Dan Hwa : I think, I will just head upstairs.
And just like that, Dan Hwa was the first bird to fly off from the unity.
Dr.Ban : What about you? Call it a day?
Jimin looked at him with a blank expression and nodded. Almost mirroring Dan Hwa, Jimin too followed her flight.
The psychiatrist planted his forearms on the railing restfully, with a gentle smile. Judging from their responses, he grabbed right on the link the two had. Although his destination still seemed pretty blurry, he believed he caught the right track now.
It kind of was the unfortunate part of his job. He deliberately had to trigger their most agonizing moments, in order to heal their cores.

Being preoccupied with the disturbing realizations from the day before, Jimin spent a restless night.
Hence, very early in the morning, Jimin left his room to get some fresh air. On his way to hit the beach, he noticed Dan Hwa by the restaurant deck of the hotel.
The sky was painted a twilight blue then, with a characteristic cool haze alarming the onset of a mellow sunrise.
Jimin retrieved a few steps and approached Dan Hwa instead. Owing to his friendly personality, he could not but engage in a small talk with her. But before he could utter anything, her body language caught him in doubts.
Even though, it was fairly noticeable that a person walked into that space beside her. Dan Hwa seemed totally unaware; it appeared as if she was caught in a mental war.
Jimin watched her palms, clutching tight on the white railings. She shut her eyes and ducked her head forward, almost in the verge of hyperventilating.
That sight appeared like a deja vu to Jimin. He only had a minor doubt before, but it was growing to prove itself as real. That, maybe Dan Hwa had been the girl by the river, he met the few nights back.
Jimin placed his hand on her strained ones and called her name out. Characterizing a concerned tone, it was also fairly bold.
JM : Dan Hwa-ssi!
Under the crammed state, that voice had a comforting familiarity. She experienced a certain relief, assuming the same man, who saved her by the river not long ago, was by her side this very instant.
Once again, it seemed as if with his presence her soul could fight back the strong urges of her body. And so it did. Dan Hwa opened her eyes lightly panting to recover from the palpitations.
She looked up to the side, this time making sure to see his face, but grew disappointed instantly. Dan Hwa stole her sight away, wiping her sweat off and stabilizing herself. It was yet another hallucination, she affirmed to herself.
Never for the slightest bit, she considered Jimin to be that savior. It seemed far too irrational to her.
Dan Hwa : I am sorry, I-
She had a nervous panic in her voice. And Jimin created a safe distance to give her the needed space to feel comfortable and secure, once again.
JM : What for? I just walked in.
His simple act of oblivion relieved her greatly from the bombardment of self conscious thoughts.
