I sat across from Jimin as his eyes pierced through me. He tilted his head and smirked as I mirrored his action myself.

"Aren't you going to ask me about my alter?"

"What can you tell me about him?"

"I'm not going to talk about him today."

"No?"

"No."

I cant allow him to control the session...but I can allow him to think he is in control. I decided to play his game a bit.

"So what are we going to talk about?"

"You."

"Me?"

"You."

"What about me?"

"You expect us to freely talk about ourselves and put our trust in you, but I don't trust so easily. If you want me to open up to you...then don't you think its fair for you to open up to me first?"

He made a valid point.

"What do you want to know?"

"Why do you always wear dresses?"

"I like the way they look, they are comfortable and they look professional...don't you think?"

"They do look very nice." He said as his eyes traced from my chest to my legs.

"Thank you."

"What is your favorite color?"

"Royal blue."

"Do you have any family?"

"No. My mother died when I was born and my dad was a drunk. The only 'family' I had was an older brother that moved across the country. I haven't heard from him in years."

"So you're...alone?"

"I have the 7 of you." I smiled.

He giggled at my flirty tone and I swear I saw a bit of pink flush his cheeks, but he spoke again quickly as if he didn't want to falter from his rhythm.

"Ever had a boyfriend?"

"A boyfriend? During medical school or my residency?" I laughed shaking my head. "No."

He tilted his head slightly, that must have peaked his interest. "Have you ever been in love?"

"That's a bit personal don't you think?"

"Not nearly as personal as some of the other questions I have. And I'm sure once it's your turn for questions, yours will be just as personal."

I simply shrugged my shoulders. "No."

"Are you a virgin?"

I laughed out loud at his question, his eyebrows raised in surprise.

"No Jimin...I'm not a virgin."

He smiled a cynical smile and looked away momentarily then looked back at me.

"Tae will be disappointed."

"I don't want to talk about Tae."

He raised his hands a bit in a mocking surrender. He crossed his arms on his chest and let out a hard breath. "Did you enjoy dancing with me?"

"I did actually, it was very fun. Hopefully we can do it again."

"Did you enjoy the way I touched you?"

My heart fluttered and I could feel my body heat rise as I watched him bite his very plump lower lip.

"This topic is getting inappropriate Jimin."

"It's a simple yes or no question Doctor Hudson."

I internally debated on whether or not be honest. I very much enjoyed his touch...too much. I don't want to give him any reason not to trust me...so I went with downplaying an honest answer.

"I won't lie, it was nice to be held that way...it's been a long time."

"I can hold you like that whenever you want you know. All you have to do is ask me. I enjoyed touching you more than I can explain."

"Jimin I'm your doctor. You and I shouldn't be having this kind of conversation."  I took a pause and he looked at me with an expression I couldn't read. "When are we going to talk about you and your alter?"

"Once I learn more about you."

I sighed heavily and looked at my watch. We had only been here for 30 minutes.

"Am I boring you Doctor."

"No Jimin, you're not. But I'm getting annoyed by the game you are trying to play. What else do you want to know about me?"

"Why Alice In Wonderland?"

"The story takes you away from reality. Reality can be ugly...it can be devastating. The idea of accepting nonsense gives me hope in the world we live in to be worth living in."

"And the Cheshire Cat?" He asked pointing to the figurine on my desk.

"I wasn't lying when I said that everyone has madness in them, but that it's how we handle our madness that counts. He's a perfect representation of that."

"What kind of madness are you hiding Doctor?" he asked looking me deep in the eyes.

I laughed getting up from my chair and making my way over to my desk. I grabbed my copy of Alice In Wonderland to toss it into his lap. He caught it in a surprise and I sat back down in my seat.

"One day...when you're bored and need something to do...read it. It could enlighten you."

"That doesn't tell me the kind of madness that is inside of you."

"And I won't be answering that."

He nodded without pressing the matter. "I have one more question."

"Go on."

"Well its not really a question."

I raised an eyebrow and gesture him to continue.

"Tell me a secret. Tell me a secret and I will answer all the questions you have."

"I don't have any secrets."

"Bullshit." He retorted seeming annoyed.

I laugh. "You'd think I would...but keeping everyone else's secrets makes little room for my own."

"Yet you won't answer about the madness within you."

I stayed silent until he let out a loud dramatic sigh.

"Fine. Thank you for answering my questions."

"I found it fair, so you are welcome."

"What question do you have for me?"

"When is the last time your alter surfaced?"

"A year ago."

"A year ago? And nothing has triggered him since?"

"Nope."

I looked at him a little dumbfounded. A year? He's been here a year without any activity of his alter and he is still here?

"Did...did your previous doctor think that to be important at all?"

"He didn't really focus on anyone other than Taehyung. He was otherwise occupied..."

"I'll discuss that with Taehyung tomorrow but let's stay focused shall we?"

"He talked to me one on one...one time. He said that I shouldn't be here and that he would write a letter to the hospital requesting my release."

"Did he not follow through?"

"No he did. But I ripped up the letter and threw it out."

"Why would you do that?"

"Because I don't trust that he wont come back."

"Have you felt him within you that makes you think that he will return?"

"No...but when he's here I can't control him."

"Do you have any of the same thoughts?"

"His...sexual preferences are shared with my own...his...aggression is too. But I wouldn't force it on anyone...he would. He is also quite violent...I'm not. I remember the things he does...but I can't stop him."

"Has anyone in the house met him?"

"Namjoon has...and Tae...we have all been here for years. Gone through several psychiatrists...no one has been able to help. Then you came along...you and your break through medicine. We are all desperate to get it...we want to live normal lives."

"That doesn't come without therapy first, but Jimin...you could have been out there...you could be cured..."

"I'm not." He interrupted. "You have no idea what he is capable of. I will not leave this house until I know for sure that he will never come back." He had a stern look on his face, after a moment his expression softened and he smiled. "Besides...we are just getting to know each other...now I really don't want to leave."

I couldn't stop my face from turning red and I couldn't look away from his eyes. The look he gave me made me feel like jelly and his smile made my heart race.

"Doctor...are you blushing?" he said with a smile that reached his eyes.

I looked away. "You know Jimin...sometimes I feel like you're as bad as Tae with your flirting and teasing." I looked back to him. "But at least he owns up to it"

He laughed loudly and stood up from his seat. Making his way over to me he kept his eyes locked on mine. Finally, when he was directly in front of me, he leaned his body over mine and placed his hands on each side of the chair. He allowed himself to lower towards me more until he was so close my back was forced to be pressed against the chair. He scanned my face and when he spoke I felt his breath on my lips.

"Is this owning up to it enough...Doctor?"

I was speechless, and I couldn't look away from him. My gaze lowered to his lips as he licked them...his plump welcoming wet lips were so close...all I needed to do was lean forward...just a little...and his would be connected with mine....no. I can't do that. I swallowed hard and looked back into his eyes before speaking.

"I think our time is done Jimin."

But he didn't move. He leaned even more into me his nose touching mine. He closed his eyes and moved his head slightly so his nose grazed mine. I could feel his breath again against my skin and he moved from my nose to my jaw line tracing it with his nose.

"I don't want to leave." He whispered
