Natasaha wheeled the trolley into the cereal section of the supermarket and smiled softly at her little girl sitting in the trolley who was reading a little picture book.

"So Sarang-ah, which cereal are we eating this week?"

Sarang's eyes lit up as she finally noticed that they were in the cereal section, "Choco puffs, mummy!"

"Aww, you read my mind sweetheart!", Natasha replied happily as she loaded their trolley with their favourite cereal.

"Mummy, can we get chocolate milk for Auntie Lily? She always drinks chocolate milk when she's sad."

"Your auntie Lily isn't sad, baby. She's just really embarrassed. But we can get chocolate milk for Lil's and the both of us could get some banana milk too", Natasha chuckled.

"Yay!"

As the duo were at the cashier's counter, Sarang felt a light tap on her shoulder.

"Hey there, I think this belongs to you?", Sarang turned around to find a smiling and rather familiar man; and he was holding her picture book.

"Oh, ye-", Sarang was interrupted by a large squeal from her mother.

"KIM NAMJOON?"

Jeongguk was starting to get comfortable.

It probably was the first time that he felt secure in a place other than his house. Despite the fact that he hated coming to a place to talk about his 'feelings', there was something about the raised blinds and the little potted plant next to the desk that comforted him. He also liked the fact that the bookshelf wasn't filled with some science-y books, but rather it had a few novels, cd's, aesthetic black and white pictures and similar sort of things.

However, Jeongguk's ease wasn't of help to Lily at all.

He did nothing to help Lily at her job- or rather help himself, as Lily would try to make conversation, Jeongguk would just sit, listen and stare at the floor. It wasn't that Jeongguk hated her or something, in fact he knew that the old Jeongguk would have easily become friends with her.

She was kind, interesting, persistent and consistent.

Nevertheless, in the back of his mind Jeongguk couldn't help but feel if she was only being kind and considerate of him just because she was being paid for it.

But she was good at what she did, just after their first session she made her side clear.

"Jeon Jeongguk-ssi", she cleared her throat, "Do you know what I believe? No one who doesn't want to be helped can be helped. And it looks like to me that you don't want to be here."

"I don't"

"Well then, considering my position I clearly cannot refuse you as a patient and considering yours I cannot treat you. I am going to wait for you till you come around, no matter how long it takes.", and then she smiled and continued, "Don't think I'm giving up on you, I'm giving you time to accept your state and the fact that you need help."

Lily's POV

Life sucked.

At this point a vacuum cleaner could be the symbol of my life.

It had been a half an hour or so since my fourth session with Jungkook ended and I felt like I wasted my 4 years of college, because everything that I learned seemed useless.

While I tried my best to understand him and talk to him he would just stare at the floor and sit, playing with a loose thread on his jacket. He didn't even look up when I gave the 'I will wait for you' speech, and that really hit hard because it seemed like I was so useless in helping him out. That I failed to do my best as a psychologist and an ARMY.

But I wasn't going to give up, I was going to stand by him and help him become happy again, no matter what. Because I knew how trying was better than waiting for things to get better. Because I knew how it felt like it was too late to do things.

Also because, I knew that without him I probably would've been 6 feet below the earth right now.

I smiled softly as it started to rain, it may seem weird that I liked the rain because most of the people I knew associated rain with sadness and pain. Natasha for example hated being alone when it rained, and even went to the extent of picking up Sarang early from school on rainy days.

For me, however, rain was a symbol of life, I loved how water was soft enough to give life but also tough enough to take it.

I hummed softly to BTS mixtape in my car, as I started driving away from the hospital. As I started, I caught a familiar figure walking away. Hands in his pocket, his head bent low, he was soaked in the rain. However, he was walking as if it was any other day.

"Jeon Jungkook! ", I called out, "You'll get sick, get inside the car".

Hey Guys!

So here is the fourth chapter of Spring Day! I know that it's really really late, but life happens and sometimes things get out of control.

Anyway, if you're still sticking around, thank you so much! It really means a lot and I love you guys so much!!:)

Honestly, this isn't the best chapter, it's not my personal favourite and I might edit it in the future. However, I did not want to not publish because or else I never would have. Because I would've been waiting to write the perfect chapter and the perfect chapter doesn't really exist.

This chapter is dedicated to serastella and MissFischer98 for being such AMAZING SUPPORTIVE FRIENDS. Y'all really are the best and has motivated me to write this chapter. I love you so both much ❤❤ and you're just awesome, Anera and Annalise.
