it was six in the evening and jungkook found himself in the office of the therapist, wiping his eyes furiously as tears of anger cascaded down his cheeks.

"what are you looking at?" he muttered angrily, looking at the therapist who just stared at him.

"you haven't even told me why you're here. or why you're crying. what's wrong jungkook?" the therapist asks, crossing his legs as usual.

he handed jungkook a tissue, placing his arms on his legs.

jungkook wiped his eyes sighing.

"i want to get better. i am done being like this. everyone i love keeps leaving me. why? because of how i am. please help me. help me taehyung." jungkook whispered, finally looking up at the therapist.

taehyung gasped in shock. maybe they were on first name bases now.

"i'll try my best. but you... you don't look so good. want to come with me?"

"where."

"come on." he said as he switched his white coat for a beige one, putting it on and locking up his office as jungkook stepped out behind him.

"really?" jungkook questions, unimpressed.

"an ice cream shop is one of the only things that can make people feel better. brain freezes are gorgeous too. loosen up a little jungkook."

"yeah sure." jungkook rolls his eyes as the bell above the door jingles, him and the therapist walking into the pastel colored place.

after picking out flavors, the two men sit in a booth close to the window, watching people hurry home as the sky got darker.

"do you want to explain what happened now?"

"i don't want to talk about this mr kim."

"we're back to mr kim now? i won't force you to call me taehyung, but sometimes, it's better to talk about what happened to you. keeping it bottled in just makes your emotions a jumbled mess."

jungkook sighed, scooping ice cream into his mouth.

"i didn't want to see a therapist anymore. my boyfriend, jimin-"

"you have a boyfriend? jimin is your boyfriend?"

"yes. why?"

"nothing. carry on."

taehyung's heart began to thump in his chest. jungkook had a boyfriend.

why did it feel weird and hot in there?

"jimin gave me your contact card to call you. it took a few days because i didn't want to. i met him today. it seemed like he was moving on. it's barely been a month! he forgot about me already and i'm trying to get better for him." jungkook said, swallowing ice cream harshly.

a bit of the ice cream dropped from the corner of his lips and impulsively, taehyung grabbed a napkin, wiping the corner of jungkook's lips.

the both of them were frozen as they stared into each other's eyes.

jungkook cleared his throat, "i have to... um... i have to get going." he said, rising from his seat and placing some money on the table.

shoving his hands into his pocket, he walked out of the ice cream shop, into the cold seoul night.
