“You feel so d*mn warm Joonie, maybe you should sit this one out?” Hoseok says.  Jungkook walks into the room.

“Everything ok?” he asks, looking at Joon’s sweaty face.  “Hyung?”

“He’s sick,” Hoseok says.  “Poor thing has a fever.”

Namjoon’s eyebrows furrow.  “I can do it,” he says.

“There’s no shame if you can’t–”

“--I can, though.”  Namjoon uses his sleeve to wipe the sweat off his forehead.

“Well, we’re coming out now, okay?”  Namjoon nods at Jungkook’s words and walks up the stairs to the main area behind the curtain.  Suddenly, he feels a pain in his stomach and winces, Hoseok watching.

“Joon…”

“Hyung, it’s o-ok…” Namjoon stutters, putting his hair behind his ear.  But it wasn’t ok, he felt like he could puke at any moment.

“Now, hyung~!” Jungkook said, grabbing Namjoon’s hand and pulling him out.  The bright lights make Namjoon’s nausea double, and he puts a hand on Hoseok for support.  He walks slowly to the front of the stage and listens to Yoongi’s speech before hearing the music start.  “D*mn…” he mumbles as he tries to find his place.

When Taehyung starts singing, Namjoon’s body goes into autopilot and he does all the choreography he’s worked so hard on for months.  His chest feels tight and he can’t breathe properly.  When his verse comes on, he mumbles the lyrics enough to make the backtrack sound fuller, but the backtrack does most of the work for him.  At the end of the take, he all but collapses onto the floor in front of the whole audience, facing his back to them with his head on his knees.  He’s trying to catch his breath when he feels Jin’s warm hand on his back.

“Joonie, baby, what’s wrong?” Jin asks in a hushed tone.  Namjoon feels a tear pricking at the corner of his eye.

“I…” he gasps for air.  “I can’t…”

“Joonie, calm down.”  All the members are gathered around the leader now.

Namjoon suddenly feels the urge to vomit and springs up to rush to the nearest toilet.  His legs are shaky but they carry him to the bathroom.  He’s too slow to shut the door before Seokjin is inside with him, and he barely manages to get the toilet lid up before he’s gagging and coughing up the little he could eat for breakfast.  Seokjin rubs his back and tells him not to cry, but Namjoon is already sobbing from the embarrassment and pain of it all.  He finally finishes and flushes the toilet, then shuts the lid and rests his face on it.

“Oh, Joonie, come on, that’s not sanitary.  Let’s get you home…”  Namjoon has started shivering from the fever.  “Someone get him a blanket!” Seokjin calls, and a few moments later Hoseok returns with a blanket that Seokjin wraps Namjoon in.

“You poor thing,” Hoseok mutters, hugging Namjoon and letting him warm up a bit.  “We should get him home,” Hoseok says.

“Bad news,” Jungkook says.  “Since we’re on the left side of the stage and the door is on the right, the only way to get him across is to walk him across the stage in front of the fans…”

Namjoon’s breathing picks up with a panic, but Seokjin soothes him.  “It’s okay Joonie.  We’ll just be honest and tell the fans you weren’t feeling well.  It’s ok.  Just breathe…” Seokjin rubs circles into Namjoon’s back and uses his thumb to wipe the tears from Namjoon’s eyes.

“Taehyung is already on it,” Jungkook says.  “He’s telling the fans that Namjoon has to go home.  Can you walk, Joonie?  A company car is waiting…”

Namjoon nods.  “I need help, though…” Jungkook instantly links arms with Namjoon and Seokjin takes his other arm.  They start walking up to the stage when Namjoon hears the crowd chanting,

“Kim Namjoon!  It’s okay!” over and over again.  When he walks into their sight, applause deafens him and he winces at the sound.  Taehyung shushes the crowd.  Namjoon can’t bring himself to show his face to the audience, so he turns away slightly so they can only see his hair and cheek.  He walks slowly with everyone else as the crowd continues to chant his name, a bit quieter.  He feels completely surrounded with love.  The members help him into a company car, and Seokjin gets in with him.

“You five keep performing.  I have the least lines and the most love for Joonie so I’ll go with him.”

“Most love for Joonie?” Jungkook’s jaw drops.  “How could you say that when I’m right here and he’s my idol?”

“How can either of you say that when I’m here and he’s my soulmate?” Hoseok asks playfully.  Namjoon smiles a little bit.

