SESSION NINETY-NINE
CLIENT : KIM SEOKJIN
NOW RECORDING ... 00:00:01DR. JUNG : good morning, seokjin. how are you on this fine day?
SEOKJIN : um... i want to say i'm good and all, but... it's not the case.
DR. JUNG : oh, feel free to talk to me about whatever you'd like! that's what i'm here to do. [ gives SEOKJIN a soft smile ]
SEOKJIN : so... you know how i'm having troubles with my memory? especially around the time when my friend disappeared?
DR. JUNG : um... yeah! i believe it was the primary focus of our sessions.
SEOKJIN : i don't know about you, but i really want to recover all of those memories. all of it.
DR. JUNG : well, i want to help you get there. i'm glad you're finally taking initiative. so, let's hear it. have you recovered any so far?
SEOKJIN : um... i kind of have... questions that i feel like i need to ask. like, it feels as if my sub-consciousness is pushing me to do so. it's like a gut feeling, you know?
DR. JUNG : i understand. is there anything i can answer for you?
SEOKJIN : what's your first name?
DR. JUNG : it's hoseok.
SEOKJIN : [ murmurs ] hoseok... hoseok... it's sounds so familiar. [ clenches head in his hands, as he was in sudden pain ] god, it—it hurts. have we... met before? before our therapy sessions?
HOSEOK : uh... i don't believe we have, actually. not in person, anyway...
SEOKJIN : w-what do you mean?
HOSEOK : um... listen. these recordings are confidential in my records and i hope you'll keep this between the two of us.
SEOKJIN : yeah. i will. what is it? is it vital to helping me find my memories?
HOSEOK : it—it may.
SEOKJIN : what is it? tell me. please. it's so important to me.
HOSEOK : [ hesitates ] this... friend of yours, i... knew him.
SEOKJIN : [ suddenly stands up, his expression a mixture of confusion, betrayal, and anger ] you knew yoongi?
HOSEOK : y-yes, we weren't very close, but—
SEOKJIN : [ scoffs ] you decide to tell me this now? on our, what, ninety-ninth session? ninety nine fucking weeks, dr. jung. [ rubs the sides of his head with both his hands ]
HOSEOK : hey—
SEOKJIN : [ he lifts head up from his hands, his hands falling to his side powerlessly; the focus in his eyes is lost as he stares at HOSEOK ] where were you when he was killed?
HOSEOK : w-what? what did you say?
SEOKJIN : [ snaps out of his stance ] holy shit. what did i just say? i—i blacked out. or something. [ stumbles ] god—i'm so dizzy.
HOSEOK : you said—you, you said—you don't remember what you said? [ pauses, before clearing his throat and regaining his composure ] ah. i'm sorry. i don't mean to freak you out like that. don't... don't worry about it.
SEOKJIN : but—but i need to know what i said. i blanked out.
HOSEOK : [ hesitates ] you said something about why i wasn't there when he was killed.
SEOKJIN : [ frowns ] he? who's 'he'? yoongi?
HOSEOK : i—i don't know. you didn't specify.
SEOKJIN : [ lips part, eyes trailing downwards ] i don't know what's happening anymore. all i wanted to was to recover my memories...
HOSEOK : hey... [ takes a deep breath, speaking firmly ] maybe it's because you saw something? i believe you're repressing this memory. maybe you saw something that you didn't want to see? i'm not sure, but i think it's the best speculation i can make, given the circumstances.
SEOKJIN : what i saw? i don't remember... i don't remember anything.
HOSEOK : hey, don't push yourself. let's... let's talk about something else. it'll help calm you down. if you have any questions, just give me a call, okay? i'm available anytime. if i'm busy, i'll let you know.
SEOKJIN : [ smiles ] thanks, dr. jung. anyways, uh, i met this guy earlier this week. an old friend of yoongi's...

HOSEOK : this is dr. jung on the ninety-ninth session for kim seokjin. um, thank you for your time, seokjin. i'll see you next week... i believe?
