As the work went by to make sure all safety belts were properly buckled in kookie noticed that his Jimmie was a tad bit nervous. "you ok? jk asked to hold on to the handle with one hand and jimin's hand with the other. " I'm ok, I'm actually very exci- " the roller Coaster whipped off starting off fast and slowing down as it went on. The two screamed, Jimin letting go of jk's hand to hold the handle, he wanted to feel more grounded. Jungkoook barely noticed he was having the time of his life And to think that this wasn't even the fastest ride made him even more excited. The ride was short but enjoyable for the two. Jimin had quite a bit of fun on that ride though he was a little scared. The next ride was the carousel. It seemed like it would be fun, but it was kinda harsh on jimin's tummy after the first time around. It didn't help that the horse moved up and down as the ride turned. Jimin didn't look too good to jungkook after that. jk made Jimin sit down on a bench until Jimin's head stopped spinning. Jimin was surprised that the ride out of all rides made him feel bad. It was after the two more roller coasters before the decision to go on the biggest and fastest coaster jk saw earlier. Jimin felt a little sick going from ride to ride but it wasn't anything he couldn't handle himself and he was having fun with jungkook. kookie and Jimin stood in line and looked at the roller coaster that was so tall that both of their heads were practically facing the sky. Jimin held on to Jungkooks arm, feeling nervous again. jk just misinterpreted it as just Jimin wanting affection. jk pushed Jimin's hair out of the way and gave him a peck on the forehead. like many of the other rides, the was short. The two sat directly in the middle, neither of them was sure if the very front or the very back was the best seat so they chose the middle. They both clicked their seat belts and pulled at them to make sure it was tight. just as instructed. This time they were given a warning in when the Roller coaster would start.

The ride started off slow, very slow. Slower than the very first smaller roller coaster they got on. Jungkook was excited non the less. They saw why it start off slow when a steep elevation was in front of them. The two held on tightly to the bar in front of them. Jimin's stomach dropped when the ride accelerated. The coaster went up a hill, then another leading into the first loop then the next, and another loop. Jimin started off yelling but suddenly stop when he felt a twang of a familiar feeling of nausea in his tummy. Jungkook hadn't noticed the change, they were moving so fast that the most he could see around the loops were bright lights and colors. All the greasy foods hit the pit of his stomach like a bus. He felt like he was going to puke. The ride's speed and the motion of going upside down serval times were too much for his stomach. A sick burst passed his lips. His head hurt from the pressure and his stomach was rolling with the ride. Jimin forced his head down as much as he could. not wanting his sick to land on anyone. he was already covered in it though. Jungkook noticed and heard Jimin throwing up but there was nothing he could do he couldn't even give the older comforting words he wouldn't be able to hear with the wind in their ears. The roller coaster when over another hill and another set of loops. Jimin's head was spinning so hard he thought he might faint. that was before another surge of vomit came flying out of his mouth hitting his pants and shoes. He tried turning his head to escape the nauseating smell but it only cause another round of vomiting. hitting his shoes and the floor. jungkook tried his best to avoid the growing puddle below them but it was no use. Jimin felt awful in more ways than one. His stomach managed to stop but he felt dangerously close to throwing up again. It wasn't until the roller coaster made it all the way across the tracks that it finally stopped.

