"Taehyung?"
"Yeah?"
Jin glanced at him carefully. "I can hear you wheezing. You alright?"
"Yeah."
Taehyung gave him a thumbs up, aware that he was lying to himself. He could feel himself wheezing too. His inhaler was sitting on the TV stand, which was a bit far from where he was sprawled on the couch.
"Can you get it for me?" he pointed to the inhaler.
"Of course."
Jin clambered off the couch and got it for him.
"Here."
"Thanks." Taehyung grabbed it, smiling slightly. This asthma thing was so annoying.
Jin stood in front of him for a moment longer, checking to make sure everything was okay. Taehyung used the inhaler and leaned back again. Jin took that as a sign to put his guard down and go back to his spot.
"I feel like it's getting worse," Taehyung said.
"What? Your asthma?"
"Yeah."
Jin pursed his lips. "You really should go see a doctor. It does seem worse than it did a few months ago."
Taehyung sighed. "There is so little time. I'm going to go next week, maybe. I have to go clothes shopping this week and record my song."
"Alright," Jin said. "Do you want to go by yourself or...?"
"You want to tag along?"
"Sure, why not?" Jin shrugged, smiling.
Taehyung smiled back. "Sounds like a plan then. I'll book myself an appointment for next... mmm, let's go with Thursday. We can go together."
Jin nodded. "Okay."

They broke the news to the others at dinnertime.
"Me and Jin hyung aren't going to be there for dance practice next Thursday," Taehyung said. "I have an appointment and he's coming with me."
Hoseok nodded. The others gave various hums of acknowledgment.
"Doctor?" Jungkook asked.
"Yeah."
"Is something wrong?" Yoongi asked. "Or is it just a general checkup?"
"Just a general... eh... no, it's for my asthma." Taehyung quickly changed his answer when Jin glanced at him. "Yeah, I'm just going to make sure that everything's okay."
"Ah." Yoongi nodded. "Thank the heavens that Jin is here to make sure you tell the truth."
Taehyung nodded awkwardly. He never knew how to respond to Yoongi's "savage" statements. The best he could do was smile and nod.
"He said his asthma apparently got worse so he's worried and he wants to get it checked out," Jin said. "That is right, isn't it?"
"Yeah," Taehyung said. He quickly shoved some food into his mouth so he didn't say anything that he would regret.
Namjoon was starting to look a bit worried. "Um... just how worse? Why didn't I know about this?"
"It's not that bad." Taehyung waved his arm around. "I'm fine."
