"I officially turn 23 today and instead being out with my friends and fake boyfriend. I'm having a session with you" Minho sighs with boredom. It had been a week since Minho first came to see Chan, but it had been two weeks since he last saw Hyunjin or talked to him.
"You're lucky I was even able to find time to squeeze you in, unlike last time when you came after hours." Chan tells Minho.
"So what, are you going to charge me for once?" Minho asks.
"No, because your lucky you have a therapist that's also your friend" Chan tells him.
"Listen, last week you confessed to liking someone for the first time in 3 years since Jisung death." Chan tells Minho, the younger nodding in response.
"And you told the story of his death without crying except after I started grilling you. But this is a big accomplishment for you Minho" Chan tells him with a proud smile.
"So what if I didn't cry over my dead lover for the first time in three years. And so what if I have a crush on my fake boyfriend that I have been avoiding speaking to for the past two weeks. What's your point?" Minho asks him.
"My point is.... you're finally ready to be in a relationship again" Chan answers the younger, watching his expression turn shock with guilt.
"Hey, this is a good thing. It's time to let go of that traumatic part of your life and finally open up yourself again to dating." Chan comes over to Minho to crouch in front of him and take his hands.
"I like Hyunjin, Hyung, but I don't think I'll ever be able to let go of that traumatic event." Minho tells him.
"Okay, listen I'd be lying if I told you you'd forget about that part of your life. You'll probably always remember it, but it shouldn't be the thing that controls your love life for the rest of your life. After that near death experience, you should be living your life to the fullest not hiding from it." Chan explains to the younger.
The timer for there session goes off as Minho immediately gets up from his seat and away from Chan.
"Thank you for your time Hyung, I really appreciated this one" Minho tells him.
"Happy Birthday again" Chan tells him. Minho nods his head in response before leaving his office with a lot to think about.

Minho unlocks the door to his apartment, budging the door open to see two of his cats napping and Dori being the youngest running around the living room smacking a toy rat around. Minho closes the door behind him and takes off his shoes to put on his slippers before going any further into the house. He hears a sudden clash that didn't come from his cat, he slowly walks over the kitchen to see Hyunjin closing his oven.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Minho asks him. Hyunjin turns around to look at Minho for a brief moment, to walk up to him and embrace the older. Minho had never felt more confused but he couldn't help but hug back from how warm he made him feel.
"Hyung, you've been ignoring my calls and texts for two weeks since the shoot and I think I have the right to know why" Hyunjin tells the older while continuing to hold him. Minho chokes out a deep sigh into Hyunjin chest as he didn't know whether to tell the truth about his feelings for him or to lie.
'I've been posting on our instagram still with old photos we took from the last time we were together, so you don't have to worry about that." Hyunjin tells him. Minho hands clutch onto Hyunjin waist as his felt himself breaking down from the voices in his head telling him what to do.
"Hyung?" Hyunjin calls out to Minho, after not getting response from him since he saw him.
"I'm sorry for ignoring you" Minho says, taking in deep breath as he let's go of Hyunjin and pulls away from there hug to wipe away his tears before he could see them.
"It's just, I've been going through alot mentally and emotionally. I just really needed my space to figure stuff out" Minho tells the younger, just grazing the surface of the truth.
"You look tired, you must have woken up early for where ever it is you went to" Hyunjin notices the redness in Minho eyes.
"Yeah, I saw my therapist this morning. It was an early appointment to be able to squeeze me in with such a late call" Minho explains.
"Listen, why don't you go take a nap while I finish cooking you a nice birthday lunch. I have a fun filled day for your birthday that's us hanging out together with Felix, Seungmin, and Jeongin. Then tonight will go on a date for pictures for the media and just have fun. What do you say?" Hyunjin tells/asks the older.
"Sounds awesome, wake me up in a bit then" Minho casually agrees as he got out of the kitchen and into his room to close the door behind him. His slides his back down the door till he hit the floor and hugged his knees to his chest as tears started streaming down his cheeks.
"Why are you so weak?" He asks himself, knocking the back of his head against the door with a frustrated sigh.

A/N: At this point of the story, Minho is really fighting with his past and present, on what's the right thing to do or say. Next chapter will be more of a fun one, as he'll push aside the voices for his special day.
