duri looks over at jeongin and changbin. "so changbin. you scheduled this appointment yesterday. did something happen? is everything alright?"

jeongin plays with changbins fingers, avoiding eye contact with the other two. "uhm.. I.. well.. seungmin had a really bad flashback and he hurt himself... dug his nails into his skin and just.. well.. I felt helpless. he was stuck in the flashback for so long."

"when seungmin left with felix, jeongin came over to us. he let out a distressed signal. I've never heard him do that. except for when we first met him." changbin says and duri nods.

"alright. lets start with why you felt helpless. was it because you kept trying things and it didn't bring him out right away?" duri asks and jeongin nods. "that will happen sometimes though jeongin. I'm sure you've had flashbacks that lasted a while before."

"yeah but... I just hated seeing him hurt.. felt like when I was on the street... trying to protect the omegas.. but I couldn't cause I was getting held down." jeongin cries softly and changbin rubs his back

"is that why you let out a distress signal?" duri asks and jeongin nods "kind of... thought I was getting held down for a second."

"why didn't you tell us? we would've backed away from you." changbin asks and jeongin sniffles "because I knew you would do that and I didn't want you to... I wanted you guys close.. it helped me feel better."

"but you have to communicate that. if you still wanted them close you could've said that along with how you felt. it's important for your packmates to know so they can help reduce the triggers." duri says "I want you to work more on communicating these things. it's important to do so all the time, not just sometimes."

jeongin nods, hiding his face in his hands. he sobs softly and shakes his head. memories of seungmin in that village flood his brain.

duri comes over to jeongin "jeongin, come back to us. don't go there. stay here."

"I can't... I.." jeongin sobs and changbin pulls him closer. "okay, I want you to name 10 objects in the room that are red." duri says and jeongin slowly looks around.

"uhm apple... coat.. hat headphones... folder.. mouse... keyboard.. the book.. waterbottle.. and.. oh the lamp shade." jeongin sniffles, looking at duri.

"did that help?" duri asks and jeongin nods "great! so that's one technique you can use to regulate your emotions. changbin, I suggest you tell your pack about this method so if he's panicking you guys can help him. it has to be idenifying a certain number of items that are a specific color. this gives him enough to focus on so that he isn't dwelling on whats causing him to panic." changbin smiles and nods "alright. will do."

"unfortunately we are out of time. I'm glad you guys came in today. hopefully this method can help you more often. take care okay?" duri says

"thank you duri. see you next week." changbin says, leaving with jeongin. jeongin hugs onto changbin and cries softly. "oh baby. you did so well. alpha is so proud of you. our little baby alpha did so well yesterday. taking such good care of seungmin. but you have to take care of yourself too yeah?"

jeongin preens and snuggles into changbin, nodding slowly. "good. lets get you to the car and we can cuddle till you feel okay enough to go home. sounds good?"
