Pills - Taehyung

TW: Pills

Taehyung woke up to the sound of his alarm. He rubbed his eyes and tried to sit up, but he felt an overwhelming sense of dizziness and discomfort. His forehead was drained with sweat, yet he shivered with cold. Something was terribly wrong.

Stumbling out of bed, Taehyung made his way to the kitchen where his fellow BTS members were gathered, chatting and eating breakfast. He forced a weak smile and greeted them, but when he glanced at the food on the table, his stomach churned. The mere sight of it made him want to vomit. Jungkook, sitting beside him, noticed Taehyung's troubled expression. He leaned in and whispered, "Are you okay, Tae?" Taehyung could only manage a nod, not trusting himself to speak.

The others saw his strange behavior, too. Jin, the responsible "mom" of the group, asked, "Tae, you don't look well. Did you get enough sleep?" Taehyung shook his head, his voice barely more than a whisper, "I couldn't sleep much, hyung. I feel really weird. Dizzy and nauseous."

Jimin reached out to touch Taehyung's forehead. "You're burning up, Tae! Why didn't you say anything? You should see a doctor."Taehyung shook his head."I can't, Jiminie. We have practice today and the concert is tomorrow. I can't let everyone down."Yoongi looked at Taehyung in concern. "Tae, if you're sick, performing will be even worse for you. Let's get you checked out."

Taehyung finally agreed to go with Jin to the doctor. After a short check out, the doctor diagnosed him with severe exhaustion and recommended vitamin pills to help him recover in time for the concert.

Back at the dorm, Taehyung knew he needed to take the pills, but he hated the idea of swallowing them. He had always disliked taking medicine, even as a child. However, he also knew that his fellow members, like a second family to him, would insist he take them.

The next morning, Jin asked if Taehyung had taken his pill. With a smile, Taehyung agreed, but in reality, he had discreetly thrown the pill away.

As they sat down for breakfast, he felt slightly better. He assured them he was fine, not wanting to cause any concern. They finished breakfast and then the group headed to the massive arena where their concert was to take place.

Taehyung's condition seemed to have improved, but to his luck, it took a turn for the worse. Dizziness overcame him, and he stumbled, struggling to keep his balance. The other members immediately rushed to his side, helping him sit down. Jin asked him with concern, "Taehyung, did you take your second pill already?"

Taehyung, feeling increasingly unwell, hesitated but then admitted, "I didn't even take the morning one."

"You didn't take them!" Jungkook yelled. He was not angry but worried and questioned why he didn't take the pill.

The members exchanged worried glances, and the reality of the situation sank in. Taehyung had been avoiding the medication meant to help him recover, putting himself and the concert at risk.

They knew they had to find a way to convince him to take the pills for the  upcoming performance. Hoseok took a deep breath and addressed Taehyung gently. "Tae, you have to take those pills. We're all worried about you, and if you're not at your best, it could affect the entire concert. Please, for us?"

Taehyung looked at Hoseok and  mumbled, "I just can't stand pills. I never could." Namjoon was the next to speak up, "Taehyung, we understand that you don't like taking pills, but this is for your health. Think about  ARMY who's been waiting for us. We can't let them down."

Jimin added, "Tae, we're here for you. Just trust us and take the medicine. It's for your own good." The members rallied around Taehyung, their concern evident in their eyes. He sighed and nodded, finally giving in. Jimin helped him to take the prescribed pill, washing it down with a glass of water. As the medication went down, he felt a sense of relief wash over him.

They went together on stage, singing their soul out.
