Issues with reading direct messages

Hi, I'm actually developping my bot with discordJS. I'm trying to make an easy function for testing something : - the user sends a command ( test ) - the bot asks the user ( in for example bots channels ) to send 1 or 2 in DMS. - Depending on the answer ( 1,2) it will send a message in the channel (bots) - if it's another thing, it will DM directely the user ( asking to change its choice ) The problem is that the bot can reads the message : "Message Sent by arimak1924 in 1 ( Where 1 is the msg.channel.type ). But the bot doesn't use my DM as it should. I'll send some parts of my code that could be usefull if anyone knows how to do.

discord JS 14.14.1 - Node 21.3.0 My test function :

export async function handleTest3Command(message) {
    const originChannel = message.channel;
    message.channel.send("Send 1 or 2 in DM.");

    const messageListener = (msg) => {
        if (msg.author.bot) return;
        console.log(`Message sent by ${msg.author.tag} in ${msg.channel.type}`);

        if (msg.channel.type === '1' && msg.author.id === message.author.id) {
            if (msg.content === '1') {
                originChannel.send("Answer is 1 ");
                message.client.removeListener('messageCreate', messageListener);
            } else if (msg.content === '2') {
                originChannel.send("Answer is 2");
                message.client.removeListener('messageCreate', messageListener);
            } else {
                msg.reply("Please send '1' or '2'.");
            }
        }
    };

    message.client.on('messageCreate', messageListener);
}

export async function handleTest3Command(message) {
    const originChannel = message.channel;
    message.channel.send("Send 1 or 2 in DM.");

    const messageListener = (msg) => {
        if (msg.author.bot) return;
        console.log(`Message sent by ${msg.author.tag} in ${msg.channel.type}`);

        if (msg.channel.type === '1' && msg.author.id === message.author.id) {
            if (msg.content === '1') {
                originChannel.send("Answer is 1 ");
                message.client.removeListener('messageCreate', messageListener);
            } else if (msg.content === '2') {
                originChannel.send("Answer is 2");
                message.client.removeListener('messageCreate', messageListener);
            } else {
                msg.reply("Please send '1' or '2'.");
            }
        }
    };

    message.client.on('messageCreate', messageListener);
}

A part of my bot.js ( Intents, DM verification as I tried ) :

const { Client, GatewayIntentBits } = DiscordJS;
const client = new DiscordJS.Client({
    intents: [
        GatewayIntentBits.Guilds,
        GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages,
        GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent,
        GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessageReactions,
        GatewayIntentBits.DirectMessages
    ],
    partials: [
        'CHANNEL',
        'MESSAGE'
      ]

----

client.on('messageCreate', async message  => {

    if (message.channel.type === '1') {

        if (message.content === '1' || message.content === '2') {
            console.log("salut")
            handleTest3Command(message);
        } else {
            message.reply("Please send '1' or '2'.");
        }
        return;
    }
});
...
}

const { Client, GatewayIntentBits } = DiscordJS;
const client = new DiscordJS.Client({
    intents: [
        GatewayIntentBits.Guilds,
        GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages,
        GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent,
        GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessageReactions,
        GatewayIntentBits.DirectMessages
    ],
    partials: [
        'CHANNEL',
        'MESSAGE'
      ]

----

client.on('messageCreate', async message  => {

    if (message.channel.type === '1') {

        if (message.content === '1' || message.content === '2') {
            console.log("salut")
            handleTest3Command(message);
        } else {
            message.reply("Please send '1' or '2'.");
        }
        return;
    }
});
...
}

Technically when I send a DM to the bot, it can read it but it stops here. I already tried with message.channel.type === 1 and DM but it's still stuck
