Everyone was doing their things, backstage. Getting their make-up ready, warming up. Recalling the dance for their stage concert. Jungkook was running back and forth the very last 10 minutes. He came a little late and started his makeup all sweaty.

Melting off his makeup a little. He also had a last-minute outfit change since the first one was a little tight. Jungkook was rushing back and forth from different rooms.

Trying to get ready for his solo. He had a couple of outfit mishaps and accidentally bumped into someone without acknowledging it. He rushed to the stage elevator, waiting for the lift to rise.

He wipes off his sweat and fixed his mic. He stood up. Cheers started breaking through. Jungkook heart started pumping faster. Adrenaline increasing.

He started singing. The stage was loud. Jungkook couldn't help but smile as he sang. Making sure every step was right.

However, backstage.

"Im older than him. Just because his salary is higher or he is an idol he can just bump into people and not apologize!" The man raged.

"Yeah, but I don't think it's intentional... Jung kook isn't that kind of person." His friends tried consoling him.

"Haven't you seen how much he was running around? He probably didn't notice he bumped into you." His friend continues.

"ARGH, I don't care! He has to learn his lesson to not mess with someone older than him. " the man raged.  His friend sighed. Knowing it would be hard to break into his stubbornness. A slight worry was weighing on his chest.

Knowing the person his friend was. He knew he would do things that could hurt himself or other people.

"What exactly are you going to do?" He asked. Giving up. He could at least stop him before he did whatever he had in mind.

"Im gonna push a couple of buttons." He said, smirking as he headed to the stage control room.

Jungkook was dancing as he said. Before he got back to walking around the stage to greet his fans. Desperate hands were reaching for him and Jungkook only waved making many sequels.

Being an idol, things seem easy on stage but backstage there are always fights, arguments, mental breakdowns, panic.

They can perform for years and years but the moment they have to get up on stage, they still get nervous. They still strive for perfection.

The reason Jungkook out of everyone is hard on himself is because he knows messing up is very noticeable. Everyone is recording him, watching him. A little mistake can ruin his entire pace.

It's either perfection or nothing.

"Jaeyeon stop!" Ki yum exclaimed. Trying to stop his friend from controlling the buttons. He brought down the stage lift. Making a hole. From the floor lift to the top stage is very deep.

Can probably cause a big injury like broken bones. Jungkook was heading towards it. Not noticing the hole in the floor.

"Bring it back up!" Ki yum said. Trying to push the up button but Jaeyeon was not budging.

"Don't get ahead of yourself!" Ki yum screamed.  Pushing Jaeyeon off. He pressed the button, panicking. The lift was very slow.

SCREEECHHH

The sound of the mic filled the whole stage. The background song stopped. The whole stadium filled with gasps and worry. Fans were screaming in panic and worry.

"Jungkook! Are you okay? Hey!" The guards nearby rushing up to him and trying to wake him up.

Jungkook fell into the hole and hurt his head and back. His body wasn't responsive and it was clear he needed medical help.

The paramedics were notified. The 6 other members who were observing his stage were filled with worry. A guard carried him on his shoulders and rushed past the boys' stage room. All of them watching in worry as the paramedics had him on a stretcher. Not wasting time and leaving.

The MC got up to settle everyone down. The other member took out his mics and heading straight to their van, their drivers driving them to the hospital.

The head manager of the whole concert called all the staff in. Jaeyeon was celebrating inside while Ki yum was filled with hatred in him towards his former friend.

"May I know what the heck happened!?" The head manager screamed.

"The stage is at least 2 meters deep, Jungkook fell on his back and bumped his head at the corner of the stage lift! He is seriously injured and if anything happened to him! Who is going to compensate?!" The staff got scolded altogether.

An intern rose her hand. Getting everyone's attention.

"Sir, I saw Mr. Kim at the control room when I passed by. He was playing with the buttons" the internet said. Ki Yum froze, she misunderstood what he was doing.

"S-sir it was true! He held some grudge against Jungkook and wanted to hurt him. I even tried to stop him but he pushed me. Look!" Jaeyeon framed him. Pulling his shirt down, exposing the wound on his shoulder.

It was from when Ki Yum pushed it to stop him...

"Everyone dismissed...Ki yum." The head spoke. Ki yum nodded. Knowing what he meant.

"Sir, it wasn't me. I was the one trying to stop Jaeyeon. Please believe me!" Ki yum begged. The head manager looked at him with a stern look.

"I can't justify it was him until you have me solid proof. If it's him, I'll fire him immediately." The manager spoke. Ki yum was thinking hard, how can he prove his innocence until...

"That room! It has a CCTV!"

"He hurt a part of his head and he got a concussion, it would affect him for quite a bit, " the nurse said.

"He would take a bit longer to process what people say so talk to him slower, memory loss, headaches"

"Okay, thank you" Namjoon replied. All 6 members heading to the ward. Worry still plaster on their faces. Jungkook vision took a while to process the 6 figures coming into his ward.

Jungkook mind didn't stop dwelling on what happened. It's so sudden.

"Hyung" the youngest croaked. The 6 of them turned to him. Not sure who he was calling for. They held an even worried look when Jungkook was closed to tears. Jimin didn't hesitate to hug the youngest. Letting him bury his face into his shirt.

"What's the matter? Does it still hurt. You want me to call the doctor?" Jimin asked gently. The other members moving to the side so they could have some space.

"The concert...i messed it up." Jungkook sobbed. The members all let out an exasperated sigh.

"Jungkook, that should be the least of your concern," Jimin added. Jungkook only cried harder.

It has gotten out of control, he won't stop crying. Dwelling on the concert as if being falling down the stage lift was his fault.

The nurse had to come in, Jungkook was far beyond overwhelm. His head was pounding from the number of tears he was letting out. His heart rate going up, proving he was close to having an anxiety attack.

"Jungkook, it's not your fault. Please." Jimin said gently. Jungkook's body was begging for a switch off. The concussion was causing him a hard time comprehending things.

The emotion overload.

The pain.

The exhaustion.

It was taking a toll on his body that Jimin felt his body limp in his arms.

"Jungkook?" Jimin called out. The nurses knew that he fainted. His body's way of forcing him asleep. They helped Jimin to lay Jungkook back on the bed into a comfortable position.

"He will be okay soon" the nurse said. Giving the members maybe a tinge bit of hope that everything will be okay.
