Eat. Binge. Smile. Bathroom. Hurl. Smile. Rinse. Repeat.
"Sooyoung, dinner's ready!"
"I'm not hungry, Taeyeonnie, thanks!"
"You, not hungry? Come on Sooyoung, stop being silly!"
"...okay, I'm coming!Smile. Cameras flash. Greet the fans. Turn to the side. Suck in your stomach. Smile. Wave to the fans. Repeat.
"Gorgeous Sooyoung, what's your secret?"
"M-my secret?"
"Of course! The way you stay so thin no matter how much you eat!"
She smiles nervously and waves her hands in front of her. "No secret, its just how I am."
"Ah well you're very lucky! Girls would kill to look like you."
"Thank you..."Practice. Practice. Practice. Turn on your heel. Remember the wink. Hairflip. Move faster. Move smoother. Look smaller. Look thinner. Too heavy. Just skip that meal. Repeat.
"Good job girls, take a five minute break!"
She keeps dancing, moves getting quicker with each run through.
"Sooyoung, manager said we could break. You can stop for now."
She shakes her head and keeps going, mesmerized by her reflection in the mirrors along the wall.
"Well, okay then...just don't push yourself too hard..."
"I won't, Hyo."
The older girl left, leaving the younger girl to the sounds of her heels against the hardwood floor and the growling of her stomach.
Netizens notice. Lie. Eat on camera. Lie. Let them see you. Make it obvious. Smile. Keep smiling..."You look beautiful."
"Thank you."
