"Soobin! Oi dipshit! Wake up!" Soobin's older brother shook Soobin while he was sleeping soundly like a log.

"Ugh... No! Dylan, turn the sun off and let me sleep." Soobin grogged and complained while roaming around on the bed. It was currently the first day back at school after the Christmas holiday, his last year of high school, Soobin was fed up and couldn't wait to go to university. He hopes it will be as good as all the movies make it out to be, a time for no parents and no siblings.

Soobin lives in a big family, and when he say big family he means BIG family. He has seven siblings, that's right...seven. He loves his family obviously, but sometimes they can be a little annoying and obnoxious. But ever since the eldest twin daughters (Grace and Natalie) moved out, it's been a little less chaotic. That also meant Soobin finally got his own room.

"Stop dreaming about boys all the time, come down and have breakfast!" Dylan remarked back. I regret coming out to my family.

"Just because I'm gay doesn't mean I'm always dreaming about boys, and why do you still live here? Aren't you in university?" Soobin snapped back, Dylan was only two years older than Soobin meaning he was in university. However, since the university was close to home he still lived with his family, which Soobin always teased about when he had the chance.

"Hey! You're so annoying! I'm going downstairs. I hope you're late!" Dylan shouted at his younger brother with agitation.

"Oi! Dylan and Soobin stop fighting! Come downstairs right now!" Their mum screamed from the bottom floor.
"Sorry mum!" They both replied back with a tiny bit of fear. Then they finally both went downstairs together.

When they got downstairs the smell of fresh toast, eggs and bacon flew through their bodies, making Soobin automatically smile. Their plates were already set for them. The atmosphere around them was loud and chaotic with so many humans screaming and wailing around them.

But Soobin didn't want to eat much, one of the negatives of having an eating disorder was the fact that he felt like eating would make his body worse than he already thought it was. Soobin always felt insecure about his body, like it wasn't good enough. But over the years, his family and friends have supported him and his illness. His mother never forces him to eat too much but encourages him to eat every single meal, even if it's the tiniest amount.

But most of the time, when Soobin doesn't feel like eating and he feels uncomfortable about his body then he just won't eat for the whole day or longer. There's been many occasions, his mind was so against eating that when he did try to eat, he threw up only minutes later.

Soobin was used to this, waking up with a headache from all his siblings, and barely eating anything in the morning, afternoon and evening. But he's learnt to get used to it. It was just life, he had to accept his fate.

"Is everyone excited for school today?" Soobin's father said from behind his newspaper. All the little kids of the family replied with 'yes!' but the other half (Soobin, Dylan and Zack) just rolled their eyes. Who in their right mind would be excited for school?

"I can't wait to meet my friends again!" Danny exclaimed excitedly. Danny was only six years old, he was always smiling and always happy.

"But I'm scared mummy! What if I don't make any friends!" And then there was also Max, always crying and always sad. She was an anxious five year old and it was her first year of school ever.
