I watched as a single orange-colored leaf glided across the ground in front of me, being moved by the breeze that whipped around in the air. My favorite season of Autumn was just beginning but I couldn't enjoy it. I couldn't enjoy much of anything these days.

I looked around the nearly empty community park I was currently sitting in and sighed placing my hands on the bench under me. I guess for the most part, I've accepted everything so I'm alright. Still, the pain never fades as long as it's on my mind and trust; it's always on my mind.

I have another therapy session scheduled with Counselor Kim today but it'll be the same as it always is. It doesn't help me. I just find myself reliving moments and recalling memories I don't want to and I hate it. But I will go anyway to comfort my mother who hasn't left my side since she's gotten me back. The only reason I'm alone right now is because she's working and can't be here but if she could, she definitely would be.

I stood up on my two feet taking the deepest breath I could before beginning to walk towards the hospital building located just across the street. This is the regular hospital. I guess Counselor Kim has two work places so he has to see me here sometimes instead of the mental institution. I'm definitely not complaining though. I still loathe that place.

"So you still don't believe you need any more therapy?" Counselor Kim asked, eyeing me. "You went through a terrible ordeal that lasted months, ____."

Yes. It seems I've ended up right back in the same place I was a few months ago. The truth is, if I want people to believe I'm completely sane, I have to admit that Jimin never actually loved me. But I just can't do that, because he did. Just because it was different doesn't mean it wasn't true. And I won't drag his name in the dirt; not when he isn't here to defend himself anymore.

"No. And I understand why you think I do, it's just..."

"You loved him. And you can't say it, right?"

I looked up at him blankly and sighed, leaning back in my chair. I let my head fall back gently to stare at the ceiling.

Why'd you have to leave me like this? I miss you, Jimin.

"____...please. We-"

"I know. You just want to help me." I said for him, lifting my head once again to look at him in irritation.

He shifted uncomfortably and sighed. I always felt kind of bad for him. He looks like he genuinely cares about his frustrating job. But I'm in no shape to have empathy for anyone anymore.
