Work Text:
Namjoon was staring at the computer screen in front of him, frowning at the notes of music that don't seem like they want to cooperate.
"Aish what’s going wrong? Why can’t I fix this?” Namjoon mumbles to himself. Nothing seem to be working, changing the tone, the bridge, the tempo nothing is fixing this piece. He has been working on this music piece ever since they finished dance practice. Namjoon sighed, dance practice today was very exhausting and he kept getting many steps wrong even when though he knew them by heart. He wanted to go back to the studio to chase the exhaustion away but now the music was going against him.
“Oh! Joonie you’re still here? It’s 3:50 AM!” Namjoon heard Yoongi gasp. God no wonder he felt tired, he thought it was the dance practice, not realizing that he had been sitting in his studio for the past 7 hours.
“Sorry Hyung I wasn't paying pay attention to the time, let’s go home.” Namjoon’s voice was raspier than usual concerning Yoongi.
“Yah, Joonie are you feeling, okay?” Yoongi asked while he observed how Namjoon clumsily gathered his belongings nodding absentmindedly. The moment Namjoon entered the dorm he went to shower and then went straight to bed, not even eating his dinner that was left over for him on the kitchen table wrapped nicely.
He woke up the next day feeling like his body was made out of lead and his abdomen felt tight. He took a deep breath and changed his position, realizing that Jungkook was no longer in the bed above his, which is a rare occurrence since he wakes up the latest. He fished around for his phone to look at the time. 11:05 am, he slept in for almost 3 hours and no one bothered to wake him up but he was more surprised that the manager didn’t blow his phone up, wait what day is it? He looked over at his phone again and sighed. Today was Friday and not Monday, what’s wrong with him? He managed to lift his body up and sit, wanting to lay back again, but he’s the leader he has work to do; walking slowly to the bathroom to take a shower and catching a sigh of himself. His hair is pointing to all the wrong direction, face a bit pale, and dark rings under his eyes. He’s definitely in a need of a shower. After he finished his shower he walked slowly to the kitchen already hearing his members screaming and laughing. They must have woken a long time ago. Once his appearance become noticeable, Seokjin called him loudly “Oh Joonie! You’re awake! How do you feel?”
“How do I feel?” He asked looking around confusingly.
“I told them that you’re not feeling too great, a headache or something after spending all of early morning in the studio.” shrugged Yoongi not looking directly at Namjoon.
“Oh..oh thank you Hyung but I’m perfectly okay, no worries” Namjoon isn’t sure of that statement since the pull in his abdomen was a bit hard to go unnoticed but he brushed it off, probably a wrong position in his sleep or some muscle that was pulled during dance practice.
“Come over and eat something Joonie before we head over to practice.” Namjoon went over to the table taking only a mug filled with coffee not having an appetite to eat something.
“Are you guys having practice today?” He spoke while sipping on his warm coffee. The warmth easing the discomfort in his stomach a little.
“Yes, since we don’t have a schedule today we decided to practice a bit so we won’t have to do it any other day.” Seokjin was sipping his own tea looking more awake than all of the members. “Alright let’s go to practice if everyone is up to it.” Seokjin asked and Namjoon knew that it was directed towards him but deep inside he wished that he could just go back to bed and lay down.
Saying that practice was hard would be an understatement. Every move felt as if he pulled his abdomen muscles more. It was very hard to ignore, almost boarding on being painful. It felt heavy and the temperature of the room wasn’t helping, it was way too hot for his liking. Panting, he went over to the water dispenser and drank 2 cups to cool his heated body quickly; shaking his head when the water did nothing to his overheated body.
“Hyung are you feeling okay?” He didn’t realize that he was left with Jimin only, all the members left the studio. It took him a moment to catch his breath and nod his head at Jimin’s question. “Are you sure Hyung? You can barely breathe.” Than he felt Jimin’s arms around his biceps guiding him to sit down and cool him down with a damp towel. He felt like he could breathe a bit easier now but taking deep breathes was more exhausting than he thought. I will close my eyes just for a moment.. just for a minute. That’s what he told himself as he drifted off to sleep.
