warning: throwing up, descriptions of illness

------

Dark orange. Jin hated that colour. That's all he could see through his eyelids.

"Hyung...?"

Jungkook's voice was loud. Jin's ears were hurting.

Jungkook was shaking his shoulder. He was crying. Jin's stomach was hurting too much, he couldn't muster up any energy to tell him to stop.

"What's going on?"

"Jin hyung, Jin hyung!"

Jungkook shook Jin's shoulder harder. Jin was whimpering, he could hear it clearly.

"What's going on?"

Jin jolted upwards again, ignoring Hoseok's voice. He pulled himself up to the sink and threw up into it. He didn't want to look at the toilet anymore. He felt disgusting leaning over it. Jungkook's arms snaked around his waist. It made him feel worse. It made the pain worse.

"Gosh... what's going on?"

"Hey, it's okay, get it all out. It's okay."

It's okay. It was only two weeks. Jin could last like this. He turned on the tap, a sob pulling at his throat. His stomach hurt. His knees chose this as the time to give out. His ribs smacked against the cabinet handles. Jin screamed.

"It's okay, I got you." Jungkook crouched down as well, arms still around Jin's body. He pressed his nose into Jin's hair. "What's going on?"

Hoseok shook his head. "Was it something you ate?"

"No-no..."

Jungkook turned to face Hoseok. "Um... maybe tell the others to...?"

"Huh?"

"Get some painkillers for him."

"Right," Hoseok said. "I'll go get some Tylenol for him."

Jin blinked a few times, trying to steady himself. His fingers hurt from gripping the cabinet. He could feel his legs starting to fall asleep. Jungkook's hands were holding him too tightly, nearly preventing him from breathing properly. He kept gasping, trying to keep up with his racing heart. Jungkook's grip didn't loosen.

It was okay. Everything was going to be okay. The others are not going to know why this is happening-

"One of the packages are missing," Hoseok said as he came in. His expression was clouded over with a frown. "I thought I told the others not to take it to their rooms, it was supposed to stay in Yoongi and Jin's bathroom."

Jin held his breath.

Hoseok sighed, but soon straightened himself out. "I was thinking... um... you know, last night?"
