Monday came around again, bringing Taeyong out of his warm comfy bed with a blaring alarm. He groaned and turned it in snooze, cuddling back up into his blankets and nearly falling back asleep.

Until his mother came in.

"Taeyong sweetie time to get ready for school!" she exclaimed, opening his curtains and shaking him a little bit. He sighed and sat up, rubbing the sleep from his eyes and letting the adjust to the brightness of his room. His mom scurried out as fast as she came in, the door closing behind her. Taeyong yawned and slowly pulled himself out of bed and went into the bathroom to pee, brush his teeth and fix his hair before throwing on some random school appropriate clothes. He made his way downstairs for breakfast which was already sitting on the table for him. His usual two over easy eggs and two pieces of toast with a glass of milk to go with it. He sat down and before eating he grabbed the two pills on his napkin and popped them in his mouth, washing them down with the milk.

For years now Taeyong has been taking two pills before breakfast every day for his anxiety, keeping it at bay so he could go through the day and not have an attack. But sometimes he still did, and they were always terrible.

He started to quietly eat his breakfast, seeing that he had some time to kill before he had to leave. His mother was upstairs probably getting ready for work. Yeontan was outside. It was a calm morning thankfully. Something Taeyong could handle. So far there was nothing that could set him off.

Twenty minutes later his teeth were brushed and he was done getting ready. He silently made his way to his mom's car and got in the passenger seat, patiently waiting for her.

"Sorry honey. Are you ready?" Ms. Lee, Yeri, asked. Taeyong only nodded and continued to look out the window.

Finally he was making his way up the school steps with his headphones in while other students rushed past him. He wasn't as excited to rush into the school. He knew Yuta would find him at some point.

Soon he made it to his first period. No one else was there thankfully. He decided to take the seat in the very back and sat down, waiting for the bell to ring.

His phone buzzed suddenly. He looked down, wondering who it was.

Yuta_Puta: hey where r u?

Kitty_Yong: how did u find my instagram?

Yuta_Puta: don't question 😂 so where r u

Kitty_Yong: in our first period

Yuta_Puta: dude we still have so much time before class

Yuta_Puta: meet me in the cafe at our table

Kitty_Yong: fine be right over

Taeyong sighed and started heading over to Yuta.

He made sure his volume was all the way up before going back into the loud crowded hall of teenagers. Taeyong walked quickly with his head down, hopefully going unnoticed. He was nearly to the cafe when someone grabbed his shoulder and slammed him against a locker. He was completely scared when he looked up at the boy who pinned him. He was so tall! And looked so scary...

"Newbie huh? You know what we do to fresh meat around here..." the boy said, grinning mischievously. Taeyong's body shook under the taller's grasp as his headphones were yanked from his ears and tossed onto the floor. The boy then grabbed Taeyong by his jaw and pulled his face closer to his. His eyes started filling with tears as he tried to pry himself away from the scary dude, but he was too frail. Too weak.

"Hey, leave him alone!" someone yelled from across the hall. The tall boy smiled and let Taeyong go before turning to where the voice came from.

"Ah, Jung Jaehyun is it? What the hell do you want?" The tall boy asked. Taeyong grabbed his things and took his opportunity to book it. He cried to himself as he ran the rest of the way to Yuta, and when he saw the younger he ran straight into the boys arms. Yuta was surprised at first but accepted it nonetheless, patting Taeyong's back.

"What happened?"

"Fucking Johnny is what happened. Never leaving anyone alone," someone answered from behind Taeyong. Yuta instantly went frigid, his grip tightening on the older.

"What do you want Jung," Yuta asked.

"To see if Taeyong's ok. Is that fine with you? I was the one who saved the poor innocent soul."

Yuta rolled his eyes and started to loosen his grip on the older, but Taeyong wouldn't have it. He was inwardly freaking out, his anxiety going haywire. His heart was pounding a million times a second and his mind was racing. He needed to go to the nurse or he would have a complete panic attack. He held onto Yuta tight, his breath coming out too fast and too shallow.

"Taeyong, hey are you ok?" Yuta tried to look at Taeyong's face but it was buried in his chest. He became extremely worried, making even Jaehyun worried.

"Tae. Taeyong are you ok?" Yuta asked. He was starting to get nervous. He had never seen Taeyong like this.

"T-take... me... t-to the... nurse," Taeyong managed to push put between gasps. Yuta nodded his head and led the boy to the front office once he finally let go of him. Jae decided to stay behind for now wanting to give them space. He felt jealous though for some reason. He just brushed it off and headed to class.

"Um excuse me Mrs. Jennie I need help," Yuta said to the school nurse. She immediately jumped up from her chair when she saw Taeyong and took action. She grabbed his hand gently and helped his lay down on the bed and told him to close his eyes and breath in and out slowly. His breath finally slowed and he started to calm way down. His heart wasn't pounding as hard. After a few minutes he was completely calm and was able to open his eyes.

"How are you feeling?" Mrs. Jennie asked. Taeyong sat up nervously and didn't meet her gaze.

"Y-yeah... I-I was just scared a-and when that happens I go into a p-panic attack instantly..." Taeyong mumbled shyly. Mrs. Jennie just smiled and patted his head.

"Well how about you two get to class. Don't want to get in trouble for being late," she suggested. Yuta stood and thanked her before slowly and gently grabbing Taeyong's hand and leading him out of the office. Once they were in the hall he let go and walked alongside the silent boy until they made it yo their first period class just before the bell rang.
