Chapter 70

"See you guys at the award show," Jackson exclaimed with a huge smile. We said our goodbyes before getting into our separate cars and parting ways. Got7 went back to their dorm, and we went back to our dorm after a long day of practicing. 

"Go get ready for bed; we have a long day tomorrow," Jin instructed as soon as we returned to the dorm. "What are we doing tomorrow?" I asked while following Jin into his room. He turned back to look at me with a tired look. "At least change out of your practice clothes before you come to my room." He was always a neat freak about his bed and anything that included his belongings. I nodded before walking into my room so I could get changed into my pajamas before walking back into Jin and Yoongi's room. Jin was sprawled out on his bed with his arms open, giving me a small wave over to him so I could get in bed with him. I understood his gesture and climbed into bed with him, enjoying the way his arms wrapped around me, providing a warm, comfortable feeling to course through me. "We're doing fittings for the MAMA and MMA awards tomorrow, and then we have practice, so make sure to bring your homework." I let out a groan at the mere mention of homework and fittings. The hardest part of recovering from not eating was the emotional aspect of it; having to know that I was gaining weight was hard, and putting on my clothes and having it not be baggy was taking a toll on me. "I know it's hard doing homework and practice, but you'll be fine. Yoongi always helps you; he has a huge soft spot for you." I couldn't help but crack a smile at his comment since it was true. "And for the clothes, you're still growing (Y/N); your weight is going to fluctuate as you grow. The size is just a number either way; no matter how small or big your size is, that doesn't define you as a person. What does matter is that you're healthy. It's already hard for you to be healthy because of how you're working, so please eat all your meals and stay the happy, perfect woman I know you are."  His words were encouraging, and although I was still not looking forward to the fittings, I was going to try my best to keep the positive energy. "Can I sleep here tonight?" Jin nodded and tightened his grip around me. "Are you sleeping here tonight, princess?" I heard Yoongi ask while shutting the door behind him and climbing into his bed. I nodded while snuggling up into Jin's chest. I was feeling cuddly and wasn't sure why, but I was just glad Jin was letting me cuddle with him. 

I wasn't aware of when or how I fell asleep, but waking up in Jin's arms was the perfect way to start my morning. It was the calm before the storm, the storm being fittings and a long day of dance practice. "Go get dressed," Jin instructed while unwrapping his arms from around me so he could sit up and stretch. I did what he told me to do and walked back to my room where Jimin and Hobi were hanging out. "Why didn't you sleep here last night?" Jimin asked while looking me up and down as if he suspected something. "I was with Jin and Yoongi, and I just fell asleep over there," I explained while rummaging through my side of the closet, trying to pick out an outfit. It was getting cold in Seoul, so some sweats and a long sleeve would be a better fit, but I needed to spend an entire day doing laundry. "Do you have a shirt or jacket I can borrow?" I asked the boys who were lying on Jimin's bed lazily. "You can have one of my sweatshirts," Jimin replied while nodding over to his side of the closet. "Can I just pick anyone I want?" I asked, not wanting to take one he was possessive of. He nodded in response while leaning onto Hobi, with his eyes threatening to close once again. I grabbed a random plain black jacket and a pair of joggers before I went into the bathroom so I could get dressed and ready for the day. 

