I promised Hobi I would try
but I still can't leave and go to your apartment


Jin stared at his laptop screen with a smile. That was progress, just her being ready to try made all the difference. Without further ado, Jin grabbed his notepad, a pen, and the recorder and left his apartment. He descended the flight of stairs and stopped in front of his patient-neighbor's door.

It had been Hoseok connecting the psychology student and the 'problematic' neighbor, which both were very grateful for. At the beginning the sessions were solely through chat texting; when Soora felt more comfortable and trusting of her therapist, they started to do the sessions through video call; but this was the first time they were going to come face to face, in the same surroundings.


APT 302

Seokjin noticed the slight crack on the door frame and cautiously entered the apartment, closing the door behind him. His eyes studied the place, which wasn't very different from his own apartment. Guiding himself to the living room, he walked directly to one of the couches, more specifically an armchair. 

Before he sat down, he saw Soora peaking from the hall through the corner of his eye, but he didn't acknowledge her right away. Instead, he decided to giver her some time to get used to his presence. 

Meanwhile, he prepared his stuff for the session, laying the recorder on the coffee table, opening his notepad and clicking on the pen before starting to scribble some words on the blank page.


"You're way taller than I expected" she commented in a low tone that echoed through the silent house.


"I'm going to take that as a compliment" He said with a smirk, without raising his head or his eyes to her yet. 

He felt Soora approach slowly as he kept acting like she had been there for a long time.


"Don't. Half of you is your neck, Doctor Giraffe."


Jin wasn't able to refrain a loud wind-wiper laugh at her remark. She had a good sense of humor, despite everything, and her being able to make a joke was a sign of her easiness, which made him happy.


"Do you know why giraffes don't take drugs?" He asked suddenly, making her frown in her corner, still at the entrance of the living room. "Because they are naturally high" Jin laughed loud at his one silly joke, filling the place with the echo of his laughter, but he was still able to hear her soft refrained snore in response.


"You are awful at jokes, please don't make them anymore" she begged, slipping inside the room and heading to the couch, choosing to sit at the furthest space away from Jin's armchair.
