Tree House

chapter 4

To. Brother Level Mark

Brother Mark, please ask for permission to the lecturer who taught the class today for me huh? I've permission personally, only when the presence is afraid of being forgotten. Previous scabies.

Just now Jaemin was sending this message to his elder brother. Unexpectedly he didn't tell his gang if he skipped college today. Not why, but this is indeed a personal matter that he thought he could not tell his best friend, even Jihyun.

He grabbed his waist bag and immediately stepped away from his studio. His appointment with a psychiatrist lasted two hours. And probably won't take long. But he prefers to skip all day rather than take the time to attend a class that is somewhat hunted if pursued. I don't know.

Jaemin's footsteps were more relaxed but in his mind were full of suspicions about himself. Is there a problem with his psychology, does he have a mental illness? What and what. Arrive at a well-known and trusted psychiatric clinic recommended by his mother.

Jaemin didn't say he needed a psychiatrist for his mother. His alibi has a friend who is depressed because of the final task and seems to need an expert hand. Of course his mother was relieved, because it was not for her son. However, he must help find a trusted psychiatrist.

He opened the door of the clinic that seemed modern minimalist. Not too many things but not empty. There is a feeling of calm and coolness due to the plants that decorate every corner of the room.

"Na Jaemin, please enter Doctor Shin's room."

He entered after knocking on the door three times. The room is quite spacious and neat. He was directed to sit in a therapy chair. Without much question Jaemin simply followed him.

The doctor smiled sweetly and kindly. He started his conversation with a light introduction without burdening.

"Are you comfortable telling a story?" ask the doctor who is sitting close in front of Jaemin.

Jaemin told me everything that happened yesterday. Without shame because of fellow people who are in the field of health expertise.

"Have any past events left a wound to Nak Jaemin?"

Jaemin admits he vaguely remembers his childhood. He said he had experienced abuse cases as a child but he felt he could handle it.

The Doctor called Mr. Shin is named Shin Hyun Joong. Mr. Shin kept asking trying to uncover the secret of Jaemin's consciousness.

"Maybe there's a memory piece hiding Nak Jaemin."

Hearing Mr. Shin, Jaemin was struggling with his thoughts, what memories did he forget?

"You're so what should I do, Mr. Shin?"

"The most commonly used method is "hypnosis. From this hypnosis I will try to help Nak Jaemin to explore Nak Jaemin's subconscious. It also takes Nak Jaemin's readiness to see it."

The explanation is quite long and understandable to him. Is he ready to know his reason like yesterday.

"Doctor Shin, I want to do it" Jaemin said.

Doctor Shin who heard him smiled faintly. He saw Jaemin's determination to heal. But he also knew that this was the first time Jaemin had a consultation session like this, it was usually not that easy to uncover secrets in humans.

It could be said that after the hypnosis process so far, Jaemin was still combing through the door in his memory passageway. He had not yet found the door that was his main purpose. As a warm-up, some doors were opened. He can see his memories as a child. He was in class with Jihyun in 3rd grade Elementary before moving house.

The flashback

SD School named SD TULIP it has a simple but neat building and decorated with pictures of children. During his three years of elementary school, this was the first time Jaemin had ever been in a class with Jihyun. Back then, children of different classes rarely knew each other. As the number of students in class A where Jihyun was located decreased that year, and in class B instead increased, it was forced for two students from class B to be transferred. Jaemin with his little friend Jihoon moved to class B voluntarily, these two children despite the installments but including obedient and understanding children.

Jihyun is a child whose learning motivation is high. But the way he plays with other kids is too difficult and shy. Sometimes there are boys who deliberately jail him, maybe because they like it, but seeing the reply and response Jihyun who seemed to not care about him made some of the boys discouraged. Love of monkeys. At that time the class champion was still the top priority of a Shin Jihyun of course.

Na Jaemin is one of those guys. If it must be admitted that Shin Jihyun was not a beautiful child, her face was also not ugly, but some children were anxious with her chubby cheeks at that time, including Na Jaemin.however, some children felt uneasy with her cheeks, it was not on the first day of class A that he fell in love with Jihyun.

Only the daily cycle of SD children as usual, Hygiene Picket. Thursday is Jihyun and Jaemin's picket schedule. Whether because it was diligent or what, Jihyun always came early and tried to overcome the picket that 5 people had to do, alone. Early in the morning he had packed the chair and swept the floor before his friends even came. Indeed, the picket system at Tulip Elementary School is carried out in the morning. So when the kids picket, the others have to stand still outside before the bell sounds.

Jaemin is also said to be a child who came quite early. He always saw Jihyun had completed half the picket task, the rest was only easy to do for other picket members. At first he was just amazed, somehow several times there was a chance the two of them had a little chat. Although short, Jaemin felt comfortable. Jihyun did not talk to him much.

In the morning of Jaemin, there was only Jihyun in his eyes. Over time, he always deliberately asked to be picked up a little late by his father because he wanted to see Jihyun come home even though it was up to the school gate only. Indeed, the childhood has always had its own uniqueness and warmth.

Perhaps from then on his feelings towards Jihyun were rooted until now.

Flashback off

Jaemin was satisfied with his childhood memories. Without knowing the next door that will give him a surprise.

The door this time is different, it has a dark color. Black a little grayish. But the door was locked, as if it could not be opened by the owner. Jaemin put all his efforts into wandering the hallway of memories in search of the key to the gloomy door. The result was nothing, he was tired and felt lost control. Until he finally woke up from his subconscious.

Seeing Jaemin's pale face from fatigue, Doctor Shin knew deep inside Jaemin, he hesitated.

"Calm down, son Jaemin. Next meeting we try again. I hope that Nak Jaemin continues to live the days of Nak Jaemin with a calm heart. Don't think too much."

Jaemin only smiled slightly and apologized because he couldn't do it right now.

Jaemin breezed out of Mr.'s clinic. Shin with heavy steps. He still felt his strength drained due to the key search process. But today, he only brought a quarter of the answers from his problems. Because of this, he did not stop breathing rough all the way.

After all this time, why did the impact of that event happen now?