Jimin was deeply worried about Namjoon, it doesn’t take him that long to get his breathe back normally but today he seemed completely out of it. He and Hoseok decided to go easy on him today and not point any of his mistakes because of Yoongi’s warning about him not feeling too well. He kept cooling the leader down with the damp towel until the members came back. The first one that came through the door was Jungkook, almost dropping his lunch on the floor from shock.
“Is Namjoon Hyung okay?!” His frantic tone of voice alerted the other members and they all were sitting next to Jimin, surrounding Namjoon, in a few seconds. Seokjin was checking him over for any injures that he might have sustained during practice.
“I don’t think he’s injured, I think he’s coming down with something. He hasn’t slept more than 4 hours each day and I saw him early this morning, he was out of it too.” Yoongi spoke while checking Namjoon’s forehead for a fever. Satisfied that he didn't have one.
“We had 3 hours of practice in, I think that’s enough, lets go home and eat our lunch there so Joonie can rest.” Hoseok was already gathering Namjoon’s belongings to pick them up with his own. The members sprinted into action gathering their belongings and heading out to the car.
Namjoon woke up for the second time that day feeling worse than he did when he woke up in the morning, his head throbbing and his stomach hurt. He groaned and placed his hand on his stomach but stopping when he realized that he was no longer laying down on the hard floor of the dance studio but something soft and familiar. He opened his eyes to see that he’s laying down on the couch that belongs to their dorm.
“Oh Hyung you’re awake! Do you feel better?” The maknae line were playing video games quietly sitting on the floor next to the couch. Namjoon nodded his head at Taehyung and tried to sit up, wincing a bit at the throbbing in his head and the pain in his stomach.
“Hyung you should eat your lunch, you haven’t eaten anything since this morning.” Jungkook was already unwrapping Namjoon’s food. Namjoon looked at the food, feeling like his stomach was protesting a bit at the sigh, not feeling hungry at all.
“Kookie I’m not hungry..” Jungkook looked at him with big concerned eyes
“No Hyung! You have to eat!” Jungkook looked over to Jimin for help. Namjoon caught the looks that Jungkook was giving Jimin so he gave in.
“Alright I will eat a bit.” He gave them his dimpled smile and ruffled their hair. He took small bites from his mixed lunch box, feeling full after couple of bites.
“Where are the Hyungs?” He didn’t hear them around.
“They went to buy groceries and some other stuff.” Taehyung replied while trying to feed Namjoon more, which he refused to eat. After Jimin gave Namjoon some water they were surprised that he fell back to sleep again. They exchanged worried looks.
“What do you think is wrong with Hyung?” Jimin was playing with Namjoon’s hair soothing the headache that he didn’t know was there.
“I don’t know, I haven’t seen him this exhausted before. I’m really worried Hyung.” Jungkook was gathering Namjoon’s lunch.
“It’s ok Kookie I’m sure Hyung is ok he just needs to rest.” Jimin wasn’t sure about that, feeling worried himself. The Hyungs came home a moment later with hands full with plastic bags. Taehyung and Kookie jumped up to take some of the pressure from their Hyungs leaving Jimin with Namjoon’s head on his lap.
“He’s still sleeping?” Yoongi asked while taking his jacket and shoes off.
“No Hyung he woke up for almost 40 minutes, ate his food, and he went back to sleep.” Yoongi openly showed his concern coming over to the living room carrying the plastic bag filled with medicine.
“What’s wrong with him? He’s usually not that tired even when he comes down with a cold.” Hoseok came behind Yoongi, carrying a tray filled with mugs of coffee and hot chocolate.
