As a therapist things aren't so great for me.

I hate it.

Nothing interesting comes along.

That is until I met the most serious and most interesting case of them yet.

Kwon Jiyong.

Well he wasn't the first person I met.

It was actually Charlie.

It was four o'clock in the afternoon.

I was walking down the halls to my office until a male stood at the front of my office door.

"Excuse me? Who are you?" I curiously asked.

"Are you Ms. Lee. Lee Chaerin?" he asked.

"Yes. That is me. But may I ask your reason for being here?" I waited for an answer.

"I think we need help." He says to me

.

I looked around the office.

It was only the two of us located at this specific area.

"We? What do you mean We?" I asked.

"We as in the if the other personalities Jiyong has in his body." he explains to me.

"So your name is Jiyong?" I asked him.

He shook his head.

"My name is Charlie. I am one of the personalities that is in Jiyongs mind. He needs help. He doesn't know about us." He says to me.

I take out my keys in a state of shock and quickly open the door.

"Please. Please come in." I greeted him inside.

He walks inside the office and looks around curiously.

"So Charlie. What do you mean by us?" I asked as I took a seat on the chair.

I signal him to sit right in front of me and he listened.

"Jiyong in the main person. The real owner of this body. I am Charlie and the other personality is Roberto." Charlie explains.

"Roberto? Is he Spanish?" I asked as I wrote down everything.

"I don't know what he is. I don't really talk to him. All I know he is always out here when Jiyong gets mad, there is music playing or if Jiyong finds somebody attractive." He explains.

I look at Charlie.

How incedible it was to find out that I have finally met a person who has multiple personalities.

His pupils dialated as he looked at me.

"We need help Ms. Lee. Jiyong needs to know about us or else he will suffer and think he is crazy." Charlie begs.

"I'll do what I can. I'm sure it will shock Mr. Kwon greatly. Are you sure it is just you and Roberto?" I asked.

He nods.

"Just us." Charlie replies.

"Well Charlie. Lets talk about you. Tell me who and what you are." I asked.

"My name is Charlie. I am 16 years old. As you can see I am not much of a person with style. I don't talk to people. I don't smile. I am the one I charge of controlling when Jiyong changes personalities." He intoduces himself.

"You are 16 then Charlie? You are a young boy." I said.

"Jiyong is 27. So yes I'm the youngest." he explains.

"Is there anything you do?" I asked.

"I help Jiyong write his stories. And I play the guitar. I sometimes sing." he says.

"Hmmm. You are a talented boy." I smiled.

He looks away and looks around my office.

"Your office is pretty big." he says.

"Yes. I like giving my paitents a comfortable environment when they come for therapy." I explain.

I point at the piano near my chair.

"This is where one of my patients play. She does it to calm her stress and anger problems." I explain.

"Do you have a guitar?" he asks.

"No. But I guess I need one now Don't I?" I asked.

Charlie shruggs. "I don't care. I was just asking."

I smile at his childish response.

He is a teenager.

Charlie looks out the window.

"I heard that you were the best. So I came to you." He says.

"I've never gotten a case like yours. But I will try to do the best I can to help you three." I patted his shoulder.

He backed away.

"I'm sorry." I said.

"Its just. I don't like being touched by people that's all." Charlie shakes from the sudden chill.

I nodded.

I wrote down in my notebook.

'Do not Touch Charlie'

Charlie hands me a small paper.

"This is the address to where Jiyong lives. Go to his house. He won't come here becaus she won't remember since it was me who came." he says.

He also takes out 2 books from his backpack.

"These are some books written by Jiyong with the help of myself of course. These are his most famous. Its the best way I can pay you at the moment." Charlie says.

"No pay. Its on me." I said.

Charlie looks up at me and nods.

I nodded in return and waved as he walked away from my office.

I look down at the paper.

'4567 Spooner St. Apt. 67. Do not be late be there at 1 o'clock. Jiyong doesn't bite. He is the nicest of us all.'

I smiled. I cannot wait to meet this Amazing Jiyong.
