Kyungsoo checked his watch impatiently for the fifth time and sighed silently. Across him, Kim Joonmyeon was seated and going through some papers and turned around occasionally to enter something into the computer before turning back to his papers.

Kyungsoo was supposed to be in Jongin's room right now as it was his session with the patient, but as Jongin has a knack for only making conversation on Mondays, Kyungsoo decided that it wouldn't mae much of a difference that he missed today's session. Kyungsoo and Joonmyeon were now waiting for Oh Sehun, the volunteer student, to come and talk with them and come to an agreement as to whether or not he would qualify to handle a patient.

A knock interrupted both males and Kyungsoo's head whipped too fast to the door.

"Come in," Joonmyeon said as he looked up expectantly at the door.

The door opened, and a boy, no more than twenty, stepped through it and into the room as he closed the door behind him.

"Doctor Kim Joonmyeon?" the boy asked, his eyes travelling to the male seated behind the desk and then to Kyungsoo.

"That's me. You're Oh Sehun, am I right?"

The boy smiled, his lips curling upwards slightly in the hint of a smile. "It's a pleasure to finally see you, sir," the boy walked up to the desk.

Joonmyeon stood up and shook hands with the tall male and then pointed to Kyungsoo, who was also standing.

"This is Doctor Do Kyungsoo."

Kyungsoo shook the hand extended towards him and shivered at the cold touch. As he looked at the boy's face, he fidgeted uncomfortably as the taller male's sharp eyes observed him from head to toe.

"Take a seat, Sehun," Joonmyeon said as he waved a hand towards the second chair placed opposite him.

Sehun bowed slightly and sat down and as did Kyungsoo and Joonmyeon.

"So, tell me, Oh Sehun, what is the reason that made you want to volunteer at this institute? Why not another out of all the institutes here in Seoul?" Joonmyeon asked as his gaze narrowed on the student.

Sehun's tongue darted out and licked his upper lip, his fingers drumming on his knee as he replied, "Well, although there are many institutes here in Seoul, I have heard about this one a lot and how good it is and the work of professional doctors from a lot of people, too. And Professor Kim also speaks highly of your institute and the way you run it."

"Of course he would," Joonmyeon smiled. "What made you choose Psychiatry as your major?"

"It's really interesting. In my past, there was a time when... things went a bit bad and I was traumatized for a really long time. My mentality was really unstable and I remember that it had affected me really badly that I couldn't speak nor think straight for days on end. I was taken to a psychologist and there was gradual improvement after a long time of several failed attempts. It honestly wasn't all that pleasant, really, and being in that kind of state, when I didn't know what to do and what not to do, it's was unnerving."

The male paused and pulled at his collar a bit. "I really don't want to remember those days, but it's a part of me and always will be, no matter how hard I try to forget it. And the feeling then was horrible. My psychologist helped me a lot to pull through that phase and I am eternally grateful for that. I want to do the same to others who might also be going through what I had once gone through and I want to help them as much as I can and to overcome the obstacles they face."
