"I've just been worried about you, Jimin,"

"I know, Mom,"

"These are old self-destructive behaviors, old patterns. You know how to recognize them,"

"I know,"

"You say you know, but you won't do anything to change them? I don't understand how you can live like this,"

"I guess...I guess it's easy to recognize all the things I'm doing wrong, but it's harder to do something about it,"

"Are you trying?"

"I am,"

"Jimin?"

"I swear!"

"Please, don't lie to me,"

"I'm not lying, Mom,"

"Explain to me how you are trying,"

"I...I'm eating,"

"You are eating nothing but cold noodles,"

"I...I..."

"You haven't been to work in a week. You haven't showered. You aren't eating healthy. You haven't been outside. Your dorm is a mess..."

"I won't lose my job,"

"Oh yes, your job in the mail room. You worked so hard to get a good position in a company related to your art, even if it is just selling and customer service. That position was supposed to be a stepping stone for you. And this is what you are settling for? Jimin, you might as well go back to the grocery store. At least you liked working there,"
