★ "I'm so disgusting." You stared in distaste as you stood in front of the mirror in your underwear, expertly eyeing all the places where there seems to be a bit too much of you.
★ When you threw on some loose sweatpants and your favourite baggy shirt, the disgust faded slightly. Sure the clothes are comfortable, but you'd lost count the amount of times you'd longed for some of the prettier looking clothing in thrift shops or online. Those window shopping experiences usually ended either with "I'd never pull it off." or "It definitely won't be in my size."
★ Yoosung noticed your unhappiness a while ago but was unable to pinpoint the cause due to you evading the subject whenever he asked. It was frustrating, he just wanted you to lean on him when you obviously were feeling down.
★ So to try and cheer you up he surprised you with a present one day - matching hoodies. The material was the same violet as his eyes. And while it made you endlessly happy to have such a cheesy gesture made, your insecurities had already fired up. Clothes anxiety.
★ Please let it fit. Please let it fit. Please let it fit.
★ It said a size that you know is too optimistic, but desperate to prove your body wrong you pulled it over your head. The tightness was already too much and you could feel equal measures of disappointment and disgust well up within you.
★ "It's a bit... tight..." You managed to choke out, holding back tears. You hope Yoosung won't notice.
★ He does.
★ "MC? What's wrong? Does it hurt?" He worriedly reached out to check whether the material was pulling too tight against your chest and neck. You instinctively swatted his hand away, lip wobbling.
★ "You know... Yoosung." You said. "Somehow I don't think this will suit me after all."
★ Understandings dawned on his face and before you knew it he'd wrapped you in a hug, unable to contain himself. It was the embrace you knew and loved. The tears you'd been holding back burst forth.
★ "I'm so fat Yoosung!" You sobbed into his chest. "I'm not beautiful at all! Just looking at clothes makes me want to cry because... because I know nothing will ever look good on me..."
★ He listened to you patiently as you sobbed and shared the anxiety you had always carried around with you, his hand stroking through your hair a constant presence.
★ "You know Jagiya." Yoosung murmured softly when you'd quietened to erratic sniffles into his chest. "The first time I saw you, I thought you were the most beautiful person I'd ever seen. Really."
★ He's just saying that. You told yourself. He seemed to guess what you were thinking and kissed the top of your head.
★ "You were there for me, supporting me and guiding me when no one else was. I fell in love with a beautiful person. I went with Seven that day so I could protect a beautiful person. And the reason I'm never going to leave you or let you drag yourself down is because I believe from the bottom of my heart that you are a beautiful person."
★ He squeezed you tightly. "I love all of you MC - your heart and your body. It makes me sad to see you be so hard on yourself."
★ A whimper escaped you but you said nothing.
★ "Did you know Jagi - I really love when I can hug you like this." That got your attention.
★ "You're so soft and warm and nice!" He laughed lightly while you flushed. Yoosung tenderly placed a hand on your cheek and raised your face to look at him.
★ "Don't ever feel like you aren't good enough MC." He said, his amethyst eyes filled with adoration. "I love you just the way you are."
★ He held you in silence for a few more minutes while you collected yourself, his hand continuing to stroke your head. Eventually you pulled away and pulled off the hoodie that had started it all, after wiping stray tears from your eyes.
★ "So... I guess I need to get the next size up?" You said, with a weak smile.
★ His eyes lit up and his previous enthusiasm returned. "Yeah! You're gonna look so cute Jagiya! We're gonna look so cool!"
