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'.

- He knows you struggle with eating quite a lot - He doesn't keep pushing you, he knows you don't like being pushed so he lets you take your time with it - He calls often while he's working to make sure you're eating when he's not home - Hyunjin even cooks for you the night before and freezes the meals so he knows you have food for the next day - If you're having a bad day, he knows immediately and spends the day with you so he can make you feel a little better about eating - He doesn't like seeing you not eat, so he always tries to get you to eat even small snacks - If he makes you a meal, he doesn't expect you to eat all of it, he just wants you to try your best and eat as much as you want until you feel full enough - Sometimes you finish your entire meal, sometimes you only eat a little, but he's okay with either - He's always proud when you've eaten something even if it's little, because he knows you're doing well and passing milestones

- When he finds out you're not eating a lot, he's obviously concerned - He doesn't like to show it a lot because you'd feel guilty if he was upset you weren't eating - "It's okay, don't worry," he smiled, kissing your forehead, "we'll get through it together." - He wasn't going to force you to eat anything, but he'd definitely try to encourage you to eat - Even if they were just small snacks, he was pleased you ate something at least - If you went out for a meal, you'd try to finish the entire plate even if it was hard, you felt embarrassed to only eat a little, especially when Jisung paid for it.. you didn't want him to spend that money for nothing

- He's never mean about it, he's understanding about your situation - He tries to help in understanding and educates himself with the problems you're having with eating - He communicates with you about how important it is to make sure you're eating enough - He feels bad when you watch him eat, he knows you don't want to eat but he still wants to see you eating even a little - He calls and texts constantly, asking what you're having for lunch and asking you to take photos of your food (mainly to prove that you're actually eating something) - Usually if you finish your plate three times a day, he offers to take you out - But, even if you didn't finish your plate, he still takes you out for a treat because he knows how hard you tried

- Felix liked to cook a lot so you were never hungry - He was constantly cooking and handing you food to eat, you were like his guinea pig to test his recipes - He'd noticed you were never really keen to try any of his new recipes - "Hm?" he frowned as you refused the plate he handed you, "is my cooking going bad?" - Felix had started to think you'd suddenly gone off his cooking, or perhaps you were sick - When he finally asked, you admitted to not liking the idea of eating so much - There was no reason, and you didn't know what was triggering it, but eating made you bored, and you were fed up of it - He didn't exactly understand what you were going through, but he tried his best to help you as much as he could - He thought you should start off with eating smaller meals so you can build back up to your original appetite, and it worked after a lot of hard work - He just had to make sure you were eating every meal, he made new food for you to try so you wouldn't be bored eating, too

- Seungmin was always too busy working to even notice you hadn't been eating - It was even worse that he hadn't noticed how much weight you'd lost - When he finally had the time to notice, he felt guilty - "How long has this been going on for?" - When you finally explained to him, he felt even worse because he ignored it completely and wasn't aware of what was going on - Now that he understood what you were going through, he started to focus on you rather than his work - He spent a lot more time at home with you rather than working overtime during nights etc - You were pleased that he was helping you and taking care of you through this rough time - What encouraged you the most was the way his face lit up every time you ate, he was so happy you were doing a little better so you started eating a little more to put a smile on his face
