What Happened to You?

"HYUNG!"

Jimin woke up with a huge gasp for air, his body jerking up as it awoke from sleep. His chest felt heavy and tight, and his vision was clouded with something. His pajama's were stuck to his body for some reason, and his entire face was drenched with a wet substance.

He felt a hard flat object against his back, and his hands went back to see what it was. It made a loud bang as his hands smacked against it, which made Jimin jump and gasp in more air. He couldn't exhale, which was freaking him out more. His mouth was dry and his hands were sweating, and he couldn't think straight.

He couldn't comprehend what was being said to him, the only thing he could hear was his rapid heart beat.

What language was he hearing?

He brought his knees closer to himself, keeping his legs closed together tight. It was extremely hard to breathe, and his head felt it might explode from the lack of oxygen.

He felt a hand on his body somewhere, and immediately screamed and retracted his legs as close to himself as possible. Shaking his head frantically he realized he was crying, and his clothes were stuck to him from sweat.

He then realized he was hearing Korean being spoken around him.

He exhaled.

Since he exhaled, he returned to Earth a little more. He started understanding the Korean, understanding what was being said.

"Jimin hyung, breathe! You're okay! Breathe!"

Was he really okay?

He looked up, and saw six familiar faces.

Namjoon...Yoongi...Taehyung...Seokjin...Jeongguk...Hoseok...

He let out a big breath of air, and the room cleared a bit more. He exhaled again, and the more he did it, the more he could see better.

"Jimin, exhale, it's okay! You're safe now!"

Jimin thought it might be...Yoongi's voice?

He felt disgusting with all of the sweat covering his body, he needed a shower. He wanted a shower.

His breathing suddely returned to normal, and his eyes focused on the floor. The pressure in his head faded, and his chest felt normal again.

"Jimin?"

Jimin looked up, his jaw still open from gasping for air.

"You're okay now." Jin told him, looking right into his eyes. Jimin took in shakey breaths, nodding his head just barely.

He hasn't had these nightmares since debut...did something trigger them?

"Jimin?" Namjoon asked, and the younger slowly turned his head towards him. Namjoon smiled encouragely, knowing Jimin was fully back to Earth and knowing who he was.

"Can we touch you n-" "N-no!" Jimin flinched and curled up into himself, shaking his head softly and mumbling multiple 'no's' to himself. "Okay." Namjoon nodded, glancing over at Hoseok.

"What can we do to help you right now?" Hoseok asked, looking at Jimin who was craddling himself and mumbling things.

Jimin looked up, tears still running down his red cheeks. "W-water, p-please." He studdered out, looking down to see himself still shaking like a leaf.

"I'll go get you some." Jungkook announced, getting up from Jimin's bed and leaving for the kitchen.

"Can we ask you some questions?" Yoongi questioned, and Jimin hesitated. He nodded after seven seconds, and Yoongi looked to Taehyung. "What was your dream about?" Yoongi asked, fixing his eyes back to Jimin's small, shaking figure.

"Past." Jimin mumbled, wrapping his arms around his legs. "About the past? What happened in the past?" Yoongi asked. Jimin seemed to tense.

"You don't have to answer, Jimin." He told him. "'M don't want to." Jimin shook his head. "Okay...do you know if something could've triggered it?" Yoongi asked, trying to figure out Jimin's situation.

Nightmares made you mumble in your sleep, squirm and you wake up with a gasp. But Jimin's nightmares...they seemed to be something else. His entire body over-heated within minutes, causing sweat to make his pajama's stick to him. He wouldn't let anyone touch him, and he was screaming in his sleep.

Full-on screaming.

The members had woken up to screams and ran into the living room. After completing a head-count, they figured out it was Jimin. They ran into his room, seeing the eldest maknae screaming and tossing in his sleep. He was crying profously, and that's when they realized he was having another one of those 'dreams' he had when they debuted.

He hasn't had them in almost seven years, after he was done with his medications. ARMY didn't know he was on medications back in 2013, and no one knew he had to sleep alone.

Management told the members to never sleep with Jimin, and now they knew why. Maybe because he had nightmares that could end up in injury for both of the members.

But...why did he have these nightmares?
