I stared at my lap as she sat down across from me.
Her hands were crossed, fingers laying gently against her knuckles.
"Jungkook, will you allow yourself to tell me what's been going on with you?"
She asks quietly.

I bite my lip, my hands gripping the couch under me. I release it with a sigh.
"I'm not telling you all of it because it's still my business,"
She nods her head quickly in understanding.

"So as you know I went to the hospital recently. I got stabbed and lost my vision for a few days. What led up to that accident was my abnormal behavior."
I took a breath.

I got stabbed because of my actions."
She looks at me confused.
"I wasn't supposed to be out at night but I was because of my behavior. I have a past that I'm not sharing, and it caused trauma for me at a young age."

I look away from her.

"Because of that, mentally I haven't been the best. I have lots of mental issues that I won't share. I close off my emotions, and when I don't I sometimes go crazy. My doctor suggested I go see a psychiatrist, but I don't want to."

Suddenly she's next to me, her arms around my waist. Her head's in my shoulder, her long hair falling against it.

"I don't want to pressure you. You've been through a lot recently, especially with your mental issues. As a friend, I want you to get better. If you think seeing a psychiatrist isn't going to make you better, I want to find another way. I want to help you as best I can."

I wrap my arms around her.
I don't know why I felt the need to push her away.
My grip around her tightened.
Taehyung....

I miss him...
I let go, and so does she.
"You're taking a year off right?"
I nod.
"I won't bother you. You'll come find me when you need me am I right?"

I give her a light smile.
"Yeah."
"Good. Just know I'll always be here."
I stand up, and for once, letting my smile widen, not the forced or small smiles, my real smile.

Her eyes widened, but she looked happy.
She hugged me one more time, before she let go.
"I think you should talk to Mr. Kim. I saw him on our way here."

"I know." I say, and I make my way to the door.
She opens it for me and I step out.
"See you later?"
She asks, a smile on her face.
"Yeah."

I walk down the steps and onto the sidewalk, the campus right in front of me.
My eyes wander, wondering if Taehyung was still here.

"Looking for me?"
