Chapter 4. Silver Moonlight

Zhan stood in front of the door of Dr. Lu's office, hesitant to knock on it. He was really trying to get a grip on how he really felt now. His shift at the Counseling Center finished an hour ago and he had been standing there for almost 45 minutes, full of doubts.

His brain was clearly saying that he basically had fucked up his intervention with his morning patient... Yi Bo. There was something about that man, about his name that intrigued him.

But, strangely enough he felt...good, light. He could almost say that he felt happy.

All that mixture of feelings had him really disoriented. He tried to center himself, took a deep breath and finally knocked that door.

"Come in," Dr. Lu said in a distracted tone.

"Good afternoon Dr. Lu," Zhan said timidly.

"Hi Zhan, how are you? Is something the matter?" Dr. Lu sounded concerned due to Zhan's facial expression. He seemed...lost.

"I need to talk to you about my job at the Counseling Center."

"Please, go on,"Dr. Lu encouraged him.

"I... I took a call this morning. It was one of Seoungjoo's regulars, Wang Yi Bo."

"And?"

"I... I froze. I swear I had studied his file carefully. He has two concurring conditions, so I took extra care," Zhan said looking truly mortified.

"What happened to him?"

"It seems that someone touched him," Zhan answered.

"Crap!" Dr. Lu said unapologetically.

"He was in the middle of a panic attack," Zhan went on nervously. He had a rubber band in his wrist and kept playing with it.

"Were you able to help him?" Dr. Lu questioned, looking at Zhan through his glasses.

"That is...exactly the problem," Zhan answered, unable to look at Dr. Lu directly.

"What do you mean?" Dr. Lu asked for clarification while adjusting his glasses on his nose bridge.

"My mind went blank, then I tried to use the standard procedure on him..." Zhan explained embarrassed.

"That'll never work on Wang Yi Bo," Dr. Lu interrupted him in a calming tone.

"I know that now, "Zhan said apologetically.

"What happened next?" Dr. Lu inquired encouraging.

"I was getting desperate because he sounded like he was really in trouble," Zhan answered, scared by the memory.

"Go on,"Dr. Lu encouraged him patiently.

"I hummed a tune to him," Zhan murmured.

"Come again?" Dr. Lu asked dumbfounded.
