He waited in the waiting room for his session that was going to be in thirty minutes.

It was Jeongin's third time here...the way the therapist was able to diagnose his situation in physical illness called Daddy issues he couldn't believe.

Yeah...as much as Jeongin hates it but he does have daddy issues and the therapist told him it is not something funny and he shouldn't ignore it but makes a lot of effort to be in a better relationship with his father or it will get worse and affect his daily life.

Jeongin hasn't made any efforts yet since his father is always busy and overworking himself...he would always go to his old neighborhood for a visit but standing in front of that house made him step back and run away unintentionally from there not wanting to meet up with his father and that a sign of him escaping a lot of situation he been in so far.

when it was about to hit 3pm he sat up from the chair and started walking towards the door which opened by itself—I mean someone else opened it from the inside and Jeongin couldn't believe who he was.

Jeongin:“Hyunjin-sunbei?”

he let out with a medium audible voice that Hyunjin was able to hear from a far distance, he looked up towards Jeongin.

the designer just ended his session with the therapist.

She told him to start focusing on the people around him and not be alone most of the time, she also convinced him to spend more time with the people he feels comfortable with and try a new hobby to make him forget about his stressful deadline or his mother's words.

Hyunjin:“Jeongin? What are you doing here?”

He exclaimed not believing he came across someone from his high school and also someone who used to be an idol before.

Jeongin:“those are my words...I'm here for the same reason as you”

He said, Jeongin never expected to meet with one of his favorite fashion Instagram influencers, Hyunjin is famous in the fashion industry and the blonde just happened to be one of his followers.

Hyunjin:“do you have your session now?”

He asked which Jeongin nodded and walked towards the door.

Jeongin:“it was nice to meet you sunbei, I need to go now”

He said and left Hyunjin at the door which he took to go to the other side where his session is held and where his therapist is waiting for him.

Hyunjin:“wait!”

Jeongin held the doorknob and was about to close the door but then he raised his head and looked towards Hyunjin with curious eyes wondering what the designer had to say to him.

Jeongin:“what is it? Hurry up I don't have much time”

Hyunjin saw Jeongin looking behind him and figured out that he also had problems he's dealing with since he takes therapy like him.

Hyunjin:“would I be able to see you again?”

Jeongin couldn't hold the urge to look at Hyunjin with a disgusted face but maybe the designer meant something else by saying that.

Jeongin:“i don't know...look senbei I need to go in right now”

He said about closing the door waiting for Hyunjin to give him the permission to do that.

Just ten seconds later Hyunjin apologized and turned around and left while Jeongin went the opposite way for his session.

Jeongin had dropped at Jisung's dorm after his therapy session and the blonde was welcomed with a warm aura from the outcast.

Jisung got a text that Jeongin is coming so he took a bath and made some hot cocoa because the weather is chilly and also kept his environment tidy so the blonde could feel comfortable and cozy while talking to him.

Jisung:“how is it going with the therapist? Did she ask you something awkward yet?”

He welcomed him at the door step where jeongin remove his shoes at the doorstep and let jisung guide him towards the dorm living room.

Jisung got a solo dorm without dormates since his family are rich and were able to afford a Bigger dorm for him.

Jeongin:“no...she's actually very nice and calm at giving advice and guiding me to the right decisions”

He said right after they were both situated together on the same couch.

Jisung:“so what did you figure out so far?”

after Jeongin goes to the therapy for 3 weeks now, Jisung can't but ask him about his thoughts of how he sees himself before therapy. and he knows that the younger is smart and quick to catch up with things.

Jeongin:“I ran away from problems a lot and ghosting you for 2 years might have been related to how my dad used to prefer you when you were my tutor”

He always felt bad at how he neglects jisung and just today he figured out his issues with him running away might be the reason.

Jisung:“so you were jealous that I got compliments from your dad back then?”

He asked with a sly tone which made Jeongin roll his eyes, it's new seeing Jisung with this attitude.

Jeongin:“he still is...when I mention you being my friend he gives a whole lecture on how I should follow your footsteps”

Jisung couldn't control his emotions and let out what was inside him.

Jisung:“how about we both give your house a visit next time”

He suggested which took Jeongin by surprise. The outcast just wanted to see Jeongin's room where he grew up.

Jeongin:“why? Eager to make me feel more miserable”

Jisung didn't mean that by going to his house which only led him to lose control of his emotions again.

Jisung:“my life is already miserable without you”

He was aware of what he said but he shouldn't be afraid of letting the things he's been feeling towards Jeongin since he came into his life from a simple crush to a whole high level of obsession.

Jeongin:“huh? Why the sudden disgusting cheesy line?”

He knows that the blonde doesn't feel the same as him or even close to what he's feeling right now...he can't be eager, he can't force his feelings on Jeongin.

Jisung:“it's not a cheesy line Jeongin, your presence saved my life in so many situations”

Jeongin made a disgusting face and slided away from jisung.

Jeongin:“WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! WHAT SITUATIONS?!”

This sudden confession from jisung made him have goosebumps .

Jisung:“you are my first friend Jeongin and having you by my side gives me confidence in stepping out of my bubble”

Okay...this isn't as bad as the others which made him calm down and let out a sigh of relief.

Jeongin:“I don't know if I should be thankful or disgusted”

Jisung(chuckling):“you can be the two together”

Jeongin smiled apon seeing Jisung chuckling and was happy that he got to see the outcast laughter even if he was wearing his mask.

Jeongin:“out of topic, you remember Hyunjin from high school?”

Jisung looked at him with raised eyebrows.

Jisung:“why did you suddenly bring him up?”

He doesn't remember Hyunjin that much but his handsomeness isn't something you could forget.

Jeongin:“apparently he's also taking therapy from the same therapist”

Jisung's eyes got wide.

Jisung:“that wild...then?”

Jeongin:“I don't know, I just thought of telling you about it”

He started getting comfortable around jisung every time he decided to hang out with him, seriously jisung was the person who didn't make any efforts to understand him.

Jisung:“wait...isn't Hyunjin the same Hyunjin you follow on your Instagram”

He shouldn't be surprised because jeongin was himself an idol so it wasn't a big deal to him if he met someone popular.

Jeongin:“yeah, I have no idea how to approach him if we ever meet again”

Because Hyunjin wanted to meet up with him which is suspicious.

Jisung:“that's nice, you've got a therapy buddy”

Jeongin just sighed and then both decided to watch an horror movie while they were at jisung's dorm.
