I sigh as I run my hand through my hair. It was calm for a second and a speaker came on when the man beside me pressed the emergency button. He seemed surprisingly calm. "Stupid things really, always break down on me" He mutters under his breath. "We are so sorry for the inconvenience. The elevator will be back up and working shortly" The speaker crackled before leaving it silent. The man backed up to the elevator wall and placed his bag down. But that's when it got the best of me.
I looked at each wall seeming like they were edging towards me. It felt like they were closing in on me. I sat down on the floor trying to act casually. However, each second felt like the walls were closer to crushing me. With the thought, I buried my face into my hands and hugged my knees. There was some shuffling which made me think the walls had already crushed the man for some reason. My brain really was wired wrong.
"No no no no no" I continually started chanting under my breath as my breathing started picking up. Suddenly, I felt some arms embrace my small figure curled up. I didn't care at this point due to the embrace seeming to calm myself down. I stayed that way, face buried in hands hearing my breath slow down. Before long I looked up to see the man hugging me trying to calm down. His brown eyes connected with mine. He looked away a small blush on his cheeks before pulling away.
"R u ok?" He asked and I hummed reassuring him. "What happened? I was worried for a second, I didn't know what to do" I sighed taking deep breath. "I'm Claustrophobic" I whispered but he caught on. "Ok, What's your name?" He tried to change topic. "I'm Minji, how about you?" I answered politely.
He hesitated before taking his mask off. "I'm Jungkook" I gave him a small smile. "Why do you cover your face?" With this question he seemed to become nervous so I quickly saved him. "It's okay, I was just wondering because your quiet attractive" He blushed at this and I mentally face palmed with a small blush coming onto my cheeks. Also, the lights didn't help since they came back on to make sure everyone could see our blushing faces. I sighed feeling a slight tension. The doors swung open and I few people looked in curiously and worried. "Thank you..." I whispered whilst walking past him and leaving the elevator heading to the door.
Sometimes I hate my Claustrophobic side. I just lose myself. I let myself out into the cold night air and breath the fresh air feeling safe being away from the stuffy elevator.
I look out onto the busy street full of traffic. Having to be honest, my negative spiral of thoughts seemed to be getting darker. Every now and then when I car came rushing past I felt like jumping in front of the vehicle right then and there. But something stopped me. Like an invisible wall in the way of death. I always wondered what would happen if that wall ever disappeared. Would I actually do it. I sighed bringing my attention back to my shoes.
Soon after a while, I arrived back at my house. The sun was setting making the scenery a nice colorful glow. I took my phone out and took a picture before entering my house. I sat down at the living room placing my bag down beside me. I scrolled through social media and posted the picture.

I smile at Hana's comment before turning of my phone. I pulled my knees up to my chest warming myself up a bit. I then headed up to my room where I entered the bathroom. I looked in the mirror seeing a figure. This figure was someone I hated. With her dark hair and brown eyes. I hate her. I hate her personality I hate her appearance and the most thing I hated about her, was that she was me. My reflection stared back at me. Without thinking my fist launched at the mirror and the glass shattered earning a loud crash. I stepped back looking at my hands in shock.
I shouldn't have done that! Why did I do that?!?! "I'm a monster..." I whispered but my attention soon got drawn to footsteps coming from the hallway and the turn of the doorknob.....
