My Psycho Psychiatrist

Chapter 2

                                        Jennie

As Lisa left my office, I suddenly couldn't shake the whirl of emotions inside me. When Lisa's figure disappear from the door, Her leaving left me feeling drawn to her presence.

"What's wrong with me?", I thought, my heart's beating a little faster than usual.

The way Lisa had opened up during our session had touched me deeply. I think it wasn't just empathy I felt; it was something more.

With a sigh, I returned to my desk, my mind wandering back to our conversation. Lisa's gentle voice, her vulnerability, and the way her eyes sparkled when she talked about her photography—it all captivated me in ways I couldn't quite explain.

"Focus, Jennie", I scolded myself. "She's your patient. You can't let personal feelings get in the way."

But then I a heard knock coming from my door.

"Who could that be? I don't think I would be meeting a patient at this hour."

When I opened the door, a raven haired woman wearing an office attire greets me with a hug

"Jendeukie!!!" I just rolled my eyes when I realize who it was.

"Yah! Jisoo, what are you doing here???" I asked her a bit confused, "I thought she has an important meeting today?"

Yes, a meeting, my cousin Jisoo is the President of my father's company 'Chanel', if you're wondering why she's president and not me since my father is the CEO meaning i'm the heir, is because I don't want to; I just want to have a quiet life as a psychiatrist, and not to stress myself with endless papers and meetings.

Surprisingly my father agreed with me.

"Why? can't I visit my favorite cousin? you're making me sad Jendeukie," my goofy cousin answered while pouting.

I let out a chuckle "Hey, that's not what I meant, I'm just confused since you told me yesterday that you'll be having a meeting at the company regarding with your soon to be CEO position" I said, while I helped her carry the food she bought inside my office.

"Well, your father cancelled it, since there was an urgent meeting from his investors from the Philippines, that's why he had to take a last-minute flight." I just nodded while I chew the tteokbokki she bought for me.

"That's why I decided to visit you. It's a good thing I came here during your freetime."

"You actually got lucky because my patient just left a minute ago before you came," my heart once again beat abnormally, remembering the young photographer.

"Jisoo?"

"Yeah?"

"Can I ask you something?" I began to have second thoughts "What am I thinking??? she might find me weird asking her this."

"Shoot" I just sighed, welp here it goes.

I hesitated, choosing my words carefully. "So... I have this friend, another psychiatrist. She recently told me something... interesting."

Jisoo raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Oh? What did she tell you?"

"Well," I started, feeling nervous. "She told me that she started to feel attracted to one of her patients." Jisoo got surprised, she cleared her throat to answer

"Well... If I were in your friend's shoes, as a person, there's nothing wrong to have a little crush. We're all human, after all. We can't control it. But as a psychiatrist, It might be complicated because of the rules of professional boundaries.

"I see..." I mentally slapped myself, I shouldn't be thinking this kind of stuff.

I just changed the subject, I wasn't really thinking straight when I brought up that kind of issue. So we just talked for half an hour about her becoming CEO.

Jisoo's phone suddenly rang "Ooops, It's my secretary, I should probably go back to the company now" I stood up and made my way to walk her outside the hallway.

"It was nice talking to you Jendeukie"

I smiled "Likewise Chu, thanks for buying me lunch" Jisoo and I hugged before she went inside the elevator.

I walked back to my office.

"Gosh, Lisa, we just met earlier and you're already driving me crazy with these thoughts."
