(Sorry for the long wait again, my neighbours are being assholes and have been playing loud music at night for like a month now, so I haven't been able to sleep or focus that well lately. Hopefully this creation of my sleep deprived brain is at least somewhat readable.)

Disclaimer: The condition/diagnosis they are talking about in this fic (Hongjoong's father's one) isn't directly based on any real-life condition. It's supposed to be a condition that only exists in this story's universe. 

Also, warning: Alcohol is mentioned in this chapter. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Last week Hongjoong had had a meeting with a psychiatrist and the two Betas that had raised him, since the psychiatrist had wanted to also interview the people who had seen him grow up. And the people who knew more about Hongjoong's father than he himself. 

Today he was having another meeting by himself, the final one, although Yunho was called to come in towards the end of the appointment, so that the psychiatrist could explain the results to both of them, since Yunho was still Hongjoong's legal guardian. 

The psychiatrist was currently scanning through her notes, looking one last time before forming her words, to be sure that she hadn't missed any information. 

"Hongjoong did get some points based on the interview, but barely below the line, so in other words, I don't find a reason for further examinations."

"What points?" Yunho asked. 

"You have to fill at least three points to get diagnosed, but he only filled two." She explained. 

"What are those two points then?" Yunho asked, because he wanted to be a responsible owner and be aware if Hongjoong had any difficulties in certain categories. 

"Well, he seems to have a slightly decreased sense of danger, but not absent, so that's good. And based on the interview with his previous owners, he wasn't a very touchy person growing up, to the point he would even reject being touched by them sometimes."

"But I'm not like that anymore…" Hongjoong interjected. 

"Yes, so you said, you don't have any issues being touchy with your current boyfriend, and that's exactly why I will send these results back to your doctor as negative, and you can continue planning the rest of your test period without worrying about these interviews anymore."

Hongjoong somehow felt like he had been caught doing something bad, especially when Yunho looked at him with a face saying 'You better not have told her that we're dating each other, again.' But nevertheless, he was relieved now that the psychological tests were over, and he felt like he deserved to do something fun afterwards, like taking Seonghwa on a date.

"Hwa?" Hongjoong asked once the two were in the car together, on the way to Seonghwa's apartment. 

After the meeting, Yunho had driven the Omega back to his school, where Seonghwa was already waiting in the parking lot. 

"Yeah?"

"I want to go on a date."

"No."

"Whyy?"

"Because I want to pay."

"Okay, whatever, you can pay, I just want a date."

'It's not like I have that much money left anyway, but we could've just gone to the park or something.' Hongjoong thought. 

"So, what are we going to do?" Hongjoong asked after the other hadn't continued on for a while. 

"Is there a movie you'd like to see?"
