Taehyung's POV -

I have something called haemophilia.

It's not a fear of blood, like it sounds like. It means that my blood doesn't produce clotting agents properly. In fact, I produce less than 5% of what a human should. So, when I end up getting even the smallest of cuts, I keep bleeding and bleeding. My blood could eventually clot it, but the chances of me bleeding out from a small cut are likely.

I take an injection two times a week, on Mondays and Thursdays, that put clotting agents into my blood so that if I do have an accident, then I should be okay. I've had plenty of small cuts and grazes from dance practice, and, although they bleed for much longer than the others' cuts, they do stop before I start losing too much blood.

I've lived with it all my life. My dad has a mild version, as does my granddad, but I wasn't so lucky. I got the severe kind. Haemophilia B, to be more precise. But I am pretty used to it now. I've lived my whole life being very careful, and risk assessing everything for things that could cut me.

The only thing I do that causes me genuine pain and bleeding all the time is dancing. Since I have severe haemophilia, I have a lot of joint bleeds. They're usually in my elbows, and my right knee has been coming more susceptible over the years. They make me very stiff and sore, and they swell up so they're hard to move. I've already been put on the list for a joint replacement in my elbows, but it won't go ahead until I'm older. 

It's a nightmare. They cause me so much pain, but on stage, I have to act like it's not happening. Sometimes people grab my elbow to lead me, and I feel like howling in pain. Even with the clotting injections, my joints still bleed because of how excessively I use them. I have to be very careful not to even bum my head, like when playing football or something, because the smallest of knocks could cause me to have a massive bleed in my brain.

The injections do work, like I said, but the day before the next one, I can tell just how much they're wearing off. On the day of an injection, a cut can heal almost instantly, and I won't bruise as easily, but the day before, I keep on bleeding, almost like I'm not on medication at all. One time, I fell and cut my arm pretty badly, and I had to be rushed off to hospital for an injection to make it stop. The cut didn't even need stitches or glue, but it was just too much for my blood to handle.
