June stared wide eyed at her smug therapist who had finally gotten her to blurt out everything she had been bottling up.

After her previous panic attack, Taehyun had immediately taken June to a new and more excellent therapist. During the first few sessions June had barely talked, only saying random stuff about her life until their fifth session today where a simple question had let to June blurting out everything.

"You tricked me! You tricked me into speaking!" June accused the therapist who just rolled her eyes amused.

"That's literally my job. And trust me it's better tricking people into speaking and accepting their trauma rather than letting them fester it inside themselves like a tree."

June still had a look of betrayal at the therapist's but she understood why she had done what she did. "Now that everything is out, do you have a solution?"

The therapist hummed looking over her notes before turning back to June, "Confront your fears June. I know it must be hard right now but trust me, until you confront your fears there is nothing anyone came do. Whatever happened is not at all your fault, it could happen to any of us. What I want you to do is create new and more happy memories with everything and everyone that stalker terrorized you with. Associating good memories with those things might help you overcome the panic."

The session ended then as June walked out of the clinic to the car where YoungK was waiting for her. Mulling over the therapist's words June missed YoungK talking to her about Aerum, "Junny, are you listening?"

June averted her attention to him before nodding, "Oh yeah, sorry I was just thinking about something what were you saying?"

YoungK drove the car to their usual hidden cafe r.about in Hannam- dong. The cafe was actually found by June and Seungmin a little while back when they were both trainees looking for a s secluded place to study and eat. The cafe on the outside looked like an abandoned warehouse but on the inside was a cozy small cafe hidden away from prying eyes.

The owner had grown fond of their idol friend group as whenever they needed to hang out without cameras chasing them, the cafe was the go to place.

"I wanted to talk about Aerum."

June stared at him confused wondering what was so important regarding Aerum that he asked to meet all of them suddenly. "What is it?"

"Wait till we reach the cafe." YoungK replied before driving them to their scheduled hangout area.

Once stepping inside the cafe and greeting the owner and then heading towards where the whole group was seated chatting together.

"June's here!" Felix alerted them, rushing to hug June while the rest of the group did the same.

"Hey, how are you? I heard some pretty shitty stuff happened a while back." Ashley said engulfing June in a warm hug as she said she was okay.

June and YoungK took their seats near Woodz and Eric.

"Why are we gathered here though?" Henry asked slurping onto his smoothie while looking at YoungK in question who sighed before looking at them seriously.

"As Asher's only friends in this world,"

"It's because of that glare, lemme tell you." Eric replied back cutting YoungK off.

"She has this, 'talk and get slapped' energy to her." Chan nodded.

"She always Glaring at you like a cat so it's hard to make friends." Ashley agreed in acting Aerum's famous glare.

"AS ASHER'S ONLY FRIENDS," The group stopped talking at YoungK's loud voice, "We need to discuss her recent fight with Itzy members before leaving JYP."
