Let me begin by saying three words:

I am sorry.

I am aware that you will not take this news very well and I take full responsibility for the impact that this will have on you. But, believe me when I say it was the best decision for not only me but for you.

As of today, I will be going on a sabbatical from my position at Seoul Psychiatric Institute. This means that, for the moment, I will longer be seeing you as clients or working at the hospital for a unknown length of time.

There have been many things within my personal life that have changed on various levels that has prompted this decision to take a step back. I was losing my objectivity, I was losing my passion, I was losing my desire to come into work; I was not being the best psychologist and doctor that I knew I could be and that is not fair to you. 

You deserve someone who will be able to properly focus on your health and your needs, to properly give you the help that you deserve, and the attention and care that is your right to have. And right now, I am not the person who can give that to you. 

I am not in the right mind or place to properly care for you and as a professional, I know that is not helpful or beneficial to you at all. I have to heal my own mental health before I can properly help care for yours.

I will not, however, leave you without placing you in capable hands. Your care will continue; it will not end. In my absence, I have ensured a proper replacement, someone who I trust completely, will continue with your care and health. Keep an eye out for Dr. Jisoo Kim and keep an open mind. Please give him a chance; I know some of you may not want to but all I ask is you give him a chance. I have worked with him for a significant amount of time and promise you that I wouldn’t put you in hands that I wouldn’t put my own health into. He will do right by you and your therapy needs. Give him a chance to help you continue your journey.

I hope, that on my return, I will find that you have received the best care, that you are continuing to improve, or that you have conquered what we have worked towards conquering. 

Continue to work hard. Continue to do your best. Remember that bad days will happen. Remember that no matter what that I believe in you and all the progress that you have made so far. You are doing so well; please do not give up because of this bump in the road. Continue to work and fight hard to improve.

Forever Yours,

Park Hanbyul, Ph.D

“Do we have to do any last minute alterations?” Dawei asked, giving Minji once over as he tried to make sure every curl he had put on her head was absolutely perfect. The ceremony was going to be small; those currently in the asylum and within Jun and Minji’s circle were all that were going to be in attendance. It didn’t require anything fancy but Dawei wanted to make sure everything was perfect for Minji, This day was a long time in the making and everyone was a bit on edge with twinges of nervousness.

Especially the groom, who was in Hana’s room pacing more than he should have, getting primped and preened by Hana and Athenais (mostly Athenais who was trying to get him to calm down while Hana helped Tiger Lily get dressed in between the young one’s several iterations of wanting to be held by Hanunnie.) Finally, just to get Tiger Lily to calm down, Hana announced she was going to go check on Dawei and Minji, picking up the 5-year-old and quickly ducking out of the room before Jun or Athenais could say anything, making her way down the hall to knock on Minji’s door.

@asy-minzy:

[sms: Baby] I don’t know, maybe? Sneak yourself over here anyway.

He paced in front of Minji’s door several times before he bent down to knock on her door and slide the folded up piece of paper he had wrinkled in his anxiety underneath her door. He then resumed his pacing, waiting to see if she would read it and if she’d open the door at all.

Send “🚿” to join my muse while they are in the shower.

There were moments in their relationship where Minji would do tiny things that caught Jun off guard; not on purpose, mind you. Jun was just easily startled by the simplest of actions most couples would deem normal but since he was constantly in a state of “Shit, she actually married me,” everything she did was a reminder that she was wonderfully in his life.

This was one of those moments; one of those moments that made him freeze for a quick second, trying to allow his mind to properly react to simple gesture his wife had made without turning into blubbering goo.

In his defense, he never expected this to happen, honestly. He should have known she had something up her sleeve when she didn’t protest his wanting to take a quick shower before settling in for the night. But his mind didn’t work like that and when he felt the familiar arms encircle his waist he almost forgot where he was until the also familiar sensation of her skin against his was felt and his all-too-expected tense up occurred briefly. But as soon as it occurred, his shock had passed.

His head turned to glance over his shoulder as he gently spun around in her arms to face her, partly shielding her from the running water in spots.

“Babe?” Jun hums out, an attempt to get his wife’s attention as she trails behind him, her fingers barely wrapping around his. “Babe?” he calls out a bit louder, head turning to glance behind him, wondering if she was even looking at him.

She wasn’t. Her eyes were focused on an imaginary spot on the floor. Jun sighs, a click of his tongue following as he turns around and Minji bumps into him, not realizing he had even stopped walking.