“We can discuss this later,” laughs Seokjin.  “We’ll see you all in a few hours.”

  All the members wave goodbye to Seokjin and Namjoon as the car pulls away.  Only five minutes into the ride, Namjoon is sleeping on Seokjin’s lap.

Seokjin pets his hair.  “You’re so cute like this Joonie…”  Sometimes he wished his Joon would get sick more often so he could cuddle him like this.  But he wouldn’t say that when Namjoon was feeling so bad.

Seokjin rubbed Namjoon’s back.  It was an hour-long drive.  He had plenty of time to go to sleep…but first..

Seokjin snapped a picture of Namjoon resting peacefully and sent it to the group chat before dozing off with his arm protecting Namjoon.

"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.

___________________________________________________

The two switch seats, bulking up their seat belts. Jin takes an extra second to make sure of its security. He's having second thoughts about letting namjoon drive but it's too late now. Namjoon starts up the car. "so far so good" Jin says nervously. As namjoon drives, he can feel his stomach acting up. He tries to ignore it, not putting two and two together he figures he's just full and nervous because he's driving his hyungs car. Namjoon's driving seems to be a fine bit the longer he sits in the passenger seat the more his stomach acts up. He wonders if namjoon can hear it grumbling. It was quite active. He keeps finding his hand back on his stomach trying desperately to settle it. Jin's stomach begins to feel super weird. Jin begins to sweat, his limbs though seated feel weak, connected to his body. his stomach is giving him a lot of trouble. As if to make matters worse, nausea became present and it escalated quickly. " he didn't want to ruin the rental car, he was supposed to be keeping an eye on this one. The other members had the other car they rented and were out and about today as well. It would be very obvious and embarrassing if they had to bring back a messy car, so, he spoke up to namjoon. usually, he would just hold down the sick feeling until they were back and deal with it alone but the pain in his stomach along with the nausea was geting bad way too fast. " JOon.." JIn huffs I feel really sick. Namjoon takes his eyes off the road to take a glance at his hyung. he didn't think he was feeling that bad until he uttered those words. then joon actually saw his face. All the color left his face. He was sweating hard. Namjoon panicked when he saw the state his hyung was in. " hyung are you ok? do you need something? are you gonna be sick?" namjoon asked far too many questions for the sick man to answer. Jin gave a mental assessment of himself before answering anything. " his stomach feels active like anything could come out of any end" He felt his lunch rise quickly in his throat and decided to deal with one thing at a time. He figured if he need a toilet he could just hold it but he need throw up right now. Or so he thought.

" JOON STOP THE CAR!!" Jin yelled slapping a hand to his mouth. letting out a wet burp in his hand. Namjoon slapped on breaks and unlocked the car quickly. He didn't even have time to pull over off to the side of the road. Jin jumped out and fell to his knees on the asphalt. The way Namjoon saw it, it look like his hyung fell straight to the ground like he had passed out. He didn't Jin stopped himself from hitting the ground. he held onto the steps of the truck. He bent over and threw up everything he'd just eaten. He could taste it vividly causing more to come up. He'd never regretted eating anything up until that moment in his life. Jin's stomach sturred letting him know that he'd have to find a bathroom sooner than he thought. He threw up for several minutes barely having any control over his stomach. He hadn't even noticed that namjoon had turned off the car and came around, he was throwing up so hard that all his senses were outta wack. He could barely hear namjoon tell him he was ok over the sound of the blood rushing in his head. Thankfully nausea eventually died down. Give him enough time to tell namjoon he needs a bathroom asap. Namjoon figured things were worse than he thought with Jin. but he didn't stop to consider himself and how he's probably in the same situation with his own stomach. It just didn't cross his mind, he was so worried about his hyung he had forgotten his own stomach pain.

