AN.: Sorry if there are any typos in this story, I only re-read it once, and I'm to lazy to edit anyway. Anyway, enjoy.

" Jongdae-ah, where are you? You're the only one we're waiting for! Come on, let's eat dinner!" Joonmyeon yelled, making sure Jongdae could hear him.

" Coming." Jongdae replied as he stood up from his bed.

He went out of his room, only to see nothing but darkness.

" Hyung, where are you?" Jongdae asked.

Silence.

" Hyung, this isn't funny. Come on, turn on the light!" Jongdae yelled.

Silence.

" Hyung, seriously, turn on the freaking--" Jongdae yelled, before something he saw made him stop.

In front of him, was a blinding white light, and through that light, he saw a silhouette, a woman's silhouette.

He slowly approached the woman, and once he was a meter away from her, he asked:

" Hello, miss. By any chance, do you know where we are?"

The woman chuckled and replied:

" Out of all people, I never expected you to come to me, Kim Jongdae."

" How did you--?" Jongdae asked, but got cut off by the woman's finger on his lips.

" Know your name? I know everyone who comes to me, and supposedly, you should know me too." the woman replied.

Jongdae was silent for a moment, before asking:

" What's your name?"

The woman extended her arm and replied:

" I'm Ana."

" Hey Ana, so by any chance, could you help me get out of here so that I could go eat dinner--" Jongdae requested, but then again, got cut off by Ana.

" No! Don't mention anything about eating, or food or anything related to the two." Ana said.

" What's so wrong about mentioning food?" Jongdae asked.

" Ana hates food. Remember that." she replied.

" Okay." Jongdae replied.

" So, if you want me to help you, do not mention or even touch food. Ana hates it." she said.

" Yes, sir." Jongdae said.

" Okay, let's go." Ana said as she held Jongdae's hand and dragged him somewhere.

That was the last thing Jongdae remembered before waking up in his car. He wasn't with his friends, the other EXO members.

He sighed, as he rested his on the headrest as he said:

" It was just a dream, Dae. Just a dream."

He got his bag and got some crackers from it. He tore open a pack and as he was about to stuff a cracker in his mouth, he heard something.

" Just what are you doing?" someone asked.

Jongdae's eyes froze as he looked at the source of the voice, and it was just as he expected who it would be.

" Ana?" Jongdae asked.

" Hey, Dae." Ana replied.

" Oh my God. What are you doing here?" Jongdae asked.

" You needed some help remember?" Ana asked.

Jongdae chuckled, and replied:

" Ana, I clearly remember that it was just a dream."

" Jongdae, no one comes to me, if it was a dream." Ana said.

" Ana, come on, it was just a--"

" Jongdae, listen to me, you asked for my help, and I am helping you. I am trying my best to help you solve your problem, and what are you doing? Your only making it worse! You can't do that!" Ana explained.

Jongdae sighed stated at the crackers on his hands. He threw it beside him and said:

" Fine, for Ana."

Ana chuckled and said:

" Thanks, Dae. Now, you do remember the rules, right?"

" No eating when Ana is around."

" Very good." Ana said as she patted Jongdae's head.

Jongdae just smiled as the woman patted her head.

" Now, I guess you should just go to sleep when you arrive in your dorm. You must be tired after everything today." Ana said.

" Yeah, I'm really tired, An." Jongdae said.

" Okay, so, I guess you just doze off for the moment. It's a long ride back." Ana said as she closed her eyes.

" Very." Jongdae said as he did the same thing.

Jongdae opened his eyes, finding himself in the van, in the parking area of their dormitory.

Ana was still beside him, actually, more of in front of him already.

" We're here. Come on, let's just go to sleep." Ana said as she held Jongdae's hand and dragged him to the elevator.

The entire ride up, Ana had her arm clutched around Jongdae's. Jongdae, on the other hand, allowed Ana to do her thing, even though it was not right.

They arrived on the floor where their dormitory was, and they both entered the dorm.

Jongdae found Joonmyeon, Kris, Baekhyun and Chanyeol in the living room, watching a drama, while the others were already sleeping.

