Sunday 1 a.m (April 13th, 2014)

"I am not going in!" A voice was heard from outside the door.

"Who's out there?"

The door opened revealing a boy and his mom. 

"Is this place for counseling?" His mom asked.

"Yes"

"Go in!" His mom exclaimed.

"I don't need counseling!" He exclaimed.

"To me, it seems like you are going crazy," His mom pushed him in and closed the door.

She blinked her eyes in confusion and shock. She did not expect for her next customer to come in like this.

"Hello"

"I am not going to say anything," He rolled his eyes.

"What's your name?"

He ignored her and closed his eyes. 

"I know that you want someone to talk to"

He quickly opened his eyes in shock but acted normal. 

"I won't tell your parents anything about what you told me"

He went into deep thoughts and wondered if he should actually tell her about his problem. In the same time, he didn't trust her. Most people worked for his mother so they would always tell his mother everything.

"You could trust me"

Without knowing why he trusted her.

"What is your name?"

"My name is Jummyeon... Just call me Suho," He replied.

"That's a pretty name"

He smiled. No one ever told him that his name was pretty.

"Why did you come here at 1 am?"

"Sorry for coming at an inappropriate time," Suho apologized.

"No, it's fine with me"

She gave him a reassuring smile making sure he didn't feel guilty. The point of this place was to make the client feel comfortable and to feel needed.

"I am tired of faking everything..." He started.

Her eyebrows raised wondering what could be his story. 

"Do I have to live like this?" Suho whispered to himself but still audible enough for her to hear.

Suho made himself comfortable on the chair and closed his eyes again. 

"Are you going to continue on?"

"Just forget everything I told you," He said.

He was afraid that she was going to tell his parents. If his mother heard about this, she would have locked him up somewhere. 

"Are you sure about that?"

He nodded. He was feeling really sleepy due to so much studying.

"Can I just have some sleep?" He asked. 

"Of course"

It was silent for 5 minutes, and he still couldn't sleep. 

"You know... I think you should confront your mother yourself"

She broke the silence. She knew that he was not asleep because he kept moving around.

"I can't... They will kill me for sure," He said.

"Not all parents are that mean"

"Well, my parents are," He said.

"You should be thankful you have parents"

His eyes opened up and this time he couldn't hide his shocked face. Normally, he was really good at masking himself.

"No need to be shocked"

"Oh..." He looked away.

"But one thing for sure is that your parents love you"

His smile looked so empty...

*Knock Knock*

"Yes?"

"Are you done?" Someone asked from outside.

"That's my mom," Suho sighed.

"Yes... Maybe you can come in"

The door opened and his mother came in.

"I think my son has problems," His mother stated.

Suho rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"Is that what you could say to your son!" Suho exclaimed.

He stood up and walked up the door, but stopped.

"I am never coming back," He said.

"See, he was never like that," His mother said.

"I think he's perfectly fine... I think you should talk to him calmly and try to solve the problems you two are having..."