“Let’s wake him up and see what medicine we should give him.” All the members were sitting around in the living room. Abandoning the grocery bags in the hallway and looking at Namjoon with concerned as Seokjin tried to wake him up.
“Joon-ah come on wake up.” After a couple of shakes Namjoon woke up, feeling a lot worse. His head was throbbing non-stop and his stomach was hurting enough to make him feel nauseas.
“H-Hyung? I’m really tired let me sleep for 5 more minutes please.” He was thinking about shifting to sleep on his side but before he attempted to he heard Seokjin’s voice again.
“No Joonie, come on, only for a couple of minutes and then you can go back to sleep I promise.” He sighed and tried to sit down wincing at the pain yet again. The look of pain didn’t go unnoticed by the members though.
“Hyung what’s wrong? What’s hurting you?” Jimin came over putting his arm around Namjoon’s shoulders.
“I just don’t feel well.. like I’m too heavy..” Namjoon was at lost for words, there was too much going on in his brain his stomach twisting painfully. Yoongi sat in front of him, understanding fully what’s going on with Namjoon.
“Calm down Joonie, over thinking won’t help at all. Relax and breath slowly you don’t need to worry about anything just focus on yourself right now." If the maknae line wasn't freaking out before than they are now. They have never seen Namjoon in such condition before.
“M-my stomach and head really hurt.” they heard Namjoon speak very softly looking worn out.
“I will go make you some chamomile and lavender tea to help calm your stomach and you down, it’s really relaxing.” Namjoon was about to protest but Seokjin cut him off before he even spoke “No Joonie you’re going to drink it please.” Seokjin left but not before he gave Yoongi a look that said “I will leave him to you to take care of” Yoongi shifted his focus back to Namjoon who looked like he was too tired from sitting down.
"Come on Joonie let’s go to your room, it’s a more comfortable for you.” Namjoon couldn’t help but feel helpless. He’s the leader, he should be the one that helps them, he should be the one that takes care of them not sitting helplessly and be a burden. This is his problem, he should be taking care of it himself and not burden them. Why does he always end up being the one with the most mistakes and hold them all behind.
“Stop it right now.” Yoongi’s voice cut through his thoughts. Namjoon looked at him shockingly. He didn’t say what he was thinking did he? Yoongi sighed, shaking his head.
“Namjoon it’s okay to fall sick, to hurt, so let us take care of you alright?” The rest of the members looked at the two like they had a whole conversation with just their eyes.
“Come on Jimin help me.” Yoongi’s voice cut through their thoughts again. All of them sprinted into action. Jimin helping Yoongi steady Namjoon as he wavered a bit when he stood up, Taehyung running to his room to clean it quickly from anything that he could possibly trip on, and Jungkook went to light a scented candle with lavender to help his leader relax and sleep comfortably. Once Yoongi and Jimin helped Namjoon to bed and Seokjin came with his tea. The members stood in the door as Namjoon took his medicine and drank his tea. Thanking them all with a dimpled smile as he laid down to sleep. They left the door open a bit so they can hear him if they need to.
They decided to watch a movie so the maknae line wouldn't play roughly and wake Namjoon up by their screams and laughter. It’s now 10 pm and Seokjin was washing the dishes from their dinner while Yoongi was in his room working on his music, his getaway when he was worried. Jimin was getting bored from the movie since it wasn’t to his taste so he decided to go check on his Hyung.
Namjoon was sitting on his bed not knowing what to do with this feeling, he was feeling dizzy and lightheaded but his stomach heavy. There was something hot inside of him that he couldn’t bear. He didn’t know what to do since he was still half awake not wanting to get up but at the same time he was too uncomfortable to sleep.
“Hyung?” he heard Jimin’s voice but he couldn’t reply or look at him. “Hyung are you alright? What’s wrong?” Jimin was sitting next to him in what felt like three seconds.