" Oh, you're here?" Baekhyun asked.

" Hey, Dae." Joonmyeon said as he waved at the younger boy.

Jongdae waved at them back .

" How was the schedule today?" Chanyeol asked.

" Tiring as usual. But, at least I got to spend some time with a girl today." Jongdae replied.

The four boys widened their eyes as they looked at Jongdae.

" A girl?" Kris asked.

" You've got to be kidding me!" Baekhyun added.

" What's her name?" Joonmyeon asked.

Jongdae sighed and replied:

" Ana, her name is Ana."

" Ooh, she must be hot." Chanyeol said.

Jongdae stared at Ana, and inspected her body.

" You could say that." Jongdae replied.

The four boys couldn't help but chuckle. Afterwards, Kris asked:

" Have you eaten already? We left some food for you on the table."

" Actually, I--" Jongdae said, before Ana interrupted him.

" What's rule number one?" Ana asked, staring at him with laser-like intensity.

" No food." Jongdae said to himself before saying:

" Yeah, hyung. I already ate. Anyway, I'm tired and I guess I should go to bed now."

" Okay, good night." the four other boys said, as they continued watching the drama on the TV.

Jongdae slowly entered his room so that he wouldn't wake Jongin up. He took off his shirt and looked  at himself on the mirror.

Ana, on the other hand, said:

" You need to lose that. Ana is not amused."

" What do you mean?" Jongdae asked.

" You're too fat. You should lose some weight." Ana replied.

" Excuse me, I am not fat." Jongdae said.

" Oh yeah? Step on the scale." Ana said.

" Try me." Jongdae said as he confidently went to the bathroom to step on the scale.

He stepped on the scale and waited for it to record his weight.

" 62 kilograms." Ana said.

Jongdae widened his eyes.

" What?"

" Sixty- two kilograms. Jongdae, I am not kidding. You are Sixty- two kilograms." Ana replied.

Jongdae stepped off the scale in shock.

" Oh My Goodness. Am I that fat?" He asked.

" Yeah, you are. That's why, you have to lose some weight." Ana replied.

Jongdae, still shocked over his current weight, nodded his head and said:

" Okay. I will. I will lose weight."
 

The next morning, Jongdae ate nothing, but a banana for breakfast. For lunch, he ate three spoonfuls of rice and 1/4 strip of chicken. And just as he did the night before, he skipped dinner.

To Ana, it seemed like her job was slowly put to action, but to Jongdae's friends, it was something they should be worried about.

Jongdae's diet continued for weeks, and eventually, for a month. Having a fruit for breakfast, and having a few spoonfuls of rice or soup for lunch, and nothing at all for dinner.

Every time Jongdae looked at himself in the mirror, he saw himself, not getting any thinner. Ana saw the same thing in him as well. But, to the other boys, they saw how Jongdae slowly lost his weight. At first, thinking that he was just trying to shed a few pounds, they did not do anything. But, as they saw that he was losing so much weight, they were afraid that someday, he might just reduce into a little toothpick.

One morning, Jongdae went out of his room, wearing a tank top, and a pair of shorts, now loose from all the weight he lost.

Kyungsoo, Luhan and Minseok were the first ones to wake up, and upon seeing Jongdae and how his clothes seemed so baggy on him, they immediately stood up and brought him to the table.

" Guys, what are you doing?" Jongdae asked, feeling a little confused.

" That's the question we have to ask you, Dae. What are you doing?" Luhan asked.

" I'm not doing anything!" Jongdae replied.

" What do you mean ' I'm not doing anything?' Dae, you're losing so much weight! You're not eating anymore, and you're worrying all of us!" Minseok said.

" I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me. And anyway, I wasn't hungry." Jongdae replied.

" You weren't hungry for a month? How brilliant." Kyungsoo commented.

" Dae, stop doing this to yourself. Don't give in. Don't starve yourself." Luhan said.

" Yeah, Dae. Please, do it for yourself. If you can't do it for yourself, do it for us. For the maknaes. For the fans." Minseok added.

Jongdae sighed as he nodded his head.

