NCT’s Xiaojun Gets Real About One Of His Biggest Concerns, Showcasing His True Personality
NCT‘s Xiaojun recently spilled about one of his biggest worries, and why it’s making him feel bad about rejecting his members’ invitations to hang out.
While the members of WayV are all more than fond of their pets, Xiaojun is decidedly a dog dad at heart.
Ten and YangYang are the ones who are mostly in charge of taking care of the group’s cats (resulting in some pretty hilariously chaotic stories)…but Xiaojun’s heart belongs to WayV’s dog, Bella.
After spending much of his free time raising and training Bella over the past couple of years, Xiaojun recently revealed in a live stream that he’s had to turn down invitations to hang out from his members, all because Bella’s separation anxiety has gotten worse with time.
Bella have separation anxiety, the only things he can do is give Bella medicine and allow her to have a good 8 hours of sleep but she doesn’t want to sleep. When I look at the CCTV, she sat quietly there to wait for me. I have tried to take out more times to accompany her + pic.twitter.com/B35KANI4IJ

And recently the members have been asking me out to eat and do others things but I rejected because after Bella grow up her anxiety is getting worse so I have difficulties to leave the dorm, most of time I’m spending with her

Xiaojun explained that he has researched and tried everything he can to help Bella’s anxiety, even taking her with him on his schedules as much as he can and taking her on extensive walks.
even when he brings her to the gym, when he moves around the equipment, once he changes location and bella can't see him she'll start crying again. xiaojun said yes people have told him to search the net to see what can be done and it recommends to bring her on walks etc.-

Yet, none of it is enough, as Bella simply has too much energy.
-to tire her out but xiaojun says it really doesn't work on bella, because her energy is practically limitless and she'll still act out from anxiety so at the moment the only way is to take anti-anxiety medications to calm her down, xj asked the dr is it really ok for her to eat-

Bella’s anxiety has also gotten to a point where it’s difficult for her to feel comfortable with new people. Xiaojun related that they ran into SHINee‘s Key at the gym, and since Key is a dog owner himself, he bonded surprisingly easily with Bella.
Bella first met someone, she is more offensive to get close with and usually take up 5 mins. If someone suddenly touched her she will feel sensitive and doesn’t like it but when I bring her to gym, SHINee key looks like he know dogs very well and he bond with Bella straight away pic.twitter.com/yKGmhH6g9f

But given how rare that is for Bella, Xiaojun ends up turning his members down more often than not when they ask him to hang out. He got very real about the situation, saying that he feels extremely frustrated with himself, wondering what he has done wrong for Bella to be this way…even though it’s not his fault.
“it really worried, frustrated me, i wondered what on earth i did wrong so bella had this separation anxiety. i really searched and reflected on myself” 😭💗 pic.twitter.com/BkQE3Rin5y

The fact that he is so caring and that he is taking full responsibility for his dog’s well-being, shows exactly what kind of person Xiaojun really is—and that is someone who is dedicated, kind and compassionate.
Fans have been praising him for being such a responsible dog owner…
it's so apparent that bella's anxiety has been stressing xiaojun out so much all this time and he's only opened up to us now, can't imagine the burden he must've felt like this, he's been going all out to be the best carer for bella and yet there's still that guilt with him.. 😭

…and hoping that he takes it easier on himself from now on.
