Chapter Text
He was the first one to wake up as usual . Park Moondae stared at his reflection on the mirrorwall, frustrated. “I need to speed up the process..” he thought to himself, making up his mind to intensify his diet plan.
It all started with a passing comment by their manager “Ah moondae, you look chubbier than before. I guess you had a lot of fun during break.”
“Oh?” He thought to himself and the realization hit him really hard(harder than it's supposed to ).
‘I really have gained weight .. I need to cut down on snacks and stuff.’
A few days later during their Testar⭐ V-live some loviewer pointed it out on the live chat saying how they're glad he's putting some meat on that skinny body. But what bothered him were the comments from the anti fans .

In the entertainment industry, people's opinions and looks are absolutely important, in some cases far more than skill. Especially for an idol to be successful they have to be perfect inside out. Their body , their face,their behavior,lifestyle, everything has to be in accordance to the society. You have to be Especially careful to not show any weakness, for the people love drama and love to exploit them at any chance they get and people online will chew you out mercilessly.
It wasn't a surprise that Moondae decided to go on a diet immediately, secretly that is. Telling the other members seemed unnecessary as he knew they'll worry too much and would tell him he looks perfect and that he doesn't meet a diet .But Moondae felt a desperate need for it.
What started as deliberately eating smaller portions than usual turned into something very dangerous. He started skipping me occasionally but made sure to do it in such a sneaky manner that other members won't notice.
”moodaemoonade~ you're not eating with us?”. Keunse asked the blonde looking up from his plate .
“Ah I'm not hungry”.
“You barely ate anything during lunch. Is your stomach okay?”
“I'm fine.”Moondae replied with his well known Tibetan fox expression.
“Hyung, come eat with usss! At least a little ? You have to take care of yourself!!” the red hair exclaimed loudly, having other members nod at what he said.
“Moondae you should eat a little at least a little.” Chungwoo said
Having no other option to escape without raising suspicion the blonde defeatedly sat down to eat . He can't make others worry about him anymore. This was his problem. His sanitary pad scandal,the kidnapping, he always had others worried about him when he was actually the oldest mentally.
He quietly ate unaware of the worried gaze of his members on him.
