"Yikes, no! I don't want to go first!" Hoseok yelled.

"Someone has to go," Namjoon said. "You seemed the most eager a moment ago."

"No, no, no, no." Hoseok shook his head. "Not anymore. I didn't know what we were doing a moment ago. Now that I know-"

"Okay, okay." Namjoon held up his hands, signalling him to stop. "I understand, don't worry."

Yoongi sent them a faint smile. He nervously glanced up at the big camera that was getting set up.

Their next Run BTS episode was getting filmed. At first, they had been told that they were going to take turns doing something fun, which lead Hoseok to get all excited. But now they had found out that they were going to have challenges to do. That was never a good sign.

"Do you know what the challenges are going to be?" Jungkook asked. "I asked and they said it was all going to be a surprise."

Jin shrugged.

"I can go first," Taehyung said. "It hopefully won't be too scary."

Truth be told, he wasn't too worried about anything. The others were just being dramatic. Knowing Hoseok though, he probably was legitimately scared.

-------

The first challenge was to eat wasabi. They were split into two teams. The team which managed to eat the most spoonfuls of wasabi won the round. They were lined up around two tables and given a spoon.

Since Taehyung had so bravely offered to stand up and offer to go first, he was the one who had to eat first. Unfortunately, Taehyung was well-known for not being the best at eating spicy food.

This was going to be fun.

Taehyung's eyes watered just looking at it. He had a feeling that this wasn't going to end well.

"Just hurry up and put it in, we need to win!"

Taehyung hesitated for one more second, but he soon scooped a bit of wasabi up, and shoved it into his mouth, before he could stop himself.

Immediately, his mouth started burning. Tears sprang to his eyes. This had not been a good idea. Taehyung should've known. He forced a faint smile to his face. The others gazed at him carefully.

"How does it taste?" Jin asked.

"It-" Taehyung tried to talk, but his throat started burning almost immediately. He started coughing. He could barely get air in. His chest heaved.

"Taehyung?"

"Oh no."

The coughing wasn't letting up. Taehyung was sure that he was wheezing too. Tears were streaming down his face. Screw the stupid game. He was dying here.

"Taehyung?"

Hoseok was close to him, his hand on his shoulder.

"Breathe, breathe properly Taehyung."

His words fell on deaf ears. Taehyung couldn't hear properly. He couldn't breathe properly even if he tried. It felt like the wasabi was lodged in his throat or gone down his breathing pipe.

"He shouldn't have swallowed it down so quickly," Yoongi said. "Should we call for help?"

Taehyung crouched down on the ground. He tried to take a small sip of air in. He was sure that his face was bright purple. The burning in his throat was stronger.