Namjoon quickly drove over to a nearby store. They were so thankful to see it had a bathroom when they stepped inside. It was a small store and the bathrooms were at the very back. Halfway thew the painfully slow walk to the back of the store, Jin could feel rubble and then painful pressure on his lower abdomen, leading to pressure on his bottom. He could help but whimper in pain and pick up his pace. Jin was running out of time, a bit he thought he wasn't going to make it. His knees began to shake slowly giving out on him. But namjoon sees the older struggle so he latches on to his arm and pulled him to the bathroom as fast as he could without sturring his hyungs stomach and making things worse. They make it to the bathroom. Jin wasted no time, he went straight for the first stall and sat down, not bothering to close the door. namjoon closed it for him. Jin didn't care he was in too much pain and they've been through all with the members so he couldn't care less. There was nonstop growing from the bathroom. Anyone who was in the bathroom had left out quickly. Namjoon just stood guard at the door, staying there in case his hyung needed him. Jin's entire body was hot again. He was in a lot of pain and slightly embarrassed the way he almost couldn't keep a hold of himself outside of the bathroom. The pain was relentless, his lower have wasn't letting up at all. He held onto his shirt tightly. He felt light-headed after 20 mins of a straight surge. Namjoon was beginning to sweat himself. Namjoon was reminded of the pain he was feeling in his stomach, he forgot he wasn't feeling so great either, he begins to realize that he's sick too when he has to push down a nauseous feeling. Namjoon could hear the sound of sick slosh hitting the toilet from outside the stall. Making namjoon feel sick. he decided that there was no point in trying to force down the sick feeling any longer.

He knew it would only make things worse later on. He ran straight it the next stall, already his stomach is acting up. He gags upon seeing the toilet. The odder he was smelling from his hyung in the stall next to him promoted him to gag again. This time sick gushes out of his throat at full force. His retches were loud and echoed in the walls of the bathroom. Not another soul entered the bathroom again. Namjoon held onto the wall beside him bracing for the next round, he can feel it swirl in his stomach, his stomach lurched, and up came more of the food, tasting even worse the second time up. He managed to get a break in, he sat back against the door of the stall, sweaty and a mess, his hyung's body however didn't show such mercy. Once namjoon could focus on the things around him again he hear his hyung retching, dang joon though, his hyungs having a pretty rough time, namjoon looked down to the stall over his hyung was turned around but still in a sitting position. Namjoon gasped. Jin was trying so desperately not to upchuck on the floor. He was trying to way till his bottom let up so that he could turn around but he couldn't. tears fill his eyes from the forces of gagging. He keeps holding it back or trying to. " JOO0- gag" He cried out for namjoon's help. He heard no moment he didn't even see Joon's shadow at the front of the stall, what happen to him? he could hear someone puking near the bathroom was that joon? He felt a surge of impending doom. he retched, just when he thought he was out of luck and would end up throwing up on the floor a trash can was slid under the stall, it was just small enough to fit under the door. " Here hyung! he hear namjoon yell, followed by a loud gag after the joon's sentence. The gag made Jin gag as well. Namjoon ran back to the stall feeling sick again.

After an hour of the two expelling bodily fluids, the two lay worn out on the floor of the bathroom. "hyungie?" joon calls out voice weak from vomiting. He feels awful but he's barely gotten to the worst of the worst. " what?" Jin asks weakly, " do- *coughs* do you think you can make it to the hotel?" joon asks. jin isn't even felt like opening his mouth to answer. " hyung?" namjoon says out a little louder. Jin doubt he can make it for very long without losing it from one end or another. " I can try?" jin says unsure of himself. That's enough for namjoon, he pushed himself up to a standing position. It was a struggle but the two cleaned themselves up and weakly walked out of the bathroom. The only associate at the only register looked concerned as the two left out, before completely leaving the building, jin pulls out a hundred-dollar bill and puts it on the counter, "very sorry" is the only thing he could think of to say as the walked out.

They managed to make it to the car without incident, they took several breaks in between, Jin's legs felt like jelly. Because they took so long in the store's bathroom the lunchtime traffic had gone. namjoon was relieved it made geting back to the hotel easier. Things were looking up for the two. That was until namjoon got the worst cramp in his life right outside the hotel parking lot. luckily the car was already parked and shut off. otherwise, they would have rained straight into the building upon namjoon curring in on himself. Jin tried offering a helping hand but he wasn't much help while in the state he was in. Namjoon feels puffs of air escape his bottom. He got out of the car. He was having a hard time waking inside. He managed, Jin was right behind him cradling his own aching middle. Namjoon thought for sure he was going to embarrass himself and lose it on the elevator but he made it. He walked funny as he walked down the hall to his and seokjin's shared room, they had there won separate beds but one single bathroom, namjoon didn't think it would be a problem until now. He held on as long as he could until he made it into the bathroom where he unbuckled his pants and plopped down on the toilet. without a second passing by his body was letting up an awful surge, making his stomach ache. It quite a long time.

