「 mark was flustered. spending the day with donghyuck and being the person to calm the boy's nerves down made him feel like he had a purpose. 」

「 let's just say it was an understatement to say the pair had become very close in just a few hours. 」

「 donghyuck made sure to leave out his problematic emotions. his anger, his sadness, and the sources of where those feelings came from. 」

「 and he did that because he knew mark would think he's in too much trouble to be around with. 」

「 donghyuck was currently sitting on his bedroom floor, staring at the ceiling, eating a vanilla flavored cookie. yet the truth was, he had shoved twenty of those same cookies in his mouth a few moments earlier. 」

「 it was obvious donghyuck's bingeing was getting worse and worse. but the poor boy just couldn't stop himself. 」

「 he remembered he first started his condition out when there wasn't any food in his house because his father was complaining about his weight and how much he had to lose. 」

「 yet the boy wasn't close to being overweight, if anything underweight. how terrible donghyuck felt about himself, caused his internal, forever extending pain. 」

「 he just wanted to be skinny. because skinny means you're loved, right? 」

「 and now, he's got a potentially life threatening disorder combined with painful migraines. sometimes donghyuck wonders how he got stuck in all this in the first place. 」

「 why he stressed himself out so much over every little thing. why his family turned out this way. why he decided to make himself throw up months ago for the first time, which was where he was going now, for what seemed like the millionth time already. 」

「 maybe he should've told mark. maybe mark could help him through it all. maybe, just maybe, mark would accept him for what he is now. 」

「 a soul dead inside, simply living in a cold world where he feels unwanted. 」