" I'll try."

" You better do. I don't want anything to happen to you." Kyungsoo said as he hugged Jongdae. Minseok and Luhan enveloping their arms around them as well.

But, that never changed anything. Another two weeks passed, two weeks of starving and losing another crapload of weight. Another two weeks for Jongdae to diet, and lose more weight. And what annoyed him the most was that, Ana never left him.

As much as he wanted to eat, Ana did not let him. He couldn't do what he wanted because of Ana. Ana ruined his life, ruining to the extent of making him feel like he just killed himself.

The other members were already starting to notice the dramatic weight loss he underwent. Sehun claims that he could see Jongdae's hipbones, collarbones and ribs already. Jongin also couldn't help but mention that Jongdae's legs were starting to look like bamboo, and that his wrist could be crushed any moment now. Zitao also commented that he looked so vulnerable, so fragile.

Aware of the situation, the eleven other boys organized a secret meeting, to know what to do with Jongdae.

" It's anorexia, guys. " Minseok said.

" Yeah, I know it's anorexia, but, why would he do that?" Luhan added.

" Hyung was already perfect." Sehun mentioned.

" Yeah, I don't get what's to be insecure with his body. He was in good shape, he was normal." Yixing said.

" Yeah, he has like the best body, next to me, of course." Jongin added, to bring a little humor to the group.

" Guys, we have to do something. I don't want something to happen to him." Chanyeol said.

" Yeah, Dae's my best friend, I couldn't let anything happen to him." Baekhyun added.

" You know, this all happened after he started meeting this girl." Kris said.

Minseok widened his eyes and asked:

" What girl?"

" Oh, some girl named Ana. He met her like almost two months ago. And ever since after that, he hasn't eaten anything."

Minseok sighed as he muttered:

 " So, that girl is back, huh."

" What did you say, hyung?" Kyungsoo asked.

" Nothing, I just remembered something." Minseok replied.

" Guys, seriously, what should we do?" Joonmyeon asked.

" Sehun, Jongin and I could take him out to dinner." Zitao suggested.

" And Minseok, Kyungsoo and I could help him eat in the dorm." Luhan added.

" Maybe Kris, Joonmyeon and I could talk this through with him. " Yixing suggested as well.

" Baekhyun and I will go with him. Maybe convince him to go to the doctor." Chanyeol said.

Joonmyeon smiled at his dongsaengs ideas and said:

" Okay, let's do this."
 

Minseok couldn't help but remember the girl who has been bugging Jongdae. Ana, the girl who forced Jongdae to stop eating, the one who forced him as well.

" Ana. From all people you chose to bug, why Jongdae? Why him?" Minseok asked himself as he remembered what Ana has done to him.

Minseok remembered, that over a year ago, he met Ana. He gave in to her desires, and in return, he underwent the same thing Jongdae is going through now. If it weren't for Jongdae, he couldn't have gotten over her. And now that Jongdae met Ana, he has to do the same thing. He has to return the favor to him.
 

The next day, Baekhyun and Chanyeol brought Jongdae to the doctor. Although Jongdae never liked the idea of going to the doctor, since hated hospitals, he couldn't just say no to them.

They entered the doctor's office and sat down on the waiting bench.

" Guys, can we just get out of here? I really don't like this place." Jongdae said.

" Dae, please just get in the doctor's office, so that he could help you." Chanyeol requested.

" Guys, I told you, I'm fine." Jongdae tried to explain to his two best friends.

" Jongdae, you are not fine. You're losing too much weight, and you're looking so fragile. Dae, any moment now, you could just fall. You know, you're already worrying us." Baekhyun calmly explained to his friend.

" I know I'm already worrying you, but I really think I have to do this. Ana told me I needed to." Jongdae said.

" Ana? That girl you've been seeing?" Chanyeol asked.

Jongdae nodded his head. He looked around him, and there she saw him, sitting on the other bench.

" Yes, Jongdae. I am here." Ana said as she waved at him.

Jongdae just shuddered as he rested his head on the headrest.

" She follows me all the time. I have to give in to what she wants." Jongdae said.

