Psych Ward

Chapter 2

Jungkook and Hobi were nurses, and Ris spent most of her time with Jungkook when she was herself. He was her favorite Bunny, after all. Hobi was Krissy's favorite; she was entranced by him and his sunshine smile, which held a bit of darkness behind it. Jimin was also a nurse but worked at the desk as the head nurse. He always brought Ris gifts and flirted with Krissy to no end. Teenie was okay with all of them, but they were the only ones that didn't send her into a spiral.

Jimin knocked on Yoongi's door, "come in," the voice was gruff and sounded slightly annoyed.

As soon as they walked in, Ris yelled out Kitty and squirmed to get down. Yoongi's head shot upright as she launched herself into his lap. "Hello Princess, where have you been hiding?"

The little girl shrugged her shoulder, "Krissy has been running the show for a while. I'm guessing she's tired because Teenie had that nightmare again last night, and normally, she takes over, but she didn't, so I had to. I finally got back to sleep, which was hard because my heart felt like it was going crazy. Then I woke up this morning, and I was still here. Bunny told me that Jimin got me stickers, and then Jimin asked if I wanted to see my Kitty, so I'm here. Can I play on your phone?" Ris said it all in one breath and as fast as she could.

Yoongi looked at the little girl squirming on his lap and he chuckled before handing her his phone, she put in his password and went straight to the folder that held her games. "How does she know your password?"

Ris smiled without skipping a beat, "The same way I know all of your passwords. When Teenie is in charge, you guys sometimes forget that she's here. She notices everything. How else would we be able to sneak out of our room that's supposed to be locked and get snacks?"

Yoongi laughed. He'd long ago learned not to underestimate this girl, no matter which persona was in control. "Looks like the night shift nurse is slacking on the job. We should really do something about that. I've got her, Jimin. She can stay here until breakfast."

"That sounds good. I have a ton of paperwork to do. Here are the files you wanted." He placed the files on Yoongi's desk and then left. 

The Doctor wanted to look at the files but didn't want Ris to notice them since they were about her, well, all three of them. But she seemed absorbed in her game, so it should be okay.

He pulled the first file over. Han Kristina, age 22. Long-term patient at Kim Psychiatric Hospital. She suffers from DID with two alters. Ris is five years old, and Krissy is currently 25. Insomnia, night terrors, leading personality hasn't spoken in over a decade; no progress has been made in finding out exactly why she is there. Alters refers to several nightmares but won't tell Doctors what they are about—admitted by her family after several failed suicide attempts.

Yoongi looked at the handwritten notes from Joon, Tae, and Jin and a few of his own. All of them agree that they believe her parents are the reason for her trauma. Her parents come every month after Jin has her monthly evaluation with one of the alters to see if she's any closer to getting out. It seems like they don't want her cured, which is curious to all of them. He wishes he could get Ris to talk about what happened but she never does, it's always 'don't know'.

"Ris?"

"Yes, Kitty."

"What happened in Teenie's nightmare? Why did it upset her so much that you had to take over?"

Ris stopped playing on his phone and froze, "I'm not sure," she whispered.

Oh, this is progress, she usually says her usual 'don't know'. "Can you tell me what you remember? Anything would be super helpful for Teenie."

He was playing on her love for Teenie, both alters love her fiercely. "Hands holding us down and other hands touching us."

Yoongi squeezed his fists tightly, based on how Krissy acts they always thought it was sexual assault of some sort but they could never prove it. Because what 12-year-old acts like a 25-year-old and tries to get into men's pants? They've only been here for a few years, so she was here before they were, but they've read all the notes from the previous Doctors. They were worthless; the Doctors didn't care at all about trying to cure her. They just shoved more pills down her throat and made sure she didn't try and kill herself again.

It wasn't until the seven of them showed up and Jin took over that they started to see some real progress. Teenie spent more time as herself. She still never talked, but the other Doctors rarely saw her. "Do you know who was holding you down and who was touching you?"

Ris sighed and put the phone down. "Yes, but we aren't allowed to talk about it."

"And why is that?"

Her eyes went wide, and Yoongi could see a few tears threatening to fall. "The last thing they said was, 'If you ever say a word about this, we'll do all of this or worse to Natalie.' We love Natalie, so that's why Teenie doesn't talk."

Yoongi was in shock. Who was Natalie? So he asked. Ris looked at him and smiled so brightly, "Natalie is my big sister and Teenie and Krissy's little sister. She's the best; she always brought us a stuffy to hold after the hurting stopped."

Yoongi jolted back, what the fuck. Does she have a little sister? He looked at the clock, and there was still an hour until breakfast; he needed to talk to his brothers about this. "Ris, since you were such a good girl today. Why don't you pick a show to watch until breakfast."

"Really? Can I use your tablet?"

He opened the drawer, pulled his tablet out, and handed it to her. "Of course, you can, sweetheart, but you only have an hour, so pick one you can finish."
