I burst into the store as dramatically as I could with automatic doors. I spread my arms out wide, announcing my presence. "GUYS!" I yell to Namjoon and Jungkook, who were both working with me today. "I'M FAT!" I cry in an inappropriately loud voice, my distress too great for me to care about manners. Or sanity.

"We know." Jungkook says monotonously, turning back to Namjoon's conversation.

"YAH!" I threaten but don't take any advances, slowly settling in the realization that they didn't really care about my weight gain.

I pull at the tight waist band of my new jeans. I already grew bigger than them.

I sigh.

This whole weight gain thing is getting expensive. Can I just go pantless? Can that be socially acceptable?

"But here's something YOU DONT know!" Namjoon interjects with a playful smile.

Jungkook suddenly gets giddy, bouncing up and down like a baby in a bouncer, arms flailing, and body rockin'. Obviously they had talked about this before and it apparently was very exciting to Jungkook.

"You can actually step on a banana peel WITHOUT slipping!" Namjoon says like he's some kind of world renown scientist. I raise an eyebrow.

"Doubtful" I mutter. I've seen cartoons, I know what happens. I'm well informed in the ways of banana peels.

"IT'S TRUE MOMO!" Kooki chatters "See, watch!!" Like a magician, he pulls a banana peel out of seemingly thin air, slamming it down on the floor. With a huge smile, he non-nonchalantly pretends to walk without knowing it's existence. His foot steps square on the peel but his balance is completely unaffected, he walks on normally. As soon as he clears over the banana he spins back to face me, a proud smirk plastered on his face tilted to the sky, all high and mighty.

I stare at him with uninterested eyes. "Congratulations," I say tonelessly "You can step on a banana peel."

Jungkook's smile disappears, noticing my sarcasm.

"It's COOL Momo! notlikeyouwouldknowwhat'scool, you'rejustastupidlittlegirlwholikesstupidthings. Sorryyou'retoo STUPID tounderstandsomethingas complex and cool asthis!" Jungkook blubbers in disappointment and irritation.

The bell clatters. "What's going on here?" Jin comes up to observe behind me, placing his arm on my shoulder as a greeting. His eyes dart around at our heated expressions "And WHY is there a banana peel on the floor?"

"You can step on a banana peel without sliping." Namjoon explains.

Jin snorts in disgust of these blubbering idiots "Then explain Mario Kart to me!"

He's got a point!

Namjoon sighs, putting a hand to his head. "Jin, that's a game, not real life. You really can walk on a banana peel."

oh yeah,... REAL life.

"Then PROVE it!" Jin huffs.

Namjoon, in his own irritation, stomps over to the peel. his speed is too great and must have thrown off the equation because as soon as he steps on it, his feet goes flying in the air.

Jin chuckles in victory. "ThAt'S a GaMe, NoT rEaL lIfE!" He quietly mocks.

I snort.

Get reck'd.

Wait a minute.

"Okay guys, can we just get back on track? This is really important." I draw their attention back to my growing belly.

"What's important?" Jin asks sweetly

"Banana peels?" Jungkook asks sincerely

"No Jungkook, my weight gain." I shake my head at him.

Sometimes I wonder how he passed third grade.

I sigh " I literally do not have enough money to buy anymore jeans, and I just KEEP GROWING! I'm basically a balloon at this point!"

Jungkook's mouth mimics an o in his realization.

Jin cocks his head to the side, looking me up and down. A confused frown appears on his face.

"Weight gain?" Jin mutters to himself.

I let out an exasperated sigh filled with frustration and sadness. "A lot of people look really good curvy, but I'm just not one of them." Tears prickle my eyes. "I just feel ugly."

"Ugly?" Jin mutters, offended.

I sniffle, my emotions taking the best of me.

It's probably that time of the month, to be honest. I always seem to cry right before I get my period.

Jin sees the tears welling in my eyes and immediately takes hold of my hand, pulling me closer in comfort.

I smile apologetically at him as I sniffle again.

I'm being such an embarrassing mess, gaining weight is not something I should be crying over, good Lord! It's completely NORMAL!

He only pulls me closer, rubbing small circles on my back.

Jungkook's gaze had also softened. He looks at the ground,shocked and afraid to look up at my sniffling state.

He takes a deep breath. "Momo, you didn't even gain that much. But if you wanna get into shape, I know someone who owns a Judo place. He can help you."

Jin tightens his grip on my hand reassuringly. His comfort speaking thousands of words. That he'll support my decision.

I slowly nod my head.

"Who?" I ask curiously.

Jungkook looks up, his eyes dark and serious. His entire body goes stiff as he mutters the God-forsaken name. "Yoongi."

The name alone sends chills over my skin.

I shutter.

"Welcome children." Namjoon waddles in, holding dearly onto his tailbone as if his entire butt would fall off in a moments notice if he didn't hold it in place.

"Today.." He whips out the broken pointer, grimacing as he stretches to point to the board. "I will quickly explain what went wrong in my,..... experiment."

He smiles, pulling a banana from his pocket.

He stops a moment to realize what he just did. "No inappropriate jokes please,..." He quietly mutters.

He takes a deep breath, now pointing to two definitions on the board with his banana.

" The law of momentum conservation can be stated as follows. For a collision occurring between object 1 and object 2 in an isolated system, the total momentum of the two objects before the collision is equal to the total momentum of the two objects after the collision. Newton's third law of acceleration is: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This law is what allows you to lean up against a wall and stay up. The wall, in a sense, "absorbs" your force and exerts it back at you, creating a stable state."

He turns back. "You see, Jungkook stepped straight down onto the peel therefore the force of which was absorbed into peel then the floor and he was fine. But I came at the peel from an angle thus there was nothing to absorb my force and because of the lack of friction, my momentum was transferred to the peel, causing me to fall."

He stops a second. "Wait, do you guys even know what friction is?" He assesses the student's stupidity, assuming they don't. "Ah, whatever. I don't feel like explaining." He waves it off.

"Basically, I was right, and what happened was just a fluke due to small miscalculations on my part."

A student raises their hand.

Namjoon loudly sighs, a fake smile plastered on. "What? what do you want?"

"What happened after you fell?"

Namjoon glares at the child, reminiscing on his sad excuse for friends. "I passed out. NEXT QUESTION!"

He nods to another student's raised hand.

"Are you even qualified to be teaching this class?"

Namjoon smiles sweetly at the child, but his eye's were full of rage.

Namjoon's a nice guy. But when a nice guy is angry, the WORLD QUAKES!

"Are you even qualified to live?" He snarks.

Leaving the four year old to cry, Namjoon angrily waddles out of the classroom like a charging penguin.

Hey guys so I just want to clarify that this chapter in no way is ment to offend anyone or make anyone feel like they shouldn't gain weight or should feel bad about having meat on their bones. I tried to convey that through Momo's thoughts of being conflicted in herself over being upset by her weight gain but I don't know if everyone will understand that.

Please be understanding that for the story, Momo feels negatively about gaining weight but that is not a reflection on how it should be in real life!

Beauty comes from within, not from the size you're in.

Love yourself and love others!
