It's been about two days and Jeongin is still persistent about learning to purge. He had asked Han twice now and at this point, he can't deny him any longer. As the last few days had played out, the pair found themselves standing at the top of the stairs. "Please, I can't figure out how you do it. I just can't make myself do it like you can." Jeongin pleaded as he had been doing for three days now. "It's all about persistence...If you can't figure it out on your own, how do you expect me to help?" Han asked, closing the bathroom door. "I don't know, but I do know that you know how to purge correctly, and that's what I want to be able to do." "I know, but it takes time. You've never tried this. It's dangerous." Han said firmly, "If you truly want this, you have to know that this can kill you. It very well might." Han took a breath. "I am well aware that death is possible, even likely, but I don't care! I don't give a damn if it kills me, okay?" Jeongin pleaded. "..." There was a short silence. "How long has it been...? What time did you finish eating?" Han asked. "About fifteen minutes ago." Jeongin checked his phone to make sure. "Okay, you still have time. Are you sure you want to go through with this?" "I'm sure." Han sighed and opened the door to the bathroom. "I'm not going to go easy on you, just so you know." Han said as Jeongin walked in. "I know." 

It had been a few days now and Chan had noticed a change in habit for Jeongin. He was eating less during the day and more during dinner and then, along with Han, go upstairs to what was presumed to be the game room. He wasn't worried though, he knew that neither of them would do anything like that. One night after dinner though, Jeongin didn't go upstairs, neither of them did. In fact, they both headed straight for their own rooms. Chan immediately went to go ask what the change in routine was, but when he made it to his room, he found Jeongin doing a workout. "You know you're gonna make yourself sick if you do that this soon after you eat. You should sit and wait a bit." Chan stood, leaning against the doorway as he spoke. "I'll be alright, but if you insist." Jeongin sat on the bed and Chan walked in, sitting next to him. "You've been working hard lately, you should give yourself a break." Chan said with a soft expression as he looked at Jeongin. It was true. He had been working himself to death inside and outside of the practice rooms. Even before Han had shown him the correct way to purge, he had been starving all day and only eating about half of his dinner. "How else will I get better if I don't constantly work?" Jeongin smiled as if nothing was wrong. "There's a limit. I don't want you to cross it and hurt yourself. I've been there, you can ask Han and Changbin. They were there the night I got so sick from working so hard that I could barely move a muscle." Chan grabbed Jeongin's hand. "I won't overwork myself, alright." Jeongin gripped Chan's hand as he looked pleased. They spoke for a bit longer before Chan left and Jeongin finished his workout.
