What Happened to You?

April 28, 2019

Namjoon shot up when he heard a scream, his heart skipping a beat. He rubbed his eyes, quickly trying to wake himself up. He ran out of his room, more like stumbled, and flicked on the hallway light. Jin opened his door across from Namjoon, his pajama shirt exposing his collarbones as it slid off his left shoulder. "What was that?" Jin asked, his voice deep with sleep. His hands rubbed over his eyes, yawning after. "I don't know." Namjoon told him, when Suga opened his door.

"Sounds like Jimin." Suga announced, quickly waking himself up and walking towards Jimin's room.

There Jimin was, squirming in his sleep with tears streaming down his face. Suga ran into his room, seeing Taehyung asleep next to him.

Deep down, Suga wanted to know what happened when someone slept with Jimin. When they debuted, their manager told them to never sleep in Jimin's room or next to him, under any circumstances. Not even to nap with him.

The biggest question: why?

They were about to find out.

"Taehyung, move." Suga pulled Taehyung out of Jimin's bed, preventing him from being kicked. Taehyung groaned, trying to realize what was going on around him. "Namjoon, call Bang-PD." Suga ordered, just as Jimin's knee flew up and hit his jaw.

The second eldest cursed and stumbled back, holding his jaw in pain. Jimin cried in his sleep, his pink hair ruffling against the pillow. "Okay." Namjoon ran back to his room for his phone, unplugging it and unlocking it to call their manager.

"Jimin hyung?" Jungkook asked as he entered the room, seeing Jimin's body thrashing out in his sleep. "F*ck." Suga held Jimin's wrists down when he started scratching harshly at them, red claw marks now down his inner right arm.

After the third try, Namjoon heard someone answer.

"Kim Namjoon?"

"Bang-PD-Nim I am so so sorry for calling you this late- Taehyung slept with Jimin on accident, and we can't wake Jimin up. He's screaming and crying but we can't wake him up- what do we do?" Namjoon spoke quickly, hearing Hoseok run down the hall for Jimin's room.

"Oh- okay. Everyone needs to get away from him, Jimin might-" "F*CK!"

Namjoon froze at Jin's curse, his breath hitching as he stared at the black hallway.

"Namjoon, listen carefully. You can't wake Jimin up, he's in a deep sleep having night terrors. What you have to do is stay away from him so neither of you get hurt, and talk to him in a calm tone- just like you would normally. If he doesn't wake up in fiveteen minutes you should take him to the hospital. In a few minutes he will eventually calm down and stop yelling and moving in his sleep, but his body will be panicking because he can't wake up- his body will think he's dead and start to shut down. But wait fiveteen minutes- if he calms down in less than that, he's waking up. But until he stops everyone needs to stay away from him so neither you or Jimin will get hurt."

Namjoon ran into Jimin's room, and kept Jungkook away from Jimin's bed.

"Yes, sir." Namjoon told Bang-PD, and their managers could hear Jimin's helpless cries and yells in the background.

After three minutes, Namjoon hung up. He looked at the time, remembering fiveteen minutes.

1:19 A.M.

Seven Minutes Later

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry- I'm so sorry..."

"Hyung, it is not your fault." Jungkook told Jimin, tears still streaming down his cheeks- but not as violent.

"Why do you still have me h-here?" Jimin looked up to Namjoon, eyes bloodshot from crying. "You guys need s-sleep, and I'm keeping you from it- why keep me in this band? I'm n-not helping anyone." He explained, trying to calm his breathing.

"Because you're good, Jimin, and everyone loves you- not just us." Namjoon told him. "You've helped so many people-" "Except myself." Jimin cut off Yoongi. "I don't know how I manage to help people when I'm not even fixed." He brought his knees back up to his chest to hide his face.

"Jimin, don't worry. It's okay." Jin told him, looking to his other members- who had the same sad faces.

Jimin kept quiet, his whole body still shaking from the 'dream' he had had.

Why did this keep happening to him? Why did the flashbacks suddenly start up again? Was it the anxiety? The pressure of getting big?

Whatever it was, it was killing Jimin.
