Clueless Boy - Minsung

Chapter 76

Minho was getting back into his own life, step by step.

He was a bit less like a zombie, and he was a bit more concentrated in class.

Leaving with Seungmin was a hassle, the two way too oftenly bickering like cats and dogs.

Seungmin would like to annoy him, stating that he must be treated like a prince because he let Minho crash there, and that would irritate Minho to the core.

But everytime Minho felt too down, missing his boyfriend too much, Seungmin gave him a shoulder to cry on.

Minho was still heartbroken.

He still spent some nights crying himself to sleep.

But knowing that Jisung was now safe and sound made him feel less in pain.

His rhythm was finally somehow normal, but he still didn't feel like hanging out.

He missed his routine with his lover, and that was too much to bear with.

He didn't want to go to the bar. He didn't have the strength.

Fortunately, he receives daily updates from Lia, informing him about Jisung's state.

That would make him smile behind his phone when the news were good, and frown in pain when it wasn't.

'Jisung has been going to therapy by himself'

'Jisung accepted eating without insisting'

'Jisung has been flinching less'

'Jisung had a panic attack today, but he's better now'

He liked to know what the younger was up to.

As much as he agreed on being away for Jisung's sanity, he only wanted him to feel better.

When Lia signaled him that Jisung had left for therapy, Minho took it as a cue to pass by and grab more of his own stuff.

Entering his dorm, he felt a way of nostalgia.

Oh how he missed being there with Jisung.

He walked to his room and picked up a few more clothes, then walked back to the living room.

He stopped again, in front of Jisung's room. He froze.

He wanted to get inside.

He wanted to see what it looked like, he wanted to smell his scent. He was only craving for a bit more.

But he didn't.

He wanted to respect Jisung's safe space, as much as it pained him it wasn't himself.

More days passed, and Minho was only hoping that time will do the work.

And at some point, he received a call.

"Hello ?" Minho asked confusedly, not recognizing the phone number.

"Hello" A voice said "I'm doctor Yoon, as you may know, I'm Han Jisung's therapist... Are you perhaps Lee Minho ?"

"Y-Yes" Minho gulped, somehow anxious about a conversation with her.

"Can you have a few minutes to discuss please ?" She asked softly.

"Yes, yes of course" He rushed to sit on a bench, concentrated.

"I won't enter in any detail regarding Han Jisung's condition, medical secret, but there are some things concerning you that I'd like to pick up. He wrote your full name for me, and I've been understanding that you and him have a special relationship, right ?" She asked.

Minho was insanely happy that Jisung thought of him.

"He- He's my boyfriend. Or was ? I mean... He was my boyfriend when it happened" He rambled confused "We- We also were roommates. We spent all our time together"

"Would you be okay to have a few sessions with me ?" She asked

"Y-Yes, but ... why ? Jisung needs help, doesn't he ?" Minho muttered

"Yes, that's why. I'd like to evaluate you, and I'd like to start an experiment with Jisung if you and he both consent to it. I'd like to slowly introduce people, mostly men, into his life, and you seem to be the perfect profile for this." She continued

And Minho was beaming.

"Yes, okay. I'll do it" He said, eager.

"Thank you" She said "But ...You have to know that it'll not be easy at all... He might be very reluctant, and it might never work, okay ?"

"Okay"

He wasn't scared, at all.

If he could do anything for him, he would.
