As Eun-Ha left the set, the sudden tension got suffocating.

Everyone was just waiting for Doctor Kim to continue. None of them dared to say anything.

The director was right. This Run BTS! Episode was completely different than the ones they usually would record.

As the tension grew with every passing second, Jungkook started to bob his legs nervously. He internally hoped that Doctor Kim didn't explain what this gesture meant.

He for sure did but of course, you couldn't listen because all you ever do is daydream.

Finally, after what felt like centuries, Doctor Kim decided to speak up once again. But this time he turned to the camera, speaking to the audience.

„Now we will be going through some of the most common mental health disorders. If any of you can identify yourself with any of the following named signs, please seek professional help or speak to someone. Only a professional can diagnose and confirm what mental illness you are suffering from."

The older male turned back to BTS and stared deep into their eyes, one by one. „And if any of you notice anyone close to you showing these signs, don't assume they have a mental health issue but rather try to approach them and give them the support and assurance they need. Understood?"

Everyone immediately nodded, not wanting to delay the next topic any further. It may seem like this Run Episode would be a lot more casual and boring, but the members truly did show a lot of interest in this topic. All of them were paying close attention to what Doctor Kim had to say.

Everyone but one.

More than actually being interested, Jungkook feared this whole situation.

Not only did the voice return, but now he had to pay close attention so that he can avoid showing any of these signs in the near future.

One slip up and it could be over.

You will fail anyway.

I won't.

You don't even know whether you are sick or not.

I don't want to know.

Why are you paying close attention then? Why worry so much if you aren't sick?

Enough.

He had enough. The young adult was confused beyond belief but what could he do? He couldn't simply shut down his own mind, could he?

„I will be telling you guys about the three of the most common mental health disorders for now. But keep mind: we are only going to go through the basics to understand and recognize signs of those disorders. There is a lot more to those disorders than one might think."

That was already obvious. They were already twenty minutes in and only had about half an hour left before they had to wrap up the recording. But well, better say it just to be sure, not that someone would really think that mental illnesses could be explained this fast and easy.

No, that wouldn't be possible.

The human mind is more complex than anything in this world. As Karl Marx once said, »Do not make a portrait of a person in your mind because nothing can cover the human itself, nothing can grasp the human's feelings, mind, and instincts.« It's probably quoted wrongly but he said something in that direction.
