And then... the therapist takes away his hands from Jimin's knee and everything seems to slow down. In the background sounds the song "Euphoria" and next to them, Jimin's labored breathing gets slowier. He seems absolutely and totally exhausted. The therapist says softly: "I'm proud of you, Jimin! You endured a lot this night!"

Jungkook follows with a "I'm proud of you, too! I can't even imagine how hard this must be for you. To be in so much pain every single day. I wouldn't be able to handle that, but you do!"

Jimin whispers an exhausted "Thank you!" before he falls limp. Jungkook stands up and carefully raises Jimin. He says to the therapist: "I thank you!"

The therapist says: "I have to thank you! It's not easy for me to hurt a person like Jimin, you know!?"

Jungkook answers: "I know! He is the last person, who would deserves those pain!"

The therapist nods and Jimin already seems to sleep.

Jungkook lowers his voice and asks: "How often do you two doing this?"

The therapist barely dares to answer this question honestly, but he mumbles: "Every evening, at least..." Jungkook wasn't surprised, but he feels sad for Jimin.

Jungkook asks: "Can I come every evening, too, to hold his hand?"

The therapist is releaved by this reaction and says: "It would help him a lot." Jungkook heads to leave the room with Jimin in his arms: "Okay, so... see you tomorrow!" He makes a small bow although he carries Jimin, then he goes to Jimin's bedroom and lays Jimin on his bed.

He sits down on the bedside, brushes Jimin's sweaty bangs from his forehead and gives him a kiss on his head.
