Escape {Namjoon Hurtfic}

Escape.

Jin pulled the thermometer out of Namjoon's mouth. With a groan, he gave the bad news. "It's still at a steady 102F, Joonie." He stared down at his dongsaeng, whose hair was plastered all across his sweat drenched forehead.

Namjoon sighed as he looked at the thermometer, not believing he'd really gotten this sick on the groups vacation to a nearby island on their one break. "I'm sorry." He didn't know how it happened so quickly. Ever since after dinner the other night with the members, he'd come down with a really painful stomach bug. He'd been throwing up quite a lot and had the others extremely worried. Now his fever wouldn't break. Everyone spent the day in the hotel room with him the previous day, and now they were going on day two of their leader not feeling the slightest bit better.

Hobi walked over with a wet, cool wash cloth and placed it on Namjoon's forehead. "Don't apologize, Joonie-ah. It's not your fault. These things happen."

Yoongi was sitting on the edge of the bed, rubbing Namjoon's back. "I'm telling you it was that weird thing you got for dinner the other night. It's food poisoning, it has to be. You just had to be adventurous."

"Don't talk to him like that, it's not his fault the restaurant wasn't that good!" Jin lightly scolded Yoongi.

Jungkook walked in with some medicine Yoongi had picked up the night before. "Does he need more?" He walked up to Namjoon and wiped some of the sweat off his face. He felt absolutely terrible seeing his hyung so sick.

"Joon? You want more medicine?" Taehyung asked, he had been standing nearby with Jimin, watching the oldest hyungs take care of Namjoon.

Namjoon accepted the offer, but also knew the medicine was about to knock him out cold for the entirety of the day and it had already been pretty late. As he took some of the medicine he noticed everyone else was still in their pajamas and he instantly flooded with guilt.

"Guys...please don't stay in on my behalf. Go enjoy the vacation."

Jimin frowned. "We can't do that hyung. We can't just leave you here all alone while you're sick."

"Really, it's okay." Namjoon yawned, the medicine was kicking in rather quickly. Not quick enough, however, as he leaned over and got sick into the bed side trash can. Jin joined Yoongi in rubbing their dongsaengs back. "Ugh, my poor baby," the oldest sulked. They could both feel the heat radiating off of his body.

The leader tried encouraging them again to go out. "I really don't want this to deter your vacation. I'll feel guilty if you all stay cooped up here all because of me. It's our only time off. Please enjoy it. Don't suffer on my behalf."

"We wouldn't be suffering." Jimin felt bad that Namjoon felt bad. All of them were collectively feeling terrible seeing Namjoon be so sick.  A man who was always their pillar of strength being sick worried them and made them all wish they could trade places with him.

Namjoon clutched his stomach and pulled the covers up over him more.

"You're burning up, hyung. How can you wear a blanket?" Taehyung tugged on the blanket, trying to pull it down a bit so Namjoon's body could get some air.

"I'm freezing, Tae." Namjoon yanked the blanket back over himself.

"It will help him sweat the fever out," Yoongi added.

"Hyungie we really don't mind staying and taking care of you. Don't you want to be pampered? It's quite fun!" Jungkook smiled at all of his hyungs because as the youngest, he knew exactly how great it felt to be completely spoiled by the others.

Namjoon's eyes were now closed. "To be honest I'd really love to be left alone. I'll be asleep all day anyway. Don't waste your time here. Please go enjoy your day. I will still be here when you get back."
