Hello☺️ before I start this chapter I'd like to mention I decided to try a different style of writing so I made the story in a different perspective. Sorry if this story sound rushed or not detailed enough, I had a sudden burst of inspiration and I was a bit overwhelmed because my mind was everywhere lmao, anyway I hope you enjoy this short story.
Once upon a time in Seoul, South Korea, the world-famous boy band BTS was preparing for their upcoming concert tour. Among the seven members, Kim Namjoon, widely known as RM, was a leader and an inspiration to his fellow bandmates. He was the backbone of the group, always helping them stay grounded and focused.
However, Namjoon wasn't feeling well lately. He had been experiencing severe headaches, exhaustion, and a persistent cough. Despite these symptoms, he refused to admit that he was unwell, fearing that his condition would hinder the group's progress. His dedication to BTS, along with his relentless work schedule, only worsened his condition.
One particularly chilly morning, Namjoon woke up feeling worse than usual. He struggled to get out of bed, feeling dizzy, tired and nauseous but his determination pushed him forward. He made his way to the kitchen, ignoring the burning sensation in his chest. The other BTS members, absorbed in their own routines, barely noticed his struggle. Each member was occupied with their own tasks: Jungkook was practicing his dance routine, Jimin was rehearsing his vocals, Yoongi was composing in his studio, and Taehyung was painting.
Namjoon tried to push through his discomfort and join his bandmates, but as he began to walk, his legs gave way. Clutching his chest in agony, he collapsed to the floor as his heart felt like it was tearing out of his chest. His body trembled uncontrollably, drenched in a cold sweat. The pain was unbearable, but Namjoon tried to convince himself that it was just a momentary lapse. He mustered all his strength to summon assistance, but his words came out as weak, raspy whispers almost certain to be drowned by the noise around him.
The room's atmosphere gradually sank into worry, the BTS members subconsciously aware that something was amiss. Their individual tasks lost their significance as they were inexplicably drawn towards their leader. Yoongi, who had always been alert to everything around him, finally noticed Namjoon's silent plight. Panic rushed through his veins as he gestured to the others to come closer.
Their eyes widened in shock and concern as Namjoon's frail figure came into view. Jimin was the first to break free from his astonishment. He ran to Namjoon's side, disregarding the invisible barrier that seemed to have been building between them. Sliding his arm beneath Namjoon's shoulders, Jimin cradled him gently, his heart aching at the sight of his usually strong leader weakened to the point of collapse.
"What happened to Namjoon?" Jimin shouted, his voice strained with fear.
"He's burning up," Taehyung replied, a mix of worry and guilt lacing his words.
Jungkook sprang into action, fetching a towel and bucket of ice-cold water. Carefully, he placed the chilled cloth on Namjoon's forehead, hoping to alleviate some of his pain. Meanwhile, Yoongi and Hoseok scrambled to find the nearest doctor's contact information.
Just when despair appeared to be consuming them, Manager Sejin, who had observed the situation unfold from afar, stepped forward. Rushing to Namjoon's side, he suggested calling an ambulance, understanding that Namjoon's condition was far beyond their control.
As they awaited the ambulance, the members remained huddled around Namjoon, their solemn eyes filled with remorse. Feelings of guilt suffocated them as they realized they had unknowingly ignored their leader's declining health.
Soon, the paramedics arrived and carefully transported Namjoon onto a stretcher. Their hurried footsteps echoed through the silent dorm as the members trailed behind, inseparable from their fallen leader.
On route to the hospital, time seemed to blur for the BTS members. Their minds were filled with thoughts of torment, contemplating how they hadn't noticed the pain etched on Namjoon's face. The realization of their indifference weighed heavily on their hearts.
Namjoon's health took a sudden turn for the worse, and as an astute medical team raced against time at the hospital, hope wavered in the hearts of his bandmates. Were they losing the glue that held them together?
But within the darkest moments, there is a glimmer of light. As if fate wanted to grant them a chance to redeem themselves, the heavens parted, bringing forth the gentle, guiding presence of Kim Seokjin, their oldest member.
Seokjin had been visiting his family when he heard about Namjoon's hospitalization. Without hesitation, he rushed to Namjoon's side, his heart sinking at the sight of his bandmates filled with sorrow and guilt. But amongst the shadows, Seokjin's warmth sparked a ray of hope for reconciliation.
The rest of BTS stood frozen, their gazes fixated on Namjoon's lifeless form. Seokjin, with a tenderness born of both love and regret, approached the bed. He took Namjoon's hand, feeling a pulse of life that anchored him to reality. Determination shone in his eyes as he gently whispered into Namjoon's ear, recounting memories of their journey together.
"Do you remember, Namjoon? The time we danced in the rain for the first time? Or the day you led us through our first big concert? We need those moments, those memories. We need you."
As Seokjin's heartfelt words filled the room, Namjoon's eyes flickered open, a sliver of life returning to his weary body. The BTS members gasped in astonishment, their grief instantly replaced with newfound hope.
"Seokjin," Namjoon croaked, his voice weak yet brimming with gratitude.
Kim Seokjin continued to hold Namjoon's hand, his grip unwavering, and his gaze unwaveringly focused. He made a silent vow, promising never to let their leader suffer alone. From that day forward, Seokjin would ensure that Namjoon's wellbeing held the utmost importance.
As time passed, Namjoon made a slow but steady recovery, finally reclaiming his place amongst his cherished bandmates. The BTS members transformed their guilt into a renewed determination, vowing to always care for one another, both on and off the stage. Together, they realized that they were not only a brotherhood defined by music, but a family bound by love, compassion, and the strength of their unity.
And so, the journey of BTS continued, with Namjoon's illness serving as a humbling reminder to never take each other for granted. The episodes of neglect became a reminder of the significance of their bond and the importance of their leader. With renewed fervor in their hearts, BTS conquered the world, proving that in their unity, they were invincible.
