CHAPTER 5 - Comfort

"Hello?"

"Hey, we got a lead on your girlfriend."

※※※

He didn't even paid attention to how lame his friend jokes but then listened to what the guy has to say.

"What?"

"Somebody reported hours ago, in other words, afternoon yesterday, that a girl was being kidnapped by three men with masks on. They drove a black tinted van. That's the only information I just got now."

Sehun's fists balled without him noticing. He quickly grabbed his clothes, dress up and ran outside, but then, stopped. That'd be stupid, he thought. He don't even know where on earth to find her.

"Okay. Update me everytime if there's a new lead."

"What?! What am I? Your personal detective?" Kai protested on the other line.

"I'll pay you, jerk. Stop complaining." He said and hung up.

He sat there and sighed for a moment then stood up from his bed. He tidied himself again and went for a quick breakfast then headed towards the car park. Today's his schedule to visit his now personal psychiatrist.

The drive to the small clinic didn't took long and he was able to arrive minutes before his usual schedule.

※※※

It was also months ago when he was referred to Dr. Kim Minseok due to some issues with his previous Psychiatrist. Unlike the previous one, he seemed fine with all the procedures Dr. Kim asked him to do, the meds he needed to take and so on. And soon if all things went well, he'd stop the medication.

He went inside, seeing a short man scanning the pages of his clients' pile of daily reports, not noticing the approaching Sehun who fake coughed.

"Oh, Hi Mr. Oh. I'm sorry I didn't see you there, I was busy reading these papers. Come sit down." Dr. Kim said, leading a hand on the seat in front of his desk. He sat obediently, running his eyes onto the physician's small clinic.

"How are you?" Dr. Kim asked. To be very honest, whenever the doctor would ask him that question, he don't exactly know how to respond.

"Fine...I guess. From the last time I went here until this time, nothing serious has happened." He said. Dr. Kim was just smiling and nodding, the small gesture that all doctors do.

"That's good to hear. How about your panic attacks?"

Sehun tries to appear cool but the doctor didn't mind. It is natural for clients to act tough at times, especially for men. Guys have the tendency to be defensive with their man-pride, which Minseok find amusing with Sehun's consistency. He may appear strong, but inside, he's one of those people who needs help.

"Occasional." Sehun told him.

"Rate it from 1 to 10." Dr. Kim asked him.

It took him a moment to rate it, simply saying, "5."

Dr. Kim smiled at him pleasingly, writing something down on a sheet of prescription paper.

"We'll reduce your pills." The doctor kindly said, looking at Sehun, smiling at him again and went back on writing. "It's good hear your improvement. Who knows with the given time, you'll be able to recover fast. Next schedule, we'll be having some tests to determine if we'll be stopping the use of medical drugs and proceed to therapies. Hopefully."

Sehun just nodded.

"Aigoo~ You've been a good boy." Dr. Kim teasingly petting his head. Sehun thrashed Minseok's hand.
