1.
It's early. Hell it's always early when Jungkook can't put his restless mind to bed and call it a night. He's up as per usual, rustling around in the kitchen looking for some sort of placebo to get him to rest his lethargic limbs.
Jungkook is clumsy with holding himself in the early hours so it's no surprise Seokjin hears him and wakes up. He automatically looks over to Jungkook's bed, already knowing its him that's awake at these hours.
Seokjin just has to appear in the doorway for Jungkook to place anything in his hands down and look over at him. Seokjin knows how much he struggles with the constant insomnia he deals with. It makes him tired consistently and unresponsive. He knows when things get stressful that's the times he'll hear Jungkook awake. He also knows that nearly nothing will send him to sleep.
He opens his arms and Jungkook quickly walks over to them. Seokjin wraps his arms around the youngest and places his chin on his head. He can feel Jungkook's warm breath on his collarbones as he's buried himself into the crook of his neck. He smiles as he rubs curves on his back, already trying to lull the boy into some sort of broken sleep.
Soon enough he's swaying side to side just waiting for Jungkook to go slack in his arms. Luckily it happens eventually and Seokjin ends up carrying him into his bed. Jungkook attaches himself to the elder and Seokjin just embraces it. He's just happy Jungkook is getting a decent nights sleep.
2.
Hoseok feels Jungkook slip under the warm covers of his bed. Jungkook's small hands grab for him as he is blinded in the dark of the dorm. Hoseok quickly moves to embrace the young boy, knowing his insomnia has flared up once more.
He whispers sweet nothings to Jungkook for most of the night, drawing intricate patterns into his skin as he did. Jungkook's body is still reluctant to fall into the clutches of the dream world even with Hoseok's coaxing. Jungkook is led against Hoseok's chest, sat slightly upright but not enough to be uncomfortable. Hoseok gets them both lying down before kissing Jungkook's forehead. Jungkook returns the favour as he engulfs himself within the covers. Hoseok puts his arms around the exhausted boy and success, he can feel his breathing even out and he finally succumbs into the depths of sleep
3.
Jimin has just got back from a late night dance practice to see Jungkook lying on the floor of the kitchen. He doesn't question it, knowing that Jungkook can't lie in bed forever and occasionally wants a change of scenery.
He gets changed rapidly before joining him on the kitchen floor. He doesn't speak a word, he just lays there, giving Jungkook the reassurance that he's there even if he'd much rather be in his warm bed than the cold flooring of the kitchen.
Jimin decides to shift Jungkook into his arms after a long twenty minutes of silence. Jungkook simply melts into his embrace as he messes with the sleeve of Jimin's t-shirt. Jimin is busy playing around with his hair while sneakily trying to get Jungkook relaxed enough to fall asleep.
Somehow it works. Jungkook has gone limp in his arms and he easily carries him off to bed. Jimin just knows that he'll wake up as soon as he places him down without a warm body next to him, so he gets into his bed with him. Finally he has the warm bed he wanted in the first place, plus the addition of Jungkook, which isn't bad whatsoever.
4.
Taehyung sees Jungkook move from his bed into his before he can feel it. He welcomes Jungkook and immediately clasps hold of him, eagerly waiting his arrival. Jungkook has a way of finding himself in Taehyung's bed.
Taehyung is soon hugging Jungkook in a effort to get him to fall asleep effortlessly. He's messing around with his hair and tracing lines up and down his arms, anything he can think of. Jungkook is still as tense and as restless as ever.
Finally Taehyung breaks out his secret weapon. Sweet innocent lullabies fill the small bedroom. Jungkook sings along in the start but his fatigue sends him to sleep as the night draws on. Taehyung holds on to Jungkook and slowly falls back into a tentative sleep, silently wishing Jungkook doesn't wake up.
5.
Namjoon is quick to react as always when he hears soft tears ring through the bedroom. He leads Jungkook off to the bathroom to give him some random headache medication in a feeble attempt to calm the storm that's raging behind his face and above his throat.