He looked at Jimin and nodded trying to keep the feeling to himself. Jimin held his hand, feeling too cold and clammy but also shaking a bit. He knew that something was not right with his Hyung. He was too tense and seemed to be still sleepy. Namjoon startled him when he pulled his hand to put it on his mouth groaning a bit. Jimin understood the situation before Namjoon himself, standing up to look for the trash bin and found it next to the desk, bringing it and placing it on the floor near Namjoon’s feet. He went to the door and called Jungkook over.
“Kookie call Yoongi Hyung and Seokjin Hyung quickly.” Jungkook looked worried and ran to get the two while Jimin went back to Namjoon. He was shaking more and seemedlike he was stopping himself from vomiting.
“Don’t hold it in Hyung, it’s okay.” Jimin comforted while sitting next to him on the bed, running soothing circles on his back.
“What’s wrong?” Yoongi sounded very alert. “Why did you call?” Everyone was standing near the door but only Yoongi and Seokjin entered, not wanting their leader to feel stuffed.
“Hyung I came to check on him and found him like this, he’s holding himself from vomiting.” Both Seokjin and Yoongi came over to sit beside Namjoon while Yoongi took his previous spot in front of him.
“Joonie it won’t help you if you hold it in, it’s okay you will feel a lot better, just let go of your role as a leader for today.” Namjoon was more tense. He can’t vomit in front of his members, he’s the leader for God’s sake! What type of leader does that? He felt strong arms hug him from behind and he smelled Hoseok’s strong cologne which was making his stomach clench very painfully. He felt him run a calming hand on his chest and stomach, relaxing from the tension in Hoseok’s embrace. Once Hoseok felt that he relaxed enough he gently pressed on a point on his stomach and felt Namjoon jerk in his embrace while Yoongi held the bin for him. He kept on hugging him gently from behind while Namjoon vomited violently barely breathing between his episodes. Hoseok felt him go a bit limp in his embrace while he heard Yoongi speak.
“Are you ok Joonie?' Namjoon simply nodded, "It’s ok take deep breaths” Yoongi removed the bin and helped him drink some water. Seokjin came back with the maknae line holding a damp towel and Jungkook holding a fluffy cozy blanket, his own way of comforting his sick Hyung. Seokjin placed the towel on the back of his neck and he sighed at the cool feeling. Hoseok and Yoongi helped him lay back down on the bed while Jungkook covered him with the fluffy blanket earning a dimpled tired smile from his Hyung which Jungkook replied with his own bunny smile. Taehyung came back with a stuffed Ryan for his Hyung to hold onto, earning a hair ruffle from him.
“That’s actually a great idea Tae! Joonie Hyung hold it and press it on your stomach gently it should help with the pain.” Hoseok helped Namjoon with placing the stuffed toy in the right place. Namjoon felt too exhausted from the vomiting to the point where even his anxiety wasn’t enough to make him feel anxious. His relaxing state was short lived once he felt the pain intensifies forcing a whimper out of him.
“Namjoon ah?” Namjoon couldn’t reply with anything beside a hum. The pain in his stomach making him uncomfortable pressing more on the stuffed toy.
“Does it hurt a lot Hyung?” He heard Taehyung ask but he couldn’t reply. His previous state came back, which he now realized is his warning before he has to vomit again
“Bathroom...” He mumbled but they all heard him, being extremely worried, all of their senses are alert to the tiniest of sounds. Seokjin helped him up, being the strongest one of them and guided him to the bathroom noting how exhausted and lethargic he was. Once they reached the bathroom Namjoon was shaking too much for Seokjin’s liking regretting the fact that he didn’t make him wear a cardigan. Namjoon stood in front of the sink shaking trying not to put all of his weight on Seokjin.