"You know, you should just stop-" Baekhyun said, but got cut off by the nurse.

" Kim Jongdae, please enter the doctor's room."

" Okay, let's go." Baekhyun said as he held Jongdae's hand, while Chanyeol held the other, as they entered the doctor's room.

The doctor's room was a place Jongdae dreaded the most. He never liked the scent of alcohol, or medicine or even the hospital itself.

" Hello, Jongdae, I'm Dr. Kim Youngmin." the doctor said.

" Hello, doctor." Jongdae said as he bowed, which made Baekhyun and Chanyeol do the same thing.

" So, I guess we should just start by asking you some questions." the doctor said.

Jongdae nodded his head.

The doctor cleared his throat and asked:

" So, how many kilograms were you before you started dieting?"

" Sixty-two." Jongdae replied.

" And how many kilograms are you now?" the doctor asked.

" I haven't checked yet, doctor." Jongdae replied.

The doctor took his glasses off, stood up and said:

" Step on the scale."

Jongdae took off his shoes and jacket and put them near Chanyeol and Baekhyun. Afterwards, he stepped on the scale.

" Say, how many weeks has it been since you started dieting?"  the doctor asked.

" It's been six weeks." Jongdae replied.

The doctor nodded his head as he told Jongdae to step off the scale.

" Take a seat." the doctor said.

Jongdae obediently took a seat.

" Jongdae, as you said, you were sixty-two kilograms. Or one hundred thirty-six pounds."

Jongdae nodded his head.

" And in six weeks, you did shed a lot of weight, and this isn't healthy."

Baekhyun and Chanyeol, as curious men, asked the doctor:

" How many kilograms is he now?"

" Forty-five kilograms. Or ninety-nine pounds."

" Oh My God." Baekhyun said to himself as he buried his face in his palms.

" Jongdae, I think you know, and everyone in this room knows that you have a clear case of anorexia nervosa." the doctor said.

Jongdae nodded his head as he said:

"It's all her fault. It was Ana all along."

" Ana's the girl he's been seeing, doctor." Chanyeol explained.

The doctor chuckled as he said:

" Ana is not a person, young man."

" What?" Baekhyun and Chanyeol asked.

" Ana, is a figment of Jongdae's imagination. She is the girl who's been telling him, or any other person suffering the same thing he's suffering to stop eating. She's the one telling him to lose all that weight. Ana, is anorexia herself." the doctor explained.

After explaining who Ana was to the two other boys, the doctor said:

" Take your shirt off, I'll see how bad your anorexia has gotten."

Jongdae obediently took his loose shirt off and showed the doctor how skinny he was. Chanyeol and Baekhyun on the other hand, were too scared to even look at Jongdae.

" Hmm. Yes, you really did lose a lot of weight, Jongdae. I can see your collarbones, your ribs, and I can even feel your hipbones." the doctor said as he did an inspection.

" Really?" Jongdae asked.

" Yes, your wrists seem like they could be crushed and your bones could fall off any moment now. It seems like you could fall if we push you. You really did lose a lot of weight." the doctor said.

Baekhyun and Chanyeol, who has been covering their eyes, decided to open them and check their friend's condition.

" Oh My Goodness." Chanyeol said as he saw how skinny he was.

Baekhyun couldn't help but cry as he saw his friend's condition.

" Dae, please eat. I can't see you like this anymore." Baekhyun cried as he wiped his tears off.

" You heard them, Kim Jongdae. There is only one way for you to solve your problem, and get rid of Ana. You have to eat." the doctor instructed.

Jongdae nodded his head as he looked at his surroundings. Spotting Ana on the other side of the room, he said:

" I'll try."

" Just as you know, it'll be hard to let go of me, Jongdae." Ana said as she continued staring at him.
 

After Baekhyun, Chanyeol and Jongdae came from the doctor, the two other boys immediately told Kris, Yixing and Joonmyeon what they got from the doctor. And upon learning the information, they immediately went to Jongdae's room, and talked to him.

" Jongdae, we need to talk to you." Joonmyeon said as he and the two other boys barged in the room.

