Love hurts 18+ (BTS Jimin)

21) Getting real

Days had now passed since the incident and since they got the final pairs. It was finally time to actually start the process of recovery!!

To begin with, everyone met up at the therapy building where they usually did. All the pairs then got to talk to each other, like actually talk about the recovery process and stuff! Every pair got their own room so everyone could feel comfortable enough to share even the deepest things. That meant Jimin and N got to talk to each other, privately, for an hour multiple times a week!

The first few times were hard for everyone, since people had to get to know each other on a deeper level. Luckily for Jimin and N, they already knew each other on such a deep level, I mean come on, they dated for 3 years! That meant they could go straight to the problem solving part though, so that was good.

They began talking about how they could help each other get better, and how they could help themselves too. But honestly... it was like just talking to each other like this again was already helping...

But like one of the creeps mentioned earlier, every pair got to have sessions together outside of the building, which was going to focus on trying the different methods that was going to help everyone overcome their problems. The time for when the pairs were going to start those kinds of outside sessions varied though, as some pairs were faster to find ways than others.

As for Jimin and N, they were ready to try the out of the building sessions, after only 5 of those normal sessions! That must mean something... right? Since they had already opened up to each other and figured out ways to help each other...

Anyways, today was technically the 6th session, and since they have 2 sessions per week that means 3 weeks had passed since the real recovery journey began. Everyone met up in the main room to greet the therapist and then all pairs basically went straight to their private room.

The thing about Jimin and N starting the more experimental sessions wasn't completely planned yet though, as Jimin wanted to make sure N was ready. Curing a drinking problem isn't exactly done by slowly trying the things that scare you, but that's how you train anxiety, so those experimental sessions were going to be harder for N.

The first thing they had to do was to talk about how things had been since last time though, so as they got into their room they began talking about last time and stuff. However since they were now talking to each other again, privately and this deeply, they both couldn't help but think about the time when they were together... and honestly, it started to become harder to act like nothing happened because even though both of them secretly wanted it, they didn't get back together..😏

Jimin: "Should we start..?"
N: "Yes"
Jimin: "Okay so...did you try any of the things we talked about last time?"
N: "Uhm...I wanted to...but I couldn't...I'm really sorry...it's just I couldn't do it alone... and whenever I thought about it I realized that I don't think I'm... ready yet... I'm sorry.."
Jimin: "Aw hey it's okay... you don't have to feel sorry, I understand it takes time, and you know, it's never about when I tell you to do something, it's about when you feel like you're ready okay? Please don't feel pressured, it's all good"
N: "Thank you so much... that really means a lot..." she smiled as they made that magical eye contact... but N got shy so she broke it loool.

N: "So uhm...how is it going for you? Did you try the things we talked about last time?"
Jimin: "Mmm...well, I didn't drink this morning and yesterday I didn't drink that much but other than that it's pretty much been the same... it's just really hard to control by myself, I can't really get myself to limit it"
N: "Aw...okay, I understand... but I'm really proud of you, you still made progress, that's really good. We just need to find a way so it's more manageable for you"
Jimin: "Thank you, it actually means a lot to know that you're proud of me" he shyly smiled, making N smile shyly too.
