Behind The Scenes: Book Two || Jihope

XXII: Sick

Jimin was not sure of what it was, but something had definitely changed in the little time they had had in between the MAMAs and the *MMA's. The light of the group seemed to be brighter and the atmosphere between them seemed to be a lot calmer as well. Even Jungkookie, who had been bitter during their stay in Hong Kong, now seemed to be as happy as ever. It was really nice for Jimin to see the maknae smiling. Now, if could just get rid of that dizzy feeling in his head, everything would be perfect.

After his enormous meal day and a really heavy diet in Hong Kong, Jimin got self conscious. He had worked hard on losing some pounds, he didn't want them back. Even if the doctor said he was underweight. Which he totally knew he wasn't. After having returned from their really successful trip to Hong Kong, Jimin resumed his diet. Only drinking water and avoiding all kinds of carbohydrates. Training a lot with or without the members and constantly looking at himself in the mirror to see if his efforts have been compensated.

Today, however, as the noona did his hair and make up for their stage at the Melon Music Awards, Jimin started to feel a little dizzy. His legs were getting weak and his hands felt dormant. However, he would have to forget about those because they were about to perform *Spring Day and he could not fail one bit.

He looked around the room to find Jin getting his mic prepared, Yoongi looking at his phone, Kookie and Tae sharing a joke together and Hobi getting his hair done next to him. The warm smile Hobi offered him when their eyes locked in the mirror was enough for Jimin to feel a lot better. Hoseok's smile could cure him from any bother. It was magical medicine and the one Jimin loved the most.

When they were ready, they were taken to the main stage. Jimin was feeling a lot better now, he was ready to perform. Still, he could not ignore the blurry sight his eyes caught when he looked down at his pale hands. It was a bit weird but ultimately he diminished it thinking that it had something to do with the contact lenses he was wearing. That's how Jimin just took a deep breath and walked up the stairs hearing the instructions clearly before the music for Spring Day started playing through his ear pieces...

As expected, their stage had been a huge success! After changing their clothes and returning to their seats, they were able to enjoy the rest of the ceremony. Even winning some of the awards, making them feel proud and happy.

By the time the award show was over, Jimin had completely forgotten about how dizzy he had feeling before. Which was good because since it was the Melon Gala, they had been allowed to stay at the after party to celebrate along with the other idols. It was always amazing to see old friends or make new ones. It was also good to get a little bit of interaction with other people, not that Jimin didn't adore his members, but spending so much time together with no breaks could sometimes be a little tough. Of course, getting some space was the healthiest thing to do for the seven of them.

After a few hours of partying and laughing, Jimin's dizziness returned. He wanted to think that it was due to the alcohol, but he had barely drunk a few cups. Definitely not enough to make him tipsy yet. Plus, this symptom was something Jimin knew very well. Typical consequence of his dieting habits. He had learned to ignore them, but tonight they were particularly strong. He needed to go home. Unfortunately, he could not find any of his members, not even Hoseok, who had excused himself to go to the bathroom just minutes ago.

Jimin waved at the two friends, that up until now, have been keeping him company and stood up ready to go find at least one of the Bangtan guys. The colored lights of the place were blinding and made him even dizzier. Not to mention that walking across the room, having to go through so many people was really uncomfortable. Jimin knew he needed to find someone really soon. He really needed to go home. Why wasn't anyone around? It seemed like all six of the guys had disappeared as he got worse by the second. Jimin was starting to feel desperate.
