"So you two are here for couples counseling?" The woman looks at the two men who were acting a little off. She opens her notepad after sitting down in the black leather chair. She takes a pen out of her dark red hair that was neatly placed in a bun.

Johnny frowns. "I... Well, we need to work something out. I believe that's it's best for us to talk everything out right here."

Jaehyun nodded, he wasn't really all there right now. With a distant stare in his eyes he bit his bottom lip. Why is Jackson only messing with him? If that little punk thinks that death is going to make Jaehyun shiver then he has another thing coming.

"Jae... you see sometimes he just zones out." Johnny says almost in a whine. "He never listens to me at all."

The therapist nods her head. She looks at the now black head, "Jaehyun, did you hear Johnny's concerns?"

Jaehyun shakes his head no. "He lies to me, how am I supposed to be sure if these are his true concerns?" Jaehyun raises an eyebrow up and down.

Johnny smacks his teeth. "He's only saying this because suddenly we would come here to talk about Jackson and the haunting."

The therapist tilts her head more to the side in confusion. She slowly taps her pen on her pink lips. "So you told him we would talk about Jackson but you are talking about your relationship instead?"

Jaehyun stands up. "Look Johnny, I know that I am driving us apart with this Jackson mess." Jaehyun admits. "I remember how close we were before the trip you took to New York."

The therapist snaps her fingers to get both of their attention and to also break the awful tension. Besides it was her job to pinpoint where the cracks in the relationship started for the solution. She places her hands together, "so where did this relationship start to wobble?"

Johnny looks at Jaehyun before answering, "well it all started after I came back from New York, he was bringing up Jackson left and right while accusing me of cheating."

"Ok." The therapist quickly jotted down what Johnny had said. Then she turns to a too quiet Jaehyun. "When was it a turning point for you?"

Jaehyun didn't even give it a second thought. "Well it all started the night before my birthday."

"It's been that long?" The therapist questions with an open mouth.

Jaehyun softly nods his head. "Yeah it was actually the day that Johnny left. That night I was asleep but I was awakened by a sound in the kitchen. Then Jackson walks out with a tall chocolate cake. I didn't eat it at all."

Jaehyun points to Johnny, "he called me and told me that Mark dropped off a cake and I thought it was fine. But then Haechan called me and told me that Mark and him were now delivering the cake."

Even Johnny's mouth dropped open. "B..."

"Every night that Johnny wasn't here I was harassed by Jackson. I was dragged out of the bed.... look I even have a burn on my arm I did to make sure I wasn't dreaming." Jaehyun shows everyone his arm. "I'm not making any of this up."

"Then when you put me to sleep, he kept coming to me. That's why I don't want to take that medication." Jaehyun takes a deep breath. "But it's you who doesn't listen to me. I might seem zoned out but I'm listening to everything you say."

The therapist claps her hands in the awkward situation. "That's nice. You said he always lies to you, can you tell me more?"

"Yes I can, he always says he loves me more than anything in the world, but when his boss calls and says stay he stays like I don't exist. He lied about his sexuality, he lied about him being done with both ten and taeyong, and now he is lying to me about cheating."

"Well surely there is something nice about your relationship right? Can you two tell me something good about each other? Johnny you first." The therapist points to disoriented from being a baffled male with the brown locks.

Johnny softly smiles, "everything. Baby I love everything about you. I didn't know how serious this situation was until now." Johnny walks over to jaehyun.

Honestly the brunette knew he was acting neglectful. So now he will face the consequences. Johnny grips Jaehyun's smaller ones. "I want to work this out because I wholeheartedly believe we have something special."

Jaehyun pulls Johnny in for a hug. "Same." Jaehyun smiles like a two year old when Johnny literally lifts him up out of his seat.

Gushing from behind her desk, the therapist claps and cheers lightly "you guys are so cute. So what are you going to do now that everything is practically solved?"

"Oh nothing is solved, just the Jackson issue has now ceased." Jaehyun frowns. "He only believes me now. Will he believe when we are not on your face?"

Johnny clicks his tongue on the roof of his mouth. "Yes I will, but will you tell me the whole story?"

It was now Jaehyun's turn to be offended. "If I try, would you listen?" With a decreasing tone Jaehyun whispers, "do you respect me enough to actually listen?"

Johnny nods his head yes. The American knew that he needed to take a risk, this risk could make or break their relationship. "Jaehyun you're right everything is correct, even ab..."

"I knew it. I'm leaving..."

Johnny forcefully grips Jaehyun's arm. With much strength he pushed Jaehyun down into the chair. "She kissed me and I felt really bad. I pushed her back but the damage was done. I feel like an idiot," Johnny slaps his forehead in frustration, "I knew I shouldn't have trusted her. But I did and she kissed me. She made me cheat!"

After that, Johnny looks to see Jaehyun's reaction. He was perplexed to say the least. Jaehyun was smiling? Who smiles when they have been cheated on?"

"Sorry.... you're serious right?"

Johnny nods his head as if it was the most obvious thing.

Jaehyun cracks up even more. "It was only one kiss that she delivered, correct?"

"Yes."

Both Jaehyun and the therapist started cracking up laughing. This was by far the most comical thing ever. Jaehyun couldn't believe that the American freaked out over one kiss.

Slowly Jaehyun stops laughing with the recognition of Johnny's action. Over one kiss Johnny flipped out. Jaehyun's eyes widen even more as the dots connect. Johnny really does care.

Jaehyun stood up when Johnny brought his hands to cover his red face.

The younger one says in a baby voice "Oh baby don't be upset it was just a kiss."

"Why are you laughing at me? I thought I was going to lose you."

Jaehyun's heart pangs but nevertheless he still teased Johnny.

~~~~~~

Now they were back home, the therapy session went pretty well. Better than what both of them thought to be more exact. Despite all of the love faults nothing is better than being in one another's embrace.

Jaehyun was facing towards the wall as Johnny hugs him from behind. Just when he thought life was getting easier Jaehyun saw him again.

"No..."
