you tried to catch you breath more calmly after being chased by a dog and managed to avoid the dog after entered into a nearby convenient store—taking a seat near the window.
you notice how your ragged your breathe are, how fast your head and heart pounding fast as if you felt like you can’t calm down at all. you feel like breaking down at anytime.
few minutes passed, you felt like crying.
your vision becomes blur as tears stream down your cheeks along with hiccups.
you need someone to calm you down but sadly even the cashier didn’t even bother looking at you at all.
as in cue, you felt someone presence sitting beside you.
“hey, you good?” jae’s voice can be heard and you just shake your head in response, looking up to him and you felt like you have seen him somewhere
“i-i’m s-scared of d-dog and i-i’m—” you can’t finish your sentences as wave of overwhelmed emotions washed over you.
“hey, it’s okay. i’m here now. don’t worry. can you take a deep breath for me?” jae asked, assisting you with breathing exercise as he took your hands into his, assuring you that’s everything gonna be okay. with his presence beside you, you felt assured.
jae waited for you to calm down as he keeps on giving encouraging words to you—hoping it would bring you calm and assurance.
after a moment, you finally calm down. jae hand out you a water bottle for you and you gladly take it, composing yourself slowly.
when you take a good look at his face, you finally recognize the man beside you.

your eyes bulge out in shock, immediately apologizing to him.
“oh, i know you. oh my god i’m so sorry you had to see me like this. oh my god this is so embarrassing.”
“hey hey, it’s okay. i’m glad you’re okay now” jae said as he ruffling your hair slightly.
you felt touched as jae is so humble, taking care of you, a stranger from panic attack. as if a light bulb turns on, you bow to him, expressing your gratitude.
“thank you so much for helping me out. i don’t what to do if you weren’t there for me. i’m so thankful for that”
“i’m more happy to help. i understand and can relate to your situation though.” jae said, flashed his shy smile to you when he notice you stare him with amazed for quite some time. “anyway, are you sure you okay now?” jae asked
you nods your head eagerly, flashing a wide smile to him and thumbs up to show him you are okay now, thanking him again as he stand up from his place.
