"Hello, Lisa. I'm Dr. Jennie Kim, I'll be your psychiatrist from now on. It's a pleasur...
I just finished up my last session for the day, I began to tidy my office, gathering papers and organizing my desk. But when I was fixing all of my patient's files something caught my eye that made my heart skip a beat. It was Lisa's file with the others.
Taking a seat, I picked her file up, and traced my fingers over it, as I recall our session earlier.
An idea suddenly popped into my head.
I quickly grabbed my phone and opened Instagram, searching her name on it, and there it was.
"Lisa..." I breathed out.
To my relief, her account was public, allowing me to see more of her life.
As I scrolled through her profile, I noticed some few pictures with the same girl, I then felt a churn in my stomach.
"This can't be the Somi girl right? She told me they've broken up for almost a year now.." I pondered silently. But curiousty got the better of me, I quickly clicked the tagged profile.
And to my relief it was her bestfriend Chaeyoung she told me about earlier.

But then I noticed something— some of their background seems familiar to me.
minutes of thinking, realization hit me.
Lisa and I have been visiting the same coffee shop. Going there before work has been my routine for months now ever since I discovered that shop, It's one of my favorites actually.
Huh, that's why her bestfriend also seems familiar, she works there.
But the thought of crossing paths with Lisa during those times made me smile.
Jennie's House 11:47 pm
I'm at home now, it was almost midnight, I'm finishing editing some of my patient's records before I go to sleep.
All of a sudden my phone rang.
"Who could be calling me at this hour?" I asked myself, slightly confused. I immediately picked it up, it might be an emergency from one of my patients.
"Hello?"
"Hi, Dr. Kim this is Lisa." I got surprised. Hearing her voice, I felt a tingle in my stomach, much a different feeling from when I saw some photos of her bestfriend earlier.
I dismissed all of my thoughts and composed myself to be professional.
"L...Lisa? Hi, I'm surprised that you called, How can I help you at this hour?" Shit. Why did I stutter.
"Yeah, sorry for calling this late, I just wanted to talk to you about something.." I began to worry.
"Is everything okay?"
"I... I'm very sorry, but I was thinking of cancelling everything, I know my therapy session just started earlier, but just like I said, it wasn't really my plan to go, besides I'm facing some financial problems right now, so I really can't afford going to therapy."
I felt my world stopped. I don't know what to feel, but I do know is I can't let her leave that fast.
"Dr. Kim?" I snapped back to reality, leaving my thoughts.
I then cleared my throat.
"I understand the problems you're dealing with right now... but I really can't afford losing a patient I know that really needs my help."
She became quiet, probably confused.
"That's why I've decided to make our sessions free of charge now."
"Huh?"
I chuckled "I said, from now on all of our sessions will be free until you're okay."
"W..why? don't you think that's a bit too much?"
"Lisa, as your psychiatrist, I just want what's best for you,. So if money is the problem, you really don't need to worry, it doesnt really matter to me, helping you is my only concern." I assured her.
"You're really something else, Lisa, making me do things I don't really do. It's driving me crazy..."
"Wow.. I don't know what to say, Dr. Kim, I really appreciate your offer, but can I think about it first? if it's okay with you." I sighed, I just hope she would come around.
