Story plot: The staff thought it would be a great idea to go bungee jumping before their debut. When Hongjoong found out about the plan he freaked out. But the staff decided to play a voting game on which 3 members will have to jump. Nobody, besides Wooyoung knows that Hongjoong is afraid of heights. Eventually he gets picked out and panic starts to rise while Wooyoung is focused on making his boyfriend feel okay again.

The staff didn't tell them anything about the plan they'd come up with. They were told to get in the van and that they would follow in another care right behind them.

"Where do you think they're taking us?" Hongjoong asks as he looks at Wooyoung. "I have no idea. Maybe an amusement park? Or the zoo?" "I would love to go to the zoo!" Hongjoong smiles and Wooyoung kisses his cheek softly. "I would love to go to a zoo with you baby." Hongjoong blushes and quickly covers his face with his hands.

"Don't look away! It's cute when you blush." Wooyoung chuckles as he wraps his boyfriend in his arms. "You're tired hyung?" Hongjoong nods and Wooyoung places a soft kiss on the top of his head. "Get some rest. I'll wake you up when we arrive to wherever they're taking us okay?" Hongjoong nods as he slowly drifts off to sleep.

"You know, I'm still so happy that you two finally managed to confess to each other. You make such a great couple." Yeosang says and Wooyoung smiles. "Thanks Sangie. I'm so happy about it too. It just feels like my life is more complete now that he's really mine."

As they get to the place, Wooyoung knows where they're at and he knows that Hongjoong is not going to like it. "I'll wake him up. You guys can get out we'll follow." They all nod and get out.

Wooyoung sighs as he tries to wake his boyfriend up. "Hongjoong.. Hyung.. We're here. Wake up love." He says softly as he tries to wake him up. "Hm, where are we?" Hongjoong mumbles and Wooyoung bites down on his bottom lip.  "Uhm, have a look." Hongjoong sits up as he looks outside and his eyes quickly widen. "No. No way. No. No I don't want to do this! I really don't want to do this!" "Easy baby easy. I don't know what they've planned for us. Let's just follow the rest and see what happens okay?" Hongjoong nods slightly, already feeling anxious at this point.

They hold hands and walk towards the others. The issue is that Wooyoung is the only person who knows about Hongjoong's fear of heights. They join the rest of the group as the staff begins to explain the plan, but Hongjoong is barely listening.

They can't make me jump off that building. This must be a joke right. This can't actually be a thing they've come up with. I'm down to do a lot of missions, but jumping of a building is not one of them. I would do anything as long as I don't have to do this. God this is my worst nightmare.

"So Hongjoong do you want to start?" Hongjoong looks back at the staff, but he has no idea what he's suppose to do. "Sorry?" "If you want to start with convincing the group why you shouldn't have to jump. What do you think we asked?" "Oh uh nothing, I'll start."

He stands in front of the others and takes a deep breath. He could just tell them that he's afraid of heights, but knowing the others, that might just cause them to make him him jump. He needs to act calm and collected right now and come up with a good story. Maybe even add some humor to make it sound more casual.

"Well the reason why you all shouldn't make me jump is became I'm your leader. If anything happens to me, who's going to keep this mess together?" He chuckles and prays that this is working out. "That's all I've got to say!" Causing the others to burst out in laughter. They didn't expect anything else from their leader.

They all go one by one, giving reasons why they should not have to jump. Wooyoung is up last and he makes sure that he comes up with a terrible excuse. In case Hongjoong does get picked out, he's pretty sure he will as well.

"I'm your sexy performace! I can't put on a sexy performance when my hair is all over the place and I'm screaming like an idiot! It won't just damage my sexy reputation but maybe even our entire reputation!" They all laugh. They knew Wooyoung would come up with an excuse like this since the outfit he has to wear isn't sexy and you can't be sexy when you scream the way he can.

"Alright now it's all up to you to choose who came up with the worst excuse. The top three will have to jump." The staff says. "So we're just going to follow the same line we started with. Who thought that Hongjoong came up with the worst excuse?"

Not me. Not me. Not me. Not me. I came up with a really powerful and funny excuse. They can't pick me. Mingi literally just said he's too tall to jump because he's almost as tall as the building itself. That has to be the worst excuse I've ever heard! They won't pick me. They can't pick me.

But his worst nightmare was about to become reality as 6 members raise their hand. Everyone except Wooyoung raises his hand.

No no no no no!

Everyone starts to laugh but Wooyoung quickly pulls his boyfriend closer as he whispers "I'm pretty sure they'll pick me too baby. I'll be with you okay." "Well I think I will have to jump! You guys are the worst!" Hongjoong chuckles, trying to play it cool. But deep inside, his anxiety is building up.

As the line goes down, it's pretty obvious that Yunho will have to jump as well because they all voted for him and he even voted for himself. "Last up is Wooyoung. Who wants Wooyoung to go bungee jumping?" All of the 7 members raise their hands, including Hongjoong. Not because he wants to put Wooyoung in a position where he has to jump, but because he really needs him to be close right now.

"Really?! Well there goes our reputation!" Wooyoung brushes his hand through his hair. "Yeah bye sexy performance!" Mingi says, causing everyone to laugh.

