"Your relationship with your friends and family," Dr. Kim said, guiding the conversation towards a topic that held a mix of emotions for each member of the group.

Haechan couldn't help but feel a slight unease. His relationship with his mother had always been strained, and it had reached a breaking point after an incident that led him to move out. He had distanced himself from his old friends, except for Johnny, who remained a constant in his life.

"Some people say family has to be blood, but in some cases, it doesn't have to be," Jisung chimed in, his words carrying a hint of understanding.

"True, I think the same way," Chenle added, his tone reflective of his own complex family dynamics.

The topic touched a nerve for Renjun. His family situation was unique; he had been adopted into another family, which sometimes left him feeling like he didn't quite belong. Haechan took the initiative to speak on his behalf, expressing his worries about his biological family and his distant relationship with his adoptive one.

Mark, on the other hand, had strong ties to his parents. He communicated with them frequently, although their concern for his well-being sometimes felt overwhelming.

"I lost my mom while I was in high school, so all I have is my dad and my grandma," Jaemin shared, his voice carrying a mix of nostalgia and sadness.

"Do you ever think about your mom?" Haechan's question was sensitive, and it opened a door to Jaemin's memories.

"Sometimes, but rarely. She was very interesting," Jaemin replied, his words alluding to a complexity he preferred not to delve into.

With the conversation evolving, Dr. Kim unveiled an assignment for the group. He urged them to connect with their families or close friends, with the option to report back on their experiences in a subsequent session.

His instruction lingered in the air, leaving each member to contemplate the task. Despite their different backgrounds and circumstances, the assignment offered a common objective—to bridge the gaps in their relationships and possibly unearth deeper layers of understanding
