taehyung stayed pressed against the lockers in front of jimin's class as the bell rang over his head, grimacing by the loudness of it. he waited for the students to spill out of the classroom, grabbing onto the straps of his bag as he pushed himself from the wall, entering the mostly empty classroom, clenching his jaw as he spotted his friend putting his books into his bag.

"hey." he approached him, keeping his eyes to the ground and running a hand through his hair, "i'm sorry for yelling at you the other day." he frowned and mumbled out the words, feeling childish for exploding on his friend, "i.. didn't mean it. i was having a bad day and i took it out on you, i shouldn't have."

jimin stood from his desk and pulled his bag on, raising his head to taehyung with a mischievous smirk, poking at his puffed-out cheeks. he giggled when the brunet raised his head higher so jimin couldn't reach, groaned and gently slapping his small hands away when he continued to try and jab him. "it's okay, i forgive you!" he gave his now irritated friend a hug, quickly getting brushed off, "so, how's your new therapist?"

"he's.. a little weird." they walked out of the class, taehyung rethinking of their session a few days prior, "i mean, he's helping a bit but sometimes he can be really strange."

"strange?" jimin frowned at his friend, "how?"

"i don't know." taehyung played with his fingers, showing signs of nervousness as the memories rushed back, "at our last meeting, he kept.. touching my body."

"isn't that what therapists are supposed to do?" jimin whispered, eyes wide as he stared up at his friend, "i'm sure it's nothing, taehyung, you're probably overthinking things."

the brunet sighed and nodded, forcing a smile onto his face and the memories to the back to his head.
