Let me help you.

If you let me, I will make you smile again.

Because you are beautiful.

And you are worth it.

A/N: This fic isn't just about eating disorders and self-image. It's about the friends who haven't noticed the broomstick-arms and the portruding collarbones, the haunted looks at your lunch tray, the way everything is wrapped in a lettuce leaf, the silent pleas for help hidden underneath I'm fine, really. It's about the friends who haven't fit all the puzzle pieces together and who don't know that their loved ones are slowly wasting away. And it hits too close to home.

Chapter 1: This is my favorite oneshot now. I started crying when Minseok was ranting about how he's not the best at anything. Minseok is my bias, and I love him, no words can express how much. I love Joonmyun, he's my bias too, but in the end Kim Minseok will never be surpassed. When I saw that picture, I was so shocked. I mean, he can be skinny but to me, that was way too skinny. This fanfiction really touched me- Really! (Plus my OTP feels~) I can't stop the tears. I'm so glad I decided to read this. Sorry it's so long, I just had to get it all out. Minseokie, you're perfect just the way you are- Who you are is you, so really, don't change anything! <3

Chapter 1: I loved this... Minseok and Jongdae are doing better now that WOLF is out and they're promoting in Korea. You can see their personalities much better than before. Xiumin and Jongdar has always stuck with me as the cutest but strongest member. You have to be mentally strong to cope with language barriers, dancing and the social media of today. I like how you portrayed how even the strong fall.

Thanks for this beautiful fic. ^^

Yeah I also noticed how Xiumin lost a lot of weight...he isn't too skinny yet, but I am worried that all the things said about and to him concerning his weight is getting to him..I just hope he won't lose anymore weight than this.

Chapter 1: I agree- I had the same exact thoughts when I saw that picture. His jawbones were like, protruding, as were his collarbones, and unhealthily so- I'm glad someone else sees it ;-;
