The therapist takes the cannula and puts it out of its sterile package. Jimin already trembles slightly in fear and as consequence of his hard self control to not simply run away...

The therapist sighs and whispers: "I'm so sorry for doing this to you, Jimin!"

While Jimin still presses his teeth together, he says quietly: "Just do it! Please!"

The therapist stings the cannula into Jimin's Knee, which is already marked with many scars. Jimin barely reacts to the sting, because he is kind of used to it, but when the therapist adds the injection to vacuum the joint liquid, Jimin chlenches his fists in pain and lowers his head even more. He breathes out in a wheeze and he feels an urge to cry, but he pulls himself together and remains silently. The therapist lays his hand on top of Jimin's hand for a second of comfort and then he pulls out the cannula. Jimin is panting in relief.

He hears Jimin's breath going faster and havier again. Jimin's hands tremble. The therapist takes a short glance to Jimin's face and sees his tensed mimic. Jimin had sitten, but now he lays down on his back and covers his face with his arms. He whimpers softly, but continiously.
