~From beginning to the end~

Life has never shown him any kindness. All he knows is that, when one falls, there is no one to catch you at the other end. Life is not like a fairy tale either, where a Knight in shining armor is going to save you from the world and protect you with their life. 

Life is about struggle, pain and problems that one has to face and be brave because even nature doesn't  accept the weak ones. 

He is not that different from an ordinary person living an ordinary life, trying to get through life by any means and have a good meal at the end of the day. Albeit he earns well, lives under a good roof and in a protected apartment complex, things weren't always like that.

Right now as Baekhyun stood outside the large Glass door of SNU Hospital, he felt a strange sense of tingle running through him. He was feeling nervous, hands all sweaty and clammed up and he was unable to move forward. He didn't know what was happening but his sixth sense said that something was going to happen and he didn't like surprises because he was unable to stabilize himself in those situations.

But he had to move, otherwise he would miss his appointment with Dr. Park. He was the most reputed psychiatrist and getting his appointment was very difficult. He didn't appear for interviews and other hoax and faux representations. He was known for genuinely understanding his patients and had a record of healing all his patients, even those with severe issues. So when he found himself getting lucky, which was once in a lifetime thing for him to be, he confirmed the appointment for the earliest and now here he was. He really hoped that Dr. Park could help him, because he was his last hope.

He gathered himself and walked inside the huge glass door, going straight to the receptionist, who looked up and smiled at him.

"How may I help you, Sir?"

"Uhhh, I am here for an appointment with Dr. Park."

"Sure, Sir. Kindly tell your name and provide your ID card please."

"I  am Byun Baekhyun" he said while taking out his ID card and giving it to the receptionist.

She quickly recorded the credentials and informed him that he will have to wait for 10 minutes as Dr. Park was in a prior appointment and will be free soon.

He didn't mind waiting and sat in a corner of the waiting room after getting a glass of water from the dispenser. He checked his emails and sorted all his messages while waiting for his name to be called. 

Suddenly, he sneezed. What the  heck?! He thought, while wiping his nose. He didn't feel like he was going to get a cold, but here he was, sitting with a cold out of nowhere. 

He sighed and pulled out a mask, wearing it after finishing his water, when his name was called.

"Mr. Byun Baekhyun! You are next. Please go to Room No.5, Dr. Park's chamber."

He stood up and walked towards room 5. His hands were starting to act up again. He was trying his best to control his breath and stabilize himself as he opened the door to the doc's chamber. But when he saw who was sitting inside the room, he felt so shocked that he knew he was going to spiral again. 

Sitting infront of him, behind the white desk with glass top, was Dr. Park, but for him, it was Park Chanyeol, his first love, his only love, his dream, looking as breathtaking as when he had first seen him in the piano class in high school. 

A sudden wave of nausea hit him like a truck. He knew he was not going to puke, but this never got old and the sudden state of floating consciousness never managed to not scare him. It scared him to think that he is going to forever be stuck in his layered consciousness, never be able to come out and see the world through his own perspective and not through his other identities. That was his last thought when the consciousness of Baekhyun disappeared and was taken over by Kwan, the little personality of Baekhyun, his mental age being 10 years old.
