"She"

3.

Sooyeon's POV

"Tell me everything." Dr Jin says.
"I'm not sure where to start-" He cut me off, "Your parents."

I took a deep breath and started explaining.

" As a child, I was always neglected. Never was there a moment where I was cared for and loved. My parents were always busy with work and the fights among them. I was lonely and made a few imaginary friends, Taeng and Hobi, who became my alters now. They come out as the bright, playful young child I should've been when I was 4.

After a few more fights and discussions, my parents decided to divorce. I was just 5 years old then. But to be honest, it didn't hurt as much when they told me about it. I was used to being left alone. Nothing would really change actually, or at least that was what I thought.

   Everything that happened after that was worse than before. My mother and I moved in with my uncle, who started harassing me. And everytime he did that, I could always see lust in his eyes. I became afraid of physical contact. He was a pedophile, an sm fetish at that. But it didn't stop my mother from neglecting me. She didn't care. She caught him molesting me, yet she didn't even batter an eye.
    My uncle took me out once. It was a cold night, and I was dressed in nothing but my thin innerwear. I was 6 years old then. He locked me out of the house for half an hour, letting me freeze in the cold. Still, my mother didn't care. Ever since then, I always prepare a jacket to everywhere I go."

I looked up to Dr Jin, and saw his gaze piercing on me, which made me nervous. I cleared my throat. "I think this is enough for today-" But once again, he cut me off.
"Are you afraid of them?" I stuttered, "M- My parents, you mean?" After a few seconds of silence, I replied once more, with a little bit more courage, "No."
    But with his one question, "Then what about that uncle of yours?" My courage which I just built all slipped out of me. I couldn't look at him nor could I give an answer, but it seemed like he understood my thoughts and feelings right away.
"You have to confront them then," he told me, "It's the only way to save yourself."
"Alright," He stood up, "You may go now." He then walked towards the door and gestured gentlemanly for me to leave.

I walked out the door to see Taehyung with lots of expectation. "How was it?" He asked as we went to pay for today's consult.

Dr Lee Jongsuk's POV

I bid goodbye to the adorable siblings, and was greeted with my panting brother as I turned back from the door.
"Hyung, can you help me with something?" He asked me with pleading eyes, which I couldn't resist.
"Yea, of course, anything for my brother! What is it?"
"I need you to get extra information on Sooyeon's parents, including their addresses. Can you do that?"
"Haha, why do you think I can?"
"Eyy, I know you have great connections!"
"And so do you," I winked, "But alright, I can do that."
"Thanks," He then winked back at me.

I immediately grabbed my phone to search for any of my contacts who may know them.
"Lee Sooyeon.. Parents: Lee Hwi Jae, Kang Mina..."

"Kang Mina, Kang Mina.. Kang Mina..." I stressed on the name of her mother.

Ah! Found it.
Jeon Jungkook.

Dr Jin's POV

I looked at the profile of the contact my brother introduced me to.
"Jeon Jungkook.." I read, "A young guy??"
"Yea!" Jongsuk replied, "Someone who knows her mother."

"Mind telling me how?"
"His father is a friend of Sooyeon's mother. Well, that's all I know for now."
I just stared blankly at the piece of paper, while my brother was busy scrolling through his phone.
"Anyways, I have to go now! Sorry kid."
"You said you were going to help me find their address?!"
"Can't, I have some urgent business at the hospital," He told me, a guilty expression plastered on his face.
"Oh.. Then I guess it can't be helped. I'll just contact this guy myself then."
"Sorry!!" The worry-wart then ran out of my office.

I took my phone out of my pocket and dialed the number.
ddiririring
One call.
Two calls. Three.
And then finally.
It took a while to get an answer.

"Hello?" A male from the other side called.
"Hello, this is Dr. Jin."
"Um, I think you got the wrong number," the guy said in a monotone. And then faint whispering could be heard not so far from the phone, "Plus you're not even a girl so..."
"I'm not here to get laid, young guy. Also, I'm straight. Anyways, I'll just cut to the chase. Do you know anyone by the name Kang Mina?"
"Kang Mina? Uhh let me see," his voice started fainting, "Ah! Yea actually I do-"
"Great," I cut him off, "Let's meet. I'll do my explaination once we do. Hongdae's McDonalds at 5?"
"Excuse me?" I left him confused as I ended our call.

It was strange to ask a random person to meet. I don't even know what he looks like or if he lives near Hongdae. But I did it anyways.

I looked at the watch on my wrist as I waited for him to come. 4:58, almost time.
The door opened, along with greetings from the workers. I looked up and raised my hand in case it was him.
He seemed to recognize me as he walked towards the table.

"..Jin?" He asked.
I stood and nodded.
"Oh! So you wanted to know about Mina, huh? Ok- Okay, I can introduce her to you!" He quickly grabbed the seat infront of mine and started talking fast. "Right, so Mina, she's a high school student in her 2nd year. And well, she's pretty and all but don't you think she's too young for you? Wouldn't that be a crime? So I was thinking maybe I can introduce you to some other women instead. A noona? Or a younger one? How 'bout that?"
"Wait!" I stopped him, "What??"
"What?" He asked back, "You asked for Kang Mina. I thought you had the hots for her or something."
"Um, No??" I sighed, "Kang Mina, your father's friend?"
"Oh" was all he said.

"What's your relation to her?" His gaze became cold, and his voice as well.
"It's not me, but my patient."
He remained silent for a while before speaking again.
"What's her name?"
"I'm sorry but I can't provide any information on my patients."
"Then I guess I shouldn't tell you my information about Kang Mina?"
A sigh left my mouth again.
"Lee Sooyeon."
"Aah," a smirk grew on his face.
"The child.." He said in a quiet whisper.
