I'M NOT FOR YOU (JENLISA) (adaptation story)

Cap. 47 - Report Book

One year later

- "Jennie... Why don't you take a seat and try to calm down a bit?" - insisted the psychologist. Jennie had entered Dr. Lee's office ten minutes ago and she hadn't stopped walking back and forth, clearly confused by something, under the attentive gaze of the professional. After the businesswoman ignored her request, the psychologist took her time to fill Jennie's glass with water and then looked up again to find the brunette with her back to her and attentively looking at the wonderful painting that the woman had seen. had recently purchased for a substantial sum of money at auction.

- "What a bad taste" - Jennie murmured loud enough for the woman to hear her and then start a quieter but still rumbling walk through the entire office of the one who attended her every week for almost a year.

Far from being offended by Jennie's comment about the painting, the fifty-something smirked. She had been knowing every little corner of Jennie Kim's mind for a long time to be bothered by her comments and to be frank, she didn't like the painting either, in fact she wouldn't have bought it if her stupid ex-husband hadn't paid for it - "Jennie..." - tried again

- "It's not that I'm surprised by your bad taste in decoration" - The businesswoman attacked again.

The woman didn't stop smiling - "Jennie..."

- "That is, look at that other painting" - She pointed to another of the paintings that hung in the office. The professional looked simply to indulge her patient - ​​"It's horrible" - Jennie pointed out - "And not to mention the giant sculpture at the entrance. My mother can die just by looking at her. And I don't want to imagine what would happen if she sees the disgusting paint color on her walls" - she let out a mocking snort - "It's not surprising either, the whole building is in pieces."

The psychologist shook her head and did not prevent a small laugh from coming out of her mouth - "Jennie, do you remember that in the session we had..." - the woman turned several pages of her notebook to confirm the date - "... approximately before the weekend parties of the year... we talked and discovered some of your defense mechanisms?" - Jennie was going to have to reflect

- "What about my 'defense mechanisms'?" - The businesswoman mocked while she continued to turn her back on the woman and inspected her library, passing her finger and then making an automatic gesture of disgust when she found a lot of dust on it.

- "What had we said were your main ways of defending yourself when something bothered you?" - Asked the professional at the same time that she took a pen to highlight something on the page that she had found and to note herself that she had to ask her employee to clean the library.

- "And you think I can remember those stupid things?" - Reproached the brunette, minimizing the woman's task.

- "I think if you remember them. What's more, I think that right now you are using one of them. Do you remember the two main ones and the ones you externalize most frequently?" - She insisted. Over the years, and with her experience, she had discovered that it was always good to make patients realize their mistakes on their own.

Jennie had grabbed a book and flipped through it roughly. The professional waited patiently for the brunette's voice to come out - "Aggression was one of them" - not because Jennie was violent with her hands, on the contrary it was with her words.

- "Exactly, but I like more what your friend calls it..." - the woman turned to her first sheet where she had written down with name and relationship followed by her own conclusions, the people who were important in Jennie's daily life - "... your friend Jisoo How is she telling you?"

- "Being a damn bitch" - answered Jennie, acknowledging that her main defense mechanism was based on using all kinds of strategies to make the other person feel the worst thing in the universe.