“It’s okay to lean on me as much as you need Joonie, relax it’s alright.” He stood behind him running a cool hand through his hair, feeling a bit of heat coming off of Namjoon’s scalp. He made a mental note to check his temperature but Namjoon cut through his note when he bent down forcefully vomiting nothing but water since this was his fourth time vomiting. Once he thought he was done Namjoon gasped and vomited again coloring his face with worry. Vomiting that much was not a normal and Namjoon proved him right when he vomited again for the sixth time leaving him in tears and gasps of pain. Seokjin waited for a couple of minutes making sure that he was done when he moved gently, since all of Namjoon’s weight was supported by him now, to get a cool cloth and place it on his forehead with his hand holding it in place than wiping his tears very gently. Namjoon was feeling exhausted to the core, every bout of vomit making his stomach hurt a lot worse, he kept pressing on his stomach feeling faint and dizzy not even acknowledging Seokjin’s movement behind him. He felt strong arms hold him and guide him to walk but once he was taking wide steps out of the small bathroom he gasped in pain.
“Namjoon!” He heard Seokjin call his name in worry after a louder gasp once he felt the pain shoot up more intensely. Seokjin looked at Namjoon worriedly. He kept on gasping with every step he took with a hand pressing his stomach. He tried to walk very gently and slowly to not aggravate the pain but even with gentle steps Namjoon gasped and held more tightly on his stomach almost dropping to his knees. Seokjin felt like he couldn’t hold all of the weight himself so he called Jungkook very loudly. Jungkook came running and taking Namjoon’s other side without a single second of hesitation. Once they made it to the bedroom the rest were anxious with worry but Namjoon couldn’t register any of it. He was helped to the bed and once he had laid down he sighed, the pain settling down a bit but he felt like he was floating all of his senses are out of balance so he closed his eyes and drifted off quickly. The moment they were sure that Namjoon went off to sleep the members bombarded Seokjin with questions.
”Hyung what happened?”
“Did he vomit again?”
“Why is he in pain?” Yoongi hushed them all gently, not wanting them to wake him up. Seokjin answered them while he placed the thermometer very gently and slowly under Namjoon’s tongue not earning a single reaction from him.
“He vomited twice with three episodes each, I don’t know why he’s in pain but he kept on gasping and holding on to his stomach. I’m a 100% sure it is not the flu.” The thermometer beeped and he gently pulled it away reading the temperature out loud “38.5” the maknae line were biting their nails in worry.
“What do you think it might be hyung?” Hoseok asked Yoongi who was sitting on Namjoon’s bed next to him.
“I’m not a doctor so I can’t really tell but he has no symptoms other than vomiting, cramps, and a fever so I assume it’s either food poisoning or a stomach flu.”
“It’s food poisoning!” They all looked at Taehyung asking him for an explanation. “Hyung went with manager hyung yesterday morning during lunch to talk about the comeback and he didn’t eat lunch with us, he ate alone at a restaurant because manager left him to talk to Bang-PD.” They were shocked because of how observant Taehyung is so Yoongi couldn’t help but ruffle his hair and gave him a gummy smile thanking him gently. They all decided to go to sleep since it was midnight and leaving only Jimin and Taehyung to take care of Namjoon for a couple of hours. They woke Namjoon up enough to get some fluids and medicine in him but he went straight back to sleep. Jimin was placing another cool towel to his forehead to chase away the fever but he felt like the fever was getting worse instead.
“Jungkook-ah can you get me the thermometer please?” Jungkook looked alarmed but handed the thermometer over to Jimin who placed it gently in his mouth and waited for the result. Once the thermometer beeped Jimin sighed.
“What is it?” Jungkook asked his eyes going wide.
“It went up. It’s 39 right now”
“Should we wake up one of the hyungs?” Jungkook was ready to run as fast as he could if needed.
“No they are all tired, let’s wait for a bit and try to compress his feet too.” Both Jimin and Jungkook worked on the cold compresses to try and get the fever down.