" Okay, sure." Jongdae said as he sat upright, his back resting on the wall.

Yixing closed the door and sat beside Kris. Seated comfortably, he asked:

" Jongdae, what happened?"

" I don't know, ge." Jongdae replied.

" Jongdae, why are you doing this to yourself? Wait, no. Why is Ana doing this to you?" Kris asked.

Jongdae looked around him, and there she was, listening to their conversation.

" I don't know. I think it's because I thought I was fat. She just helped me, hyung. I didn't know that it would put so much effect on me." Jongdae replied.

" Jongdae, you heard what the doctor said, Ana, is just a figment of your imagination. You have to let her go." Joonmyeon said as he scooted closer to the youngest boy in the room.

" I can't. She won't let me." Jongdae replied, tears falling from his eyes.

" She will, Dae. If you let her go, if you forget about her, and think about us, the people here who will help you." Yixing calmly said.

Jongdae lifted his head, and across him, he saw Ana.

" I'll still be here, Dae." she said.

" She won't leave me alone." Jongdae said as he kept his head down.

" Hey, look at me." Kris said as he took the boy's chin and made him look straight on his eyes.

" She's there." Jongdae said, still shutting his eyes.

" Then don't look at her. Look at me. Focus on me. Focus on my voice." Kris said.

It took Jongdae a few moments to look up and look straight at Kris.

" There, you did it." Yixing encouragingly said.

" Now, just focus on Kris-hyung and ignore everything Ana tells you." Joonmyeon added.

" Just as you know, Jongdae will never ignore me. He will always give in." Ana said from her side of the room.

" I won't." Jongdae said.

" I won't what?" Kris asked.

" I won't give in to Ana. I won't give in to her." Jongdae replied.

Kris, Yixing and Joonmyeon smiled and hugged the youngest boy.

" That's it. You can fight." Yixing said.

" Ana will go away." Joonmyeon added.

" She will." Jongdae encouragingly said to himself.

" That's it." Kris said as he patted the young boy.

Enraged, Ana yelled:

" Watch me, Kim Jongdae! You will still give in to me."
 

The next morning, Jongdae woke up to the smell of garlic rice. Yes, in six weeks, it was the first time he woke up to the smell of food.

" Smells, good." Jongdae said.

He was about to stand up, when he saw Ana blocking the door.

" You are not eating." Ana said.

" Yes, I am." Jongdae said.

" You know, don't even regret it and blame me when you become fatter. When you become a loser." Ana said to him.

Jongdae was silenced for a moment, before he yelled:

" Ana, quit being a and leave me alone!"

" I'm never leaving you alone, Jongdae." Ana evilly replied.

" Ana! Leave me alone!" Jongdae yelled as he dropped to the floor and covered his eyes.

" I will be here, Jongdae." Ana said repeatedly, until it made Jongdae cover his ears.

" Please, just leave me alone." Jongdae cried, with tears streaming down his face.

After a split second, someone opened the door.

" Jongdae? Are you okay?" someone asked.

Jongdae looked up and focused on the person.

" Minseok-hyung." Jongdae said as he hurriedly got to his feet and hugged the older boy.

" Shh. It's okay. Stop crying." Minseok said as he continued patting his back.

" Jongdae? " Luhan and Kyungsoo asked as they entered the room.

" Help me. Please let her leave me alone." Jongdae pleaded.

" Who?" Luhan asked.

" Ana." Jongdae replied.

" Who's Ana?" Kyungsoo asked.

" Anorexia. Ana is anorexia herself. Ana, go away. Leave him alone." Minseok said as he looked at Ana, straight in the eye.

Ana stared at Minseok and said:

" Ooh, Kim Minseok. You can still see me, meaning you're still seeking for me. How exciting."

" Go away, Ana." Minseok said.

" Okay, fine. I just don't Jongdae to end up like you, Minseok." Ana said before she left the room.

" Who were you talking to?" Kyungsoo asked.

" I was talking to Ana." Minseok replied.

" Okay, weirdo." Luhan commented.

" You can see her too?" Jongdae asked.

