It was past midnight once we had gotten home from our debut countdown live. In all honesty we had all had so much fun with it, and had just enjoyed every moment of it, and felt the nervous feeling of us finally hitting our debut day, together. As for now it was home to sleep and then when we would wake up again we could have a media showcase which was our official debut performance, our debut showcase had been filmed a week ago, so that wasn't actually live.

I had been one of the last to get to bed, as I had taken a bit longer to get ready for bed. In reality the reason I had taken so long is because I had stayed up a bit longer to write an individual letter for each of the boys in hopes of giving them some energy for our showcase tomorrow. I had walked to the bags they had all packed tomorrow and hid the letter in each of them before going in to sleep, where I had quickly fallen into a deep sleep.

I don't know what had happened in my sleep, I just know I woke up with a loud gasp before sitting up right only to be pushed back down again as I were breathing heavily.

"It's okay bubs, calm down," Sunghoon whispered to me as he laid a hand on my shoulder.

"Why is this boy so hard to wake up?" I could hear Jake hiss from somewhere in the room.

"Just slap him," Sunghoon looked over his shoulder before looking back at me as I looked at him with wide eyes, "how are you feeling?"

"Confused," I admitted to him.

"We didn't know if it was an anxiety attack you were having or if it was nightmare," Sunghoon excused, "Jake woke up from it, and woke me up too."

"I'm sorry," I muttered to him and he just softly patted my shoulder.

"No, no. It's fine, we're in this together, remember?" he softly asked and I nodded at him, "just take deep breaths. We're working on getting Jungwon woken up, so he can sleep here, in your bed. To make sure you don't get a nightmare or whatever it was again."

"He needs sleep," I shook my head at him.

"I got him," Jake hissed at that very moment as I could hear Jungwon's confused mumbles through the darkness, "it's Jiyeon," Jake whispered and I immediately heard rustling and footsteps on the floor.

"What's wrong with Ji?" Jungwon's voice had become clearer in an instant as Sunghoon looked over his shoulder into the darkness. 

"We weren't sure if it was an anxiety attack or nightmare," Sunghoon whispered to him before stepping down from the edge of Niki's bed and disappearing into the darkness himself before I heard him mutter something to Jungwon.

In a matter of seconds I could feel a weight dip down in my bed and lay down beside me as I was immediately pulled into a warm embrace that pulled itself under my covers as well.

"Are you okay?" Jungwon whispered and I nodded at him, "you sure?"

"Yeah, I didn't even know I was acting up," I assured him with a nod making him hum.

"I'm gonna sleep here, okay? Just in case," he pointed out and I nodded as I made myself comfortable in his arms as well, "try and get some sleep," he urged and pressed his lips to my forehead.

"You too," I muttered and he nodded at me.

"Don't worry, I sleep better here than in my own bed," he sheepishly assured me making me let out a breathy laugh, as I tried to stay silent for the boys, "the anxiety is getting better, right?"

"I think it reached it's peak that morning," I nodded at him as I silently drew patterns on his shirt on top of his chest.

"Good," he sighed and pulled me into a tighter hold, "promise to tell me if it acts up or if you feel like an attack is gonna come."

"I will," I nodded at him.

"I'm serious Ji," he sternly reminded and I simply nodded at him.

"You tell me when things are wrong too," I reminded him and he nodded, "I can at least reply that gesture, don't you think?"

"It would be very much appreciated," he nodded at me, "now sleep. We both need rest."

I hummed in reply and clutched onto him making him let out a silent laugh before tightening his grasp around me as well, before silently muttering something to me, making me snap my head to look up at him.

"Did you say anything?" I questioned him and he just shook his head.

"Just had to remind myself about something," he assured me, "don't worry about it."

"Okay," I silently nodded before returning my head to where it laid before and nuzzled my head into his shirt before slowly letting myself drift off to sleep.
