Hold On Tae
The rest of the day had been as success. We played games, Euchre mostly with Tae as my partner. We killed Namjoon and Jimin until finally Namjoon didn't want to play anymore. Hobi taught me how to play pool and I was taught a new card game by Jimin called Karma. It was fun and by the time the movie came, Hobi decided on a thriller.
"Really? I give you reign of picking the movie and you still pick a scary one?" I asked a bit in disbelief.
"They are starting not to scare me." He said smiling. "Someone once showed me that in order to move past something you have to face it head on...not sure who said that though." He said tapping his chin.
I giggled a little and snuggled into the corner of the couch. Jimin was on the other end with Taehyung in between us. I had my legs and feet curled underneath me with my elbow on the arm of the couch and my face in my palm. I was exhausted. So much went on today and the fatigue started to get to me. Shortly after the movie started I felt myself being lifted and carried up the stairs. I knew I was being placed on my bed and before I could thank whoever it was I fell asleep.
I had a dream that night.
A dream that...I was alone inside my own head arguing with myself about something I can't really remember. The next morning though I felt different. I felt a little...not myself? But I shook it off and showered getting ready for the day.
Walking down stairs I saw the boys eating breakfast and I joined them.
"You missed a great movie, Quinn." Hobi said taking a bite of his cereal.
"Yeah? I'll have to watch it some other time then." I said yawning. Jimin came over to me just then kissing my shoulder.
"How did you sleep?"
"Weird...I was asleep but I don't feel like I rested at all." I said sighing. He leaned on me and rubbed my arm in the attempt to comort me.
"Maybe go back to sleep?"
"No. There are several important things that need to be discussed today." I replied shacking him off of me. I started to walk to my office and I pulled out my computer.
I knew that I was going to have to find a way to convince Hobi and Jungkook to live together once they are out of the house. That was the conversation for today.
What felt like hours later I heard a knock at my door. It was Jungkook.
"Hey Dr.Hudson...when did you want Hobi and I to come to session?"
"Actually now is fine if you are both free."
They both walked in then and I giggled to myself. A few weeks ago I had to force them to therapy...now they were excited for it. We all sat at the chairs and they both smiled at me waiting for me to start.
"Now...how open would you like me to be?" I asked.
"What do you mean?" Hobi asked tilting his head.
"Well I have confidential information between both of you. Very different...very personal. Your treatements being one of them. Do you want me to speak openly or would you prefer that I be vague?"
"Open." They both said in unison.
I smiled and nodded. "So you both know that Jin and Namjoon are leaving right?" They nodded. "I cant really discuss WHY they will be together, but I assume you understand. However what are your thoughts on leaving the house?"
Hobi smiled immediately looking between Jungkook and myself. "I would love to get out of here. There are a few different studios in the area looking for dancers and I would love to audition. I even told Jungkook about it...he says he wants to as well."
Jungkook nodded. "I like singing...but dancing has always been a passion too."
"Well...I think that can be arranged." I said standing up.
"W-what?" I heard from Jungkook behind me.
I grabbed the printed pages from my desk and braught them over to them. I had printed out the applications for the audition and gave it to them along with the pens.
"Fill them out and I will fax them over." I smiled.
They didn't even hesitate. Once they were done filling out the paperwork I faxed them over to the correct number and sat with them.
"D-does that mean that we will be able to leave the house?" Hosoek asked with a bit of hope.
I nodded. "Hobi...ever since you went to visit your mother's grave... you havnt slipped once. You needed to face that head on, like you said before, and you did. Do you feel different?"
"I feel lighter. Like I'm not carrying around guilt anymore. I have been involing myself in support chat groups online, and I'm not the only one who has gone thought something like that. And I finally accepted that what she did wasn't my fault. I couldn't stop her. And even if I could stop her that one time...she would have done it eventually." As he spoke a tear escaped his eye. "But I can't live here trapped...it's like Joon said...I feel like this is the fist time I've ever had hope in having a different life than this."
"And you Jungkook?"
"I just feel like myself." He said simply. "I just...I don't feel the need to hide anymore...the medication has really helped a lot."
"And you have been taking it regularly?"
He nodded. "I don't want to go back to the fear. I don't miss one day and I don't take more than I'm prescribed."
"Good." I said leaning back. I took a good look at both of their eager faces and couldn't help but break out into a smile. "There is an open 2 bedroom apartment in the same place that Jin and Namjoon are going to be moving to. Are you interested."
"Yes!" They both replied.
"You will have to go there and visit the place. Take a tour. But I already schedule you an appointment and told them that you would likely sign your lease while you are there. Typically you need to provide proof of income so be sure you bring the paperwork you both provided for this place."
"When is the appointment?" Hobi asked.
"Friday. You will be going with Jin and Namjoon to help them move, but you will also take your tour then and sign your lease. You have a parden from the hospital to be gone for 8 hours. Do not make me regret that."
"We wont...I swear." Jungkook said wiggling in his seat.
I smiled. "I wouldn't have done it if I thought I had anything to worry about."
"Now...do either of you have any questions?"
"I do." Jungkook said. "Where will I get my medication?"
"The apartment complex isn't far from this house...and I will be here until you are all ready to be out. And the provider delivers directly do the house."
"So I can visit." He said teasingly.
I nodded. "I'd love for all of you to visit."
"Thank you, doctor. I know when Namjoon made that speech he was speaking for himself...but he was also speaking for me. You've made a huge difference and I can't thank you enough for that."
"I feel the same way." Jungkook chimed in.
We ended the session on a positive note and I couldn't be happier. I went into my room afterwards needing another shower. I got around again, since it was only 4pm and I couldn't quite go to bed yet.
When I went downstairs I saw Tae sitting in silence looking like he was thinking...hard.
"What's going on?"
He looked up at me. "Just thinking...all the hyungs besides Yoongi are packing...and Jungkook is too. Makes me wonder..."
I sat next to him throwing my legs over his lap. "Wonder...what?"
"If I'll get out of here." He said as he placed his hands on my legs.
I pondered for a moment. "What makes you think you wont?" I asked. "You have made the most progress out of anyone..."
"How do you figure?"
"Jinnie was never an alter...you know that. So Jin just needed to regain control over that part of him and as soon as Namjoon admitted to himself he was gay, his alter left as well. It takes a lot of people hardships to come out like that...so yes they both got far with their treatment and thereapy it was only one step they had to take...a big step...a hard step...,but only one nonetheless."
He looked at me and tried interrupting but I held up my hand. "Kookie was hiding from people...his alter needed coaxing out of him because he had too much control over Jungkook. Though not malicious or violent, he had the control nonetheless...so the medication gave him that control." He raised an eye brow. "I know you knew he was taking the medication...but that doesn't matter...and Hoseok told everyone the other night how he got passed his alter. He faced the death of his mother head on and didn't allow it to affect him anymore."
He nodded. "How do I fall into that then?"
"You fought." I said simply. "You didn't have just ONE step to overcome...you didn't have the medication...you fought your alter...or your alter worked with you. One or the other you overcame the thing that you couldn't control. Your subconscious wanted to get better just as much as you did. You fought. Don't ever take that away from yourself."
"Then why am I still here?" He sounded so dejected my chest tightened for him. I leaned towards him and wrapped my arms around him holding him tightly to me as he broke down in sobs. I HAD to wait for tomorrow...I needed him to feel this way. I needed him to really feel pain so that I knew his alter wouldn't ever come back.
"You won't be here forever Tae."
He went to his room shortly after that and I felt my heart sink. Hold on Tae.