Minseok nodded his head as he asked:

" Luhan, Kyungsoo can you leave me alone with Jongdae for a while?"

" Sure, hyung." the two boys replied as they left the room and closed the door.

Once Minseok and Jongdae were alone, the younger boy asked:

" How? How can you see her?"

Minseok sighed as he replied:

" So, remember last year? When I had anorexia? I kept starving myself. I wanted to be alone."

" Yeah. Continue." Jongdae said.

" So, Ana was also the girl who 'helped' me.  She was the girl who told me about how fat I was. So, I also gave in to what she wanted. She wanted me to be thin. And I also wanted to be thin. So, I gave in." Minseok continued.

" Hyung, I knew you had anorexia, but, I never knew about Ana." Jongdae said.

" It's because Ana exists in the mind of those infected by her sickness. And, as a person infected by her sickness, I would try my best to keep her in my mind. So Jongdae, I'm sort of happy that your spreading the word of Ana. Ana's a sickness, she's toxic, and I'm sure people wouldn't want that in them." Minseok replied.

" Hyung, why can you see Ana?" Jongdae asked.

Minseok sighed as he replied:

" You know, even though I got over her, I crave for her. It seems like I want her back in my life. I still seek for her, I give in to her desires."

" But, you've got this far. You can't give in." Jongdae said.

" Yeah, I know. That's why, I'm not giving in anymore. As much as I want to, I will not give in. Look Dae, to be able to get over Ana, you need someone who's met her before. You need me, Jongdae, and do not worry, because I'll be there to support you all throughout. I'll make sure that you'll gain all that weight in no time." Minseok replied as he patted the younger boy's head.

" Thank you, hyung. Thank you so much." Jongdae said as he hugged the older boy.

" Don't mention it, come on, let's eat," Minseok said as he dragged Jongdae out of the room, and to the kitchen, where Kyungsoo and Luhan were making breakfast.
 

That night, Sehun, Jongin and Zitao brought Jongdae to a nearby restaurant and decided to treat him for dinner. Although Kyungsoo already told them that it took him over two hours to finish three spoons of rice, the three youngest boys promised that they would be patient, as long as they would see their hyung eat.

" So, where do you wanna eat?" Zitao asked as he led the group.

" I wanna eat Japanese food." Sehun replied.

" If the maknae wants Japanese, then I'm up for that too." Jongin added.

" What about you, hyung?" Zitao asked Jongdae.

" Anything's fine for me, Taozi." Jonhdae replied as he patted the Chinese maknae's head.

" Okay, then I guess it's unanimous. Japanese food, here we go." Sehun said as he dragged Jongin to the nearest Japanese restaurant.

Once the four boys entered the restaurant, they sat on the nearest table and ordered what they wanted.

" I want some Ebi tempura." Jongin said.

" Chicken Teriyaki for me." Sehun added.

" I'll have a large bowl of ramen." Zitao said as he scanned through the menu.

The three boys looked at Jongdae, who was still looking at things to order. Then, they looked at each other, quite satisfied that he was already starting to crave for food.

" I guess I'll have--" Jongdae said, but got cut off as he saw a hand on the menu. A woman's hand to be exact.

Jongdae looked at the hand's owner,as she said:

" You know you aren't doing this."

Jongdae sighed as he said:

" No, I'll be eating today."

The three boys smiled at him.

" I'll have a California Maki." Jongdae said as he out the menu down.

Disappointed, Ana left Jongdae alone.

They waited for their orders, while waiting, Zitao decided to spark up a conversation.

" Hyung, how are you feeling?"

" Good. I'm actually feeling a little better now." Jongdae replied.

Jongin grabbed the oldest boy's wrist and said:

" Your wrist is quite small, though."

" Yeah, but, it'll get big in no time." Jongdae replied.

" No to mention your bony hips and collar." Jongin added.

" And ribs." Zitao said.

It was silent for a moment, before Sehun asked:

" Hyung, why?"

" Why what?"

" Why did you have to lose weight? Hyung, did you feel insecure or anything? Hyung, you were amazing, you were perfect." Sehun asked as he held his second-to-the-best ( first being Luhan) hyung's hand.

