Something's up.
Warning: in this chapter it talks a tiny bit about eating disorders, but not too much.
Everyone was crowding around Xiumin and once Xiumin woke up, everything was blurry around him but as he blinked everything became clear.
"Xiumin, are you alright?" Luhan asks, looking at him, concerned.
Xiumin then tried getting up but a rush of pain then went to his head and he held it as he sat up.
"Hyung, you should rest" Lay says, looking at him, upset.
Xiumin shook his head meaning no and says "its nice that you're concerned Lay, but I'm actually fine."
"No you're not!" Luhan says, looking at Xiumin in a glare, trying to be intimidating but he was very worried for him.
Xiumin looked at Luhan surprised and then looked down, saying "I am...stop saying I'm not..."
"What, do you want me to tell everyone, because I will! This is getting out of hand Xiumin, you even fainted!" Luhan exclaims.
"Tell us what?" Tao asks, looking back from Luhan to Xiumin, confused.
Xiumin bit his bottom lip as he says "don't..."
Luhan kept giving Xiumin the same intimidating glare and Xiumin couldn't help but look at Luhan with pleading eyes, meaning for him not to tell the other members.
"Tell us, now we want to know" Chen says, looking at Luhan.
Luhan looked at Xiumin and then looked back at the four other members as he says "well..."
With Luhan saying that Xiumin couldn't bare to hear Luhan telling the other members and rushed out of the room.
As everyone saw Xiumin rushing out of the room, Luhan was shocked the most as he says to himself "I wasn't actually going to tell them..."
"You weren't?!" Kris asks and Luhan then awkwardly chuckled.
"Yeah...sorry guys, its something personal about Xiumin...I just thought if I intimidated him a bit, he'd stop what he's doing." Luhan explains.
"What's he doing?" Lay asks, curiously.
"Nothing...don't worry about it" Luhan says, then leaving the practice room himself.
Meanwhile with Xiumin he locked himself into the dorm's bathroom and staid in there, on the verge of tears.
"They know now...they all know..." Xiumin thought to himself, starting to get even more upset just thinking about it.
Xiumin couldn't get off the toilet and leave the washroom because he was scared of how much his members were going to judge him.
"You think about yourself like that, you're not even wrong."
"Now I know why you're working so hard...you should try working harder if you want to lose all that."
"You're already ugly enough as it is. Leave it be."
Xiumin kept picturing his fellow EXOM members saying things like that and it made him even more upset, letting a single tear fall down his cheek.
With all the pressure Xiumin was putting on himself, he was feeling a little nauseas as he got off the toilet and he made himself throw up into it.
Xiumin then coughed a couple times, wiping the drool that was now dripping off his chin and struggled to get up.
As Xiumin then flushed the toilet, someone then knocks on the door and asks "Xiumin, are you in there?"
Xiumin wiped his mouth once again before standing up and opening the locked door to see Luhan.
As Xiumin saw Luhan, he quickly shut the door on Luhan's face again and locked it.
"Come on Xiumin, I didn't actually tell them!" Luhan says, scratching on the door from the other side.
Xiumin was getting teary again as he says "sure you didn't..."
"I really didn't!" Luhan exclaims, trying to get Xiumin to believe him.
"I-If you're telling the truth, you shouldn't have lied to me! You say you love me yet you treat me like this?!" Xiumin asks, now starting to let tears fall.
Luhan was speechless with the way Xiumin had put it and coughs a couple times, trying to stall some time to get his thoughts in order and says "I-I do like you Xiumin!"
"Yeah right" Xiumin says, then walking out if the bathroom, pushing passed Luhan and walking down the hall to his own bedroom.
Luhan then followed right after and they were now alone in the room together.
"Who's making you think this way that you have to go off and do this to yourself, answer me Xiumin!" Luhan exclaims in a whisper yell so the other members couldn't hear what they were fighting about.
"No one..I'm thinking about this by myself, leave me alone Luhan!" Xiumin exclaims and Luhan was even more surprised.
Luhan was surprised that Xiumin was pushing him away and huffed as he says "fine...do what you want...this time I'm not going to stop you or be concerned like last time!" Luhan says in anger, then storming out of the room.
As Luhan stormed out of the room, Xiumin wasn't very surprised and looked down, upset.
"Its okay Xiumin....you're doing this for yourself..." Xiumin thought to himself, looking down at his stomach.
The next day came and Xiumin was now starting to ease into getting through the day without eating much. The most he would eat was a banana, a couple of crackers and had a coffee but that was about it.
Xiumin was in the practice room, working hard and sweating like crazy. Even the EXOK members had caught on and now thought something was wrong. Since Xiumin never had meals with them, and would be out running all the time to make himself sweat.
Around lunch time, the group had free time and decided to all hang out around the dorm and watch T.V.
"Where's Xiumin hyung?" Baekhyun asks, looking around the room where all the members were sitting in and everyone shrugged their shoulders to Baekhyun's question.
"He's always out, what's he always doing out so late?" Kai asks, curious as well, asking the EXOM members but they didn't know either...that is except for Luhan.
"We don't know either..." Chen answers, looking down into his lap.
"Come on guys, let's just watch T.V" Luhan says, turning the volume up on the T.V. Luhan and Xiumin were still in their little 'fight' but Luhan wasn't planning on apologizing any time soon and was going to stick to his word and keep out of Xiumin's way.
"I think something's wrong with him, he's been looking more pale lately" Chanyeol says.
"Isn't that a good thing?" Kai scoffs and Kyungsoo chuckled a bit.
"No, I mean in a sickly way~" Chanyeol says in a whiny tone, figuring Kai should have known what he meant.
"Guys, just watch the T.V" Luhan says in a louder voice, not wanting to talk about it.
"What, what's wrong with you. Weren't you the closest to Xiumin, did you two get into a fight?" Kyungsoo asks.
Luhan staid quiet and Kris then says "they probably did."
"So what if we did, he should take care of himself, I'm not going to stop him anymore." Luhan says in an annoyed tone.
"Stop him from what?" Tao asks, curiously.
"Nothing" Luhan says as he annoyingly got up and left the room, leaving the other members to watch T.V without him.
"He knows what's wrong...he's just not telling us." Tao says, telling the EXOK members.
"I want to know as well, this isn't fair!" Baekhyun says in a whiny tone.
Right then and there, Xiumin then entered the dorm drenched in sweat but he was too tired to say hello to any of his fellow members so he just walked right past them.
Everyone then looked at each other a little confused, now knowing something was definitely up.

Hey guys and thank you for being so patient for an update! My laptop broke and I can't write fan fiction on it now, and I hate writing fan fiction on my phone so I have no where to write it. At the moment I'm writing it on my phone but I hate it a lot. I'm just updating because I feel so bad. Anyway, thank you for reading!