to jungkook's surprise, Jimin didn't even want to move when the ride stopped. "Come on chim chim let's get going. " wait-' Jimin says weakly. " feel sick" Jimin hiccuped. jk moved the arm he had on Jimin thinking he was about to puke again. He was right but this time Jimin quickly unclicked his seat belt and hopped off wanting to get away from the awful smell. He covered his mouth as vomit dripped down his hand and soaked his clothes. jk followed behind. Jimin couldn't find a trash can so he threw up on the first patch of grass he could find. He was wobbly on his feet jk kept him upright. Jimin threw up another round, and his stomach swirled. His head spun making it difficult to stand but junk look was still there holding him by his armpits and whispering he was gonna be ok into his ear. Jimin feels embarrassed. He did his best to collect his stomach. Jimin whimpered to jk" bathroom?" he asked as a question but meant it as a statement. " yeah let's go hyung. Jungkook moved from the puddle and bent down so that Jimin could ride his back. At first, Jimin was scared of ruining jk's clothes with his sticky clothes but jk insisted so Jimin hopped on. He rested his head nudged against jungkook's neck and shoulder. Junkook walked steadily to the bathroom. Jungkook's shifting feet brought back Jimin's motion sickness. Once they arrived outside the bathroom Jimin slowly climbed off jk's back. feeling tired, weak, and achy from throwing up so hard. Jimin wanted to go to the bathroom to clean himself up but his stomach had other plans. He walked slowly to the stall. He could feel he was about to throw up again. jungkook was behind him rubbing his back and following along. "I'm so you feel so sick Jimin," jungkook says.

"It's o- " a painful dry heavy push through his esophagus. Jimin was unable to finish his sentence to vomiting soon after. Jungkook cringed when he saw how far jimin's body was forcing him to go. He didn't throw up much but due to his nausea, his stomach made him gag and retch several times. When his stomach finally stopped he held on to it. it felt sore and empty. There was a sickly taste on his tongue. He laid into jungkook who held him with his forearms and rubbed his shoulders with his hands. It takes him a long time to get up from the floor, even the time jungkook thought about asking him if he was ready to get up Jimin would give a sick gag in his hands hover over the toilet, and lay back into jk. That happened three times before jimin's tummy finally settled enough to move. Jimin was slow but jungkook was patient. making sure not to rush and to make sure he was ok. The two cleaned up in front of the bench and found the closed bench they could outside of the bathroom. Jimin had to rest before doing anything else. Jungkoook realized Jimin was in on state to continue the date. jk knew he needed to rest and rehydrate. So, Jungkook told Jimin to stay on the bench while he goes looking for a stand that sells water. He found some at the lemonade stand, and he got it for free when the person counting the cash realized that jk was the guy with the sickly little dude. Jk thanked him and went back over to Jimin. Jimin was slumped up against the chair head in hands and moaning every so often. Jimin gladly takes a few sips feeling thirsty and a bit too empty. After that, they make a slow past walk. jungkook holds the other. half for comfort and a half so that they can walk at the speed Jimin needed to go. In the car, Jimin sits with the door open and a hand on his stomach and a hand on his dizzy head. Jungkook was worried about that. Jimin might throw up again from walking so far. He didn't let it show he keeps calm and reminds Jimin to relax and take all the time he needs. Jungkook plans to get him back to the apartment and to stay the night to make sure he's alright. He does just that making sure Jimin stays hydrated and keeping a bucket near him in case he's still feeling sick. The nausea Jimin was experiencing had finally tapered off but to jungkook, he still looked unwell. They climbed into jimin's be and spooned. jungkook heard Jimin snore giggled to himself and eventually fell asleep too.

"Hey!, Joonie hyung." Jimin quieted down his voice. " you alright hyung?" Namjoon sighed as they walked. He waited until he sat down to reply to the younger. "I'm not feeling too great right now." namjoon says softly as he sits down on the chair off to the side of the room. Jimin sits with him. "what's wrong?" Jimin says looking into namjoons dull eyes as he looks to the floor. " My stomach hasn't been feeling so well today..." " have you drank any water today?" Jimin asks putting a hand on namjoons shoulder and rubbing it. Namjoon takes a deep breath. " I guess I haven't drank as much as I should have today. Namjoon says putting his head in his hands. " my head has been hurting too. namjoon murmurs under his breath. Not really feeling much like talking. " I'll go grab up some water." Jimin walked over to the break room across the hall there he found other members grabbing a bottle of water from the fridge. Namjoons head was pounding in the palm of his hands. All he had to do was finish off the rest of practice and he'd go straight home, skipping working on his album. He hasn't been able to stare at a screen for very long today. He was suspecting he had a migraine but instead he put the idea of dehydration on Jimin's head that way he wouldn't worry so much about the leader.

