"Hurry up guys, our performance is next!" Hoseok shouted as they ran backstage.

"Hyung, don't worry, we'll do great, we've practiced a lot." Jimin reassured as they got ready.

"I know, but we shouldn't be late or else ARMY will be disappointed." Hoseok spoke.

"Well, then, let's go to our individual lifts and start the performance." Namjoon said, the seven of them gather in their circle and do their chant before rushing off to their respective places.

-

As Jeongguk stood at his stage lift, he heard footsteps and the MC's voice directly above him.

And suddenly, out of nowhere, he heard a grunt from above him, Jeongguk looked up and saw that someone was about to fall.

Quickly, he stood in a way that would help him catch the person before they fell. And luckily, he was able to catch the person, who turned out to be the MC for the award show, Kim Sungjoo.

"Oh thank you so much for saving me!" Sungjoo said, "You're such an angel, thank you so much! I owe you my life!" He exclaimed.

Jeongguk let out a nervous and awkward chuckle, "Oh, it wasn't much, Sungjoo-ssi." He spoke. "Are you injured, though?" He asked with concern.

"No, no, I'm fine. Thank you so much again." Sungjoo replied.

"You don't have to thank me so many times, Sungjoo-ssi. That's the least I could do." Jeongguk said.

"Well, you saved my life and I can't thank you enough for that." Sungjoo spoke.

Just then, the stage operators told them that the lift was going up.

"I better get going, I know you'll do amazing, Jeongguk. Good luck. And thank you once again." Sungjoo said and then disappeared backstage.

Jeongguk sighed and then took a deep breath and got ready for his performance.

-

Throughout the performance, Jeongguk kept wincing and clutching his left shoulder, he found himself unable to lift his left hand sometimes during the performance but he shrugged it off and gave it his all while performing.

"Jeongguk-ah, is something wrong?" Hoseok asked as the performance ended and they returned backstage.

"No, why would anything be wrong, hyung?" Jeongguk responded.

"Because I caught you wincing a lot of times throughout the performance, are you alright?" Hoseok questioned.

"Yeah, I'm totally fine, hyung." Jeongguk answered with a reassuring smile.

"Okay, if you say so, Gguk." Hoseok spoke and went to change out of his stage clothes.

-

As the days progressed, the pain in Jeongguk's shoulder began to hurt more and more, to the point where he couldn't even move it without whimpering.

"Jeongguk, seriously, are you okay?" Yoongi asked as they sat down to rest after an intense dance practice.

"Yes, hyung, I'm okay." Jeongguk replied.

"Are you sure, because 'okay' people don't wince that much while lifting their arm." Namjoon said.

"Hyungs, I'm fine, really." Jeongguk spoke, "Don't worry about it."

"Alright, but if anything's wrong, tell us immediately, okay?" Yoongi said.

Jeongguk hummed.

-

"Okay, enough is enough, Gguk-ah, I'm taking you to the hospital tomorrow." Seokjin declared.

"But hyung, I'm f-"

"No, Jeongguk, this has been going on for too many days and it's worsening every passing day." Seokjin spoke, "You're not fine, there's clearly something wrong with your shoulder, and we have to figure it out."

"Hyung, no hospitals, please." Jeongguk pleaded, making sure to give his hyung his best puppy eyes.

"That doesn't work on me, young man." Seokjin said, "You're going to the doctor tomorrow, whether you like it or not." He ordered.

Jeongguk pouted and slumped down on the couch, knowing that there was no use fighting his hyung.

-

Jeongguk decided to check what was actually wrong with his shoulder that night and lifted up his sleeve to check, only to find his shoulder slightly swollen.

He sighed, that couldn't be good.

Maybe he should go to the hospital tomorrow.

-

"Jeongguk-ah, come on, get up and get ready, we're going to the hospital!" Seokjin announced, barging into his room.

"Hyung...just five more minutes." Jeongguk whined.

"You can sleep in the car, come on, let's get going." Seokjin spoke, pulling the blanket off him.

Jeongguk whined but got up anyway.

"And my breakfast?" Jeongguk asked.

"I've packed it, you can eat in the car." Seokjin answered, picking up his car keys.

"Yoongi hyung? You're coming too?" Jeongguk asked as he saw Yoongi standing near the front door.

"Yeah, kid." Yoongi replied.

The three of them got in the car and Seokjin began driving to the hospital.

-

"You're friend here, got himself a shoulder sprain." The doctor informed, "He got lucky that it isn't anything too serious and will be okay with some icing and rest." He spoke.

The two oldest nodded.

"I've written some painkillers just in case the pain gets too much." The doctor added.

"Okay, thank you, doctor." Seokjin said, bowing, Yoongi followed and then the two oldest left the room along with Jeongguk.

-

"So, Jeongguk, mind telling us how you got this injury?" Hoseok asked as Jeongguk sat on the couch, surrounded by his hyungs as if he was getting interrogated.

"Well, uh...you know the MC of our award show?" Jeongguk began, "Well, he accidentally fell into my lift before our performance and I caught him, but I think I sprained my shoulder while doing that." He answered.

"Oh wow! Our Jeonggukkie! A superhero!" Jimin exclaimed.

Jeongguk beamed.

"Okay, okay, enough of saving lives, maknae, you're not going to dance practice for the next week." Hoseok ordered, "You're staying at the dorm."

"What? Why?" Jeongguk whined.

"Because, if you put any more stress on that shoulder of yours, it'll need surgery." Namjoon answered.

Jeongguk pouted, "I guess that's right..." He sighed.

"Good, we know you'd listen." Seokjin spoke.

-

The next week, the members took turns to stay behind at home with Jeongguk, taking care of him until his shoulder was back to normal.

And for the maknae? It was the best week for him, his hyungs were showering him with all the adoration, love and care anyone could ask for.
