As the sunlight seeped into the room through the curtains, they fell on a young, raven haired boy, who was currently looking at himself on a long mirror placed on the opposing side.

"I look so. . . Ugly. . . And fat." The raven haired boy sighed as he thought that maybe he looked fat like those sheriffs in cartoons.

It wasn't like he was saying that on purpose ─ he just couldn't help it.

He simply didn't like the way he looked ─ how he wasn't as muscular as Jay, or as beautiful as Jungwon.

He was so. . . different from his bandmates, unlike them he looked so much more. . . feminine.

"Jaeyun, you seriously need to burn some fat. . . Maybe if I was a bit more skinnier and more muscular. . ."

Jake kept babbling to him, not noticing the blonde haired, older male leaning on the door frame, quietly watching Jake tear himself apart.

After waiting and watching him silently, he finally decided to call out to the younger.

"Love, what're you doing?" He questioned the younger as he snaked his arms around the raven haired boys waist.

"Oh─ oh! Babe. . ."

The youngers face turned a light pink─ish shade and he nervously fiddled with his hoodie strings, as he was caught slandering himself to his lover.

"Why? Why babe?" He asked me the younger boy, "Why do you hate the way you look? Hmm?" His tone gentle and concerned.

Heeseung always knew that Jake often struggled with his body image, especially after finding out that him ─ out of all the members ─ was the least biased.

And all Jake said was that it made sense.

"I just─ I don't like it. . . How I look."
He replied to the older, his back facing the blonde haired boy.

"But you're literally perfect, love." The older told him.

"Do you see how slim your waist is? It's not even there when you look at it from certain angles."

The raven haired boy smiled at the elders compliment, he even had a slight blush to his face.

"Now let's go cuddle and eat ice cream, love." He told the younger and carried him out to the couch where they watched some series together, all cuddled up together in each others embrace.

"I love you. . ." The younger muttered before he slowly fell asleep in the blondes arms.

"I love you too, sleepyhead." He then proceeded to place a gentle, little kiss on Jake's forehead.
