"You know Laurel you shouldn't feel alone in this, there's more than two hundred thousand cases per year in the United States alone considering that's where your eating disorder first began."she heard the doctor speak, he and a licensed therapist were giving Laurel options for 'A Weigh Out'. A set of therapy sessions she could sign up for rehabilitation.

"These courses are all in English and are American Operated if that'll make you more comfortable , we believe this is the best step to prevent you from hurting yourself further".

Laurel was weighing her options "yeah but what about dance." she sighed.

"If you can dance and maintain a healthy diet that would be amazing but if not I'd suggest immediate rehabilitation, just think about it." the doctor suggested leaving pamphlets along Laurels bedside exiting the door and allowing Seokjin in.

"Hi jagi."Seokjin spoke caressing her face in his palm, Laurel nudged into his touch.

"They gave me options for rehab but I'm not sure if I want to do it." she sighed.

Seokjin ran his hand along the multiple pamphlets, "Don't you think that would help you get better though?" Seokjin questioned.

"Yes maybe but I want to try to get better on my own first." she spoke.

"And I'll help you. " he nodded.

Later once Laurel was released Seokjin took her back home where she began to pack her bags to stay at their dorms until she thought she could be alone.

Staying with seven men would be a major change but it was way better than Laurel staying by herself. Once at the dorms Seokjin immediately went into the kitchen where Laurel followed.

"Do you want fruit?" Jin questioned as Laurel shrugged slightly. The amount of shakes she had to drink at the hospital seemed enough. Seokjin quickly pulled out a pack of mixed fruit cutting them into pieces and placing them in a bento box for he and Laurel to share.

"Ooh food?" A sleepy Taehyung spoke coming down the stairs and rubbing his eyes with the back of his palm "Hi Noona." he sighed hugging Laurel slightly.

"Not for you, but you can cut it up yourself if you wanted." Jin scolded making the younger pout. Jin was heading towards the kitchen table as he stopped in his tracks. "Laurel let's eat outside." he spoke quickly grabbing a blanket and led her to the back yard.

Seokjin remembered that eating in different places could help a person suffering from EDNOS especially if they weren't comfortable eating publicly. Laying the blanket on the grass Jin sat down and had Laurel sit next to him. She reached her hand out for a strawberry she always loved the way that they tasted.

"Thank you, for everything Jin." she spoke up she really thought she couldn't think him enough for loving her the way that he did. "I really don't deserve you I don't think I deserve anyone." she added.

"You never have to thank me for loving you because you deserve all the love in the world, never forget that."he entangled his hand in hers

"Wanna know how my eating disorder started?" she asked as Seokjin only nodded in response.

"When I was sixteen back in Harlem I travelled to New York City to audition for this ballet intensive and all the girls who auditioned were pretty, white and thin all traits I didn't have—when I checked the callbacks I wasn't on it," Laurel paused.

"So the Dance instructor told me to train harder and that working out would help me in future auditions, so I stopped eating, I would go to class each day on an empty stomach thinking I would lose more weight and it never ended."

"I'm so sorry Laurel-" Seokjin started.

"I don't know I suppose I didn't fit the image they wanted but I've faced discrimination all my life in ballet and all I ever wanted was to be seen— that's all over now, I could care less."she frowned.

"What are you saying?" Jin questioned.

I'm no longer auditioning I told Jimin to teach my part to Eunji instead." she spoke quietly.

"Wait what you love ballet and you've been on about this audition for weeks it's in four days are you serious!?" Jin was infuriated he couldn't let her give up what she loved the most.

"There's no point Jin" she sighed.

"Why not?" he shouted.

"Because someone told my professor about my passing out and she eliminated me from the audition process!" Laurel cried as she felt a pain in her chest.

"Why would someone do that ? do they know how much this means to you ? this is practically sabotage." Jin sighed as he cradled a whimpering Laurel. "Don't worry baby we'll fix this."
