It was a typical bustling morning for the members of BTS. The city outside was just waking up as the sun began to crest over the horizon, but inside their hotel suite, it was already a flurry of activity. Hairdryers roared, makeup brushes swept across faces, and the scent of fresh coffee mingled with the faint remnants of breakfast.

Yoongi had woken up feeling off. He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but there was a dull ache at the back of his head that he couldn't shake. He chalked it up to fatigue. After all, they had been pushing hard for weeks now, traveling from city to city on their world tour. He didn't want to worry the others, so he plastered on a smile and went about his morning routine as best he could.

Jin was in the kitchen, preparing breakfast for everyone. "Yoongi-ah, are you ready for today's show?" he called out, his voice full of its usual warmth.

Yoongi nodded, though he knew Jin couldn't see him from where he stood. "Yeah, Hyung, just a bit tired," he replied, hoping that would suffice.

"Make sure you eat something," Jin said, a hint of concern creeping into his voice. "You need your strength for tonight."

As the members gathered for breakfast, laughter and light-hearted banter filled the room. Jin was telling a story about their recent trip to the beach, making everyone laugh with his animated expressions.

“Remember when Taehyung almost lost his slippers in the waves?” Jin said, chuckling.“Hey! Those were my favorites!” Taehyung protested, but he was laughing too.

Yoongi smiled at the memory but couldn’t bring himself to join in the conversation as he usually would. He picked at his food, his mind elsewhere.

Jungkook, always observant despite his playful nature, noticed Yoongi’s unusual silence. “Hyung, you okay? You seem a bit quiet today,” he asked, his voice full of concern.

Yoongi quickly put on a reassuring smile. “Yeah, I’m fine. Just a little tired, that’s all,” he replied, hoping that would be enough to satisfy Jungkook’s curiosity.

The younger member didn’t push further, though he continued to glance at Yoongi every now and then, still worried.

The day progressed with the usual hustle and bustle that comes with concert preparations. Sound checks, wardrobe fittings, and last-minute rehearsals kept everyone busy. Yoongi threw himself into the work, hoping the distraction would help shake off the lingering unease he felt. He didn’t want to let his discomfort get in the way of their performance.

The dull ache in Yoongi's head didn't dissipate. It lingered, like a shadow he couldn't escape. But he pushed it to the back of his mind. The show must go on, as they say. He kept up with the others, laughing and joking as they made their way to the venue, but inside, he was fighting a losing battle with his own body.

Backstage at the concert venue, the atmosphere was electric. The sound of fans cheering could be heard even from behind the thick walls. The adrenaline was palpable as the members geared up for the night's performance. They had done this a thousand times before, but each concert still brought with it a unique mix of excitement and nerves.

Yoongi sat quietly in a corner, trying to focus. He closed his eyes and took deep breaths, willing the pain in his head to subside. It felt like someone was slowly tightening a vice around his skull. He pressed his fingers against his temples, hoping to massage away the discomfort.

Hoseok noticed Yoongi's silence. "Hey, you okay Yoongi Hyung?" he asked, sitting down next to him. "You look a bit pale."

Yoongi forced a smile. "Just a headache, Hoba. It'll pass."