Taehyung on the other hand went straight to the bathroom once the break was called. He'd been feeling terrible but he knew he couldn't miss practice again or he'd be interrupting the schedule. He was huffing over the toilet. He had held down many burps during practice and he knew eventually one would bring up his lunch. Taehyung wishes he brought a jacket to practice. It had been freezing in the building today. He felt a nauseating shift in his stomach and being cold became the least of his problems. He wishes he would have more comfortable pants seen as his dress pants were now dusty from the bathroom floor. They also felt a bit too tight around his stomach. He gagged loudly. The sound echoed off the bathroom walls. He couldn't help it. He wishes he were quiet. He gags again. feeling a rumbling in his tummy. He winches. He really does not want to throw up right now. He feels his lunch rise up his throat. The taste of instant noodles was taunting his tongue along with a sour acidic taste. The tastemaking brings up more noodly- chunks of sick. He was really hoping no one was near the bathroom door. He knew he was loud enough for someone to hear it.

Unfortunately, Yoongi was just about to entire the bathroom. Yoongi heard what sounded like sick splatter and loud retching and ran inside. He saw under the stall familiar dress shoes. Yoongi Banged on the door out of worry. This startles Taehyung, He coughs and begins to choke on the sick coming up his throat at an alarming rate. Taehyungs heart is pounding and drips of cold sweat fall from his face. He retches and heaves up everything he's eaten today. Yoongi pushes the handle on the stall. It opens. Tae must have never locked it. yoongi pushes it open all the way and holds onto taehyung. Tae is in the middle of heaving up a particularly strong bout of his lunch. He hears his hyung's worried voice and his warm hands on his shoulders. " Taetae? you alright. Tae feels the strong stream of vomit tamper off and he takes a bit of breath. He wipes his mouth with the back of his hand. There is lots of saliva in his mouth and it's hard not to gag on it. He speaks. "I feel sick" is all he says before hanging his head and waiting for the next round to come up his throat. Yoongi rubs taehyungs arms they are riddled with goosebumps but his body feels boiling hot. Taehyung has a fever the older thought.

Taehyung feels nauseous but nothing more is coming up right now. Tired, he rests his head on the toilet. Yoongi gets down on his level. "let's not do that, that's gross, here lay on me tae tae." Yoongi guides taehyungs body off the toilet and onto his chest. Silents fill the room there is only the sound of taehyung breathing, every now and then he'd cough and attempt to clear his throat. His throat burned. yoongi wants the boy to rest for a moment but he really needs to get up so that he could figure out what next to do with taehyung. " come on tae tae let's get you out of here yoongi says trying to get tae to stand up. Namjoon sat still in his chair waiting for Jimin to come back. Just as he was thinking Jimin came up beside him with three bottles of water. Here hyung. Jimin gives namjoon an ice cold water and then sets down the other for him on the floor. Namjoon is beginning to regret lying to Jimin. "come on hyung we gotta get you hydrated before the break is over." did Jimin forget he said his stomach was hurting? namjoon thought. Namjoon obliged opening the first water bottle and chugging it down to get it over with and to get Jimin to stop worrying about him. Once he finished off the first body he began to question if trying to chug down a second would be a good idea. Jimin was waiting for namjoon to make the move for the next bottle. Namjoon put a hand on his full tummy. The water swirled in his tummy. Namjoon knew that he was that he created this problem by lying to Jimin and now he'll just have to accept his fate.

