My superhero Woozi x Reader

chapter 22

Jihoons POV
------------------

Beep

i let out a deep sigh. Why must i worry so much? i tried to shake the anxiety that started to brew inside my head. I can't start thinking like this right now, I need to get this work done...

but what if something was wrong? what if something happened and she's keeping it a secret from me? 

without skipping a beat, anxiety flowed through my veins and the fear began to fester in my mind. "I need to go check on her." the words flowed out of my mouth with no thought or warning. As quickly as i could, i packed up what i had in the studio, panic racing my mind. Do i have everything? phone? journal? leftovers? yep, i have everything, now i need to go before its too late.

My footsteps felt heavy with every step i took. Everything felt slow, like i was in a movie. Is this what its like to have an anxiety attack? my lungs felt like they were going to collapse at any second and the walls felt like they were caving in on me. I have to make it to y/n. I have to make sure shes okay. The walls seemed to twist and turn the more i moved forward. Will i be able to make it in time? "Jihoon? are you okay? do i need to call security? you look pale! why don't you take a seat." that voice.. it sounds familiar... Turning my head felt like i had weights on either side. it was just the receptionist. "no.. i'm okay... i have to get home.." my voice was barely a whisper, almost inaudible. "i'll call a limo driver right away." She always was sweet. Her hair was thin and black, it almost looked like string. Her face was pale and childlike despite her being in her mid 20s. Her eyes were big and a dark chocolate color, they were mesmerizing but unnerving at the same time. She almost looks like a skeleton if you squinted your eyes and was far away enough. She is what most would call 'The ideal Korean Girlfriend'. 

"jihoon? youre ride is here." Her soothing voice pulled me out of my thoughts. I no longer felt like i could feel the whole world moving beneath my feet. I put my hands on the sides of the chair for leverage, my legs felt like they could give out any second. I stood for only a moment to gather my bearings. "Do you need some help?" She tried to reach for my belongs to carry to the car. i tried to move fast but everything felt heavy, like i was being suffocated. "no... I can handle it.. i just... need.. to go... see her..." invisible chains hung from my ankles as i stumbled my way to the door. My lungs felt even tighter, the world started moving again and the building was shrinking. Am i drunk? Did my food get spiked? 

The limo driver opens the door for me as i stumble over my own footing and fall into the car. I prompt myself up with my elbow and immediately took a sharp inhale. My lungs reflated, causing me to go into a coughing fit. Each inhale caused me to cough more and more. With each cough, my chest grew tighter and tighter. With each bump, stop, and turn, caused more and more pain. I'm getting closer. Once the coughing stopped, i was stable enough to sit up and look out the window. Everything looked like a spiral. Nausea filled my stomach. Why won't this stop..

"Mr.Jihoon. We've arrived." The limo driver opened the window to check on me. My eye lids felt heavy and could only see through half opened lids. "thank you..." I grabbed the door handle and it was the first moment i realized how weak i truly felt right now. I clenched my teeth as the tears rolled down my cheek. I have to be strong for her. shes so close. you can't give in now... I shakily got out of the limo, it took me some time to find my balance. The chains around my ankles felt heavier than ever, my whole body is filled with dread. you're too late Jihoon. Its all your fault something happened. You should've been here sooner. Every step got heavier the closer i got. Everything felt like it was happening so slow but also so fast, before i knew it, i was at her front door. I lightly grabbed the door handle, ready to open the door when it all came back again. she's gone. it's all your fault. I clenched the door handle, with whatever strength i had left. Its pathetic, how weak i am in this moment. I pushed open the door and find only darkness to greet me. "y/n? are you still awake?" my voice cracked on each word. I slowly entered, closing the door behind me and taking off my shoes. I brushed my hand against the wall, looking for any light switches. "aha, there it is" i flicked the switch on and the room illuminated with such bright lights. instinctually i flinched and covered my eyes. once my eyes got used to the light i saw y/n on the couch, curled in a mass of blankets. The tv was off and her phone was on the floor. Relief rushed over me, the spinning and nausea began to subside and things started to feel normal. I let out a light chuckle. shes okay...

I got closer to the couch and lightly shook her shoulder. "y/n, Wake up princess." I tried to keep my voice hush and low, i don't want to startle her. Eventually i saw her stir in her sleep, followed by a light groan and covering her face. "whaaat.." she whined. I couldn't help but let out a light giggle. "Y/n, lets go to bed, okay?" i began to rub her back, trying to wake her up some more. "Jihoon...? what are you doing here..? i thought you were busy at work..?" she slurred. Her voice was higher than usual and almost sounded like a baby, i couldn't help but just laugh at it. It was adorable. "I got worried about you, i wanted to come and check on you." I gave her a soft smile and she slowly uncovered her face and gave me a very tired smile. "you didn't need to... i'm okay... i promise..." her voice started trail off with each word, i could tell she was starting to fall asleep again. I rolled her over and put one of my arms under her legs and the other one under her arms, resting her head on my chest. As soon as i stood up straight, she immediately curled up like a pill bug. Slowly i made our way to her bedroom and i laid her down as softly as i could. I pulled her blankets up over her and laid down beside her. Her blankets were soft and warm, immediately putting me at ease. I pulled her closer to me and i rested my head on top of hers. "get some sleep baby.. goodnight.." i whispered, followed by a small kiss on her forehead. 

I guess i really was worried over nothing...

A/N; soooooo heyyyy, it's been a long long time hasn't it? 2 years i think. Anyways, i have not given up on this fanfiction. Now, i'll be real, i've been out of the kpop community for a couple years now. So, i am so sorry if i'm not including the other members as much or this doesn't seem accurate. It's been a hot minute, but i will continue to try my best to keep this shit going. I'll try and do some more research on Woozi from the past couple years and on Seventeen. 

thank you <3