Jin had managed to get inside and throw himself onto his bed. Jin slept upon impact. he slept for a while till his stomach began bubbling up again. His limbs shook as he got up. He walked over to the bathroom. the door was wide open, and namjoon was still on the toilet having a round time. " namjoon" jin said voice weak and crackling. " are you almost done" " namjoon looked up to see his hyung holding his stomach leaning on the bathroom outer most wall. " I'm almost done hyung" namjoon lied, he didn't feel finished in the slightest, he tried pushing and hurrying as best he could." " joon?" Jin says his body growing impatient he can feel the pressure building on his rear end. His stomach hurt bad. " hold on hyung " Namjoon decided he was just going to get out as much as he could, clean up and then get out of the way. It was too late. Jin felt weak trying to keep it in so hard, that his knees bulked to the floor. Namjoon saw his hyungs blue jeans turn brown, Jin felt his stomach and looked down at the ground in embarrassment, namjoon looked away, that was the only privacy he could give jin. Seokjin's stomach took a long while to stop tormenting him. The floor around him was a mess. Namjoon feels guilty for not being able to move." I'm so sorry hyung, my stomach-" namjoon can't even finish his sentence, seokjin does say a word. He picks himself up weakly and tries to get cleaned up.

________________________________________________________

It was early namjoon was waken to the sound of his hyung humming while brushing his teeth, yoongi was already up and getting ready for the day. Taehyung had somehow found himself in namjoon's bed, he lay on top of him sleeping softly. Namjoon pushes taehyung off his body and sits at the edge of his bed, "taehyungg, let's get up and get ready or yoongi hyung is gonna leave without us" namjoon says rising to his feet and turning around to see taehyung. taehyung was stretched out on the bed whining. namjoon headed for the bathroom knowing taehyung would rise eventually. Namjoon can see yoongi washing off his face in the sink furthest from the bathroom door. namjoon steps in, grab his toothbrush that he lay there the night before, and begins brushing his teeth using the bathroom's second sink to rinse out his mouth. He washes his face, combs his hair, and exits the bathroom He sees taehyung still on namjoons bed but this time sitting up ad wiping the sleep from his eyes. Namjoon goes over to his suitcase and searches for some clothes. he pulls out shorts and a T-shirt to wear. Yoongi is already finished geting dressed, he now sits and plays on his phone and waits for the others to finish. " We have enough time to go get breakfast before we go..." Yoongi says so that both members can hear him. "good, I'm starving hyung" namjoon replies. taehyung replies " me too" only with toothpaste and a toothbrush filling his mouth. Once All three were finished geting dressed and ready for the day, they headed out of the hotel and took the bus to a restaurant to the place yoongi found on his phone. Taehyung was excited and happily messing around with namjoon, namjoon was excited as well and he knew yoongi was excited under that annoyed expression. This would be their first trip just the three of them, it is supposed to be a fun long four-day weekend before they have to get back to work.

The three managed to find three open seats right next to each other on the bus when it arrived. taehyung was practically messing around the entire ride. Once they arrived at the restaurant they were seated near the window where there was a beautiful view of the city. It was calm and small and there wasn't much going on on the streets but it was found to be a fun visiting area. The three waited silently for a server to come to their table. Namjoon was on his phone checking emails, taehyung was on his phone texting jungkook about what was going on, and yoongi looked through a brochure he found upon walking in. Once the waiter arrived they were given the menu and they gave him their drinks and he left to go fill them. during the time the waiter was away they looked threw the menu. namjoon say something that he'd recall having before. It looked taste in the photo on the menu. He decided to get it. yoongi choose a steak and taehyung a burger. They eventually order. Once the food arrives every one stares at namjoon's plate in confusion. His plate was the only plate that looked... off. It wasn't well put together like taehyungs burger or well cooked liked yoongi's steak. In fact, it looked as if the meat was undercooked. " joon, yoongi says awkwardly, maybe you should ask for a different order of food... " I think something wrong with that, whatever that is." yoongi says. " yeah.. hyung, it doesn't look good" taehyung add. " It's probably fine, Just because it's not well put together doesn't mean it will taste bad." namjoon says picking up a fork. " your funeral" yoongi murmured beginning to eat his own food. namjoon takes a bite, it tastes a little different, not at all like he remembered. " see hyung its fineee," namjoon says as he continues eating. " you're going to regret that." yoongi says." taehyung giggles at yoongi's sassiness.

