The studio lights blazed brightly as the audience cheered for the latest variety show featuring TXT. The members-Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Heuning Kai-stood on stage, ready for the day's challenges. The show had promised an exciting array of fear-provoking tasks, but with a reassuring assurance that everything was entirely safe.
The first few challenges were amusingly frightening but harmless: pretending to be trapped in an escape room, walking across a wobbly bridge, and encountering simulated haunted scenarios. The members, although slightly apprehensive, were handling these tasks with a mix of bravery and humor. The audience was thrilled, and the show was going off without a hitch.
But then came the challenge that had everyone nervous: Kai was to lie in a box filled with snakes for two minutes. The production team had assured the members that the snakes were non-venomous and perfectly safe. The statement was supposed to calm any lingering concerns, but as Kai prepared for the challenge, a wave of anxiety was evident on his face.
"Don't worry, Heuning. It's going to be okay," Soobin said, offering a supportive smile as Kai took a deep breath and climbed into the box. The lid was gently lowered, leaving Kai in the dimly lit, snake-filled container.
As the seconds ticked by, the audience watched with bated breath. Kai was doing well, his initial tension giving way to a more relaxed demeanor as he tried to stay calm. But then, about a minute into the challenge, a sudden commotion erupted from within the box. A sharp hiss and Kai's muffled scream pierced through the air.
The crew quickly opened the box, and Kai stumbled out, his face pale and his breathing ragged. The audience gasped as they saw him clutching his arm, which was visibly swelling and showing signs of a bite. Beomgyu rushed to his side, immediately supporting him as he staggered away from the stage.
"Kai, what happened?" Beomgyu asked, his voice filled with concern as he guided Kai to a nearby medical station set up for emergencies.
"I-I got bitten," Kai said, wincing as he was helped onto a stretcher. "One of the snakes... it bit me."
The medical team quickly took over, cleaning the wound and assessing the damage. The bite had caused a significant reaction, and Kai's condition began to deteriorate rapidly. He started feeling nauseous, and his skin took on an ashen hue.
"I don't feel so good," Kai mumbled, clutching his stomach. He suddenly lurched forward, his face contorted in pain, and began vomiting. Beomgyu, his face etched with fear, caught Kai in his arms, trying to offer comfort amidst the chaos.
"Kai! Hang in there," Beomgyu urged, his voice trembling as he wiped Kai's face with a towel. "We're getting you to the hospital right away."
Yeonjun and Soobin were already on the phone with the manager, explaining the situation urgently. The manager's voice was filled with shock and concern as he instructed them to take Kai to the nearest hospital.
"Get him to the hospital immediately," the manager said, his tone firm. "I'll deal with the variety show's producers and find out what went wrong."
Yeonjun and Soobin guided Kai and Beomgyu to the waiting van, where Kai was carefully loaded in. The atmosphere was tense as they made their way through the city streets, the urgency of the situation weighing heavily on everyone.
At the hospital, Kai was rushed into the emergency room. The medical team worked swiftly, performing tests and administering treatment to counteract the effects of the snake bite. Taehyun and Beomgyu remained by Kai's side, their faces a mixture of worry and hope.
In the waiting room, Yeonjun and Soobin were having a heated discussion with the variety show's producers over the phone. They were adamant that the show's assurances of safety had been a lie and demanded an explanation for the presence of a venomous snake on set.
"This is unacceptable!" Yeonjun's voice was filled with anger. "We were told that all the snakes were non-venomous. How could this happen?"
The producer on the other end stammered, "We... we didn't realize the snake was venomous. It was supposed to be a harmless prop. We're deeply sorry for the mistake."
Soobin took over the conversation, his voice cold and authoritative. "We expect a full investigation into how this happened. Our priority right now is Heuning Kai's health, and we will be seeking legal action if necessary."
After their conversation, Soobin and Yeonjun returned to the emergency room, their expressions grim but resolute. They approached Taehyun and Beomgyu, who were anxiously waiting for any news.
"How's Kai?" Soobin asked, his voice laced with concern.
"The doctors are still assessing the situation," Taehyun replied. "They're trying to stabilize him, but it's been really touch-and-go."
Yeonjun nodded, taking a deep breath. "We spoke to the producers. They're investigating how a venomous snake ended up on the set. We've made it clear that this is a serious issue, and we're considering legal action to ensure this doesn't happen again."
Beomgyu's eyes were red from tears, and he looked up at Yeonjun and Soobin with a mixture of gratitude and frustration. "Thank you for handling it. I just hope Kai is okay."
After what felt like an eternity, the door to the emergency room finally opened. The doctor emerged, looking serious but relieved. "Mr Heuning Kai is stable now," the doctor said. "We've treated the bite and are monitoring him closely. He should recover with time, but we'll need to keep him under observation for a while."
A wave of relief washed over the members, and Taehyun, Beomgyu, Soobin, and Yeonjun took a collective breath. They made their way into Kai's room, where he was lying in a hospital bed, looking pale but awake.
"Kai!" Beomgyu rushed to his side, taking Kai's hand in his own. "How are you feeling?"
Kai looked up, his eyes tired but grateful. "I'm okay now. Thanks for being here."
"Don't worry about anything else," Yeonjun said firmly. "We'll take care of everything. Just focus on getting better."
The members stayed with Kai, providing comfort and support as he rested. The ordeal had been frightening and exhausting, but the strength of their friendship had seen them through. They knew that the coming days would involve dealing with the fallout from the incident, but for now, their priority was Kai's recovery.
As the night wore on, the hospital room was filled with quiet conversations and soft laughter. The members took turns sitting by Kai's bedside, sharing stories and comforting each other. The incident had been a harsh reminder of how quickly things could go wrong, but it had also reinforced the bond between them.
Kai's recovery was gradual, but his spirits were lifted by the unwavering support of his friends. The variety show's producers issued a formal apology and agreed to a settlement, addressing the safety issues and promising changes to prevent future accidents.
In the end, the ordeal brought the members of TXT even closer together, their shared experience a testament to their strength and resilience. They emerged from the crisis with a renewed sense of unity and determination, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead with the knowledge that they had each other's backs.
