You Draw Me In ➳ Myung Jaehyun

7: Calorie Quest is Back

Back home in my room, the familiar glow of the laptop screen illuminates my face. I take a deep breath, staring at the camera in my mask, knowing that what comes next might not be as glamorous as the previous videos.

'Hey, everyone, it's CalorieQuest,' I say, my voice tinged with nervousness. 'I've been away for a while, dealing with some stuff, but I'm back.'

The comments start rolling in, excitement and curiosity. But as I continue, and as people see my new body, the tone of the comments shifts.

Huening_hiphop_kai: "What happened CalorieQuest!? I thought you were skinny now!"

Lia_lyricroom: "This is disappointing. Unfollow."

My heart sinks, but I take another deep breath. 'I know some of you might be disappointed, and I'm disappointed in myself as well. I've faced some challenges, and one of them was gaining back all the weight that I lost. But here's the thing, I'm not giving up.'

The negative comments keep pouring in, but I take a deep breath and decide to continue. 'I'm here to be real with you. Weight loss is a journey of ups and downs. I'm not perfect, and I won't pretend to be. But I need your support, not just for my journey, but for everyone else out there facing similar struggles.'

I put on a brave smile, trying to drown out the negativity. 'So, if you're with me, let's do this.'

As the video ends, I close my eyes for a moment, letting the vulnerability settle. The comment section is a storm of opinions, but amidst the negativity, a few messages of support start to emerge.

'You got this! Calorie Quest!'

'Thank you for being honest! We're here for the journey, not the destination.'

Encouraged by the glimmers of positivity, I make a silent promise to myself. This journey might not be easy, and the road ahead us is uncertain, but I'm determined to face it head-on. I want to feel beautiful again – I want Jaehyun to like me again.

I'm surprised to see that despite having lost followers, I've now even gained more than before. The notification frenzy on my laptop is enough to make it sound like a song. The CalorieQuest community is alive and buzzing, and it's time to bring them to my chaotic world.

'Hey, guys,' I decide to continue before I sleep. 'I've got a little situation, and I need your collective wisdom. You ready?'

The comment section instantly explodes with emojis, memes, and words of encouragement. It's like having a whole army of visual friends ready to tackle life's problems.

'So, there's this guy, right? We'll call him Mr. Mysterious. And, um, I kind of like him.'

The comments scroll at warp speed, and I swear I can hear the collective gasp of my fans. Their energy is infectious, and I dive into madness.

'Alright, Mr. Mysterious is totally cute. He's got this smile that could melt glaciers, and every time he talks, it's like...' I put my hand on my heart.

The emojis continue to flood in – a mix of heart eyes, fire, and a few popcorn containers.

'Now, here's the thing,' I say, leaning in closer to the camera. 'I don't want to face him while I'm in my current state of being, you know, overweight.'

The comments start rolling in, each being creative.

'Catfish him with your slim pics!'

'Drop hints about a secret twin sister who's supermodel thin. Classic soap opera move'

I burst into laughter at the brilliance – or absurdity – of their ideas. 'You guys are certifiably insane, and I love it. Keep 'em coming!'

The comment section turns into a outrageous plans and witty jokes. It's like a digital comedy club.
