Dr.Ban : Jimin-ssi? Can you hear me?
Jimin tried to simmer down his turbulance of emotions and sound his presence.
JM : Yes, please keep talking.
Dr.Ban : All right. Let's talk a little about your sleep pattern. Was there any discomfort in that area lately? Are you sleeping well?
JM : Yes... I think so. But, I feel tired the moment I wake up.
Within a second of silence, Jimin experienced another wave of break down.
JM : I- I want to give the best to our comeback. (-voice hitches-) But, I feel-...I am lacking in so many areas. Our fans, our Armys are waiting-...
Dr.Ban, like always, lent him the space for as long as he needed to vent out.
JM : They will be so disappointed in me. What do I-... This comeback could be the worst, only because of me. I feel so sorry to the members-
Jimin covered his eyes, trying to muffle his cries. The psychiatrist held his silence over the line. Not at the best favor being unable to see him.
His ears were the only judgment, he could rely on then.
Dr.Ban, grabbing the next stable graph, spoke out the needed words very clamly.
Dr.Ban : It is commendable that you are consciously trying to give your best by pushing all ends from your side. But, it is also important to note, that genuine admirers will always appreciate your efforts and fakers will criticize even your best performance.
Jimin at a credulous and gullible state absorbed his words easier than it would've been otherwise. Maybe he simply needed an assurance. A light pat that it was all fine.
Dr.Ban : I do understand your fear. We are always scared to fail reaching the levels of expectations set for us. But fear can inturn hinder your ability to give out the best. Instead of focusing on what you are unable to do, focus more on what you should do. Eye on your goal, not the obstacles.
The singer did not counter his discourse, knowing that they make all the more sense to him with time. And when the clock ticked at that hour, he would eventually overcome his trials with these little advices.
Dr.Ban : Making this an exception, I will send out a digital prescription. Advising you to a higher dose of your medication for the time being, so that you can rest well primarily.
Dr.Ban waited each time, to know he was receiving him well.
JM : Okay...
Dr.Ban : And by the look of it, Chamomile might not have worked great for you these days too.
JM : Ye, I drank it a while ago. And I felt fine initially like other times, but...
The doctor did not require him to form out complete sentences to understand him now.
Dr.Ban : Ye, I see. To its alternative, I recommend you to receive a hug from anyone, for uninterrupted one minute. Preferably from someone close.
JM : A hug? And for a minute?
Getting distracted by the words he didn't expect to hear from Dr.Ban, Jimin's tears were pacified. He sniffed frequently and listened to the doctor more attentively.
Dr.Ban : Yes. Well, your current distress factor has significantly increased. So much so that artificial mild calming aids, like Chamomile, has no effect now.
