BTS Sickfics [Volume 1]

Maknae Line: Concert and Comeback Troubles (Part 2)

Hi, early update everyone :)

Jungkook yawned as he felt his forehead sleepily. Hell, it was damn hot, he thought to himself. He probably wouldn't last through the whole day of practices, but he told himself that he should, because there was a comeback and a concert.

"Mm, hyung, please let me sleep a little more," Jungkook whined sleepily as Seokjin came to wake him up for breakfast. "Not now, Kook," groaned Seokjin, "unless you're sick." The oldest felt the youngest's forehead. "To be honest," Seokjin frowned, "you're burning up a little."

"That's probably just because I slept with too many clothes and blankets," lied Jungkook as he yawned. "Sure then, be downstairs by five minutes," said Seokjin, leaving the room. "Damn it," muttered Jungkook to himself, "I'll survive though, at least I'll try my best."

"Gosh, you really have a fever, poor thing," murmured Hoseok when he felt Taehyung's forehead at breakfast. Jungkook and Jimin exchanged looks. "So is he supposed to stay home?" Yoongi asked. "I don't know..." sighed Namjoon, "why don't we check your temperature first?" Taehyung nodded weakly.

Suddenly, Taehyung began hyperventilating. He started coughing and choking on nothing. He held his chest and spoke softly to the others, who were panicking, "N-nebulizer please." Everyone except Jimin and Jungkook raised their brows. "Nebulizer? Why would you need one of those, Tae?" Hoseok asked, feeling confused.

"I think I've seen it somewhere before, oh so it's yours, Tae," said Jimin quickly, pretending that he had not known about the situation at first, flashing the two maknae looks, swiftly running to grab the said item.

"Here, Taetae," whispered Jimin worriedly, handing the nebulizer to the younger. Taehyung sniffled and used the nebulizer, his breathing slowly returning to normal. "So fill us in," spoke Namjoon sternly, "what secrets have you kept from us, Taehyung?"

"I-l..." Taehyung stammered, " I have b-breathing problems." Everybody gasped, while the other two maknaes pretended to do so. "How did PD-nim even let you debut?" Seokijin exclaimed exasperatedly. "He wanted to give us chances," Taehyung replied.

"Us?" Yoongi repeated. Putting two and two together, Seokjin turned towards Jungkook. "Jungkookie, don't be scared to tell us," he spoke gently. Jungkook buried his head in his hands, starting to cry. "Jungkookie, do you also have breathing problems too?" Namjoon asked.

"N-no," whimpered the maknae, "I have asthma." The others sighed. "You didn't have to keep it a secret..."

They took the day off and the rest of the day was spent with movies and cuddles.

Jimin, the one who had been known with a strong immune system, was suffering badly.

He had excused himself and arrived at his own room, taking out a thermometer and taking his temperature. It read '39.1'. No, this couldn't be happening, he told himself, feeling distressed. Him, with heart disease, was very weak when being sick. This meant that he might be excluded from the comeback activities and concert if he was caught.

Plus, he hadn't even confessed to the members about his heart disease. Having heart disease at such a young age like his was very abnormal, absolutely not normal, no sir. Jimin sighed to himself. Tomorrow was the day of the comeback and the day after that was their three-hours-long concert in Seoul.

He really was shoving those pancakes made by Namjoon in his mouth, was he?

"We're not having a holiday today or tomorrow," announced Yoongi miserably at lunch. "Sejin-nim says that both of their fevers have to pass 38.5 to count." Seokjin frowned. "So... does that mean we still go to dance practice later?"
