping that he would just go first.

"Minho is something the matter?" He asks. Now he's trying to change the subject. I shake my head quickly. "Are you sure? Something's bothering you..." He asks suspicious. I shake my head again. If I speak my voice might crack or tremble which'll make Chan more skeptical.

"Are...you scared?" He questions. I shrugged. I obviously know the answer to that though. "If you're afraid you can tell me. You don't have to do this." He replies. My eyes start to burn with unshed tears. "Hey, don't cry." He says his voice is now really soft. I hardly notice tears slip down my face. "I really don't wanna do this hyung." I sob. "It's okay Min, no one said you had to do any of this y'know." He cooed pulling me into a hug. Usually I'd deny all this mushy stuff but I really couldn't help it.

"Actually Minho-ah I'm pretty afraid of heights too. That's why I didn't do it either." He says trying to console me. "Really?" I ask him. He smiles at me then nods. I smile back at him and pull up the sleeve of my jacket to wipe my tears. "Thanks hyung." I say timidly.

So I guess today wasn't that bad. I mean, I could've gotten through it without the crying but that's okay.

Personally I have to understand my weaknesses and learn not to neglect them because everyone has a fear of something so it's nothing to be ashamed about. Ty for reading😊 and if you're comfortable sharing, what is your greatest fear?