Namjoon opens the second bottle hoping his body had just a little more room for water. He begins swinging it down. Jimin stops him this time. "Woah Woah hyung, Slow down a bit," Jimin says as he picks up namjoons empty bottle to throw away. Gulping the water only makes namjoon feel fuller faster. He really hopes that he could just use the bathroom a few times and that be the end of it but telling how sick and full he began to feel he knew that it wasn't going to happen that way. He gets the water down. " good hyung, you should start to feel a bit better, do you feel any better? Jimin asks. Namjoon huffs and forces down a burp that was climbing up his throat. " yeah I feel- and an audible gurgle came out his mouth along with a weak string of vomit. He bends over in his chair aiming for the floor instead of his sneakers. which were soaking wet with waterly vomit. The loud gag caught the attention of all in the room. Jungkook and Jin were just coming back from being in the break room. The first thing they see upon entering is namjoon off to the side throwing up directly onto the glossy wood floors. They both gasp. Jimin comes closer to namjoon and tries to keep his body in the chair as he leans forward puking. The stronger Namjoons stream of vomit got the tighter the leader held onto his stomach. he was adding lots of pressure trying to make this embarrassing moment end faster. Once the stream stopped he coughed and hung his head. He was far more tired than he was before. He had no energy left at all. Everyone was soo keen on namjoon that the members almost didn't see yoongi help guide Taehyung in the room. jungkook helps out his hyung who is struggling to keep the taller member upright. together, Jk and yoons sit taehyung down in a chair. yoongi looks at namjoon who sat in a chair with a pile of sick beneath him. yoongi was starting to think it might have been a bad time to bring taehyung back into the room. Yoongi tells Jk to stay with joonie. yoongi walks across the room and asks Jimin what happened.

Jimin explains what happened. " making him drink two drinks of water back to back might not have been a good idea jimine" yoongi says. Yoongi goes and finds the dance instructor who was talking with the manager walking down the hall. yoongi explains the situation" They decide to cancel practice and any other activities that pertained to work so that the sick members could rest. they also didn't want anyone else geting sick in the middle of the day so they just canceled all of today's activities. They go back to the practice room. Namjoon has his head in a bucket and Jungkook is covering v with his jacket because he was shivering. They announce the news and they prepare to go home. Namjoon feels bad for being part of the reason that they had to cancel today's work. He tried talking to yoongi about it. " yoongi, we don't have to cancel a full day of work. I was feeling a bit bad but I'm feeling much better. namjoon tries perking up to convince yoongi to keep the schedule going. " taehyung can go get some rest but the rest of us should keep working namjoon." says. " namjoon," yoongi says plainly. " you and taehyung need to go rest. you could have whatever taehyung has for all I know. just because you "feel fine" doesn't mean you won't get worse later. "yoongi adds. " plus, I've been working with you for years joon I can see right threw you." yoongi says before walking away to go check on taeyhung. he hoped he wasn't being too harsh but working while sick won't get anything done so he might as well rest. Taehyung was clasping onto his stomach under kookies jacket.

He was so glad jungkook was nice enough to let him borrow it. He felt like he'd freeze to death if he hadn't. " taehyung takes a deep, slow breath, he's trying to calm his stomach. His stomach wasn't completely settled. Namjoon was feeling similar. He didn't feel like he'd throw up again at the moment but his stomach felt unsettled. he reframed from rubbing or touching it not wanting the members around him to know he wasn't still feeling well. Jimin helps namjoon gather his things and jhope keeps a hand on joonie back. Jk helps taehyung slip on the jacket he had draped over him. They all get up from their seats and walk out of the building. It's a silent ride home. Taehyung rest his head on jungkookies shoulder and namjoon lay his head on the window beside the two. Taehyung is asleep and jungkook is looking the opposite way out of the window. Namjoon looks around the van. everyone is calm and quiet. Most importantly no one was looking in his direction. He puts his hand on his stomach. Usually, he asks Jin hyung or someone else to rub his stomach but he didn't want them to know he was still unwell. He tired easing the pain in his stomach as he rest his head on the cold glass window. What he didn't know is that behind him yoongi had sat up in his chair to see what namjoon was doing. yoongi gets even closer and whispers. " your stomach still giving you trouble." namjoon didn't know if yoongi was doing this out of spite or if he was genuinely concerned but either way, namjoon removed his hand and whispered back an angry no.