" Sehun-ah, I don't really know, honestly." Jongdae replied.

" Hyung, why happened? You were normal, you weren't fat or anything." Jongin asked.

" I really don't know, Jongin-ah. It just got in to me." Jongdae replied.

Zitao sighed and said:

" Hyung, please don't do it again."

Jongdae smiled as he held the three boys and replied:

" I won't. I won't starve myself anymore. Don't worry about me."

" Please don't, hyung. I don't want to see my favorite hyung like this anymore." Jongin said as he stood up from his chair and hugged Jongdae.

" Yeah, hyung. Please take care of yourself." Sehun added, doing the same thing.

" I will. I will continue my fight, guys." Jongdae said as he patted the other boys' back, as Zitao embraced them all.

Afterwards, their orders arrived and they all started eating. The three boys were happy, because they saw their hyung eating after six weeks of eating nothing at all.
After dinner, they went home.

To the three other boys, it was a joyous occasion seeing Jongdae eat, but to Jongdae, it was something that pained him. It pained his gut.
 

The four boys arrived from dinner and after that, the maknaes immediately reported what Jongdae has eaten and how long it took him to eat. Zitao reported that Jongdae finished his Maki in an hour, and he even asked a little ramen, teriyaki and tempura from them. Kris was happy to hear the news, but, Jongdae took it another way.

After arriving home, Jongdae went straight to the bathroom and vomited everything he ate. While vomiting, he heard the woman he has been dreading to hear and see.

" See, I told you, eating would make you feel worse. It'd make you feel guilty." Ana said.

" I just forgot what it felt like to eat. I'm fine, and I'm full, so beat it, Ana. Leave me alone." Jongdae said.

" Come on, Jongdae, don't be like that." another woman said.

Unfamiliar to the woman's voice, Jongdae looked around, and saw another woman behind Ana.

" Who are you?" Jongdae asked her.

" I'm Mia." she replied.

" Bulimia." Jongdae said to himself before looking back at them.

" See, you wouldn't listen to me, so, I had to bring her to make you listen to me." Ana said.

Jongdae shuddered and asked:

" Why can't you just leave me alone?"

" You asked for me, Dae. You can't jut simply send me away." Ana replied.

" Just go away. Ana, go away. You too Mia! I don't want to see you anymore." Jongdae said as he sat on the floor and covered his eyes.

" Jongdae, just admit it. You can't live without me." Ana said.

" I can live without you. I can. If you leave me alone, I can." Jongdae said as he started crying again.

" Look, you're probably just gonna die, like a lot of people. You're gonna die, and I'll be the last person you're gonna see." Ana said.

" Leave me alone!" Jongdae said as he ran out of the bathroom, only to bump into someone.

" Dae, you okay?" Minseok asked.

" Hyung, help me, please." Jongdae said as he hugged Minseok.

" You saw Mia, didn't you?" Minseok asked.

" Yeah, I did." Jongdae replied.

" Dae, Mia only appears once. If you get rid of Ana, Mia won't be there to bug you too." Minseok explained.

" Hyung, just please help me get through this." Jongdae pleaded.

Minseok just hugged Jongdae, and comforted him until he fell asleep.
 

The next day, with the overflowing support the other members have been giving Jongdae, he was able to eat and forget about Ana. From three spoonfuls of rice, he gradually made it four, then five until he increased it every single meal. He's been taking in a lot of sugar, in order for him not to faint because of low blood pressure.

Part of Jongdae's diet was a soft drink. Either Coke or Pepsi, anything just to put sugar in his body.

Another two weeks has passed, and Jongdae has been eating well. He never vomited anything he ate or he never felt like losing his appetite. Although he complained about still seeing Ana, he still tried his best to ignore her, because he knew that his friends would be there to support him all throughout.

Each day passed like a normal day, and Jongdae started gaining weight. Although they never knew how much he gained, it doesn't matter, as long as he gained weight, that's it.

It has been two weeks since Jongdae started eating normally again, when one day, they received a note from their CEO.

