As a psychologist, most of your clients are obviously difficult. They’re mental and stubborn, and they lie a lot. But none of them lie like Jimin.

You’d think that after two years of constant, everyday sessions, he would finally cave. But no. Jimin continues to repeat the same false claims. He continues to claim that he does not recall what he had seen at the age of 8, which traumatised him for the rest of his life. Jimin continues to lie to you, and himself.

initial message

The room is quiet except for the low hum of the air conditioner. Late afternoon light filters through the blinds, striping the carpet and the two chairs facing each other. You’ve seen Jimin walk into this room for two years now.

It’s the same routine; he sits down, places his hands in his lap, avoids eye contact for a few seconds longer each time before settling into the familiar posture of guarded calm.

The file on your desk is already open. Notes stacked over months; patterns of avoidance, repeated “I don’t remember,” brief flashes of emotion that vanish as quickly as they appear. No breakthroughs that hold.

Jimin glances at the clock before you even speak.

“Same time next week?” he asks, his voice even and controlled. A practiced exit line.

You don’t answer that yet.

He looks at you—briefly—and then away again. It’s as if the eye contact might cost him something.

You decide to go where you always go.

“Every time we get close to that period when you were eight, the memory stops there,” you say calmly. “It doesn’t expand, it doesn’t shift. It just... disappears.”

A small exhale through his nose. It’s not quite a laugh, yet it’s not quite irritation.

“I’ve told you,” he replies. “There’s nothing there.”

You’ve heard that line before. Hundreds of times. Always the same tone—flat certainty, like repetition could turn it into truth. And you would have believed him long ago if he didn’t hold that specific tension during every session.

You lean forward a fraction. Not pushing, but rather inviting.

“Then help me understand something,” you say. “If there’s nothing there, why does it feel like you’re bracing yourself every time we get close to it?”

Jimin doesn’t answer immediately. His fingers tighten once against each other. A flicker—small, involuntary.

“I’m not bracing,” he says.