He carefully wipes the tears that are falling in quick succession. Jungkook grabs instinctively onto Namjoon as soon as he pulls away. Namjoon can always sense the desperate way Jungkook does this, after all he knows that Jungkook hasn't slept in three days.
Namjoon is soon wrapping his arms around a fatigued Jungkook and rocking back and forth like he's seen Seokjin do hundreds of times when any of the maknae's can't sleep. He's trying to reassure him as well as silently hoping he'll get drowsy from the strong headache medicine.
Jungkook relaxes his weary limbs in Namjoon's arms painstakingly steadily. He feels his hands lose the tight grip Jungkook had on them and his head moving to rest in the crook of his neck. He's never felt so grateful for a man to fall asleep on him before as he picks the small tired Jungkook up and puts him back in his bed. Namjoon gets in with him as soon as he feels Jungkook's hands tightening to fists when he turns away. Jungkook soon settles again and falls back into a broken sleep. Namjoon lets out a breath of relief that he didn't know he was holding. Thank God, at least he's asleep for now.
6.
Jungkook decides that pacing around the living room isn't the best thing to spend his time on. He carefully slips away to the dance studio in hope of collapsing into some sort of sleep.
Jungkook knows he'll have some company, even if that company is focused completely on his music and nothing else. He walks into the darkened studio and turns all the lights on. He presses play on the pounding dance track and gets on with it.
Yoongi can hear the music and knows it's Jungkook before he even decides enough is enough and gets up. Yoongi knows that Jungkook only makes the effort to come here if things have got real bad at home and nothing can send him to sleep. He doesn't understand why Jungkook thinks this is the best way to get him to sleep, but he never questions him until it gets too dangerous.
Finally Yoongi's has decided, enough is enough and walks in to find Jungkook dancing his night away. Jungkook sees him the second he walks in the room, but he doesn't stop dancing. Yoongi quickly walks over and presses stop on the headache inducing dance music Jungkook loves so much. Jungkook immediately falls to the floor in complete exhaustion. Yoongi switches some random music on just as some white noise before going over to Jungkook.
Sweat sticks Jungkook's fringe to his forehead, his muscles ache and his head won't stop pounding. Yoongi has already grabbed him a towel and sits cross legged next to him as he wipes himself down. Jungkook gives him an apologetic look while Yoongi is fiddling with his sleeve, trying to pass the time.
At this hour no words are exchanged, just small glances and light touches. After Jungkook is much less sweaty from the intense dance practice Yoongi lets him fall back onto his chest. He knows that his back will hurt within a few minutes, but it's worth it for Jungkook. Jungkook's breathing is sporadic and uneven for the first five minutes of silence. It soon evens out but Jungkook is still wide awake.
Yoongi grabs Jungkook's hand and sighs. He hates nights like these. When Jungkook can't sleep, neither can he. He's got a soft spot for the maknae, unfortunately meaning he never gets enough sleep as it is.
Then again it's rare for Jungkook to come to him. It's usually one of the other boys that passes him off on him. Yoongi has always been the fastest to calm Jungkook's racing mind.
Yoongi can feel aching sobs rack through Jungkook's body, it makes him want to cry as well.
"I just want to sleep. Nothing else," Jungkook mumbles, his voice sore and thick with sadness.
"I know, I know," Yoongi can do nothing but be there as he cries. Yoongi wipes the tears from Jungkook's face, the sadness rolling off Jungkook and onto him.
"I feel like I'm broken," Jungkook whispers.
"You're not broken," Yoongi reassures, rubbing his hands up and down Jungkook's arms as he does.
"Hyung I can't fucking sleep, and you're sure I'm not broken?" Jungkook cries in frustration.
"Sure you've got insomnia but that means we get to spend time like this together. I'm always going to be here for you, remember that,"
"Love you hyung."
"Love you too Kookie."
Things went smoothly from then, even if it did mean Jimin and Namjoon found Yoongi and Jungkook asleep on the floor of the dance studio when they came in for practice the following morning.
