Chapter 16 - Nostalgic Night by Victon

Start from the beginning
                                    

I was immediately relocated to Kyungbok-hyung's apartment for a while. He had a spare room and could watch over me whenever I had one of my nightmares. It was also his guidance and heartfelt suggestions that led me to get some psychiatric help. Out of all the main vocalist trainees in the company he told me that the high officials of the company: CEO, President, and Vice President, had ranked me as second most impressive overall. I'm assuming it was due to this fact that they made an executive decision to foot the bill for my therapy sessions.

I sigh as I realize I was dwelling on unnecessary things right now. The problem was it got me wondering how Lily would react to knowing I went to a psychiatrist. Or how she would react once she knew about the kind of monsters my parents were. I sighed before I excused myself to my room. I give Jaeyeon-hyung a pointed look. A look he deciphers at once and is able to predict what my next step is. "I'll give you the room Jiseongie, and you know you can come to any of us if you need to talk after. In fact, I would prefer you to at least come out after and let us know that you are okay."

I almost want to answer that I think I am okay now, but it's already getting late so I should really call my psychiatrist sooner rather than later. "Dr. Gal? I think I need a moment to talk with you."

Normally the first thing I would do after I know Jiseong needs to make a call to Dr. Gal is to let my twin or Gamon-hyung know. What stops me from following that protocol is the fact that Gamon-hyung still isn't back yet from taking Lily to her hotel, and Juah-hyung has been at the dining room table trying to use an app on his phone to translate the paperwork bundle that Lily has to fill out; he got impatient waiting for Gamon-hyung to get back. So instead I find myself knocking on Minsookie's door. I don't know why I didn't just settle in the living room instead though to be honest.

"Just a minute." Minsookie responds from behind his bedroom door. When he answers he is only clad in a pair of pajama bottoms. We've seen each other in several varying states of undress over the years so I'm not unsurprised by his lack of clothing. However it is the flushed look in his cheeks and ears plus the way he is catching his breath that tells me what I interrupted. After all, there is no exercise equipment, or space to do push ups in his room.

"Oh shit. I'm sorry for interrupting, Minsookie."

He waves it away. "It just hit me really hard seeing her. Smelling her. Touching her. I haven't been with anyone in so long that I needed the release."

I definitely understand that. Out of those of us who aren't virgins he has probably been the most sexually active. Or at least he has been the most vocal about his sexual conquests. Gamon-hyung is pretty tight lipped, but I know he too has had his share of lovers throughout the years. I've only been with one partner myself. We were in a 'friends with benefits' sort of relationship, but I definitely regretted that relationship in the end when I realized she had caught feelings. I knew my heart would only ever belong to my soulmate, and the moment I met her today I realized that she had half of it already. She just didn't know it yet.
