BTS Sickfics [Volume 1]

Jimin: Nightmare

(A/N I guess nightmares are kinda 'sicknesses'? Or it's just being scared?)

⚠Littlespace (cuz they're just too cute), A LOT OF CRYING (it's kinda heartbreaking actually)

Jimin was never good with horror movies. Never ever. Not even if he was being big instead of being little, but he never told anyone, and he only told his bandmates about his littlespace two months ago. The last time he watched one was already around six years ago, so he had already forgotten all about them.

It was till their horror movie lover Jungkook begged for the members to watch a horror movie with them, and both Namjoon and Seokjin agreed. You see, Namjoon was the leader while Seokjin was the oldest, so once Jungkook received their permission, he was over the moon.

Hoseok was also terrified, but he informed everyone that he would find or do something else to distract himself, which was fine with everyone. Or perhaps he could he would just sleep earlier, but he decided that he would stay by the members' side and watch YouTube with his earphones.

Jungkook and Taehyung forced Jimin to sit between them. Jimin accepted the offer, not wanting the others to laugh at him. "Yah, Jimin hyung, don't be a scaredy cat like Hobi hyung," joked Jungkook. What Jungkook said was only meant to be a joke, and Jungkook didn't really know that Jimin was afraid of horror movies, but Jimin trembled a little on hearing them. However, he just shrugged it off: no way he was going to be more scared than his dongsaengs!

The horror movie eventually started. It was a scary one about zombies being alive and eating people. Jimin shuddered at each jumpscare, but he managed not to scream or slip into littlespace. He was on the verge of tears, and somehow Taehyung and Jungkook were too focused on the movie to realize that their Jimin was clinging onto them tightly.

Another jumpscare came, and Jimin just couldn't hold it in anymore...

"Appa!" he sobbed, slipping into a headspace of two years old. Yoongi lunged for the remote and shut off the movie immediately. Jimin's caregiver, Hoseok came running for his baby and cuddled him, going into full caregiver mode, shushing him. "Scawy," mumbled Jimin, wiping his red and puffy eyes, as the zombie jumpscares popped into his head again, which made him shiver as he buried his head into Hoseok's chest.

"Shhh," hushed Hoseok. He and the others had never imagined that Jimin would be scared of horror movies, though it was perfectly fine for them: everyone had their fears, right? "'M not a big boy," whimpered Jimin. Hoseok whispered, "Baby, even appa is scared of scary movies, and do you think appa is a big boy?" Jimin nodded.

"So," explained Hoseok. "Being scared of scary movies doesn't mean that you are a big boy, darling. How about appa send you to bed, hm? How does that sound?" Jimin nodded again. Finally, he was away from those 'scawy' movies he hated. But not for long.

It was such a coincidence that a thunderstorm happened in the very same night. The very same night which Jimin cried his eyes out because of being scared of a horror movie, and now he was cozy in bed. He had hoped for his appa Hoseok to sleep with him, but didn't dare to request for it: he didn't want the others to think of him as a little baby!

He soon fell asleep, but what came next was a horrifying nightmare...

***

Zombies were everywhere in the Bangtan household: in their bedrooms, in the bathrooms, and even in the kitchen. Everyone went to hide, but Jimin didn't know where they had hidden at. At the sight of dozens of zombies snarling at him, he couldn't help but burst into tears as he wailed loudly. However, nobody came running to comfort him, because they all were hiding. Suddenly, Jimin felt a zombie grasp tight hold of his hand. Once again, he screamed for his appa and hyungs, but they were also caught by the zombies.

The zombie that had got hold of him opened its mouth to bite Jimin and its pale white face flashed across his eyes. Jimin let out a frightened sob, which only caused the zombies to sneer.

***

A series of thunder came flashed across the sky, as Jimin called it. Jimin's eyes shot opened, his hands and forehead sweaty and pale. He trembled, still frightened. Those zombie scenes of the movie flashed in front of his eyes. It felt so real. In fact, it felt too real, which was why his bottom lip quivered, and he burst into tears instantly, shaking rapidly.

"Appa!" he wailed. Hoseok came rushing in, followed by Jungkook and Seokjin. "Jiminie, did you have a nightmare? You're really sweaty, baby," Hoseok frowned, worried for his baby. Jimin nodded, not wanting to fall asleep again because he might have another nightmare. He slipped into babyspace, at the age of around ten months. Hoseok, being a great caregiver, noticed this and decided to diaper Jimin up.

Jimin whimpered, clinging onto Jungkook while Hoseok went to get the changing supplies. "Bah!" he mumbled. Jungkook cooed. He completely treated Jimin as a younger baby now, not even caring that he was the maknae himself.

Hoseok came back soon, and he changed Jimin into a cute onesie with a diaper on. The younger giggled cutely, forgetting all about his nightmare as he clung to his caregiver. Hoseok decided to let Jimin sleep with him, and they snuggled up together.

"Sleep tight, baby boy. I love you."