" We're going to Tokyo two weeks from now, for the SMTown concert. Have your regular check-up, get shots if you need them, and make sure you are fit. I don't want anyone fainting during this concert." Kris said as he read the note from their CEO.

" What exactly does he mean by fit?" Joonmyeon asked.

" I don't really know, why don't we just go to doctor's and have our check-up." Kris suggested as he led everyone to the doctor's.

When they went to the doctor's office, the doctor quickly explained everything to them.

" So, to be able to perform in a concert, I should check your breathing, heartbeat, pulses, eyesight, and weight, of course." the doctor explained.

Upon hearing the word "weight", all the twelve boys widened their eyes.

" What is the minimum weight one must have to perform, doctor?" Joonmyeon asked.

" About fifty-five kilograms, depending on his height." the doctor replied.

" So, if we were to weigh someone like Jongdae, how much should he weigh?" Yixing asked.

" Same. About fifty-five kilograms." the doctor replied.

Baekhyun squeezed his best friend's hand and said:

" Don't worry, you'll be heavier than that."

Jongdae nodded his head as he looked all around him; Ana was still in the room with him. Jongdae just ignored her, as she talked to him.

" Just as you know, you'll never reach fifty-five kilograms, Kim Jongdae." Ana said as she stared at him.

" He will be fifty-five kilograms. Just see." Minseok replied to Ana, which the others saw as an encouraging message to Jongdae.

" Okay, let's get started." the doctor said as he started checking the twelve boys.

He checked all the other boys first, since Jongdae requested that he'd be checked last.

In all honesty, Jongdae was scared. Scared whether he'd still see Ana, or if he'd get over her once and for all, or if he'd still fall for her, until she'd eventually convince him to dig his own grave.

Jongdae really wanted his old weight back, although he felt awfully guilty. He just needed a few more kilograms, that's it, or else, his whole career would be over.

" Kim Jongdae, please sit on the chair." the doctor instructed.

" You can do it, hyung." Jongin said as he patted his back.

Jongdae sat on the chair as the doctor checked on him.

" Heart rate good, breathing, eyesight and pulse all good." the doctor commented.

" That's good news." Chanyeol said as he let out a relieved sigh.

" Now, please step on the scale." the doctor ordered.

Jongdae nodded his head as he took off his shoes and his jacket.

" Please be over fifty-five, please be over that." Sehun and Zitao said as they crossed their fingers.

" He'll be over fifty-five. I'm sure of that." Luhan and Kyungsoo replied, to encourage the two maknaes, and Jongdae himself.

Jongdae stepped on the scale and closed his eyes.

" Please be over fifty-five." Jongdae repeatedly muttered under his breath.

" Okay. Step out Jongdae." the doctor said.

Jongdae stepped out of the scale, put his shoes and jacket on and sat beside Kris.

" So, how many kilograms is Jongdae, doctor?" Kris asked.

" Well, you'll be shocked." the doctor replied.

Yixing widened his eyes as he asked:

" Is it below fifty-five?"

The doctor took off his glasses and  pushed his gray hair back, and replied:

" It's fifty-six."

" What?" Jongdae asked.

" Yes, you are fifty-six kilograms, Jongdae. You are qualified to join your concert." the doctor replied with a smile.

The eleven other boys cheered, like there wasn't tomorrow. They were all happy that Jongdae was able to reach his desired weight, his healthy weight.

" You did it. You did it." Minseok said as he approached Jongdae and gave him a big hug.

" Yes, I did. And I won't stop until I reach my previous weight." Jongdae replied.

" That's it." Chanyeol said as he war append his arms around Minseok and Jongdae. Kris and Zitao followed them until they all had a group hug.

" And what about Ana?" Kris asked.

" Screw Ana, hope she burns in hell." Jongdae replied, making everyone laugh.

Jongdae looked around, and upon spotting Ana, he said:

" I hope you disappear, and never bother me again, Ana. I hope you burn in hell."

" NO!!!!!!!" DAMN YOU KIM JONGDAE!" Ana yelled before she vanished.
