You stared at the report and then simultaneously at the trembling boy sitting in front of you on the couch.
So, the government of South Korea has finally caught the mafia group 'The Ghost Syndicate' after seven years of investigation. After arresting them, all the victims, slaves, and....others were rescued and half of them were brought back to their families. Only the rest half who were critically traumatized were sent to mental hospitals, asylums, and all.
You being one of the government therapists along with many more were given the same case. The boy in front of you. Full name: Lee Felix Yongbok, or in short only Felix. The 22-year-old boy was kidnapped from Australia and was one of the 'play dolls' of that mafia group. He was kept under their custody for three years.....was sexually assaulted...for three years. Your breath shuddered to even think of what they did to him.....every night....
He has been Haphephobic since then: an intense, irrational fear of being physically touched.
The rest of the report said that he knows a little bit of Korean and mostly English, good for you, you were fluent in English as well. Information about his family was unknown because he was an orphan. So the government has assigned you to be his new guardian and help him return back to his normal life, along with curing his Haphephobia......which is gonna take a lot of therapy sessions and trust from the other.
You looked up from the report, observing the trembling blonde boy in a black hoodie and grey jeans, his suitcase placed right in the corner of your living room. He was sent to you this morning by your hospital and informed he was going to stay with you....until he gets back to his normal life. Felix's head was tilted down, his blonde locks almost covering his face, and his hands were trembling on his lap.
"안녕하세요...N-Nice to....mee-....meet you....mate....", Felix mostly spoke in English, his accent remaining Australian but his voice was shaking terribly.
