It's Hannah appointment day to her psychiatrist. I ask for a day off today so I can accompany her and Helene.

Hannah was once again silent while we were eating breakfast. I asked her what was wrong, and all she did was shake her head.

The hospital structure towers over us. Hannah's hold on my hand tightened.

When we walked in, people looked over to us. I put on a face mask and lowered my hoodie so no one could recognize me.

A lovely lady greeted us, and I assumed she was Hannah's psychiatrist.

"Are you ready for our session, Ms.Choi?"The doctor inquired.

Hannah responded with a nod.

A nurse led us into a room where we could watch and listen to the session.A one-way mirror allows me to see Hannah. She was lying in a recliner chair.

I had to keep my cool when the doctor started questioning Hannah.

"Hannah, could you please tell us what has been on your mind recently?"

"I am not certain. Hannah said softly, "I have so many thoughts going through my head.

"Could you please give me one?"

Tears welled up in Hannah's eyes.
I was itching to enter and bring her home. I can't see her like that.

The doctor called out, "Ms. Choi," to get Hannah's attention.

Hannah muttered, "I feel like a different person."

Why is this the case?

"He touched me!"Hannah let out an unexpected yell. "Whenever I close my eyes, I can feel him on top of me!" The sensation of his repulsive naked body against mine is tangible! His breath is coming into contact with my skin! I can feel his lips brushing against mine! I am disgusted! He is filthy. You understand how it feels, don't you?Huh?! She lashed out at the doctor.

Hannah's outburst caught us off guard.

"Hannah, please calm down!" The doctor made an attempt to reassure her. 

"Yoongi!Yoongi!"

I quickly exited the room and went to Hannah's room on the other side. Taking off my face mask and hoodie. I saw the nurse's reaction when she saw me.

I opened the door, and Hannah jumped out of her seat. I dashed to catch her before she fell to the ground because she was unsteady.

I leaned in and whispered, "I got you,baby." "I'm here."

"Yoongi," she sobbed against my chest.

The doctor examines us closely. I sat in the chair and drew Hannah into my lap.

"Hannah?" After I had calmed her down, I heard the doctor call her.

"Yes," she mumbled. Her voice was muffled by the thick material in my jacket. She never lifts her head from my chest.

"Yongi, who is he?"

"He saved me. He was my savior, she says.

How, exactly?

"When the devil attacked me, I recognized his call." I am aware of this because I have personalized my caller ID for him."

"Go on, Hannah," the doctor gently encouraged her.

"I was calling for help. In my mind, I was calling out for Yoongi. It is impossible for me to scream. I am unable to move. I felt extremely terrified. Then my phone started ringing. He became sidetracked. "I pushed him off of me with all my strength, and he fell off the bed." Hannah related.

"Is this the first time he has treated you that way?"The doctor persisted in her questions. Hannah stiffened, and I wished she would quit.

"No!" Hannah exclaimed, breaking down yet again.

Helene extended her hand to comfort her. "Why didn't you tell us,Hannah?"

"I do not want to be the cause of our family's problems, but I am afraid I might." Hannah was sobbing as she spoke.

"What has he done?" The physician then proceeds.

Hannah repositioned herself on my lap. I reassured her that I was there for her by hugging her tightly.

"While leaving the bathroom, I noticed Ronnie on my bed. Hannah paused for a moment.

Helene encouraged her, "Go on, sweetie."

"I left my clothes on my bed and he mast*rbated on them. He was rubbing it on himself and inhaling the scent. It is repulsive.

The doctor inquires, "What did you do?"

I took a step back and locked myself inside the restroom.I heard him just outside my bathroom door and assumed he was gone. Attempting to pry it open."

Hannah had started trembling. I wanted to tell her to stop, but she needed to express herself.

I know you are in there," he said. "It will be you the next time." I could tell she was getting weaker as she finished telling the story.

"Hannah?"Again, the doctor called. Why will not she simply stop?

"Are there any other times we could do this?" I lost my cool.

Helene placed her hand on my shoulder to get my attention. I turned to face her. "Yoongi, she needed it. If we wait until later, she may become withdrawn again.

I let out a sigh of frustration. However, I must maintain control over it.

Hannah still needs to see the psychiatrist for a few appointments. She did, however, inform us of the significant progress made during the most recent session.

Hannah and I are sitting on a couch near the window, cuddling. After hearing everything, I can not bear the thought of leaving her. Who would have guessed she was hiding her pain from the world?

"Hannah?"

"Hmm?" she responded.

"Do you recall anything from our previous conversation?"

"Which conversation?"

"Remember how you said it's not my fault and we have no control over what other people do around us?"

"Yeah," she muttered.

"Let me tell you right now. You are not responsible for what happened. Okay?"I told her while hugging her tightly.

"Okay, Yoongi-si, I believe you," she said softly.

"Yoongi?"

"Yes?" I replied.

"Please kiss me," she asked, turning around to face me.

I gladly oblige her request. I softly cupped her face. She shut her eyes when my lips touched hers.
