Paranoid/ Y.J.N x L.M.H

It is wednesday and school finished at noon.

"I'm nervous for my first therapy session,like what if i mess up?!"Jeongin is outside school with Minho.

"It will be alright Innie,she said that her sister went there too and she felt better."Minho says with a soft tone caressing his hair.

AT THE OFFICE
"I'm scared..."Jeongin holds the hand of his mom tighter.

"It's first session which will last 15 only minutes, don't worry,i trust her"Maia reassures that her son isn't getting all that overwhelmed.
A door opens.

"Hi,Maia it's been a while since we talked,and as i can see the one next to you who is Jeongin,is here to feel better."Lea is a full on optimistic person.

"Heyyy,yes he is here to feel better,well bye Innie,i will be at my work!"His mom exclaims as she walks away and Jeongin hesitantly enteres her office and sits down where she points to.

"We'll do an introduction first!"For some people Lea might come off as overwhelming,but she just wants the best. Jeongin being unsure what to say,but Lea signs him that's it's okay to not make the first move.

"I am Lea Valdez and i will be your therapist for as long as you need to recover"

"Oh...erm...i am Yang Jeongin and i have a brother and sister.."Jeongin mentally slaps himself for being so hesitant.

The first session was just them introducing themselves and breaking the ice.

After the session.
Jeongin exits her office and sees Minho standing there, running up to him and hugging him.

"Hi Innieeee,how was your first session?"Minho asks with a soft voice hugging him back.

"It went pretty quick,we did some breaking the ice games"

Ryujin and Gahyeon are in the park it is sunny for a winter day and there are lots of people.But the girls are looking at each other,with a disappointed look at the fact that today they got detention again.

"I CAN'T FUCKING DO THIS ANYMORE LIKE WHY ARE WE GETTING DETENTION WHEN WE ARE DOING THE RIGHT THING LIKE,AND THE FACT TODAY FELIX GOT AWAY WITH WHAT HE DID!"Ryujin exclaims.Some people in the park are staring at the girls,but they don't care.

"WE WILL SADLY NEVER KNOW WHY FELIX IS A BULLY."Gahyeon adds.

"I know why Felix is a bully,we go to the same school."A girl behind them states.

Both say "huh"in unison, turning around to see a girl around their age standing.

"Oh wait i forgot to introduce myself, I'm Chaewon, Felix's sister."

"I am Gahyeon"
"I am Ryujin,and me and Gahyeon are cousins."

"Lovely weather for a winter day right? I went for a walk because i couldn't stand Felix's attitude."Chaewon giggles.

"We directly went here after we finished our detention and that brother of yours got away with what he did, it's unfair!"Ryujin tries to not raise her voice again.

"I understand the pain of you two,i tried everything to make him stop,but he's too stubborn."Chaewon states as they sit on a bench. "But i will say why he's like this."

"Well there are people who don't study and still get good grades but that's not the case for Felix,and this has been happening since he was young,he always grew jealous when he heard people mention how good their grades are,which made him copy from other people with the result of almost getting caught ,his social skills weren't the best either but he did have a best friend he trusted the most and spent every moment together.But one day he was in shambles when he told Felix:"I found someone more social than you,no idea why i befriended you in the first place."Which left him in shambles and it made Felix become who he is now today,a person full of malice.

"What i noticed is that Felix loves disrespecting people who aren't that talkative and rather prefer to keep quiet,it bothers me so much because i know a situation of this!"Ryujin tries to keep her cool.

"Can i ask who is my brother Felix bullying now?"

"Sure,the situation of this is that my brother Jeongin and his best friend Minho have been bullied for so long by him,Jeongin was already paranoid when he got a chainmail in fourth grade,and once he came in his life it just got worse, it's like a cement block was put on his soft interior,like he clearly sees the pain of the people he bullies but he doesn't care!"Ryujin wipes an upcoming tear away.

"The fact you described it as a cement block being put on his soft interior is true, it's fucked up how he refuses to acknowledge the pain in the victim's eyes."Chaewon nods.

"I don't even know why he's my brother."

Silence comes.
After a few moments Gahyeon decides to speak up.

"It was nice talking to you Chaewon and now we know why Felix is such an asshole,see you tomorrow,byee".
"I agree byee see you tomorrow."Ryujin adds.
Chaewon adds into the conversation too,as they get up and go into their directions.

At Minho's house
Minho is sitting on the couch, snapping gum while drawing and listening to music, he's an introvert and isn't that fond of large crowds. Quite the opposite of Giselle who doesn't mind lots of people. Suddenly he has a dry feeling in his throat, realizing his gum became hard so he spits it in a paper to throw it later away.

"Giselle told me that her dad accepts the fact that she's lesbian and my mom sees no issue with it too,but what would happen if i told them Jeongin is more than just a best friend...I mean..i already told mom that about it and she isn't upset at the fact that I'm gay but i don't know about dad.."Minho pouts remembering what his dad once said when his parents where still togheter.

"You can ONLY love people of the opposite gender,and you can ONLY identify with your birth gender,no other queer bullshit."

He tears up remembering that phrase.
Minho wipes his tears seeing his step-dad coming down stairs. But there is no use in wiping them away because he already noticed as he sits down next to him.

"Why did you cry Min?.."

"Ppleasse ddon't bbe upset bbut for me Jjeonggin is mmorre tthan a bbest ffrriend..."Minho starts crying again.

"Why would i be upset at you just because you like the same gender, being yourself is the most important"His dad hugs him, wiping Minho's tears away.
