to my: guardian angel. || Yeonbin

chapter 1.5 - yeonjun's past.

please note that this chapter contains sensitive topics such as sexual assault.

read with precaution.

"did you get my favorite rice cakes, mom?"

"no."

"what- why? we agreed to you buying it for me every sundays."

"why, you ask? look at you! you've been gaining too much weight! i'm starting to get goosebumps just by looking at you!"

I dramatically gasped at her.

"not true! for a person with a slow metabolism, i'm actually pretty skinny!" i showed her my stomach, which she looked in disgust.

"you call that skinny?! this has to change, jjunie. i've hired a coach for you. he'll help you on how to build your strength! and you better do what he tells you to, it was expensive!"

i grunted.

i mean, it's not like i was that fat.. right?

but alright, anything for my mom.

is what i had thought to myself.

but i wished i had tried to convince her to cancel it.

perhaps then, it wouldn't have happened.

and i wouldn't have tried to end my life.

"hey! you must be choi yeonjun?"

a tall guy offered me a handshake, which i reluctantly accepted out of kindness.

"yeah, the one and only."

"nice to meet you! i'm jinsung, and i'll be your workout coach for a month. during this time we will learn how to eat the proper foods, change your lifestyle, and create a consistent routine! are you up for it?"

hah, stupid guy. he really convinced me with his charismatic smile.

it's no wonder he had such a big ego.

"sure, i guess. to be honest, don't tell my mom this, but.. i ate hotpot before getting here.. i couldn't contain it, i have got such a big appetite."

then, out of nowhere, he laughed. and laughed. and continued with the laughing.

i stared at him, awkwardly chuckling, before he stopped.

"sorry, i didn't mean to do that. no worries! i'm not trying to restrict or force you into what you need to eat, but we should learn on how to eat meals in a moderate portion and in a correct timing."