joon decided to close his eyes and sleep instead right as he begins to feel his tired brain drift off he feels the car turn off. They were home. He was relieved despite not being able to catch some quick zzzs. Taehyung was let out first. He stood over a pat o grass and complained about nausea. Jimin came after him and rubbed his back, telling the younger to relax. Yoongi was out after and then Jk and then namjoon with hoseok following namjoon. hoseok took namjoon by the hand and told him to head inside. hosoek could see that namjoon was very tired and figured he'd help him by unlocking all the doors and pressing the buttons and stuff. Namjoon and hobi were the first to go inside the dorm. Namjoon took off his sweat stand clothes and sat on the couch. Hosoek did the same plloppign right beisde namjoon. Outside taehyung only managed to get up a few small bouts of sick. Once nausea died down the rest of the members that stayed behind made their way to their dorm. yoongi unlocked the doors and held the elevator open so that they all could get in. Taehyung held onto jungkook as they walked. Resting his head on jungkooks shoulder. By the time they reach the dorm namjoon has already fallen asleep in hoseok's arms. Hosoek had been loring him to sleep by rubbing the other belly. It felt way better than when others did it namjoon thought as he slept. The members open the door. They see namjoon resting on the couch and they all join. Taehyung lays on top of jungkook inside and Jimin holds on to the two. yoongi lay/ sit on the outside with his legs tangled in jimin's and they all hold each other. they each fall asleep one by one on the couch.

___________________________________________________

He'd spent 3 weeks alone, he wanted to see someone, and he was happy the members came to see him. Even though he knows the members will probably scold him for not taking better care of himself, he didn't care he just wanted them here. " ok, joonie, I'm going to get this key and we're coming inside. The six members manage to find the key and get the door open. The house was a bit messy, dishes were unwashed blankets and pillows were scattered across the couch and so on. " we should probably help namjoon clean since he's not feeling so well." yoongi says. The younger members start cleaning. Jungkook on the dishes, taehyung cleaning up the living room, Jimin wiping counters, and arranging things. Jimin hoped that he was putting them how namjoon would like them. Jhope watched over the three cleanings. while yoongi and Jin go look for namjoon. He wasn't in his bedroom or any of his other rooms. He wasn't in the guest bathroom, They decided to go back and check the bathroom in his room. They found him, resting his head on the toilet seat looking as though he had just recently thrown up a few seconds earlier. he was looking really rough, his hair was slick back, a bit greasy and unwashed. he was a bit pale, he didn't have his honey sun-kissed glow, and there was a sickly green tint to his face. Beads of sweat sat on his forehead and his breath was labored like I'd been running before they opened the door. Jin sat on the floor next to him. To joon's surprise, Jin didn't argue or joke he just sat there and rubbed joons back in wide circles. namjoon almost didn't notice yoongi was there leaning on the door with his arms crossed until he spoke. " joon, how long have you been feeling bad?" yoongi asked. " today, "joon kinda lied he'd been feeling off last night. as if jin knew the other was lying he got up. " alright, yoongi, give someone a list of food to get so we can make lunch for joon," he says. yoongi shook his head and walked out of the room. " alright when you're ready I'm going to give you a bath your filthy and there are stains all over your shirt." jin says

