Nayeon x Reader- Stay, Stay, Stay With Me- Complete!

Chapter 1

Hiii. Just so you know, I am very new to Twice. As in I became a Once within the last couple weeks and am still in the process of listening to their discography for the first time and getting to know them as people. So, if the girls are out of character, I'm sorry. And please be kind in the comments. This is my first x reader, and I'm mostly just writing this for fun as I am in the process of getting out of a very bad place mentally. Anyway, that's all I think you need to know ahead of time, so here's the story.

"Stay with me."

As the song ended, Y/N paused her Spotify and took her phone out of its holder. She had already parked and taken her keys out of the ignition. There was no excuse to stay in her car any longer, but she still hesitated, loosing a heavy sigh.

She knew this was what she needed. She knew she needed help, and this was the place to get it, but she couldn't help it- she was nervous! She was an introvert and had no idea how she was going to do in groups instead of one on one therapy.

But she had to get out eventually- so she did just that. She headed into the building, pausing for a moment in the hallway as she tried to recall the way to the program's office. Thankfully, she found it without much difficulty. There wasn't anyone there, except faculty in their own individual offices, so she just scurried to one of the tables in the break room.

It was an effort pulling a chair out from underneath the table, but she managed and promptly sat down, practically folding in on herself as she did. Her anxiety wasn't too much worse than expected, but it had still spiked, so she closed her eyes and practiced some square breathing.

Inhale for four seconds, hold for four seconds, exhale for four seconds, hold for four seconds, and repeat.

Once her heart had stopped pounding in her chest, she pulled her phone out of her purse, plugged her headphones in, and put her kpop playlist on shuffle. There were still about twenty minutes until their first group, so she might as well just close her eyes and try to relax.

Chuu's "Heart Attack" breathed all of the positive energy into her body, and she almost didn't notice when someone sat down across from her.

"Excuse me?"

Y/N glanced up and was surprised to see a smiling girl setting her backpack on the floor and folding her hands on top of the table. She was pretty- not in the stunning bombshell kind of way but in a more soft one. She was interesting. She had a gummy smile, and her two front teeth were slightly big, making her kinda look like a bunny- in a good way.

"Are you listening to kpop?" she asked, pointing at the other girl's phone. Normally, Y/N would have hidden her phone away and pretended like she didn't know what she was talking about, but, before she could, this girl said, "I love kpop! Who's your favorite group?"

Y/N paused and started to chew on the inside of her cheek, a nervous tick. Was this girl serious? Could they really have anything in common? "I really like Twice," she murmured underneath her breath.

"Twice?" the girl asked, leaning forward like she wanted to make sure she heard her right. "They're my favorite too! God, their latest Korean comeback, "Feel Special"- what an anthem. I wasn't even over "Fancy", and then they did that."

She shook her head, then rested it on top of her hand. "You seem nervous," she commented- just like that, without a care that she was completely calling her out. "It's not gonna be as bad as you think it is. We're not just the physical embodiments of depression or substance abuse or whatever problem it is we're here for. We're actually a pretty fun bunch- really."

More people started sitting down, and the girl reached over to give Y/N's hand a squeeze before turning to a burly man who also struggled to get his chair out from under the table. They started talking about how their weekend was, and Y/N just sunk further into her seat.
