Chapter 3

"Wow, you're back. Thought you have gotten cold feed. Not showing up for two weeks. That's very unprofessional of you." Jungkook chuckled, folding his legs in his lap. "Almost missed you with how long you were gone."

Taehyung chuckled, sitting down on that one chair they had supplied him with. "I'll make sure not to disappear for so long that you'll miss me again." He glanced at his notes before putting them to his side. He wasn't working here anymore, so why would he still focus on taking notes on everything?

"Actually I have a reason for not having been here the last two weeks."

He watched Jungkook raise an eyebrow. "Oh really? What was it?"

Taehyung nodded. "They decided that you're no longer in need of a therapist so they fired me kinda?"

For the first time since Taehyung had come here, Jungkook seemed surprised. "Oh... so you're here to say goodbye? Didn't take you as that kind of sentimental person."

Taehyung chuckled. Maybe, even though he knew what Jungkook was, what he was capable of...part of him liked that boy, even with his attitude.

"Actually no. I'm still here because I thought it wasn't a good idea to leave you alone without anyone to talk to. I know you're not a fan of our conversations, but staying holed up in here all on your own is probably not something you'd want either. And they allowed me to stay as long as I don't ask for payment."

Jungkook raised an eyebrow.

"That's kind of stupid of you, not gonna lie. How will you even survive if you don't make any money?" Even though Jungkook still had his usual demeanor, that wall that made him seem like he didn't care about anything, his focus was completely on Taehyung for once. He genuinely seemed curious.

Taehyung leaned back. This was the first actual conversation he had ever had with Jungkook. Sure, they had talked to each other before, but never like this. Never anything but Taehyung asking Jungkook straight forward questions and Jungkook answering vaguely.

This time Jungkook was actually asking something about him.

"I never started my career as a therapist to make money. I come from a pretty wealthy family. Money has never really been an issue. And as I said, I didn't like the thought of leaving you completely alone."

Taehyung wasn't sure how to decipher Jungkook's gaze. He just stared at Taehyung, his expression not changing in the slightest, before leaning back against the wall and looking up at the ceiling. "Well... you're still stupid though."

After that Jungkook didn't say another word. They just sat there in silence for quite some time and it was oddly comfortable like this. Usually, he tried to force conversation with Jungkook, but the quiet was nice too.

Jungkook was the one to break the silence after what must have been at least half an hour. "I'm grateful though. It is kind of depressing to be here all on my own."
