Third person

Hoseok quickly jumped up when he saw Jimin walking through the doors.
He walked over to him and said goodbye to the doctor as they left.

"I paid ahead of time so we could just leave once you got out."

Hoseok informed him.
Jimin just nodded staying quiet.
Hoseok wanted to ask him how the session went, but he'll wait till they get in the car.
They both got into the car, the awkward silence still upon them as Hoseok drove home.

"So, how was the first session?"

He decided to break the silence.
Jimin shifted uncomfortably in his seat.

"It w-was fine."

Was his only answer.
He didn't feel like talking about it now.
He just wanted to go home and lay down in his bed.

They reached the house.
Hoseok parked the car in the driveway and sat there.
Jimin didn't move either.

"Jimin, are you sure it went ok?"

He reached out for Jimin's hand.
Rubbing comfortable circles on his knuckles.
Jimin flinched slightly at his touch but calmed down.

"Y-yeah, just touched a. . .uncomfortable subject."

Hoseok knew exactly what he meant.
Jimin's parents.
He knew Jimin didn't like talking about them, but going to therapy you have to talk about things your uncomfortable with.
Hoseok nodded gently.

"Ah, ok Jimin."

He let go of Jimin's hand, getting out of the car.
Jimin frowned at the loss of contact from Hoseok.
He got out of the car as well, slowly waddling behind Hoseok at they walked in to the home.

"Guys we're back."

Jin's head popped out from the kitchen.
A small smile forming on his lips.

"Boys, glad you're back. Come to the kitchen Jimin, you have to eat something."

The rest of the house was suspiciously quiet.
Everyone must be in their rooms.
Jimin walked to the kitchen, sitting at the dining table.
Jin placed a small bowl of some type of soup in front of him.
Hoseok stood behind Jin.

"Where's e-everyone else?"

Jimin asked, looking at his food.

"I made them eat earlier so you wouldn't have to pressure of everyone watching you eat."

Jimin thanked him.
He didn't really like people watching him eat.

"Hoseok your food is in the fridge, you can heat it up and eat."

Jin didn't take his eyes off Jimin.
He still wasn't eating his food, just staring at it.
Hoseok grabbed whatever leftover food there was and heated it up, watching Jimin as well.

"I. . .I don't feel very hungry right now."

Jin frowned at Jimin's words and sat in the seat next to him.

"You have to eat Jimin, we don't want you to end up in the hospital again. It doesn't have to be much. Just a little."

He placed his hand on Jimin's back.
Jimin took a deep breath and picked up the spoon with his shaky hand.
His slowly gulped a spoonful of soup.
Hating it as it went down his throat.
Jin smiled at him.

"There you go."

Jin rubbed comfortable circles on his back.
Hoseok watched them as he ate his food.

'We're getting there, its baby steps, but we're still getting there.'
