"What's your name?"
A deafening silence engulfed the spacious room with whitewashed walls and comfortable sofas with throw pillows of dull colors all over them. On one corner stood a table and a computer atop it, with a swivel chair currently unoccupied. Another corner stood a book shelf with a couple dozen books with hard covers. There were no windows, none. And the whole space was lit up with bulbs, their electric rays spreading over the white walls like a second layer of paint.
The room was empty for the most part. It looked so lonely. Uninhabited. And it was, except for the two people who sat in the middle. The woman, who wore a pressed peach colored blouse and a black tight skirt, hair held up in a neat bun and her legs crossed over each other. And the boy.
The boy.
He stared right ahead of him with bleached out chocolate eyes, dead. They had no sparkle even under the glowing light bulbs that seemed to make everything in the room shine. His hair was a faded red, almost pink now and black at the roots. The bags under his eyes spoke of a lot of sleepless nights and the bruises on his face spoke many stories.
The sound of loud, violent scribbling awoke the boy from his spaced out state. His eyes came into focus, suddenly aware of his surroundings. He watched as the woman who sat before him jot something down on the notebook that rested on her lap.
She let out a sigh and looked at the boy before him.
"You and I will be meeting a quite a lot, sweetness" She said, lips stretching to reveal perfect white teeth. Her eyes crinkled at the end as she smiled. She looked so young and so old at the same time. "So let's got to know each other, hmm?"
The boy just stared blankly.
"Okay" the woman said. She seemed to be familiar with awkward silences. "I'm Tessa. Tessa Jennings. And I will be your therapist. So what's your name?"
Another long silence. And then...
"Taehyung"
The woman smiled at the boy before scribbling something down.
"Taehyung Kim" The boy said with a small voice.
"That's a beautiful name, Taehyung. Is it okay if I called you Taehyung?"
Another agonizing silence and then a nod.
"Awesome!" She was too cheerful. "You can call me Tessa. I would like to know a bit about you, Taehyung. Would you mind telling me how old you are?"
Taehyung stared at the box of tissues before him. Right next to it sat another box with a transparent lid. The boy could see some gadgets of odd shapes and different sized inside it. Taehyung stared blankly at the box.
"Oh there are some fidgets toys. People who come here love these! They can help with your anxiety and stress" She said and opened the box. "Would you like one-"
