You and I [BTS V fanfiction]

JIHYO'S P.O.V

-summer vacation; age 18-

I laughed along with my friends who were talking about something I didn't understand but was too afraid to ask them what they were talking about. I have never been on their "good side". They even told me that they were only being nice to me because I was their walking wallet. They would poke me and make fun of my weight, calling me things like pig or calling me disgusting. But that didn't matter because they were the only people who were nice to me and talked to me like I was their friend.

"Can you buy us some water piggy? You can do that right? Or are you too tired to walk all the way there?" Yena asked as the others started giggling at what she said. I smiled and nodded before standing up slowly and walking to the vending machine. As I walked back to my friends, I bumped into someone and dropped all of the water bottles I was holding.

"I am so sorry. Sorry sorry sorry." I bent over as much as I could and tried to pick them up but they kept on rolling away. The person who I bumped into picked them up for me and gave them to me. As I looked up, I saw a boy with the cutest eye smile staring at me.

"Thank you and sorry again." I ran away from the spot where we bumped and walked to Yena.

"Here Yena."

"Thanks."

"Here Eunsuh and Soeun." They took the water bottles and started drinking.

"You can leave now Jihyo. Go to the gym or something. You may need it." I ignored her comments and took my backpack before leaving to ride the bus home. As I got to my stop, I pressed the button and asked the driver to stop the bus.

"Have a nice day Mr. Park!" I walked over to the huge mansion and walked inside to be greeted by the butlers and maids that worked there.

"Welcome back miss." I waved to Nayeon, my personal maid, before walking to my room. I passed the mirror in my room like always but today I stopped in my tracks and looked into it. As I looked into it, I saw a fat girl staring back at me. What did I do to get this kind of body? What have I done wrong in my life? I groaned before plotting down on my bed and stared at the ceiling till it was dinner time. I heard the ringing of the tiny bell that the cook had to inform us it was time to eat so I stood up and walked down the stairs to be greeted by my mom and dad who didn't even notice my presence.

"Good evening mother, father." They paused as I spoke and looked at me before talking about the company again. The house cook came in with our meal and set it up before leaving us to eat. Wow that looks good.

I took a very big proportion of it and ate it quickly before standing up to go back up to my room. As I walked out, my mother called my name.

"Jihyo come here." I came closer to her.

"Lose some weight. If you gain more weight, you're going to look gross and I won't be able to talk about you, let alone be able to say that your my daughter." I held in my tears and nodded a 'yes'.

"Yes mother. Good night." I turned before running upstairs and going under the covers to cry myself to sleep.

"Mommy, play with me!" I grabbed onto mommy's hand.

"I'm sorry sweetie but I need to work." She said as she pulled away her hand from mine. Feeling sad, I went to daddy who was reading the newspaper.

"Daddy, play with me." I looked up to him and waited for a an answer but there was none. Disappointed, I walked to my room full of plushies and fell asleep surrounded by them.

*BEEP BEEP BEEP*

I looked at the clock and saw that it was already 10 am. Oh shoot. I need to go to the park today. I got out of bed and got ready for the day and soon was out the door. As I arrived I sat down on one of the benches and enjoyed the outside weather.

"Mommy look. That lady is really big and I think the bench is going to collapse underneath her!" A little boy pointed at me and whispered loudly to her mother who immediately shushed him up.

"You aren't supposed to say that out loud no matter how fat they are Chan-ah. Okay?" He nodded before walking away. I stood up from the bench and went to go find Yena, Eunsuh, and Soeun. I found them flirting with these guys so I walked up to them and said hi.

"Hey babe, do you know who this is?" The guy next to Yena asked.

"N-no. Why would I hang out with such a pig? Oppa you should know better." The thing she said was the one thing that I could not tolerate.

"Pig? Sure I'm a pig but you shouldn't lie that you don't know me. You guys should be nice to me and not the other way around. Do you know how much I spend each month for you guys?" I finally exploded.

"I never forced you to use your money on us. Gosh."

"Yea I know you didn't force me to but you guys shouldn't have been nice to me at all then. I actually thought you guys were my friends for a while you know? But I guess I chose the wrong people. Its people like you who shouldn't have friends and be outcasts." I stormed off with tears streaming down my face and a new burning passion to do something about this body of mine.

"Hello? This is the Choi family's daughter Jihyo. I am calling to book a personal trainer." I called the fitness center that my father went to. They said that they would send one starting tomorrow. I ran home and started working out by myself to see how much work I need to do. This is the start of hell.

-3 months later-

"AHHHH!" I screamed in frustration as I ran on the treadmill for what seemed like the whole day. In the span of 3 months I lost almost half my weight and found a hobby in exercising. My trainer walked over to me and pressed the stop button.

"Enough for today. You should go down to the spa and get a massage. I'm going home now okay?" She pat my back before taking her stuff and leaving the room. I dragged myself to the spa and asked one of the maids to give me a massage on my legs which were so sore that I could barely walk on them. I have never been outside the house after the Yena incident and instead used that time to lose weight and show them that I was no longer the pig they used to know.

I looked at myself in the mirror and took out my old pants that I used to wear. I put them on and let go of the hem to see it immediately fall to the floor. I called for Nayeon to come in and told her that we needed to go shopping soon since school started soon. I chose a hoodie that I bought before I lost weight to wear after I did. I asked Nayeon for some pants and she gave me these pair of pants that fit almost perfectly.

"Nayeon, do you think I did a good job and lost weight?" She looked at me and smiled.

"Of course Miss. You did a good job." We took the taxi and drove to the nearest mall which was next to my house. Wow! So much has changed since the last time I came. I looked around the place to see many different places. As I scanned the crowd, I had eye contact with one guy who seemed so familiar. His friend came to him and then it hit me. It was that guy who helped me with the water bottles!

I quickly looked away and turned my attention to Nayeon again. I followed her into a shop filled with teens in it and looked for clothes. After what seemed like hours of shopping, we finally left the mall with too many bags. Wow I never knew shopping was that hard.
"You can go rest Nayeon. I think I'm going to sleep since I have school tomorrow. Good night Nayeon."
"Good night Miss." She bowed down before walking away to her room downstairs. Taking all of the things I bought, I hauled them to my room where I took everythung out and put them in my closet, taking out my old clothes. After washing up, I took out one of my hoodies that I wore a long time ago and some leggings and got into the covers before falling asleep.

*BEEP BEEP BEEP*

I groaned as I turned off my alarm and stood up. I heard a knock on the door.
"Come in." My mother came in as I was picking out my clothes for today. My eyes widened at the presence of my mother since she never came into my room.
"Good morning mother." I tried to smile at her.
"I just came to tell you that we have a party today so you better get ready after school." What party?
"What for mother?"
"You're getting married tomorrow."
