BTS Sickfics [Volume 1]

Jungkook: Electric Shock

Requested by @YoonjiOni :)

"Take my hands now, you are the cause of my euphoria," hummed Jungkook as he jogged over to backstage to wait for their performance. He, of course, was very nervous, because it was the MMA 2019. Bangtan had been dying to perform there, and today, they would finally get their chance.

"Hi, Jungkookie," greeted Hoseok, throwing over a bottle of water to Jungkook. The maknae caught it, smiled, and thanked his hyung. "Ready for your stage, Kook?" Hoseok then asked. "Mhm," Jungkook nodded.

His stage this time was especially special. Everywhere around the stage would be surrounded by water, and he was extremely excited and thrilled about it.

Jungkook just couldn't wait.

Jungkook's POV:

I've been waiting for this amazing performance for so long! I can't wait to perform on water. Though it might turn out a lot trickier than our normal performances, I'm pretty sure I'll get the hang of it. Plus, I've rehearsed a lot, and practice makes perfect, right?

My hyungs are concerned about whether I'll slip or have an accident or not. I'm not that worried, to be honest, because again, I've done a lot of practice and I had to practically beg our manager to let me do this. I think it's totally worth it, because it's probably a once in a lifetime experience.

My heart flutters as I arrive backstage. Soon, it will be our turn to perform, and I'm sure I'll shine on that stage. I'm not bragging, but I truly think I'll look amazing. I'm just wondering how it'll turn out. Will the crowd give me a standing ovation or something. Suddenly, I get stressed. I just remember that I'm nicknamed the golden maknae, and if I don't do good in something, I'll probably fail everyone, especially hyungs and our fans.

Damn it.

I reassure myself that everything will go well, but something deep in my guts tell me that things will go horribly wrong. I hope that isn't true, because I've been waiting so long for this moment. Hopefully, it won't get much hate or turn out absurd to the people outside.

I let out a breath I don't realize I've been holding. It's our turn. The speakers blare our name and we give each other a nudge, especially Namjoonie hyung. He's going first, so he's extra nervous. "Good luck," our leader forces a smile and starts off to the stage.

"Good luck," I murmur to myself before continuing to worry about my solo performance again.

End of POV

It was Jungkook's turn. His solo stage. He almost squealed like a teenage girl going on her first date, but at the same time, he felt as if butterflies were swarming in his stomach. He kind of wanted to throw up. He clenched his sweaty fists as his stage started to rise. This was it. It was his performance.

The stage finally rose and the crowd went silent as Jungkook began his performance. Except something wasn't right. Something Jungkook didn't know.

The electrical wires connecting to the lights on the ground sizzled in the water.

Jungkook let out a tiny gasp as everything went black and he fell to the ground, unconscious. The crowd screamed and Bangtan got to their feet and rushed over to Jungkook's side. They were careful not to touch him as they noticed some visible burns on their maknae's body, which obviously signaled that Jungkook had had an electric shock.

"There must've been an electric fault or something!" Jimin cried, calling out for medics for help. Before the medics arrived, Jungkook's limbs suddenly started jerking in a strange way. His whole body was shaking and trembling, and he was drooling too. Bangtan could immediately see that he was having a seizure, which worried them even more, but they couldn't do much but stare and cry.

One of the staff came up, holding a wooden stick. "I'll use this to remove him from the wires!" The male staff explained. He used the stick to push Jungkook away from the wires and the water, and finally, he was on the part of the stage where there wasn't any water.

Namjoon carefully put two fingers under Jungkook's nose and frowned. "His breathing is so... irregular," said Namjoon. Some medics came, inspected Jungkook, and started doing CPR on him. "Why are you doing CPR?" cried Seokjin. "I thought he was breathing!"

"Well, he's not now!" shouted one of the medics. Bangtan gasped in horror. They couldn't believe it. Why did this have to be such a tragic incident? No one knew. "We're calling 119!" announced another medic. "He's breathing again, but it's really weak." explained one of the medics. "We'll continue doing CPR to make sure his breathing is regular!"

Jungkook's body began shaking again, and along with his limbs jerking in a weird way, everyone by now could determine that he was having another seizure. After this one stopped, another one came up, but his breathing still hadn't returned to normal. Bangtan was anxious about their maknae, but they felt reassured that everything was fine.

Until Jungkook lost both his pulse and breathing.

"START CPR OR HE'LL DIE!"

"WHAT'S GOING ON? WHY DOESN'T JUNGKOOKIE HAVE A PULSE? WHY ISN'T HE BREATHING?" shrieked Taehyung, rushing over to shake Jungkook despite everyone else telling him not to. Seokjin and Yoongi pulled him back together. "You have to trust him, okay, Tae?" Yoongi whispered. "He's gonna be okay."

"He's having a cardiac arrest!" observed Seokjin. "A-and- cardiac arrests... they might, just might, lead to death." Everyone went silent and started screaming the next second. "IS HE GOING TO DIE? PLEASE, NO!" screamed Jimin. None of them could stop the tears streaming down their cheeks.

But none of them could prevent him from slipping away from their grasp either.

Jungkook was immediately sent to the hospital.

He went into intensive care unit, and that was when Bangtan last saw him. Bad news and good news were transported from doctors to nurses to the members. Worst of all, all medias were crowded outside the hospital, demanding for a reply of how Jungkook was doing.

If it wasn't for their manager and bodyguards stopping them from answering, they would answer, "No, we don't know either, but we believe in him."

Two days later, Jungkook was fully revived.

He could sit up himself and use the bathroom himself.

Maybe that was because his members truly believed in him.
