I got pared up with Xiumin, which was fine for me. I knew he likes me enough to take care of me. I was already breathing hard and the idea of going into dark tight place wasn’t best. I loved horror movies and all but I was terrified I will get stuck somewhere and die.  There was Kris and tao before us and Luhan with Sehun behind us. We got inside and I already wanted to get out.

-          I can’t do it Oppa – I said nervously.

-          You can – he gave me unsure smile. – People can get over their fears right? Come on hold my hand.

He was so cute. I entwined my fingers with him, something I have done second time today and moved forward. As per fact that Xiumin was insanely handsome and was the nicest person you could imagine, he had a little less supporters over internet that other guys. I will never understand people. As soon as darkness covered my eyes I started to panic. I could hear voices before us and behind us. I concentrated on the breathing as coming closer and closer to Xiumin.

-          Xiu opaa – I said.

-          You need to be really scared if you call me Xiu oppa – he giggled.  – Everything will be fine.

He moved my hand to his another one and his left rested on my back trying to assure me I will be fine. I could no longer see his face and the walls didn’t give us much space. It was getting worse once the ghosts were popping out of the corners to scare us. I couldn’t even scream anymore. Air was struggling in my chest with every step we placed towards the centre. After a moment I was shaking and I could tell Xiumin felt uncomfortable. Why did I agree to come here? Probabloy because of the job. I knew if I won’t be in god relation with boys it will be harder to finish this summer assignment. With ever minute the screams and laughs in front and behind us were going more quiet and it got me more on my toes. I was worried I might not be able to finish it since I will pass out at some point. And then something happened. Some dark tall figure appeared in front of me. But the worst was when that figure yanked me up from Xiumin grip and laughed. This was the point that made me run for my life. I could no longer control my breathing. I gget away from the grip and just started running towards front. I was going to faint any moment. Walls seemed to get tighter.

-          Ashley wait – it was Xiumin faint voice behind me – Tao you stupid punk.

I heard all that but didn’t understand meaning of it. I could touch the walls now even easier and I started to panic. There were tears spilling in my eyes. I hated panic attacks, they made me weak. It was something I couldn’t control. I had them in plane sometimes that’s why most times this days I was taking sleeping pills in plane or relaxation one. I was running now and crying, begging for someone to help me. Then something grabbed me again. I tried to escape the monster but grips on my wrist only became more painful.

-          Let go – I crying in English.

Then I was pulled towards the monster and my face was buried in something oddly familiar.

-          Calm down – I heard quiet voice.

There were arms wrapped around me and I was sobbing. I stopped fighting the monster when I felt hand on my neck and back making circular moves that were slowly calming me.

-          Just breathe – I heard. It was still to dark but slowly it came to me that the voice belonged to person I wouldn’t expect to receive any help these days. At the beginning yes he was nice, but recently he was irritated by me all the time. Kris scent was all around me now, but I still continue to cry.

-          Noona – I heard voice.

-          I am sorry Ashley – there was Chen with Tao or what I thought considering their voices.

-          I told you idiots not to do anything stupid.

-          I thought she won’t be scared – Tao said.

-          She is claustrophobic you idiot  - Kris hissed. – What would you do if something would happen and she would land in hospital. How would you explain that to the managers? Huh? Move.

Kris tried to move me but I didn’t want to let go of him. My both arms now secured on his back and I was focusing on his scent to not pass out. My legs wouldn’t move at all.

-          Yah are you ok – he finally said. He didn’t seem angry, more like exhausted.

I didn’t respond.

-          I need to carry you don’t I? – he sighed then turned his back around me with one swift movment pulling my arms on his neck.

Withing seconds I was lying on his back, hugging him.

-          You will wet my shirt…. Never mind you already did – he said and moved to front.

I capt the shant in my head pushing myself to breathe. I hidden my head on Kris’s shoulder near his neck. I felt a bit better, like I could hide myself. I closed my eyes now.

-          Are you alive there – Kris asked when he noticed I went quite.

-          Yes, thank you Kris – I whispered.  – You are a good guy, an awesome leader – I added a bit exhausted from all the cries.

When we I finally saw the light I didn’t let go. I could see some people running towards us asking what happened. Tao and Chen stood behind and got very interested in their shoes.

-          You can let go now – said Kris.

I tried but my legs were still weak. My eyes were red and I tried to hide behind Kris to save myself an embarrassment. Kris lower himself and put me down on a little step. I hidden my face in my hands catching up on air studying my breath.

-          Baek do me a favour and get some tea – Kris said – Just ask tea please and hand in that.

I was guessing Kris gave him some money. At this point my phone started ringing. I pulled it out. It was my best friend. I totally forgot to check on her. Someone yanked my phone off me and I knew it had to be Luhan. It was always him. He was talking to my best friend more than me. I think he explained I had a little incident just before.

-          I sorted it with her – he said handing me phone and taking sit behind me.  – Can you look at me?

-          Noona I am sorry – Tao kept saying while Kris explained I had a panic attack.

-          Look at me please – Luhan asked again and his fingers touched my chin. He forced me to look into his eyes like last time and time before. His eyes was always so distracting and his features so perfect. I was getting lost once again.

-          He is doing that again on her – Suho said from behind.

-          Who cares – added Kai – it always work.

-          Ash have a drink – from the hypnotising look of perfect Deer himself pulled me out Baek who handed me tea.

I have never thought how cup of tea can be so interesting.

-          Excuse me is she ok? – someone asked in English. It seemed it was someone working at other end of dungeon.

Chanyeol started to use broken English words when Kris interrupted and started to explain the guy that I need a moment. Xiumin, who finally came out of the dungeon was rather scared when he looked at me. I wonder how Luhan and Sehun passed by him inside and why he took so long to come out.

-          I am sorry, I tried to hold on to you but you just run away – he said.

I looked at him and smiled finally.

-          It’s ok. I am sorry guys for trouble – I said to all of them.

Lay got to my side and helped me get up. Still holding my cup of tea tightly I looked up. Sky was dark. It’s probably will be raining again soon. I checked the watch.

-          Let’s get something to eat then we will go to see the wax figures.  – I collected my voice. It finally came to me that I was no longer hangover. – I know place near there that has a nice food. But we need to take a tube again.

Boys nodded. Kris scnned me from head to toe making sure I wasn’t going to faint. Luhan was by my left side and Suho now on my right, taking place of D.O who was currently chatting to Kai.
