Insomnia.

Jungkook was riding in the passenger seat in the car at night. He looked over and saw Namjoon driving. He panicked, because Namjoon didn't have his license and didn't know how to drive. He wondered who the hell gave him the car keys. And why the hell he was in the car with him too?

"Joonie?!" Jungkook screamed as he stared at his leader.

Namjoon didn't reply, but kept his eyes on the road. The car was going faster and faster and Namjoon was swerving all over the highway.

"Hyung!" Jungkook screamed as he tried gripping at the steering wheel, "What the hell are you doing?!"

Namjoon turned the wheel too hard and the car headed straight for a tree, head on.

"No!" Jungkook screamed as his body almost flew out of his bed. He put his hand to his chest to try and calm his breathing. He looked around his room, it was dark and quiet. His alarm clock lit up a small corner. It was 3 am.

A nightmare. It was just a nightmare.

He wiped the tears off his face. He realized he had been crying in his sleep. He wondered how long that nightmare had lasted because it felt like a lifetime. After his heart stopped racing he got out of bed to grab a drink of water. While he was up he went around and peeked into all of his hyungs rooms to make sure everyone was okay, he let out a sigh of relief to see everyone was soundly still asleep. Even Namjoon.

He couldn't fall back asleep after that, mainly because he was too afraid of having another nightmare. He wasn't used to them so he was hoping it was just a one time thing. He lay in his bed on his phone to pass the time, until he heard his hyungs start to wake up and shuffle around the house. He got up and met Jimin in the kitchen and they started making breakfast together. Jimin gave him a good morning hug and ruffled his hair, "You look exhausted."

"I woke up early," Jungkook replied. It wasn't entirely a lie.

One by one everyone else gathered into the kitchen and began to get ready for work. Everyone couldn't help but comment on how exhausted the youngest looked, but he said he just needed to take a shower to wake him up a bit. Yoongi started going on and on about a really cool dream he had last night and the maknae couldn't help but be a bit jealous. He'd much rather have cool dreams too over scary ones.

At work, Jungkook was a lot more exhausted than he was used to. He was mad at himself for not trying to get back to sleep again, but he knew there was nothing he could do about it now. He told himself he'd go to bed early to catch up on the sleep he missed.

Hobi noticed Jungkook was a bit slower than usual and not comprehending the dance steps as well as he normally did.

"I'm sorry, hyung. I'm just a bit tired."

Hobi frowned, he didn't want Jungkook to feel bad about it. Namjoon walked over and felt the youngests forehead to see if he was feeling sick, but he wasn't.

"You're going to bed early tonight," Jin demanded. Jungkook didn't protest, he already planned on it. He replied with a simple okay and Jin was actually a bit surprised that the maknae didn't start to playfully bicker. He knew Jungkook must actually be exhausted.

He managed to barely scrape by dance practice until the early evening and as soon as they got home, he ate a small meal and went and crashed on his bed. It felt so nice to lay down. He was fast asleep within 20 minutes.

But around 1:30 am, he flew up in bed again crying. Another nightmare about his hyungs. His heart was beating fast and he was drenched in sweat. He groaned in annoyance because this was the second night in a row this had happened, he didn't understand why. He lay back down and told himself he had to at least try to get some more sleep this time, he didn't want to be too tired for practice and he sure didn't want to keep disappointing Hobi. Unfortunately he tossed and turned until the early morning unable to fall back asleep.
