These comments glared at his face as he was looking through twitter, at first he was confused but now he sees this.

He didn't want to disappoint atiny so he smiled painfully.
He placed his phone down and walked to the mirror looking all over his body. He thought he was just gaining muscle from training out to destroy his pain from being dumped so he thought nothing of the extra weight.

However, now as he looks at his face he sees everything. Right before his eyes his body doubled in size and he just bit his lip before stripping his shirt and seeing the damage.

He grabbed at his stomach and pulled seeing more skin than there is in the mirror. He has always had this issue but never so serious and it only got worse.

He saw his thighs sagging and gulped raising his hands, seeing them chubby. He bit his lip and scrunched his face. He didn't like what he was seeing.

Quickly he turned away from the mirror and headed back to bed leaving twitter and going onto vlive as it was his turn to do so.

He started off the live as normal but when he started reading the comments he froze for a sec before hiding it with a smile.

'has he put on weight?'

'omg his thighs are huge'

'can he turn of the camera I'm revolted at him, I can see all his blubber?'

As he continued his live more comments flooded in both good and bad. However he noticed people asking for other members more than him so he got up and headed out his room, scurrying past any reflective objects. He was scared.

He first arrived to seonghwas room, making sure to knock and enter when allowed. Once he was called in he plastered a very obvious fake smile and greeted his older member.

Comments flooded in disregarding Yeosangs presence and focused on seonghwa.

Only one person seemed to notice his presence and he smiled a descent smile before moving all focus onto his hyung.

After that he left to find yunho and mingi knowing they'd be together so they could join his live as they were the next requested.

The situation went the same until it got to jongho, everything was awkward and so Yeosang just waved and handed the camera to him before leaving the room heading back to his room.

He sighed as he arrived and collapsed on his bed before bursting into tears, after an hour of non stop tears he looked into the mirror once again seeing his face swollen with tears and heat and grabbed his phone before searching Instagram seeing posts about his live, the majority were horrible but some were good. He came across one that made him happier.

######: we barely got to see Yeosang in that live, all you people kept asking for other members, you never do this to the others so why to Yeosang he doesn't deserve this disrespect.

Sighing he shut off his phone before heading to the bathroom to shower before falling asleep, he knew he should eat but the glaring image of himself in the mirror overpowered his senses so he went to bed hungry.

A week later and he had not touched an ounce of food since he saw the messages and he lost weight but to him it was nothing. Nothing changed, he still saw the same thing. He still saw the stretchy flabby skin. He still saw the chubby cheeks and the sagging thighs. So he dropped everything only drinking water.

When asked he just said he had already eaten or wasn't hungry and they believed him.

Today he was weighing himself before he went into the physical exam in three days. So he stripped completely gagging at his body before stepping on the scales. He waited a minute before the scale showed his results.
49kg he hated that number.

'I can do better, I know I can' he thought to himself and stepped of the scale. He shrank to the floor staring at his reflection morphing and sobbed.

He was terrified, he didn't want this feeling anymore. He wanted to be back to normal, he tried but couldn't and fell victim to the gate of comments and accusations. He's lost all hope.

Three days passed and you could almost see his ribs, he did a lot of dancing to loose any weight and barely slept, but today was the big day, the big reveal and he was nervous. He didn't care what might happen but he wanted to see if he had gotten to a weight he was comfortable with. He begged internally to have a good result.

Soon enough they were heading to their practice room for practice for the others to burn of the big breakfast they had before being weighed.

The dance was intense but it distracted him from his image, he could look in the mirror and not be disgusted, he could rather focus on getting the moves right and being in sync with the others.

After an hour everyone was allowed to have a break before their health check and so all the members who were exhausted layed along the couch either on their phones or sleeping (*cough* san *cough*)

Meanwhile, Yeosang was doing a slow run through of the moves again trying to burn of a little more before the reveal.

Ten minutes later the managers arrived with a curtain and weighing scales as well as a doctor and other things needed for the health check.

The first one up was seonghwwa he entered the curtain, stripping and getting on the scale as the doctor noted down his results. The man nodded before asking him to get dressed and move to the height indicator and noted his height.

"seonghwa well done your really healthy, a little more work and you'll get more muscle on your body, that'll come easily by dance or working out." the doctor said and seonghwa nodded before smiling and waiting around for the others.

Next was hongjoong, he was healthy as well.
Third was yunho, he was a little overweight so the doctor said to eat more vegetables and lay of the sweets.

Next was jongho, he was cleared as well.
San, complimented for putting on weight, now he's at a healthy weight which made the male happy.

Wooyoung was told he was a little overweight as well and was told to go on a diet that isn't too strict. The doctor gave him a booklet on what he should and shouldn't eat, he was happy because he thought it was worse.

Mingi was next he was cleared but told to have a healthy diet and work out more so his back could be stronger.

Finally it was Yeosangs turn so he stripped and gulped, he stepped on the scale and saw the numbers a minute later. The doctor wasn't happy.

Since three days ago he had dropped another 3kg (is this possible?), to Yeosang it wasn't enough but to the doctor he was under weight. The doctors tongue was tutted and he asked Yeosang to get dressed before heading to the height and got his height checked he had grown by half an inch since the last check up which was decent as growing slows rapidly as they approach older ages.

Once it was done everyone was reviewed on what was happening, and they were upset.

They didn't know their brother by all but blood was suffering, the doctor wasn't supposed to share this info but he wanted Yeosang to get better. To make sure he returns to a good weight.

So when the boys returned to the dorms, they confronted the male. Who broke under pressure and burst into tears, he told them all about how he felt then he showed them the comments about his weight and that being the reason jongsang had broken up when in reality it was a totally different thing.

They corralled him into a massive group hug with the Teddy bears on the outside and the hyungs on the inside. They stayed there for a good amount of time before breaking and heading to the living room.

"well since today's been hectic how about we order from Chinese. It'll be easier for yeosang to eat, he can have a curry either one and the rest can order whichever you want as well." seonghwa said and hongjoong growled.

"fine but I'm not paying damage control if what they get is expensive" hongjoong said to seonghwa who pouted but nodded.

They placed their orders and started a movie to pass the time. Food arrived and everyone dug in, Yeosang surprisingly finished the whole thing making everyone smile, they didn't push him to eat anything else as they finished and continued the movie.

Once it ended almost half of the group was asleep.
Yeosang had fallen asleep wrapped in the arms of san who was also asleep, and finally wooyoung was asleep cuddled with seonghwa and hongjoong.

Another movie finished before every one moved to their rooms with a little trouble. Mingi and yunho had to pry san off of Yeosang before taking them to their rooms before collecting wooyoung and jongho, who had fallen asleep during the second movie.

Once everyone was in their rooms Yungi hugged and kissed before heading to their separate rooms as well. Seonghwa was busy cleaning and hongjoong was on his laptop working away it wasn't until a few hours that they headed to their shared room.

Once everyone was asleep the chaos that ensued prior was forgotten.

Days went by and the group finally got Yeosang to a healthy weight but could do nothing for his mental stability as he refused to get a psychiatrist.
So they did what they can to help Yeosang in that department by smothering the male with hugs, compliments and love.

Any mean comments were ultimately deleted by the company as soon as they were posted and fans slowly started to shift from haters to lovers and appreciated what they had before they caused a bigger issue and guilt.

So as the days, weeks and months passed the boys provided some amazing work and in return received love and hope from their fans.

The events of the past not forgotten but left where it is, in the past.
Any issues further were sorted instantly and healthily.

Their future is bright and their world is only growing. Nothing can make them crumble into dust because their names will be legends, they will never be forgotten.
