Hello!!!
Hope you all are well!

===================

"Thank you for the lunch uncle" Jin said as he finished his last bite "I really enjoyed it"

Taehyung's father smiled at Jin "Glad to hear that Jin."

"Do you have any plans after lunch?" Taehyung's father asked.

Jin glanced at Taehyung and shook his head "Not really-"

"Would you like to stay back a little longer Jin?" He asked.

Taehyung frowned "Why?"

"You want him gone?" His father asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Well, that wouldn't be possible" Jungkook commented making Jimin bite back back a smile.

Taehyung shook his head before glaring at Jungkook "Oh no. Wondered why you had to specifically ask him to stay back."

Taehyung's father chuckled "Reasons. You will know. But why don't you three go out? I will like some alone time with Jin"

"Ok" Jimin and Jungkook said at the same time.

"No" Taehyung said. "I'll stay"

His father sighed "Fine. I expected that."

Jin looked between the two suddenly confused as to why he wanted to talk to Jin privately and as to why Taehyung suddenly looked nervous.

Soon after Jimin and Jungkook took leave saying that they will be in their respective rooms.

Taehyung was sitting next to Jin bouncing his knees.

His father looked at him "Stop doing that"

Taehyung realised and stopped immediately keeping a hand on his knees.

"So Jin" Taehyung's father said turning to Jin "I want you to take this calmly alright?"

Jin hesitantly nodded.

"I told Taehyung not to tell you about this" His father clarified "Because I wasn't sire how you will take the information, but you seem like a great guy and I don't want lies between us. Alright?"

Jin nodded gulping as he glanced at Taehyung.

His father sighed "I work as a therapist. I have studied it and it has been my job for the past five years"

Jin's fingers itched. Therapist?

Is that why- is that why Taehyung brought him here?

Oh no.

Are they implying Jin needs professional help? But he was doing better. Right?

He is not crazy. He does not need a therapist. He is not suicidal. It was only a cut-

"No" Taehyung said shaking Jin's hand.

Jin blinked looking at Taehyung "Huh?"

"I did not help you because my dad is a therapist. He did not want to see you because he is a therapist. And you are doing perfectly fine. What did I tell you to do? Do you remember that?"

"Don't think...... But I- I don't- do I need help?"

"Jin, please" Taehyung pleaded. "What did I tell you?"

"To not think too much with my pretty head" Jin repeated.

Taehyung grew red in the face as his father let out a chuckle.