"Fittings first, and then after we're done, we're going to practice. No messing around." Namjoon explained while leading us into the company building. We walked into our usual practice room, and we were immediately greeted by our stylists. Nair walked up to me and started holding up different articles of clothing to my body, "Do you think you can dance in this? I need to match you with the other members, but you need to be different as well," she muttered to herself in a frustrated tone. I looked down at the clothes she was holding up to me and shrugged. "I have to try it on before I can give you an answer," I replied while gently moving her hands away from me. "You're going to have to change here," she said while turning to the clothing rack behind her so she could look at the options for the award shows. "That's fine. Just give me what you want me to wear," I replied, trying to lift the energy since it felt like Nari had a dark cloud over her head. She didn't say anything and instead just handed me a skirt, a sparkly tube top, and a black leather jacket. I took off the Jacket I took from Jimin and slipped on the tube top, followed by the skirt and the leather jacket. "The shirt fits fine, but the bra straps need to go," she muttered while turning to her notepad and scribbling down some notes, "Unnie, not to stress you out more but I need some sort of bra on under this," I said in a slightly panicked state, my worst nightmare was to have a wardrobe malfunction like Jin during our debut stage. "A strapless sicky bra should be fine. How does the skirt feel?" She asked while tugging at it to get an idea of where she wanted it to rest on my hips. "I love it. The built-in shorts are perfect." No matter how old I was or how comfortable I felt in my body, safety shorts were always going to be a must. "How do they fit, though? Too loose?" she continued asking while backing up to get a better look at my outfit. "It feels a little loose at the waist," I admitted while bringing my hands up to cinch the skirt to my desired fit. Nari nodded and wrote down a note in her book before walking over to catch the skirt herself. She held the back of the skirt with one hand and walked me over to where the mirrors were. "You look like a doll," Jimin complimented as soon as I was in his line of vision. Nari clipped the back of the skirt to give it the cinched effect before walking back once again to look at me from the mirror's reflection. "Can you dance?" Nari asked while resting her hands on her hips and tilting her head. I shrugged while backing up to attempt to dance, I started lazily dancing to I Need U trying to get a feel of how the outfit felt. "It feels good; just the skirt needs to be a little tighter," I said while turning around and looking at Nari, who seemed the slightest bit relieved. "Perfect, now we just need to figure out the other three outfits," She huffed while leading me back to where her station was. "I think this would look good on her," Namjoon said while pointing out a black strapless dress with white lace trim around the chest. Nari looked up at him with a smile on her face, She nodded in agreement while handing me the dress so I could change into it. I slipped on the dress, and it was safe to say it fit perfectly; there were no alterations needed. The dress was perfectly molded to my body and flowed out at the end to be a flowy dress. "Put these on," Nair instructed while handing me a black pair of heels so I wouldn't be wearing a pair of dirty sneakers with the dress. "What do you think?" Nari asked, turning to Namjoon, who had the biggest smile on his face. "You look gorgeous (N/N), very mature." I smiled back up at him before walking over to the mirror where I got to admire how I looked in the dress. It wasn't danceable, but it sure made me look good. "I can't dance in this unnie," I admitted with a sad look on my face since this dress made me feel the prettiest I had felt in a while. "That is for the red carpet; you're all wearing suits or formal all black outfits," she explained while walking over to me so she could adjust the dress. "How much more stuff do I have to try on?" I asked while walking back over to her station, only to see an entire rack full of clothes that I hadn't tried on. "Just one more dress; the other clothes I can base off of the measurements and notes I got today." I let out a quiet sigh of relief at the fact that there was only one more dress. Nari turned around with a smirk on her face and handed me an off-the-shoulder black dress that had ruffles around the shoulders, back, and chest. I slipped on the dress and looked at Nari for approval. "Hmm, a different pair of heels, an updo, and you're perfect," she said while looking at me up and down and nodding her head. "Get dressed back in your normal clothes, and we're done for today," Nari instructed while cleaning up everything that she made me try on. I put on the jacket and joggers I was wearing previously and walked into the middle of the practice room so I could get started with my stretching. Hobi always told me it was better to get ahead on stretching and warming up rather than just sitting around because then, if I just sat around, I'd lose my motivation to practice. "You're stretching by yourself. I'm so proud," Hobi exclaimed when he noticed me alone in the middle of the practice room. "I got done with Nari early, so I came to get started," I explained to him while sitting on the ground to stretch my legs. "I'm glad I didn't have to repermend you into getting started today. I was thinking tomorrow since we have a free schedule after dance practice. Instead of that picnic, we could do something else." I tilted my head to the side since I was looking forward to the picnic, but I wasn't sure if what he had planned was going to be fun. "Dress how you normally would, but dress warm. Jimin said he didn't want me to get a cold." I nodded, taking in the information he was giving me, but I was still slightly panicked about picking out an outfit.
