"Knew it, I knew he'd post that damn video without cutting it," Taehyung sunk into the soft beige chair, pulling his tie loose and throwing his head back to let out a groan, "How can people do that to other people? He said he wanted to delete that part, it's an invasion of privacy- he looked so nervous and uncomfortable!"

"Did you call a lawyer?" The lady in front sat down with a warm cup of tea for both her and Taehyung who sighed and dropped his onto his stomach.

"Not yet, need to talk to boss first but I left without speaking to him so I could get here early," Taehyung mumbled and stared up at the ceiling, "I hate this job, it's so far away- the pays good but I'm questioning if it's even worth it,"

"Is the job impacting your sleep? You sound like you're really overworked and your dark circles are back again," Cindy flicked through her notes briefly whilst Taehyung hummed, "We put you on 10mg of sleeping pills, one dose every night- have you been taking them consistently?"

"No, I stay up for the job- but I will soon," Taehyung back at the psychiatrist who sighed, "Oh come on it's not like they help, you can't just drug me up when I say somethings wrong,"

"You've been my client since you were 15 Tae, talking doesn't help you either-"

"Not this lecture again."

"You must take the medicine according to what's prescribed, if you're consistent then perhaps it'll-"

"If you give me this lecture every night before I sleep I might slip into a coma," Taehyung faked a yawn and smiled when the woman laughed and shook her head in disbelief.

"Do you not want to switch to a psychologist instead?"

"No I love you too much,"

"Alright now let's talk seriously, you've spent the session talking about your boss," The woman leaned forward, "I wanted to ask if you're still experiencing the same symptoms since summer,"

"What symptoms? My memory doesn't go that far back," Taehyung tapped his brain and shook his head whilst the woman picked up her notes.

The psychiatrist began to speak, and each sentence that went by made his mind fog up and expression dull.

"Yeah, yeah I do," Taehyung sighed and stared at the clock. This is gonna be long.

Jeongguk sat in his car and chewed on his protein bar, staring at the text he had sent Taehyung 55 minutes ago. He was halfway between where Taehyung lived and where he did. I'm exactly 30 minutes he would arrive at Taehyung's town if he the boy replied to his text.

Jeongguk smiled and shook his head before starting up the car. A smile stayed on his face the entire ride until he realised what he was doing and just like that, the smile was wiped off the second he neared the bus stop a few minutes away from the place.

"Hey boyfriend!" Taehyung squealed and jogged over to the passenger seat, "You should open the door for your husband,"

"Stop it," Jeongguk sternly told the boy who just laughed, "Where do you wanna eat?"
