"What?"

Her brain refused to register the words her ears heard. It wasn't that she didn't understand what Taehyung told her, but it was that her mind couldn't grasp it, couldn't process it.

Couldn't come in terms with it.

Upon feeling her phone vibrating against her ears, Tzuyu realized Taehyung has long cut the call while Tzuyu was in a daze, her mind blank.

Quickly looking at her phone, she found a message from Taehyung along with his location.

"What happened, Tzu?" Tzuyu's husband, Mingyu, asked the girl who suddenly turned pale, and Mingyu knew she was panicking inside.

"Tzuyu?" Feeling Mingyu's hand on top of hers, her gaze stuck on the ring in his finger, matching the one in hers, a pleasant flashback of her wedding two years ago, running in the back of her mind, calming her nerves down a little.

"Breathe in and out slowly." Tzuyu followed Mingyu's instructions until she calmed down.

One of the many perks of marrying a psychologist.

"J-Jungkook." The pale girl gasped out, her hands in Mingyu's starting to shake, but before she had the chance to fall into the same darkness she once breathed in, Mingyu drew her back to light.

"Hey, it's okay." Cupping Tzuyu's cheeks, he whispered.

"What happened to him?" Mingyu softly questioned his wife, who swallowed.

"A-Accident." Mingyu lightly moved his hand up and down her back, bringing her back to her senses.

"Which hospital?" Without a word, Tzuyu handed Mingyu her phone, which was displaying the location Taehyung sent.

"It'll be okay." Tightly but gently squeezing her hand, Mingyu started the car, and it is then, Tzuyu realized that while she had a panic attack, Mingyu had pulled the car up just to calm her down once again.

All the worrisome thoughts of Jungkook gets pushed in the back of her brain as her gaze fell on Mingyu, whose eyes were fixed on the road while he drove with a concerned face.

After Tzuyu's breakup with Jungkook, Tzuyu never thought she would fall for someone else again in her whole life, but that took a turn when her doctor, who was treating her depression, turned out to be a handsome young man.

At first, it was just regular therapy sessions until Mingyu understood Tzuyu had no intention of getting out of depression as she had gotten way too comfortable with the feeling of emptiness and numbness.

She craved to disappear from this world. She felt her heart would be at rest if that happened.

Mingyu helped Tzuyu with her life consisting of her social distancing herself from everyone and isolating herself, followed by severe public anxiety attacks and violent sobbing inside a bathroom stall, all alone, then coming out as if nothing happened.

Mingyu took Tzuyu out for dinner, breakfast, lunch, the empty spots of her life, Mingyu filled them while trying to get her out of the cage in which she locked herself.

He met her family as her doctor, got along with them, helped her overcome her fears, and soon before anyone knew it, Tzuyu's day-to-day life got filled with Kim Mingyu, her psychologist.

And Mingyu couldn't help but fall in love with the girl behind her cold mask without him recognizing it.

When Mingyu asked Tzuyu out, she was perplexed, so Mingyu gave her a day to think before giving him an answer. And that day was Tzuyu's hell.
