The meaning of living| Yoonmin

Mr. Kim said that I can stay in my dorm like Yoongi to eat as long as I promise to try an eat. Its currently kick ball time and I'm sitting on the side lines watching because I don't want to play. Some of them are pretty good players. I look over and see Yoongi sitting under a tree on the other side of the field. I get up and walk over to him. I set down across from him but giving him distance.

"Hi." I say.

"Hey." He says not looking up from his notebook.

"Mr. Kim told me you'll be joining me for meals." He says writing in his notebook.

"Yeah. I'm kinda done with people already." I say.

"Now you know how I feel." He mumbles looking up for the first time.

Our eyes meet and we both look away. He's really handsome.

"So what are you writing?" I ask.

"It's nothing, just a therapy thing." He explains.

"For what?" I ask.

"My OCD." He answers.

"You have OCD?" I ask.

"Yeah." He answers.

"Me too." I admits.

"Is that one of your problems?" He asks.

"One of them yes, how did you know?" I ask.

"They usually put their patients together with someone who's similar to them." He explains.

I look at the ground a bit confused.

"I have multiple problems, so you would too." He elaborates.

"Oh." I say.

I stop and play with the grass before I think of something.

"Hey, you talked to me normally." I realize.

"Because I'm trying not to focus on that. Another therapy trick". He mumbles.

"Maybe you can teach me some of these tricks." I suggest.

"You should tell me about all your problems." He says.

"I-Um-I-I" I stumble out

"You don't have to tell me. But I can't help you." He tells me.

"I told you one of mine." I sorta of whine.

"I guess I can help you with that. Do you have a journal?" He asks.

"Yes." I say.

"I also do this because of my anxiety. But I've been here 6 years, so you get used to it. Take your journal with you and if you feel uncomfortable write what makes you uncomfortable." He suggests.

"That could work." I admit.

"Why aren't you playing?" He asks.

"That would be one of my problems." I stand up.

"But I will tell you later." I joke before walking away.

I go back to the game and watch until the game ends.
