My Home

CHAPTER 2

"Hyung, I'm leaving for the clinic. See you, bye." Taehyung said getting up from the dining table after eating his favourite strawberries with melted chocolate for breakfast,to his brother who was having breakfast at the dining table.

"Have a good day, Taehyungie." Namjoon said to his younger brother while chewing his pancakes. He smiled at the younger who left hastily as he was late for his clinic. He might be a grown up and a therapist now but for Namjoon he is always gonna be his cute young brother who he loves so dearly.

Taehyung quickly got into the driver seat and wore the seatbelt. "I'm late again. I should probably wake up an hour early from tomorrow." He said to himself as he started driving towards the clinic. He reached the clinic in almost 30 minutes.

"Good morning Mr.Kim. The patient is waiting for you in the therapy room. He is been there for over 20 minutes now." The receptionist in Taehyung's clinic said with a smile as Taehyung walked in the clinic. Taehyung nodded and said
"Yeah,I'm late. I'll go in then." Taehyung said to the receptionist as he walked towards the therapy room.

He pushed the white and cream colour door open and walked in to the relaxing and comfortable room. He saw a boy with a face very similar to a bunny sitting on one of the couches. Jungkook was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't even noticed Taehyung walking in.

"Hey, I'm sorry for being late." Taehyung said while he sat down on a couch in front of Jungkook. Jungkook looked up annoyed.
"You should be sorry for making your patients wait." Jungkook said to him in an unpleasant manner.

"You seem annoyed. Is it because I'm late?" Taehyung asked jungkook trying to know the reason of the other's annoyance.

"None of your business." Jungkook said to him, not giving a flying fuck about being rude to someone who haven't done anything to him.

"I am getting a feeling that you didn't came here from your own will." Taehyung said looking at the other.

Jungkook looked at the other shocked for a second and then got back to his 'idgaf' attitude.
"It's not like that."

"Okay. If you say so." Taehyung said trying to make Jungkook feel comfortable. "Let me introduce myself. I'm Kim Taehyung. Your Therapist. Jungkook, right?"

"Yeah. Jeon Jungkook." Jungkook said firmly. It was true Jungkook didn't like being here at all. He was here for his friend's happiness.

"This is a safe place, Jungkook. You can talk to me about anything." Taehyung tried to ease Jungkook because the younger seemed tense.

Jungkook just continued looking at him bored.
'He's gonna be a tough one.' Taehyung thought to himself.

"So, tell me Jungkook. What brought you to therapy?" Taehyung asked calmly trying his best to make the younger feel like he could talk to him about anything.

"I don't know. I don't wanna talk about it." Jungkook said not wanting to open up to the elder. How could he believe a stranger? He didn't know him. He didn't even wanted to talk to him in the first place.

"Okay, then we won't talk about it yet. You can tell me whenever you feel you are comfortable." Taehyung understood that Jungkook didn't come here with his own will. Otherwise, he wouldn't have declined to talk to him about his problems.

It wasn't the first time for Taehyung when people are too scared to open up. Sometimes, His clients are people who didn't seek help themselves. It would be their friends or family who made them do it. He understood that it is hard for some people to trust others. He completely understands their feelings.

After all, he used to be one of these people. He couldn't trust anyone. Not even himself. He was too scared to trust. So, he completely understands why Jungkook wouldn't want to talk about his feelings.

"So, Let's get to know each other first. Shall we?" He asked with a smile trying to take it easy with Jungkook.

"I'll tell you about myself first. So as you can see, I'm a therapist. But i also have other interests. I like going to art galleries. I love the paintings of Vincent Van Gogh. I like photography too. I also have a thing for fashion, you know. I like collecting fashionable clothes. Oh, and i love reading comics too."

"Woah, you sure like a lot of stuffs." was the only thing Jungkook said after Taehyung finished ranting about what he likes.

"Well, yeah. Don't you have any hobbies and interests?" He asked Jungkook hoping for him to atleast tell him his likes.

"I do actually." Jungkook at first didn't wanted to talk about anything with Taehyung at all. But after seeing him ranting about what he likes made Jungkook want to share with him a little. "I am a painter. I finished University recently. I like painting and singing."

Jungkook didn't share much with Taehyung but atleast it was something.

"Oh you are a painter. I'd love to see your work. What a coincidence. I like admiring art and you like creating the art." He said really liking the fact that Jungkook is a painter.

"Well, my art does not need to be admired by you." Jungkook said rudely to the elder. Yes he did told him what he likes but that does not mean he would show him his paintings. His paintings were a part of him. He draws what he feels. He doesn't want to show his deepest darkest sides to someone he just met.

"But Why don't you want to show me your work?" Taehyung asked the younger with a little disappointment as he was kinda excited to see the paintings he made.

"Just because." Jungkook didn't tell him the real reason because he was too exhausted to be even having this conversation. What did he do that he is this exhausted? Absolutely nothing but sleeping in his bed. But he still felt exhausted mentally.

"Okay. Let's talk about our dislikes now. So what don't you like?" Taehyung changed the topic because he didn't want Jungkook to feel pressured by him.

"No. I don't wanna talk anymore. I want to go home." Jungkook didn't want to talk anymore. He just wanted to be in his bed sleeping.

"Fine. I'll text you the location for our next session." Taehyung said to Jungkook casually.

"We aren't having the next session here?" Jungkook asked confused.

"Not exactly. I like to talk with my clients in different locations. It improves the mood, you know." Taehyung said smiling at Jungkook.

"Whatever." was the last thing Jungkook said to Taehyung before getting up and leaving.
