a glass of water was pushed slightly towards jimin, the water dancing from the movement causing a reflection to paint the table which jimin admired, ignoring the man in front of him.

"drink," the man in a white, long coat suggested firmly, almost a demand if he didn't lace it with a tone full of faux politeness.

jimin remained silent, refusing to touch the glass in fear the water was poisonous. he met eyes with his therapist, shivering at the resemblance between him and the man in his dream, jeongguk.

"so. . . tell me what happened last night."

". . . i already told you, i was unconscious and when i woke up, my home was wrecked and my parents were already dead." jimin spat, glaring at mister jeon.

"and what about your dream? you were screaming for me the paramedics informed me. . ."

jimin scoffed, crossing his arms.

"i was not calling for you, i was calling for a man named jeon jeongguk, yes, but not you," jimin explained, looking at the therapist in disgust.

jeongguk cleared his throat, scribbling on his clipboard. the silence becoming overwhelming for jimin especially after what he said.

"anything else i should be aware of?"

jimin nodded meekly, fiddling with his tiny thumbs.

"okay," jeongguk rose from the chair, collecting his belongings along with the glass of water jimin took the smallest sip from, proceeding to add, "this was a nice chat, i will hope to see you later this evening when all the patients have a group talk."

jimin rolled his eyes at the thought, already deciding he wasn't going to show up.

"after scanning the dna from the cotton swab of the glass, it definitely doesn't match up with the additional dna we found at the scene," the forensic scientist stated as jeongguk went through the material.

"this man is innocent," she proceeded to say, pushing for a reaction.

he shuffled the files together in a neat file, playing them back in the filing case, casually stating, "i know."

the scientist threw her hands in the air, aghasted. she rushed over to him, snatching the drawer before being closed to go through the file again.

"then why the hell are you keeping him in this facility, this is therapy home for criminals, not the innocent," she scolded, while flipping to the notes of the interview written today.

it was snatched out of her hands before she could, she glanced up at taehyung with an annoyed look which he matched with a eerily blank expression.

he playfully tap her on the head with the clipboard of the notes proceeding to put it away, ensuring the drawer locked itself.

jeongguk itched closer to the scientist, slightly leaning down to mock the height difference as a form of dominance that made her teeth grit as she stared back at him. the man smirked devilishly at her, acknowledging her annoyance.

"we all have our personal motives. you remember that one time where that patient mysteriously vanished in thin air over night, irene? i minded my business, this is where you mind yours. . ."

irene scoffed, knowing there was no way for her to talk back after that threat, she was pushed in a corner.

she shook her head, storming off silently as jeongguk chuckled slightly, leaning against the desk.

he gazed up at the ceiling, lost in thought.

"park jimin. . ." he whispered without realizing.