" hyunggg," joon says sounding annoyed. " ah ah ah I don't want to hear it you always take care of me and the other members it's time you be babied for one. jin says pulling off namjoon's shirt from behind. Namjoon obliged not feeling much like arguing. While Jin prepared namjoon to get a bath, yoongi instructed jungkook and Jimin to go get a list of food made, yoongi also add, medicine for namjoon, and also snacks, because it was likely they'd be staying for a while to keep an eye on namjoon. Jhope told yoongi he was going to go with Jimin and jk to keep them on task he also was afraid of hearing namjoon throw up. It made him nervous, so he figured he'd help the leader in his own way. That left taehyung, yoongi jin and of course sickly little namjoon in the house. yoongi prepared namjoon clothes to wear for when he was finished, shorts, socks, and a plain t-shirt. taehyung followed yoongi around not knowing what else to do. Back in the bathroom namjoon sat holding his aching middle in the tub. His hyung washed his hair, The last time someone did that for him he was a child. After doing so Jin took him to this bedroom where clothes were prepared. yoongi and tae left the room. Joon complained about bubbling in his tummy and told jin he really need to go to the bathroom. After joon was dressed he had to be quickly escorted back to the bathroom. Jin guided him there realized what he need and closed the door to give him privacy. After waiting by the door hearing namjoons streaks of pain he heard the front door open and the sound of rustling grocery bags.

The three had arrived. He figured namjoon would be alright if he left since there wasn't much jin could do while he sat on the toilet. The three returned with everything on the list, even the medicine and snacks included by yoongi. Namjoon can hear the house being bombarded with noise, he wishes he could join the others but his stomach wasn't letting up. Back in the kitchen jin, yoongi and junk look make lunch. Jin ends up asking yoongi to check on namjoon. " yoongi, check up on namjoon and make sure he's alright. be sure to knock first, joon is having downstairs trouble, jin laughs" yoongi finishes what he's doing and he's out without a sound. yoongi walked down the hall to namjoon's room and then his bathroom. he found Joon laying on the floor breathless and shirtless. " joon? you good?" Yoongi walked closer, namjoon was unresponsive. Once yoongi got closer he could see that namjoon threw up on the ground layer in it. " JOON!" yoongi shouted jumping into action, He lifted namjoon by his arm, he was heavy. Yoongi did the best he could and managed to get him out of the puddle of sick. " joon what happened? what were you laying in a puddle of sick?!" yoongi says, grabbing the towel off the rack and wiping joon with it. " I-I c-couldn't get up," joon says. " JIN HYUNG!" yoongi shouts. yoongi pulls namjoon to lay in his lap. " "JIN HYU-" namjoon's body starts convulsing as yoongi yells. Namjoon starts to throw up. yoongi doesn't care where namjoon throws up he just doesn't want him to choke on his vomit. He pushes namjoon up and namjoon throws up all over both of them. yoongi thanked his lucky stars that he had a strong enough stomach because the sign of namjoon's stomach acid protecting everywhere was not for the weak.

All of the members ran straight to the bathroom once they heard the commotion, then all hell broke loose. Jimin gagged at the sigh setting off hoseok, who was pushed away into the next room by jungkookie. Leaving taehyung and jungkook to help yoongi and Joonie. Yoongi was stiff namjoon was in his lap doubled over retching. Namjoon could feel the little energy he had left leaving his body. His stomach was in lots of pain. He felt overwhelmed with all the sick on him and yoongi. With Taehyung's help, jin got the two cleaned up. yoongi had to borrow clothes from joon because he was drenched in sick. Jin cleaned the bathroom as well, that was taehyungs limit so yoongi helped instead. They let namjoon lay down with a bucket by his side. Eventually, things were handled and the hour of chaos ended. They got back to making lunch, they managed to get namjoon to eat a few bites, and once finished they cleaned up and all sat on the couch in the living room for a movie. They all sat huddled up together. namjoon in the direct center trying their best to make sure he knows he's loved. Almost an hour into the movie, when most members are sleeping softly, namjoon could help but silently burst into tears. He was feeling a lot of things and he couldn't hold back the tears. He's exhausted but can't sleep, he's lonely but not alone, his stomach's still aching even though he had medicine a while ago, it's all too much for him. what he didn't know is that jin was in fact not sleeping on his right. namjoon assumed he was cause he hadn't moved and he couldn't see his face. Jin turns over to his younger brother. He knew he had a lot going on without namjoon even saying a word, he simply ran his hand threw namjoon's hair, as tears rolled down namjoons face, unable to control the whimpers leaving his mouth. Jin knew namjoon was ogin through a rough time. "It's ok to cry as long as you don't do it alone." jin whispers to namjoon. words he stole from one of the other members.

