"Be care- oh." Jongin abruptly stops mid sentence, not quite knowing what to say when he realises that it is the person that he has fallen out with who has bumped into him. The two stand there awkwardly, not knowing what to do.
"Sorry. Not just for slamming into you, but also for acting like a dick. I didn't know that you felt that way and I'm sorry that I didn't tell you about this."
"It's alright. I'm sorry for being insensitive and yet too sensitive at the same time. I should've let you expl- actually, you didn't need to explain anyways. I understood at the time I was just- just hurt that you didn't come to me first." Jongin says, feeling the weight being lifted from his shoulders.
"You don't look so good, are you ok? You didn't get any sleep at all last night, I was wondering when you'd stop moving around." Jongin half-jokes about this, but the older knows that in that sentence there was genuine concern and worry for him.
"I'm ok, I guess. Just a little tired."
"No shit, dude. You look like you haven't slept in days. What did the cops say? Are they gonna do anything?"
"Uh, no. They said that they have no suspects and so they are waiting for something to happen. I told them about everything else but since I di-don't have anything on my phone, they had no evidence anybody was actually stalking me or us." Kyungsoo sighs, rubbing his hands over his face.
"I just want this to be over. Each day I feel like I'm only waking up to see what comes in the mail, if they've made any threats about my family. Each day I feel like someone's watching me, and I've been told to keep my mouth shut."
"Ok, and now what's happened? Obviously something big because I could hear you puking in there." Jongin says, pulling the smaller closer to him in an embrace. Kyungsoo's hands fist the back of his best friend's hoodie, and he can feel his eyes beginning to burn with tears.
"They're watching me, Jongin. They're watching me and they know. They know I told the police. I-I we aren't safe anymore." Kyungsoo begins hyperventilating, his hands trembling, pupils blown with fear. Jongin frowns, panicking at the situation at hand. Never has he seen anyone so stressed out and he is scared that the older will pass out.
"You've got to calm down. Look-look at me. Look at me. Breathe through your nose and out through your mouth." Jongin grasps his friend's face, making direct eye contact as he tries to calm Kyungsoo.

"What happened?" Yixing asks Jongin as he enters the dorm. Kyungsoo is upstairs in his shared room, trying to calm down on his bed.
"He had a panic attack. I've never seen anyone so scared in my life, Xing. It was terrifying." Jongin speaks, lips trembling and eyes swimming with tears.
"What happened?" Yixing repeats, although this time asking for a different answer. Jongin pulls at his bottom lip with his teeth before grabbing the older's arm and pulling him to the living room. Jongin closes the door as Yixing stares on confused.
"He got a new message. He said that they're watching him. Apparently we aren't safe anymore." Jongin finishes, eyes gazing into the older's.
"Do you think that it might be due to a lack of sleep that he passed out and it could be influencing his thought process? Or maybe his fear is getting the better of him?" Yixing suggests, picking up his phone and searching through Google.
"I don't know, maybe. But he seemed so terrified. Like he actually thought that somebody was going to jump out and murder him or something."
"We can't let manager know about this. God knows what would happen and our comeback is only a few weeks away. Let's just wait until then and see what happens."
"Are you crazy? Wait for what? For him to burn himself out with the comeback and filming and shit and then for him to have another breakdown? This is nuts." Jongin just about bursts with anger, raising his voice to show that he isn't happy with the older's idea.
"What if all of this is a hoax? A stupid little prank by saesangs to scare us? Come on, Jongin. It wouldn't be the first time. I know about the letters, but no real action has been taken out and it has been almost five months since this started. Surely if this were a real threat they would've done something by now, right? We have nothing to worry about, Soo's only overreacting. Once we calm him down, everything will be fine." Jongin nods, not knowing who to believe. When the rest of the group make it back, Yixing prepares dinner as Jongin sets the table.
"Where's Soo?" Junmyeon asks, picking Segun's jacket up off of the floor. Sehun shrugs his shoulders a little in a silent apology.
"He's upstairs. He's not feeling well." Yixing explains without fault, and the others instantly believe him.

Baekhyun goes upstairs to fetch his friend. He knocks on the door before entering.
"Hey, Soo. How you feeling?" He asks, sitting next to his friend on his bed. Usually Kyungsoo would playfully push him off or glare at him, but today he just looks so tired. Kyungsoo only sighs softly in response.
"What's going on? You haven't been you for a little while now. We are all worried, everybody has noticed. We just wanted to give you a little privacy before asking because you generally like to solve things yourself. We can help, you know." He takes Kyungsoo's hands into his, slowly pulling him so he is sitting.
"Nothing is going on. It's just-" He cuts himself off. What should he say? He's lied so many times already. Would Baekhyun feel the same way that Jongin did seeing as they are really close too? He might as well tell him, right?
"Go on." Baekhyun nods, encouraging the other to tell him about his stresses.
"You know the window thing that happened a few weeks ago? Well, it's sorta to do with that. I've been getting letters which contained threats that if I told anybody about them threatening me, they would hurt as and my family too. I kept it a secret for almost three months, but I couldn't do it anymore."
"So then this has been going on for three months? Why didn't you say so before? We could've helped you!" Kyungsoo shakes his head.
"It's been going on for five months now, but I had to tell somebody, so I told Minseok, Yixing and Junmyeon. Then I told the police during the night of the window smashing. The person messaged me earlier today and said that they've been watching me and know that I've told the police." Baekhyun's shoulders drop at the information as he instantly hugs the other.
"What should I do?! The police can't do anything without evidence, I'm scared of getting you guys hurt if they find out that I've already told you. Maybe, maybe I should try and get them to do something-"
"No. That's stupid and you know it." Baekhyun says, deadly serious and glaring holes into his friend for conjuring up such a stupid plan.
"Listen to me. The police need evidence, right? Then, let me get their evidence."
"At what cost, Kyungsoo? One of us? Your family? You? No. Absolutely not. You're being delusional if you think this is going to work. Besides, who knows if they are serious or not. Don't piss them off, they seem serious. Promise me. Promise me you won't do anything fucking stupid." Baekhyun demands.
"Ok. I promise." Kyungsoo says hesitantly. He sighs as Baekhyun leaves the room and jumps when his phone chimes.
