Jun Han can feel the air leave his lungs as his throat constricts. There are so many people around them. He knew that this would happen eventually but it was still overwhelming. He couldn't even turn to his mates for the comfort he needed right now because they had been forced to put on scent blockers before they left the dorm
He absolutely hated them. They felt itchy and kept him from smelling the comforting scents of his mates which he so desperately needed right now
Someone knocks into him and he almost falls, the panic in his chest spreading and getting worse. He can't breathe. He needs to get away
He turns and runs
They were at their first award show as a group and he was incredibly excited but also so incredibly anxious at the same time
He didn't do well with new people. It was the reason that his group had thought he didn't like them when they first met. It had taken some time for him to warm up to them before and after debut. They had been a group for a year now and in that time had formed a romantic pack between all six of them. It was still fairly new so not being able to smell his mates upset him more than it probably should. It didn't help that he was the last to present, doing so just a week ago. That also meant that he had only had his pack bond for a week compared to the others who had it a few months, even Jooyeon who presented early
Being surrounded by so many people he didn't really know had gotten overwhelming extremely fast and all he wanted to do was curl up with one of his mates and let them settle him with their scent
He runs out of the area they're in, ignoring Gunil's shocked and concerned call behind him, pushing past people until he could get outside
As soon as he opened the door leading outside he gasped for air. It was secluded right here and he felt like he could finally breathe. He yearned for his mates but he didn't dare to go back into the venue right now. It was too suffocating
His solitude outside only lasted a few seconds before he was being mobbed by fans that had found him. He had his scent blockers on so they couldn't smell him but he could smell them and their scents didn't mix together well at all. He felt his throat start to close up again and quickly recognized the start of a panic attack gripping at him and trying to drag him in. The worst part was that it was working and he was starting to slip under
Jisung looks up as a sudden instinct hits him. He doesn't know what it is until he sees Jun Han's blurry form run past their dressing room's open door
He can hear Gunil calling after him but Jun Han continues running
Jisung looks to the others but it seems like they didn't notice. He quickly puts his phone in his pocket and gets up, rushing out of the door in the direction he had saw the younger male run
Chan calls out to him from the room, asking where he's going, but he can't answer as that instinct inside of him grows. The instinct to protect the younger male
He follows Jun Han as quickly as he can, looking over his shoulder when he hears Gunil. He pauses long enough to grab the Alpha's arm and pull him along
Gunil lets out a confused noise but follows him anyway as Jisung continues to track Jun Han
He soon comes to a side door leading outside. It was an emergency exit that led to the street
Gunil had been keeping an eye on his pack, his mates, the best that he could while they were getting ready
Jun Han had went first so he would hopefully have time to relax as the others got ready
He was currently watching as Jooyeon got his makeup and hair done when he saw Jun Han take off running
"Hyeongjun?" He calls out gently but the younger male doesn't look back and continues running
He's torn between keeping an eye on Jooyeon or following after Jun Han. Jungsu seems to notice, the other Alpha walking over and putting a hand on his shoulder. "Go get Jun Hannie, I've got Yeonnie" he says
Gunil gives him a thankful look before taking off after his mate quickly. It's hard to track him when they have scent blockers on and there's so many people crowding the halls. Honestly, this has to be a fire hazard
Gunil tries to keep up with his mate the best he can, calling for him gently, until someone grabs his arm and starts tugging him forwards. He looks over to see Jisung, letting out a confused noise as the younger male pulls him along
He decides not to verbally question it, letting Jisung pull him to an emergency exit before following him through to a side street outside
Jun Han is huddled on the ground as people surround him, yelling loudly. Gunil can tell he's overwhelmed and panicking and his inner wolf lets out a growl as it notices as well
Jisung lets out a verbal growl though, eyes bright blue. The people surrounding Jun Han look up in shock. He can tell they're mostly Betas and a few Alphas. Their scents don't mix together at all and it makes sense now why Jun Han has a hand over his nose
"Back, up" Jisung growls out sternly. The people's eyes widen and they quickly do so before deciding to bolt. Jisung growls after them before turning his focus to Jun Han
The younger Omega was crying and shaking, struggling to breathe. Jisung quickly recognizes the symptoms of a panic attack, rushing forwards and crouching in front of the other male
"Hey, Jun Han" Jisung whispers softly, looking at the younger male. Jun Han's eyes looked almost white with how blue they were
The Omega relaxes when he sees the older male. Jisung smiles softly, sitting down in front of him. "Hi pup, I need you to breathe for me ok?" Jisung whispers softly. "Your Alpha's here too, do you want him?" he adds
Jun Han looks up before looking around for Gunil quickly, letting out a whine that made the Alpha quickly move over to him, sitting behind him and hugging him close
Jisung smiles as Jun Han relaxes more and looks back at him. "There you go pup. Following my breathing ok?" Jisung whispers, taking the male through some breathing exercises until he calms down
Gunil had removed his scent blockers in the process, the scent of mountains invading Jun Han's senses pleasantly. He moves and hugs the male tightly, nuzzling into his scent gland to take in more of the smell
He knew that he got easily scent drunk so he really shouldn't do this but he didn't care right now. Gunil smelt so calming and his Omega only wanted to focus on that
"Think we can get back inside? You guys can join us in our dressing room to get ready. It might help him being around people he considers a familial pack" Jisung says
Jun Han barely nods, Gunil laughing softly as he carefully lifts the younger male up. Jisung walks with them inside, helping to make sure that Jun Han wouldn't get overwhelmed again
They reached the dressing room and Jisung directed them inside before quickly going and grabbing the other members and leading them in as well
His pack didn't react much to the new people in the room but Felix and Hyunjin got worried upon seeing the tear tracks on Jun Han's face, as did the rest of the younger Omega's pack
Jisung quickly explains what happened to everyone and after a few minutes they settle into comfortable conversations
Gunil has to put another scent blocker on before they can go on stage and they have to work on getting Jun Han to come down from how scent drunk he was before they leave. Jisung and his pack watch their performance happily and at the end of the night they join up with them to praise them
Jun Han is happy when they can get home and take of their scent blockers. Slowly the scents of mountains, coffee, dark chocolate, vanilla, cinnamon, and pure sugar mix together, relaxing all of them
Jun Han smiles happily as he sits with them in the living room and watches a movie, his wolf content to be near them all in a safe place
