OUTCAST CHAPTER: TWELVE
"Just because I'm strong enough to handle pain, doesn't mean that I deserve it."
2 weeks later
Jung now was in a straitjacket., He wanted to apologise, but couldn't as Eun was changed from being his psychiatrist. His new Psychiatrist was Dr. Baek Quin (pronounced as beck.) "Hello Jung, I'm your new psychiatrist Baek Quin" Baek Spoke as he gave him his hand, "Where is Dr. Eun?" Jung inquired. "Ah, Dr Eun? Eun Areum? Woah, was she your former psychiatrist? I need a moment little guy." Baek spoke amazed as he patted the boy's head and ran outside, Bumping into Augus. "Hey!" Augus retorted quite coldly. "Sorry Senior Min, I was going to see Dr. Eun," Baek smiled sheepishly, "why?" Augus asked. "Aren't you having a patient to tend to right now?" Baek nodded at the question. "I just wanted to find the reason behind my savior's sudden change in patients.." Baek spoke, "Saviour? You mean Eun?" Baek nodded. "Back at california, I was having Bipolar disorder, Mad-Mad disorder, she might have spoken about me, referring to me as 'nice lad.' Six long years ago. Eun Areum, my psychiatrist is the person that helped me overcome it, even though I'm having medications now, It's much better all thanks to Dr Eun Areum," Augus stared at him wide-eye. "So, you're a psychiatrist now?" Baek smiled at the question, "I was a psychiatrist before the disorder, I never knew, it got worse as time passed....." Baek replied, "So? Now, why'd you want to meet Eun?" Augus asked, "If she can handle a patient like Min, then she can handle everyone." Baek replied. "Who's Min?" Augus asked. "Min is the paranoid schizophrenic patient back at Seoul., He's the worst of all the patients, but Areum is only person, he trusts and let's, It's been worrying for them, so they put him in a straitjacket. He's too violent, and goodness knows how Eun manges him..!" He spoke, bewildered. "So, Jung is nothing compared to Min?" Augus asked. "He isn't too violent, but he can be." Baek replied. "Sorry Senior Augus, but I have too see Dr Eun." Baek Smile softly, and Augus replied with a nod and smile as well. "Well, well well, might as well give someone a tiny threat.." Baek mischievously smiled and entered Benjamin's cabin.
"Professor Benjamin!" Baek called out, "Yes, Dr Quin?" Benjamin greeted him with a soft smile. "I just saw Dr. Eun, and she's gonna quit. You did a really bad thing, professor." Baek Mentally laughed. He knew guilt-tripping and a little white lie won't hurt. "What? she's gonna quit, n-no, she can't, she's one of the best psychiatrists!" Benjamin panicked. "If you want her to stay, let her be in charge of Mr. Parker Again." Baek spoke. "Ah, okay, thanks Dr. Quin!" Benjamin spoke and took the file and hurried out. "Lmao, she's in for a big surprise." Baek smiled, and ran out, hurrying to Eun's office. "What... What just happened here?" Mai asked, she had come for some documents to be signed, and saw the whole drama. "Maybe I should try quitting as well, Benjamin is too cruel to me.." And mai left.

"Dr Eun! Senior Miss Areum!" Baek rushed through the doors of Eun's office. "Baek?" Eun asked, seeing the friend and patient of hers. "Why, Eun! Why did you end your charge on Jung?" Eun sighed. "I didn't do that..Benjamin did, his so called harming. Believe me, it's been worse since I was 13." Baek softly smiled. "I think, you may have to go against Benjamin sometimes, don't be a killjoy, go for risks, senior~" Baek mischievously smiled and winked, "you did something, didn't you?" Eun asked, suspiciously. "I may or may not have threatened Senior Professor on your case..bye!~" Baek laughed as he ran out the door. "Baek! Stop right Th-" There was the Professor Benjamin. With a sad and an unreadable expression. "Oh, Dr Eun, I'm sorry, though... It's okay, I'll put you back in charge with Jung., so please don't quit!" Benjamin pleaded. "O......Okay.....thanks... I guess...." Eun's mind who was quite troubling to process the information spoke. "Thanks a bunch!" Benjamin smiled, and left the file on her desk. "So. How's the feeling?" Baek asked. "Oh my, you are seriously annoying!" Eun asked, her face scrunching up in annoyance. "Yah!" Baek put his on hand on his chest, and pretended it was hurt., "Now, now, get going!" Baek pulled Eun up and guided her to Jung's room.

"D-dr E-eun...." Jung spoke, his voice wavering sadly at the sight of his favourite doctor leaving him. Eun remembered the words Augus told her that day.

FLASHBACK
"Arrange an appointment with Head doctor Benjamin." Eun spoke to her secretary as she walked out of Jung's room, hand still bleeding. "Yes, doctor. Anything more?" Jennifer, her secretary, nodded. "Nothing, you may leave." The secretary nodded as she made her way off.
LATER
"Hello Doctor, I'm here to dis-" Eun was cut off by Benjamin's question.
"Eun, do you really think being in charge of Jung will not bring you any harm?" Benjamin asked. "I don't care. I have been the psychiatrist of Michael, The Paranoid schizophrenic patient back at Seoul., I know to take care of patients with schizophrenia. It's not my first time. I been doing this for six long years. It's my pleasure. Do not try to bring the so-called safety in this., my job is risky, and I love risks." Eun spoke as she sighed and sat in one on the chairs. "Well, just warning you." Benjamin spoke. "Yes, you will, cause I make you more money," Eun shot back. "Dr Eun! That isn't the point. I'm saying Jung needs to.." Benjamin trailed off. "You don't suppose to send him to the detention centre, do you?" an another voice spoke, belonging to Augus. "Yes...." Benjamin spoke. "No! No, you can't he's underage,. He'd be tasered! He won't be able to handle that pain! He'd die." Eun' s worried voice panicked. "No, Director, what that child needs is love, he was deprived of that from a very young age. After being discharged, that child's parents, decided to disown him, on the name of their reputation., then, what will he call home?" Augus spoke, remembering that day.
FLASHBACK
"Dr. Min" William and Adelaide called out to Augus, "Yes, Mr and Mrs Parker?" The couple scoffed before saying, "We want to Disown Jung." Augus looked shocked and his jaw fell to the ground, "W-what?" The couple looked at him irritatedly, before saying. "We said, we want to disown Jung, he's mentally ill and we don't want that kind of child, Heck, if Adelaide knew, she wouldn't stay a moment before aborting him." Augus felt pity and sadness for the boy, struggling, and now his own blood hates him for something he never was responsible for. "Well, if that's what you want, I won't stand against, follow me." Augus smirked mentally, deciding to adopt Jung, (wink, wonky;)
PRESENT.
"W-What?" Eun spoke. "Yeah, that's true, they decided to disown him, and didn't even hesitate when I brought the papers. But, I've decided to adopt him, Hailey and I that is." Augus shyly smiled. "Eun, I want you to remember one thing, whatever the cost, please, look after Jung as if he is your son. Please." Augus pleaded and Eun smiled, nodding.