____________________________________________________________

Hours passed, They lay on the couch so long that yoongi, Jin, and Jungkook began making dinner. Jimin had fallen asleep with a hand on taehyungs stomach. Taehyung would have fallen asleep if it weren't for his stomach geting worse over time. He kept going in and out of sleep, awakened constantly by his aching middle. Jimin's body around his own made him sweat, but somehow felt chilly and would shiver when the brisk nighttime wind would enter threw the open screen door. Jimin tossed in his sleep causing his hand to awkwardly push into tae's stomach. This twisted his stomach, and a wave of nausea washed over him. He felt like he could puke, the smell of dinner entering his nostrils only made him more nauseous. He sat up. He felt the blood in his head dip, and the world around him spun, His stomach dropped. He began to rise from his seat quickly. Doing so only makes things worse. Before he could even pass the coffee table he was hit with a feeling in his stomach, before he could even react his breakfast cereal was on the floor with a loud retch. He felt weak and dizzy so he sat ( practically fell) onto the floor. Everyone within earshot heard what happen. Jimin hopped up from the couch to see him vomiting into a growing puddle on the floor. Jimin gets down off the couch and onto the floor to comfort him. He can feel the other heat radiate off as Jimin rubs his goosebumped riddled skin. "He definitely had a fever," Jimin says out to the members who have stopped cooking, preparing the table, and messing around. namjoon runs over with the kitchen's large trash can. The carpet was ruined but namjoon figured it was better for Tae to use the bin anyway. Yoongi grabbed water for him, and Jin found a towel to cover the puddle of sickness on the floor to tae wouldn't have to keep looking at it. The only hyung that didn't go physically help tae was hoseok. He wouldn't be able to stomach it so he opted for making rice for tae to eat when he was ready. All the members comforted him and make sure he was comfortable as he threw up into the trash can.

Eventually, Taehyung stomach had nothing left to bring up. Leaving the younger feeling sick but empty. Once tae could, Jimin helped guide him back to the couch. Tae was dirty and complaining about being cold and sweaty so namjoon left to go prepare a bath. Dinner was put on pause. Taehyungs health felt more important to the members at the moment. The dizziness he felt when he first got up only worsened as time went by. while yoongi was preparing some clothes for tae to wear after his bath yoongi could hear namjoon struggling across the hall in the bathroom. He decides to go see what was the matter. Yoongi knew that the leader was more used to solving big problems rather than small ones. Trying to solve smaller problems tends to stress the leader out. Yoongi walked in on namjoon checking the temperature of the water, burning himself and adding a little bit more cold water only to check it and burn it again. Yoongi giggled at the younger. Namjoon turned back when he heard yoongi. yoongi stepped in and helped. He turned on the cold water and let it run. "If it's too hot just let the cold run for a bit." yoongi waited a moment and then turned the water off. He checked the water once more. He dipped his hand in the water " perfect" he says shaking the water off his hand, then he leaves the room. Namjoon followed behind him. " Tae Everything is ready for you," yoongi says. Jimin helps the sickly other rises from the couch and slowly make his way to the bathroom. tae loses his balance from a dizzy spell.