The three finished their meals in time to make it to the tour ride they scheduled for the trip. They get seated at the very back of the bus. While people are being sat on the tour bus, the tour guide explains the safety precautions, keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle, you are free to roll down your window but remember to put them back up before leaving, and pull the yellow strings for emergency stop, blah blah blah. is all namjoon heard when his body was beginning to feel funny. He was beginning to sweat and his stomach was cramping up beneath his hand. He figured he was just having a hard time digesting the foreign food, he ignored the odd feeling. He tried to listen to the tour guide talk, the tour guide explained the area's history along with the well-known and easily spotted animes. The moment the tour bus began to move is when nausea hit him like a ton of bricks. It wasn't a typical slow build He'd typically known, one moment he was fine and the next he was incredibly nauseous. during the ride, he really tried to do his best to keep calm and relax but the bus would frequently go fast and slow. slowing down to see historical buildings and art and then speeding up to the next area. He couldn't take the heat that was building up in his body. Despite it being a relatively cool breezy summer day. " Hyung" he speaks softly not to be overheard by anyone else as the tour guide rambles on. " can you roll down the window?" namjoon asked. yoongi can hear the desperation in his voice. he could tell something was wrong. The conversation caught tae's attention. He was taking pictures before he heard namjoon talking to yoongi. He took one look at namjoon and he could instantly tell something was wrong. " you ok joonie?" taehyung asked" namjoon looked as though he'd been caught off guard by the question. despite not wanting to ruin the time he felt no need to lie to the others. " I'm not feeling great, I'm kinda hot right now..." namjoon states. Taehyung rubs his hyungs back in sympathy.

Namjoon was feeling awful. With the cramps in his stomach and the threat of his lunch paying a visit, he made it impossible to enjoy the ride. The Tour bus speeds up to quickly make it to their next location. This really rallied up namjoons stomach. It made his head spin. He felt his mouth water and his vision spin. He began sweating bullets despite the small breeze through the open window. He wasn't sure how long he'd be able to keep going. the bus took an unexpected bump while not slowing down at all. Causing the people in the back to be squeezed together and rise momentarily from their seats. namjoon was squished up against taehyung. Taehyung's elbow hitting his stomach was his last straw. Namjoon had an uncomfortable swirl in his stomach and he felt his cheeks puff up with nausea. The two members were alarmed. namjoon held his mouth with both hands. yoongi pulled the emergency handle in fear of being puked on. the bus was emediatly stopped abruptly, making it hard for namjoon to keep it together. Everyone started at the three in the back. "emergency?" yoongi did his best to say clearly. " The three quickly got off the bus, trying their best to guide namjoon along. " we can stop for a bit and go back to where we came from?" "no no, we're going on a different bus" yoongi tried to explain" he knew namjoon wouldn't make it back to the place he looked awful. He decided it would be best to go back to the hotel. Namjoon began to get worse, he complain about feeling a painful feeling in his stomach. yoongi swallowed down the I told you so stuck in his throat. The entire ride namjoon rest his head on taehyung's shoulder as tae gave his head gentle pats. Yoongi would update namjoon on how close we are to the hotel every so often. Hoping to bring some sort of comfort. Namjoon found himself almost puking again at the end of the ride. He hurried off the bus and crouched in the grass. holding his stomach and making painful noises. taehyung and yoongi patiently waited for namjoon, namjoon was waiting for his stomach to calm so that he'd feel well enough to wake inside the hotel.

Once inside yoongi pulled out the key to the room, and taehyung helped namjoon to the elevator. Namjoon was weak and nauseous, he wanted to lay down but he also needed the bathroom. laying down would have to wait. the pain did stop. once they made it to here floor and in their room yoongi called the front desk and requested medicine be brought to their room, and for the expenses to be added to their bill. namjoon resined in the bathroom until his stomach allowed him to leave. He felt awfully dizzy trying to leave the bathroom. He swayed back and forth, once taehyung saw his hyung sawing he quickly ran over and assisted joon to his bed. yoongi brought the small trash can from the kitchen and placed it beside namjoon's bed. yoongi whipped up namjoon up a cup of noodles to have before medicine. taehyung kept namjoon company talking softly and rubbing namjoon his grumbling tummy. namjoon was thankful he did. He didn't even have to ask tae too, he felt too shy about it. Taehyung's large warm hands soothed namjoon's achy middle. Tae babied namjoon the rest of the day and into the night. yoongi played along, helping namjoon eat and take his meds. namjoon eventually fell asleep spooned by taehyung.