Yunho, Wooyoung and Hongjoong are guided towards the building while the others stay downstairs to watch. Hongjoong is nearly crushing Wooyoung's hand as they're approaching the building. He's really glad that his boyfriend is with him, but that doesn't take his anxiety away.

Focus on your breathing Hongjoong. Focus on that. You can do it. In through your nose and out through your mouth.

Wooyoung looks at his boyfriend and wraps his arms around him as someone explains something about the building and about other people who did the bungee jump as well.

I just want this to be over. Please.

They make their way to the elevator and they all get in. Hongjoong moves to the far corner and shuts his eyes tightly. He's not okay. This whole situation is not okay. He should have told them when he had the chance. Maybe they would have been very understanding and he wouldn't be the one having to bungee jump of this building today.

Yunho looks at Hongjoong with a worried expression before looking back at Wooyoung with a questioning look on his face. Wooyoung pulls his boyfriend close in his arms, letting him bury his face in his sweater. "Can I tell him baby?" Hongjoong grabs onto his sweater and nods as his anxiety starts to take over.

"He's afraid of heights.. He was always scared to tell you and the others because he felt like a leader shouldn't be afraid of anything.." Wooyoung brushes soft and small circles on his boyfriend's back, trying to calm him down.

"Oh hyung you could have told us. We would have never picked you to jump if we had known about this.."

But Hongjoong isn't listening anymore. He's shaking like a leaf and all he wants is to go back downstairs and stand with both feet firmly on the ground. 

Wooyoung guides him out of the elevator. "Shall I go back down to the others and ask if we can switch? I really don't want him to bungee jump if he's in this much panic already." Yunho suggest and Wooyoung nods.

Hongjoong is still firmly pressed up against Wooyoung. He's feeling dizzy, nauseous and his breathing is picking up. "Hongjoongie baby, it's okay. Yunho is going back downstairs to ask if someone else wants go in your place." But Hongjoong doesn't reply.

"Okay we need to sit down baby. I think you're having a panic attack." Wooyoung picks up his boyfriend and carries him to a couch that's not nearby a window so he won't be able to see how far they're off the ground.

Wooyoung sits Hongjoong down on the couch and he kneels down in front of him. "You need to guide me baby. I don't know what you need right now." Hongjoong just shakes his head, only wanting this extreme feeling of panic to go away. He puts his hands in his hair and bows forward.

"I know this sucks. I'm here with you okay. We can go through this together." Hongjoong just nods, still trying to control his breathing. An employee walks over to them. "Can I help you with anything?" Wooyoung shakes his head. "No thank you it's okay. I got this." The employee nods and leaves them alone again.

"Hongjoongie hey, you need to focus on your breathing okay." Wooyoung carefully takes Hongjoong's hands out of his hair and wraps his hands around his. "Deep breaths in through your nose, and breath out through your mouth." Hongjoong moves his hands slightly so he's holding Wooyoung's hands in his as he tries to take deep and slow breaths. Wooyoung gently places a kiss on each of his hands.

After about 10 minutes Hongjoong is finally breathing normally again. "I knew you could do it baby." Wooyoung gently dabs the sweat from his boyfriend's forehead with the sleeve of his sweater. "Do you want some water?" Hongjoong nods. "I'll be right back okay?" Wooyoung carefully let's his hands go and gets a bottle of water.

He kneels down again and opens the bottle. "Here drink some." Hongjoong holds the bottle in his shaking hands. Wooyoung smiles softly as holds the bottle as well so Hongjoong can drink it without spilling it all over himself.

He sits down beside him on the couch and pulls him in his arms. "Tired hm?" Wooyoung asks as he brushes his fingers slowly through Hongjoong's hair who nods.

"I feel like such a failure.." "You're not, okay. Don't say that about yourself. Who knows what the others are afraid of. Would you think they're a failure if they can't do something because they're scared?" Wooyoung asks and Hongjoong shakes his head. "No.." "So they won't think you're a failure either love."

Hongjoong smiles tiredly at his boyfriend. "I love you.. Will you go back downstairs with me in the elevator?" Wooyoung smiles as he places a soft kiss on his lips. Hongjoong scoots a little closer, melting into the kiss. "Of course I will."

After a couple of minutes Yunho arrives back upstairs with Jongho. "I found someone stupid enough to join us!" Wooyoung looks up and laughs. "Good! I'm bringing Hongjoong back downstairs and come back up to join you."

Wooyoung stands in the corner of the couch pulling Hongjoong in his arms so he can cover his face in his chest. "I'm sure they won't be mad at you baby. And I think Jongho is actually pretty excited to do this, so that's positive as well."

As they get back downstairs they share one last kiss before Hongjoong rushes to the others, feeling beyond relieved that he's back on earth.

"You should have told us Joongie! We would have never send you up there if we knew you were so afraid." Seonghwa says and Hongjoong blushes slightly, covering his face with his hands. Seonghwa laughs and pulls his little brother in his arms. "Now you're back on the ground we can cheer for your boyfriend!" "Yes!" Hongjoong says and smiles.

He's exhausted from the panic attack, but so glad that the others aren't judging him about this.

A/N: Sorry about the delay. I had no time to write yesterday. Hope you guys enjoy this one!
