After taking his medication, Hyunjae gradually fell into a deep sleep. The emotional toll of the day had taken a toll on his body, and he finally succumbed to exhaustion. The room fell into a quiet hush, the only sound being the soft breathing of sleeping Hyunjae.

"I was thinking to get Hyunjae a therapy" said Younghoon.

Younghoon had recently learned from the doctor about Hyunjae's condition. The doctor had explained that Hyunjae was experiencing mental trauma, which likely led to his minor memory loss and occasional dazed states. This knowledge only added more worry for Younghoon, as he knew his brother was struggling internally.

Younghoon decided to would be best to arrange for Hyunjae to see a therapist, hoping that professional support could help his brother deal. He knew that Hyunjae desperately needed help in coping with his mental trauma.

"That would be a good idea, hyung" said Changmin.

"Therapy..."

"Sunwoo"

"It's fine. I've been through it. It's boring if I say it honestly" said Sunwoo.

"You never like to see therapy" said Eric.

"I can't help it. Whenever I see a therapy, they always asking me about what I feel and remembering back what happened about Kim Yura" said Sunwoo.

Sunwoo's fingers dug into his own arm, his trembling as he desperately tried to push the memories of Kim Yura away. The thought of that woman, how she had stalked him and even tried to harm her own brother, Kim Mingyu, was too much to bear. He could feel the weight of those painful memories bearing down on him, causing his whole body to shiver.

"Sunwoo ya"

Sunwoo knew that meeting with a therapist was important, but the thought of revisiting those terrible memories filled him with dread. Every time he went to therapy, he would force himself to recount the horrors he had experienced, even though he desperately wanted to forget. It was a constant struggle, facing his past demons and reliving the trauma, but Sunwoo knew it was necessary for his healing.

It was exhausting for Sunwoo to constantly confront his painful memories during therapy sessions. The sessions often left him feeling raw and emotionally drained, as he had to constantly face the traumas that haunted him. Despite the weariness that came with each session, he understood how crucial these appointments were for his recovery.

Sunwoo was well aware that Hyunjae would likely experience the same feelings of exhaustion and depletion after his therapy sessions, just as he had after his own appointments. He didn't want his brother to go through the same draining emotional experience that he had endured. It was a difficult situation, as he knew that therapy was important for Hyunjae's healing, yet he feared the toll it would take on his already troubled brother.

As Juyeon gently caressed Sunwoo's back, offering him some reassurance, Sunwoo found some small measure of comfort. The physical contact provide a small soothing effect on his tensed muscles, and the gesture itself was a show of support and understanding. Sunwoo's shoulders relaxed slightly, and he gave Juyeon a small but grateful nod, silently acknowledging the comfort he receiving.

"I know you're worried if Hyunjae meet with a therapist but this is also the only way to help him" said Changmin.

"I know. I just worried. That's all" said Sunwoo.

"I'm sure Hyunjae can handle it. If you can do it, Hyunjae can do it too" said Younghoon.

Haknyeon had been lying in bed, his mind consumed by the recent events that had unfolded. The abduction of Hyunjae and Jaehyun, the tragic loss of one and the accusation against Kevin were all weighing heavily on his thoughts.
