"She"

2. Past

;review
   Taehyung introduced a new consultor to Sooyeon, his sister. When they arrived, they were led to a room where the doctor was. As the door opened, they could see the figure of a man with broad shoulders, sitting on a black rotating chair.

(Sooyeon's POV)
    The opening door revealed a man in a light coloured sweater, the dark background of his chair revealing his broad shoulders more clearly.

"Ah, Mr. Kim! I'd like to talk to you for a moment." The man spoke up, while gesturing for me to leave the two for a short while.

I left the room and was led to the waiting room couch by the same man from before.
Dr. Lee Jong Suk, his name tag says.
"They might take a while explaining- would you like something to drink for the mean time?"

Meanwhile..

(Taehyung's POV)

"Please, do grab a seat."
I sat down on the chair across the professor and began to explain.

"You probably have noticed already from our surnames, but we're not blood-related siblings. Sooyeon's mother remarried my father when she was 9. I was 8 then. Although each of our only parent remarried, we weren't in bad terms. We actually got along well," I started.
"We got really close, and even shared secrets with each other. She told me about whatever had happened to her in the past. She was a sad child, who needed love and care- something she couldn't get from her parents." I stopped as my eyes were getting cloudy.

    "I'll just tell you a short description of it. I think it's better to let her tell you herself.."
    The professor just nodded.
"When her parents divorced, she moved in to her uncle's home with her mom. Her uncle abused her. Both physically and sexually. Yet her mother didn't care. Instead of stopping him, she let him abuse her own child. I think this was when it all started."

     "Alright. I think I got the hang of it now."
He stood up- probably about to call Sooyeon in for her session.

     As he passed by me, I grabbed his arm. "Wait," I called, "Please do well and help my sister." Professor Jin warmly smiled and walked away.

(Sooyeon's POV)
    After a few sips, I finished my tea and so did the meeting between Taehyung and Dr. Jin ended.
    I was called into the room and was asked to sit on the couch, the both of us sitting across each other.

    I looked around the room. It was just as expected of a psychiatrist's room. No clocks on the walls nor the desk, no abstract paintings or whatsoever thing that catches people's attentions. The room was simple. There was nothing made to be a bother for the patient.

     "Let's start by names," His voice covered the quietness of the room, "How do you want me to call you? Sooyeon-ssi? Ms. Lee?"
     "I think Sooyeon-ssi is fine," I replied.
     "Alright, you can just call me Dr. Jin then." He said while handing me a pen and some sort of form.
     "Can you fill this out for me? No need to think so hard, just write down the first thing that comes to your mind." And immediately, I started writing.

'What was/were your favourite moment(s) in life?' One of the questions asked.
Two things came in my head.
Meeting Taehyung, and meeting Joshua in the U.S. Those two brought happiness to my once dull life. I guess I can say they were my everything.

I moved on to the next question.
'What was/were your least favourite moment(s) in life?'

Directly, I skipped to the next question in line, only to find out it was a similar question to that- 'Have you ever experienced a trauma?' So I decided to just answer them.
     I wrote hastily, and in a shaking manner,
'Everything that happened until age 9.'
'I developed one trauma for the cold. Jackets are a necessity wherever I go. Other traumas include physical contact with people- which I have moved on from with the help of other consultors.'

     Once I answered all the questions I could, I flipped the paper to the blank part and submitted it.
     I started to get self-conscious everytime he flips a page, reading through my answers. "We still have some time left," Dr. Jin says- again, breaking the quietness between us, "May I ask you a few things?"

   "Who is this 'Joshua'?" He started interrogating me.
    "Boyfriend." I replied shortly.
    "Mm.. You met him in the U.S? Mind telling me how?"
    "Taehyung sent me there, for medication. I met him by coincidence and we started dating a few months after our meeting.. He's korean-american."

    "You chose them a lot for questions such as 'best friends', 'most important people', 'people you love'.. You wrote about your brother and boyfriend a lot... But not your own parents.. You didn't even include other people- like your classmates. It was just.. them two." 
     His third question made me freeze. The first two were simple questions out of curiousity. But this.. It was something that hit my heart hard like a rock.

    I gulped. I wasn't ready to tell my dark past to someone I just met for the first time. I know he's someone who wants to help me, but I can't open up so easily.

    I stood up. "It- It's time for me to go, isn't it?" I said loudly, flustered. "I think it's past two hours already." Averting my eyes, I tried to avoid looking into his absorbing black orbs. I grabbed my bag with shaking hands and went out the door, "I'll see you on our next session." I bowed and bid goodbye.

    I went out of the room looking dead, which attracted my brother's attention, and the other doctor's as well.

   "Noona!" Taehyung called, "you still have 30 minutes left, what are you doing?"
    This left me dumbfounded.
    "Don't waste the money we spent on this consultation! He's actually a pretty famous person in the medical world."

    "You need him anyways," Taehyung scolded me while pushing me back to the room.

I returned back to the room with my head down, my hair covering the embarassed look on my face, and went to my seat.

"Now, shall we really get started?" He smiled.
