The clinic on the ground floor was bright with white walls and light blue designs scattered on them. It had a calm ambience. There weren't too many patients or staff. The place was well organised according to the needs of patients. The chief doctor's office was right in the front, so Taehyung and his mother waited outside until it was their turn.

Upon their turn, both entered the room.

"Go Minah-ssi, Welcome! Oh-", the doctor in white coat stopped speaking seeing Taehyung.

The lady bowed and introduced the new person as her son, "He is my son, Kim Taehyung. I mentioned him during my visits before"

Taehyung bowed and shook hands with the doctor.

"Ah! Yes, I remember. Hello! I'm Dr.Choi Yeonjun"

It was a new place so, Taehyung felt awkward and it was not like he was eager to visit either. Looking around the office while his mom and the doctor who looked like he was in his mid 50s chatted, he smiled at a box of candies on the table.

"You can have one", the doctor offered Taehyung a small candy but the other kindly refused feeling embarrassed.

"Take it easy. I want you to feel comfortable while you talk about things. And what people talk about in here is not something easy to share so I would like you to calm down and then we can begin. No rush at all", he smiled at Taehyung.

He nodded understanding the words only meant good but his sweaty hands and dry throat didn't help him. He wanted to end this as soon as possible. Then he could relax back home beside Jimin. If his boyfriend was with him maybe he could control the insecure emotions within his mind.

"Um...I heard about your father. But only a part of him and his actions through your mother. But what you might have to share could hold different views and opinions. I can decided the state of the patient only after hearing all sides of opinions and ofcourse that includes your father's  too"

Taehyung knew this would be difficult. He might need time but there wasn't much time left to hesitate. He didn't want to drag and then regret after something bad happened. Wetting his lips multiple times and swallowing nothing but air he decided to give it a go.

Switching on his phone he looked at the home screen. Photo of a happy Jimin beamed at him, assuring him that there was nothing to worry about when he has his love. Smiling at his pretty lover he looked up at the doctor.

Nodding at him he breathed in a lump of air and began narrating his past, the same words he shared with Hoseok. He paused few times but holding onto his phone he nevertheless continued. And his mother looked at her son with increasing guilt and regret. Her eyes were wet the whole time but she didn't want to cry. Atleast she needs to be strong for him.

"....When I reached Jimin's house...I heared a camera flash. My legs wouldn't move and my mind went blank except for the thought that it could be my father. I didn't want it to be true but I had already memorized the sound of his camera flashes so I knew it can't be wrong....that my guess was right. With my breath hitching I opened the door but soon felt the air in my lungs being sucked out. I wanted to drop dead on the floor.

But my body moved on it's own. Only with the thought of protecting Jimin I ran towards him. He was lying asleep on the bed. When I held him I could feel his cold wet skin, how badly he was shivering and when he held me back I wanted to cry so bad. Because I was almost late.

My father stood checking his camera with his same old smile. I quickly checked Jimin for any injuries or marks but fortunately nothing had happened. Covering him with a blanket, I looked at the man and all he said was, "Jimin is so pretty ain't he Taehyung-ah? And he is more beautiful when he is scared. I was so fascinated seeing him shiver so I removed his shirt to expose his sk-"