Jimin struggles to keep the taller upright and namjoon steps in to help assist him to the bathroom. Tae enters the bathroom with his hyungs. The first thing tae notices is the sweet smell of the tug's soapy water. The strong smell agitated his head, bringing more dizziness to his head. Namjoon and Jimin gently rest tae on the top of the toilet. They don't bother asking him if he needs help, they already knew the answer plus this way also avoids tae saying no, being too prideful, and then ending up geting dizzy and falling. Namjoon begins to ( I was gonna say take off tae's socks but we all know that man doesn't wear socks lol) Pull tae's shirt over his head. Making the boy shiver. Jimin and namjoon help the boy with the rest of his clothes and help him into the tub. They leave out to give the sickly boy alittle space but they leave the bathroom door wide open and every so often a member would check up on him. Taehyung didn't move much in the tube. When he gathered the strength he washed off himself. Once he was tired of doing so he sat there laying against the side of the tub applying pressure to his stomach. Doing so felt nice. It eased a bit of the pain. He felt himself almost drift to sleep in the tub, but a tap on his shoulder woke him. Once he opened his eyes he saw hobi, three of him to be exact. he was still dizzy and now, he was seeing double. " hello tae tae. you look so peaceful here but you can't sleep in the tub. " hobi says. Hobi notices that taehyungs hair was still dry. "would you like me to wash your hair for you?" tae didn't feel like speaking, nausea still roamed his tongue. he shakes his head yes. hoseok giggles softly at how tired the boy was. With shampoo, hobi began combing threw the boy's long curly hair. With the pressure, taehyung was adding to his tummy. Everything felt nice. Hobi hyung was gentle but thorough. Tae really liked being babied by his hyung, it made him feel loved. Taehyung would have been sleeping if it weren't for his stomach choosing now as a good time to feel worse. The pressure no longer helping him. He alerted hobi that he wasn't doing so well again, hobi quickly finished up washed his hair, and conditioning faster than he would have typically. He helped the younger out of the bath, grabbed him a towel, and helped him to his room. Their Jimin and namjoon talked with yoongi as they wait for tae to finish up. Hobi helped him to his room and sat him down on tae's bed. Hobi grabbed taehyungs trash can full of discarded papers and put it close by him. " he said he's not feeling well again." is all hobi says before exiting the room. The members help him into his clothes, afterward, Jimin lays cuddled beside him on tae's bed.

The older held him in his arms once again and rubbed his stomach... Jungkook comes in with a bowl of rice that hobi prepared during the commotion. yoongi came behind him to bring in medicine for taehyung to have after he eats. Taehyung absolutely did not want to put anything on his stomach. His nausea hadn't gone away. The only way they got tae to take a bite was by Jimin feeding it to him, and even then after the third bite, he began to protest and say that he didn't want anymore. They had to get enough on tae's stomach so that he could take the medicine, it was hard but they eventually managed to get tae to have a few more bites. Yoongi administered the meds. The moment the awful-tasting pink stuff hit his tongue he began gagging, Jimin rubbed his back as he released a painful gag. yoongi brought the trash can that was on the floor up to taehyungs mouth. Taehyung could feel the rice he just ate rise up from his stomach. he slapped a hand to his mouth. " taehyung, relax you're working yourself up. take a breath and calm down." yoongi says not changing his tone even once." Taheyung tries to listen. with a hand still attached to his mouth, he calms himself and tries to take a breath through his fingers. yoongi really didn't want tae to throw up the rice he managed to get down. He knows it would be a long ordeal to have to try again. Taehyung gets a whiff of the still open medicine bottle, causing a retch to come up instead of an exhale. Taehyung went straight for the small trash can. yoongi gave his shoulder a pat and ruffled his wet hair out of his face. Jimin stay rubbing tae's tummy trying to ease the pain the best he could. Tae retched loudly but only threw up a little of the rice along with a bit of stomach acid. He pushed the can away from him. yoongi took it and put it on the floor off to the side. Feeling spittle on his face, he wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. yoongi was surprised tae hadn't thrown up any more than he did. yoongi decided to let him rest before trying again to stomach the meds. Tae seemed really tired anyway. He left the room turning off the lights before exiting. Jimin stay laying with him keeping an eye on him, promising to himself that he wouldn't fall asleep before taehyung did. He watched carefully as taehyungs eyes became dull and slowly crept partially closed.

Ps. Jimin wishes he could take his fingers and close them the rest of the way but he didn't want to wake the sickly boy so he left his eyes alone, despite looking kinda creepy.