Namjoon felt himself wake up a bit but the moment he came about he registered an intense amount of pain on his right side, he felt as if someone was stabbing his side repeatedly, not giving him a chance to breath. So that’s what woke him up, the pain. He still felt extremely dizzy and heavy but the pain was just too much. How can something hurt this badly? Jimin and Jungkook both felt Namjoon tense up under their hands that’s compressing him, the both looked at Namjoon in alarm than at each other. Jungkook left the cold towel on his legs and came over. Namjoon looked as if he was in pain, eyebrows drawn together in a pained frown and his breath gasping.
“Hyung? Are you awake?” They both felt their knees go weak at the sight of Namjoon in pain, clutching the sheet in his hand tightly. They were at loss of what to do when Namjoon jerked up scaring both of them but Jungkook was quick to react holding the bin while Jimin held on to his Hyung soothing him. Namjoon looked as if he was in too much pain and the vomiting was just making it worse. Jimin looked over at Jungkook and saw him composed enough.
“Kookie help hyung yeah? I will just go get Yoongi hyung and Seokjin Hyung quickly.” He gave the maknae a small smile and ran through the door over to the Hyung’s room. Both of them seem to be just relaxing and not sleeping as they both looked at Jimin the moment he entered the room.
“Jimin?”
“Did something happen?” They both sat up at the same time.
“Namjoon hyung seems to have been getting worse, he’s vomiting right now and we can’t get his fever to come down..Hyung..” Both of them were trailing behind Jimin the moment they heard the first couple of words. They went into the room to find Jungkook holding on to Namjoon who was still holding the bin as if he’s waiting to vomit again. Yoongi came over and Jungkook moved a bit to make space for him. Seokjin took the fluffy blanket and covered Namjoon’s back with it as he was shivering non-stop.
“Hey Joonie can you look at me please?” Yoongi knelt down in front of Namjoon and removed the bin to look at Namjoon clearly while Seokjin turned on the lights to a low setting. Namjoon looked at Yoongi with hazy feverish eyes that no one was used to seeing.
“Can you tell me how you feel? What hurts?”
“H-Hurts..” was the only reply that Namjoon gave. Both of them noticing him clutching the sheet. Seokjin gently placed his hand over Namjoon’s and he didn’t hesitate to leave the sheets and hold very tightly onto Seokjin’s hand. Seokjin looked surprised almost gasping at how strong the hold was looking over at Yoongi but before he could say anything Namjoon surprised them all with a loud gasp and he bent down holding onto his stomach, tightening his hold on Seokjin.
“Namjoon!” Yoongi got over his shock quickly and held on to his shoulders to lift him up and when he did Namjoon gasped and fell down again this time on Yoongi’s shoulder. Yoongi frozen for a moment and the maknae line were in tears.
“Guys go make him something to drink please.” Seokjin was sure that Namjoon would refuse but he wanted them to leave before they started to cry. Yoongi tried to massage Namjoon’s abdomen when he gasped again.
“I-It h-hurts…v-very…b-badly.” He was out of breath.
“Where Joonie? Can you tell me where?” Seokjin gently asked while he played soothingly with his hair.
“M-My s-side…right..hurts.” Yoongi went pale. He sprinted into action right away.
“Hyung help me lay him down I need to check on something.” Seokijn looked at Yoongi but didn’t argue and gently helped Namjoon lay flat.
“Remove the pillows too Hyung I need him completely flat.” The maknae came back with tea that no one noticed. Yoongi and Seokjin helped him lay down earning gasps of pain and Seokjin was sure that his hand will bruise by tomorrow.
“Yoongi Hyung what are you trying to do?” Jimin asked Yoongi as he lifted Namjoon’s shirt a bit. He gently pressed on his stomach making Namjoon wince through his heavy breaths but when Yoongi pressed on his right side and lifted his fingers Namjoon screamed.
“Hyung!!” the three of them were alarmed.
“I’m sure he has appendicitis we need to head to the hospital.” Yoongi went over to the desk getting Namjoon’s things. Once they've calmed down Seokjin and Jimin helped Namjoon put on something warm while Jungkook went to wake up the rest. They all gathered up in the room while looking very concerned.
