A/N: I don't know a lot about eating disorders, i've done some research but I still don't fully understand certain issues and problems people have with an eating disorder - therefore, I won't be referring to any specific disorder, neither will I be referring to specific symptoms people may get. I don't want my readers to assume I understand the severity of such disorders, this request will simply just be 'struggling to eat'.

- Recently, Chan's noticed that you don't like eating as much - You used to love eating, Chan always cooked for you and you even asked for seconds most of the time - You'd started gaining a little weight so you were wary about eating so much - Chan finally had the courage to ask why you weren't eating as much - "You usually finish your meals," he frowned, looking across the table at you, "is something wrong?" - You eventually come clean to him, but you feel slightly embarrassed - "Have you noticed I gained some weight?" you lowered your head, "I don't want to keep eating a lot, I feel like I'm going to keep gaining weight and I won't be able to stop myself eating." - He smiled and held your hand, "why would I notice if you gained weight? Even if you did, I wouldn't comment on it. If you choose to gain weight or lose it, it's got nothing to do with me, but if you want advice or help with it then you know i'm here for you." - You struggled to eat because you were worried about getting bigger, not because you thought it was a bad thing, but you were worried it would change Chan's opinions on you - He didn't want to tell you not to lose weight or to just let yourself get bigger, he knew you wouldn't feel comfortable with eating if you were adding on weight so he thought he'd help you with exercising - "You can keep eating as much as you want, but you can control your weight and maintain it. We'll get you a membership at the gym so you can exercise. If you want to lose weight, I'll help you, only if you want to. But then we can focus on maintaining your weight, so you can continue eating when you want and you won't have to worry about gaining so much weight every time." - He didn't want to change you, he just knew you'd be happier if you went back to your original weight

- Minho wasn't coming home to eat often, he'd get back late at night and cook for himself early in the morning - You started losing motivation to even cook for yourself so you started struggling to complete meals - You began eating less and less everyday, you thought it was pointless just cooking for yourself instead of cooking for Minho as well - He stayed home for dinner one night and cooked for you, but you sat with your plate and didn't bother eating a single bite - "Why aren't you eating?" he frowned at you, looking up from his food, "are you sick?" - You hadn't eaten a proper meal in weeks so your stomach had started to shrink, you never felt hungry, you'd gotten to used to not having meals that you'd look at your plate and sigh thinking how you'd be able to eat it all - "I skipped out on a few meals while you were gone, it's not a big deal," you shrugged - He dropped his utensil, looking up at you, "how many meals?" - "Not a lot, really..." that was a lie - He started to worry immediately - To help you with eating, he decided to take nights off from work to come and eat dinner with you - He wanted you to build your appetite back up slowly, so he'd cook you smaller meals until you could work your way back up - Eventually, you were able to eat properly again, but Minho continued to come home to eat with you so you could have the motivation to continue eating well

- He often took you out for meals to make sure you were eating enough - He checked up on you when he wasn't there to eat with you just so he knew you didn't skip out on meals - You had a problem with eating before, so he was a little concerned you'd go back to not eating properly again - He started to notice that you were lying to him, there were no wrappers or empty packets in the bins when he came home; you'd said you ordered food but there was no sign of empty bags from your takeouts - "Have you lied to me about eating?" he confronted you immediately, and you didn't bother coming up with more lies - You came clean and explained that you were only eating when he ate with you - It wasn't that you didn't want to eat, you were just too tired - You became exhausted most of the time so making food was tiring for yo, it was even more tiring trying to eat it, you just got bored easily - Even though he head to work, he came home during his breaks to make you some food and watch you eat before he had to go back - He was really proud of you when you started to eat more, he noticed you gaining your weight back and treated you whenever you reached another milestone - "Good job," he kissed your head, "i'm so proud of you."
