Jaehyun's P.O.V

It had been a week and I still hadn't gotten through to Doyoung. He always put on a different act each day. It was quite different, I now had a few more patients named Renjun, Chittaphon, and Johnny. Renjun has Bipolar and anger issues, Chittaphon has paranoid schizophrenia, and Johnny has really bad depression. I sighed, now on my break and I stretched getting out of my chair and walked out of my office and locked the door behind me. I walked down the hallway and out to the lounge to visit some of the patients, I've gotten close to a boy named Yuta, he's quite nice and funny. He loves another patient here named Sicheng. I walked up to the Japanese boy and smiled.
"Hello Yuta" I said and he turned to me.
"Ready for me to beat you at Uno?" He asked with a smirk and I nodded with a laugh, we walked to an empty table and started playing. We had two people join us, Yuta's friend here named Donghyuck, and Lucas joined because he was bored. He ranted about the fact Jungwoo wasn't at work today to play games with him. After a few rounds I've only won two, Yuta five, Lucas one, and Donghyuck three. I laughed seeing Lucas bicker about how the game is rigged. I checked my watch.
"You'll have to excuse me, I have an appointment soon" I smiled. They waved goodbye and I walked down the hall and made it back to my office unlocking the door, I shut it and fixed the plant on the window. I also fixed the blanket laying on top of the couch, I had recently bought an anxiety blanket. It helped my patients relax and feel comfortable. I waited patiently and there was a knock on the door and the nurse escorted Doyoung in and he sat down. She excused herself and I sat in the same spot I sit in and he sat in his.
"How are you today Doyoung?" I asked with a smile. He crisscrossed on the couch and shrugged.
"Fine I guess" he said.
"You guess?" I asked and looked at the boy.
"How are you today Doctor?" He asked.
"I am well, thank you for asking" I said, "I heard your family is coming to visit you, how do you feel about that?" I studied the male and I saw his eyes narrow.
"To hell with them" he said and I wrote something down on my notepad.
"So I assume you don't want to see them?" I asked and he looked at me.
"No, they're liars. I hate liars" he snapped and I nodded.
"Are you nervous?"
"No."
"Angry?"
"Yes," he said.
"Why are you angry Doyoung?" I asked. He let out a dark chuckle.
"They don't really care about me, they make it seem like they do."
"How do you know they don't care about you?" I eased into the topic. Maybe this time I'll get something. He grabbed the blanket behind him and wrapped himself up.
"Doctor, do you want to play a game?" He asked and looked at his hands that were settled in his lap.
"What game?" I asked. This can't be good.
"21 questions." He said and I nodded.
"Alright, I'll play" he smirked at my answer.
"One, have you ever been lied to by your family?" He asked. I made sure to note that, he must have a thing about liars because of his family.
"I have. Two, have you ever lied Doyoung?" I asked. He scrunched his nose.
"Hasn't everyone?" He asked. I nodded.
"Three, why did you take this job?" He wrapped himself deeper in the blankets. I had to think about this.
"I chose this profession because I love to help people and I like to understand others" I said and looked at the boy.
"Four, what do you plan to do in the future?" I asked and he shrugged.
"I don't know. Nor do I care." He stated, I decided not to push further
"Five, have you ever been in a relationship?"
"I have."
"With who?"
"That's two questions, it's my turn. Six, have you ever been in a relationship Doyoung?"
"I don't have time for relationships" he shrugged. I nodded.
"Seven, do you like guys or girls?" I raised my brow at the question.
"My sexuality has nothing to do with this" I said and felt my ears go red.
"Doctor" he said and I looked to see him glaring at me "That's not how you play the game." I gulped and nodded. I have to be honest, I have to build trust.
"Guys." I said simply. He nodded.
"Eight, are you close with any of the patients?" I asked.
"A few and of course Nurse Jungwoo" he said.
"Nine, have you ever dated a guy?"
"I have, ten, who are you close to?"
"Jeno and Jungwoo" he shrugged and then added "they don't lie." He said and looked away and played with the hem of his shirt. "Eleven, are you a virgin?" He smirked seeing my surprised face.
"I don't think that is an appropriate question" I bit my lip.
"So you are?" He smirked seeing I'm not denying it. I sighed. I was about to ask another question but he stopped me.
"Doctor, I'm bored" he said with a frown. 
"Alright, what do you want to talk about?"
"Can you do something for me?" He asked and I nodded. "Can you tell my parents to fuck off? They don't take the hint" he rested his head on the back of the couch. He must be ready to talk about his parents again. 
"I can't do that Doyoung, but I can be there with you when they come in, I need permission from you and Kun" I said and he nodded.
"Alright, you can join" he said and I smiled. "How is your family?" He asked. Be honest; build trust.
"I don't know" I said and he raised a brow.
"Why?"
"We don't talk much" I said and saw the boy looking at me.
"Do you not have a good relationship with them?" I nodded "why?"
"I hope you can respect my choice not to answer that question" I said and he huffed.
"Fine." He answered and it got silent for a few seconds. "Doctor, I haven't been able to sleep, can I take a nap?" He asked and I raised a brow and I checked my watch to see we had 30 minutes left and sighed. I'll let him sleep, he has trouble sleeping. I'll have to request he gets sleeping pills.
"Alright, you may sleep. I'll be working, alright?" I said and he nodded and instantly laid down on the couch with his back facing me. I got up and sat in my desk chair and opened my computer and opened the file I labeled 'Kim Dongyoung' and opened it. I was typing some notes and soon heard soft snores and looked up to see Doyoung had switched sides so he was facing me. He looked pretty cute sleeping. I had to toss that thought out of my head. He is your patient, don't forget you are in a mental hospital. I went back to work. I've noticed Doyoung changes topics a lot, he switches your focus on other things. It's almost like he is creating a maze that you can't get through. I should probably write a prescription for sleeping medication for him. I grabbed a piece of paper from my drawer and quickly scribbled down the prescription for a sleeping medication and folded it up and put it in my pocket. I rubbed my eyes and ruffled my hair and closed my documents on my computer and checked my schedule, Doyoung's parents are going to be here tomorrow to visit him, I should call Kun after the appointment is done and ask for permission and for him to confirm that Doyoung gave me permission also. I bit my lip as I went closed the schedule tab on my computer and shut the device. Right when I did the alarm went off and I instantly shut it off and got up and walked over to Doyoung, I was about to shake him awake but decided to play it safe and not touch him.