“Yoongi Hyung and Seokjin hyung should go, we can follow all of you later but keep us updated.” Hoseok spoke with seriousness, leaving no room for the maknae line to argue and try to go with the hyungs. Yonngi looked over and gave him a warm gummy smile as a thank you. Seokjin helped Namjoon to stand but barely got to his feet before he was bending over in pain. They decided that walking wouldn't get them anywhere so Jungkook helped put Namjoon on Hoseok’s back and covered him in the fluffy blanket.
The trip to the hospital was not an easy one, every flaw in the road had Namjoon gasping and whimpering almost vomiting in the bag that they gave him but there was nothing inside of him anymore just bile and stomach acid. Both Yoongi and Seokjin were attentive, trying to control the pain and keep the fever down while helping Namjoon get as comfortable as he could. Seeing Namjoon in so much pain was very heartbreaking. They were both lost in their own thoughts when the doctor came over.
“Kim Namjoon’s family?” He asked very professionally, probably not knowing who they are. Both Yoongi and Seokjin stood up at the same time. The doctor came over to them smiling like a father.
“The surgery went very well, no complications or anything concerning, he should be able to make a perfect recovery. He came in at the perfect time or else he might have suffered through an infection.” Both of them sighed very loudly, giving the doctor the best of smiles they have.
“Can we see him now?” Seokjin asked not showing his relief, just wanting to see Namjoon healthy again.
“Of course! He’s in room 354 but he might be asleep and wake up in a bit of pain so be careful.” They both nodded their thanks. Yoongi completely understood the aftermath of the surgery since he went through it himself. They went to the room and opened the door gently not wanting to wake him up. They found him asleep with an IV and a blood pressure cuff around his bicep, looking paler than usual. Seokjin went directly to his side to hold his hand being careful of the IV that was placed on the back of his hand. Yoongi pulled his phone and texted the guys, “The surgery went well, he’s going to be fine.” smiling softly when all of them replied in milliseconds, clearly none of them were asleep. He went over and sat on the couch next to the bed.
Namjoon woke up with things limiting his movement, not sure what was going on around him, he hazily tried to remember but he couldn’t. He groaned when something beeped and his bicep felt very tight. He moved a bit but pain shot up his side and he whimpered, a soothing hand was placed on his forehead and a calming deep voice told him to go back to sleep, he could trust that voice..he should trust that voice.. so he drifted off. The next time he woke up he felt more alert, there were many voices surrounding him and some of his memories came back, he remembered being in intense pain and he vomited many times then nothing. He tried opening his eyes and heard someone gasp with a “He’s waking up!” The soothing hand held onto his and he heard the same deep voice speaking
“Joonie? Are you awake?" Which Namjoon replied to by squeezing his hand. "That’s great! Take your time don’t force yourself.” When Namjoon opened his eyes he was surprised that the soothing voice belonged to Yoongi who was giving him his gummy smile.
“Welcome back.” All of the other members surrounded him asking how he was and giving him different things, he looked at his lap finding the fluffy blanked covering him and in his arms his Ryan plushy recently given back to him by Taehyung. He looked up and smiled.
“Thank you guys…Thank you so much.” He hugged every single one of them brushing their concern off.
“Hyung careful!”
“Joonie your stitches!” He was feeling a warmth he can’t explain.
He stayed in the hospital for three days but was sent home with a two week rest. He was being closely monitored by all of them. He got up from the couch gently holding his stitches and moving slowly to get water when he got a handful of Taehyung and Jungkook before he even made it halfway through.
“Hyung! No moving!” They both looked at him concerned.
“Yah maknaes stop worrying! I’m all okay! I can move around just fine.” He gave them his signature smile and walked confidently but almost tripped on a game that one of them left on the floor if it wasn’t for Yoongi who held him. “Yeah you could have fooled me “
