sooyun
you're just another person i have to prove wrong

yoongi
ouch

yoongi
don't see me as a doctor or psychologist because those people went to uni for over five years to learn how to do this professionally.

yoongi
think of me as a thoughtful and helpful friend

yoongi
plus i don't get paid..

sooyun
aish your sentences are so long

sooyun
reading them is using up precious time

sooyun
can i just call you?

yoongi immediately clicks her contact and presses the call button.

she picks up after a few rings.

"wow, eager much?" sooyun asks, crossing her legs on her swivel chair.

"nah," he shakes his head, "just excited."

"yoongi those are synonyms," she deadpans.

"yes but they can be used in different contexts."

"so dr. min," sooyun says, "what treatment do you have planned for tomorrow?"

"well," he starts, "what place brings back nostalgia for you?"

sooyun thinks for a while, turning her her chair in circles. "the park by that one run down mini mall."

"the one in southern daegu?" he asks.

"yep. that's the one. right by the outdated theater."

"yeah, yeah. but why that?"

"you'll see," she says. "say, yoongi."

"mmhmm."

"what's your story?"

"well i'm pretty sure you heard in therapy but i'm diagnosed with depression, OCD, social anxiety-"

"no," she interrupts. "that's your diagnosis, not your story. i've already told you so much about myself. i think you should enlighten me. share your backstory as well."

yoongi chuckles and shakes his head. "where should i start?" he asks.

"at the very beginning," sooyun answers.

"well, i've lived in daegu all my life," he begins. "lived happily with my parents. ran away at 17 so i could live my own life. moved in with a few friends."

"your life sounds great," sooyun remarks. "why are you diagnosed then?"

"i'm only getting started," he says. "mom went first, accident. dad followed shortly after, suicide."

"oh."

"but wait, there's more where that came from. i had a girlfriend named jaeun. we got in a fight one night and she stormed out and into the road. i think you can picture what happened next."

"yoongi, i don't know what to say.." sooyun starts.

"you don't need to say anything," yoongi tells her.

an awkward silence follows.

he finally interrupts the quiet. "you know what, sooyun?"

"what is it, yoongi?"

"you remind me of jaeun."
