Damaged

"I heard you can't speak, right? Okay, pick which notebook you want." I asked while looking at him.

I thought he wouldn't pick but he did. He picked a yellow notepad and got a pen. I got some sticky notes as I almost ran out in my office and got a notebook for myself too. Pick yourself some clothes too. I looked at him as the hospital gave him some clothes from people that left their items there before. He quickly picked out some stuff and we left. We got in a taxi and went to get some breakfast at a coffee shop. However, he held back and pointed at a different coffee shop that looked really abandoned. I doubted in going with him but maybe it wasn't that scary. So, I went along with him. We went in and it was indeed dead inside. No one but us and the cashier was there.

"Concerning..." I whispered.

We ordered either way and sat down in a very dark corner. I don't think I could see nothing but the walls around us.

"Did you work before this?" I asked.

He didn't try to write. I guess he was just really hungry. So, we waited and to my surprise it looked good!

After, taking a few bites he got the pen and asked, "What's your name?"

I chuckled and responded. "You can call me doctor Feli. I'm a therapist but I guess I'm your therapist now too."

"No." He wrote.

I just laughed. "Okay."

He just furrowed his eyebrows. I just smiled at him. People didn't really like us but that was okay too. Patience is the key to our patients.

"Can I know how old are you?" I asked.

His eyes wondered around.

"I just want to feel more comfortable with you. Since, you'll be living with me now but don't worry. Once, you talk again you can go back to your life again. I'm sure you were doing something good with your life before this. I saw your clothes it was a good brand unless you stole it." I gave a unacceptable look.

Yoongi just smiled.

I felt more at ease. "I guess I'm right. Don't worry we'll just write a letter to your boss and that should fix that. Just focus on your health."

He wrote again. "No."

I just looked at him. "Fine. Do whatever you want. Just do me a favor and try to talk again. It's really important that way you can fix your trauma."

He continued to eat and wondered if he was even listening to me. I continued to eat and just examined him. He didn't really look at me. Yoongi avoided eye contact but that was normal in my patients.

"Is anybody looking for you? I spoke with the officer but he said your a homeless guy..." I asked concerned.

He didn't write nothing.

"I just don't want to feel guilty keeping you in my house knowing that someone may be looking for you."

"Nobody cares." He wrote down.

"Well, I do." I smiled as I told him.

"Liar." He wrote again.

My mouth dropped. "I'm letting you stay with me." I informed him.

"Why cause there's no room in the shelters?" He asked on his yellow notebook.

"You know I never done this for any of my patients. I really feel drown to you and I don't know why but I think it's a good thing."

"No." He wrote.

I took his notebook and scratched it off. I wrote "yes."

"Learn this world Mr. Min." I ordered him. "Alright, let's go if you're down." I said as I stood up and walked to the exit.

He quickly grabbed my hand and I looked back at him confused. He looked up at the sky and I looked too. It was beginning to rain again.

"Oh it's okay. We'll just take a taxi." I told him as I tried to pull him with me but he pulled back.

"You guys want an umbrella?" The girl at the coffee shop asked. "People forget about them and don't come back."

"People?" I questioned it because not a single soul came in as we were there but the food was really good. I could be wrong maybe it's just the rain that made it really lonely.

Yoongi pointed to his notebook that said "Yes."

"Thank you. Sorry, I guess he doesn't like the rain."

"It's ok. He looks a little sick." She even noticed.

"He's getting better. He was just discharged. Thanks a lot." I smiled.

He let go of my hand and unfolded the umbrella.

"You don't like the rain cause it triggers something from your past right?" I asked as I stood next to him waiting for the taxi to arrive.

He looked down at me and I tried to maintain the eye contact but he broke it. He looked at the puddle of water and saw the fast car coming. Next, thing you know he brings me into a hug, then turns his back towards the street and water splashes all over his back and some over our umbrella. I gasped and couldn't believe it.

"Oh sorry!" The driver shouted.

I pulled away and see Yoongi's face expression. His hands turned into fists and I turned his face towards mine.

"Come on it's okay. We aren't dying." I assured him.

He got distracted and the driver left. Yeah I was pissed but one of us had to control the other. He looked at his coat and I noticed his rapid breathing. I unbuttoned his coat and tried to quickly take it off.

"Let's go for a walk it looks like the sun is out again." I said carrying the wet coat in my arms as he held the umbrella over us.

We walked into a phone store and I got him a phone. It came with a pen that way he didn't have to carry that notebook with him. Plus, when I wasn't physically with him how could I talk to him?

"You know how to use this right?" I asked him.

He wrote with his pen "Yes."

"Oh! You learned the world very fast!" I got excited.

"No." He quickly wrote.

I looked at him annoyed and said. "Let's go home. I need to see what damages have been done and see if we have electricity."

"Hey honey! The electricity is back." My elderly neighbor informed me when we arrived home.

"Oh thank goodness!" I responded relieved.

"Is that your boyfriend? I'm glad you bought him."

"W-what?" I was shocked that I couldn't even say anything else. I looked back at him and he was already getting a broom to clean up the front porch.

I looked back at her but she was already gone. I went inside to go charge my phone and see if anything was damaged. The bathroom upstairs had a leak and the lightbulb went out. My fridge was making squeaky noises and my dryer wasn't heating my clothes up.

"Great, just great." I sarcastically told myself.

Yoongi came and to my surprising he knew how to fix every single problem my house had. Maybe, it's not that bad having him here.
