BTS 8th Member [HIATUS]

LOSS

It's the first time that they're traveling out of the country. But not for promotions or work, for Byeol. She recently found out that her father passed away. Her parents live in New York, letting her travel alone to Korea to debut as an idol.

"You guys don't have to come, you know?" she said. But the guys shook their heads. "You're our little sister, so we have to." Jimin said. There were cameras everywhere, taking pictures whenever they got the chance to.

At one point, Byeol was seen leaning against Yoongi. Fansites didn't know what the reason for their travel was, assuming that they were going to film something. And they also thought Byeol was just tired, her sunglasses on.

"How are you feeling?" Yoongi asked, slightly turning his head to look at Byeol. "I'm alright.." the young girl trailed off. She hadn't slept last night, barely eating after the news.

Soon, their flight was called and they boarded the plane, smiling and waving at the fans. Once on the plane, Byeol sat beside Jungkook. "Eat something." Jungkook said. Byeol, already being slim, had lost weight due to promotions and even more due to being worried about her mother's well-being.

And she did eat. She ate what she could at the moment, knowing she would eat more later. "Byeol-ah, drink." Jin said, handing the young female a fruit juice that went along with her meal, fruit.

The group landed in New York after almost 15 hours on a plane. Immediately they were taken to a hotel, where Byeol had to eat more. Yoongi went directly to bed, followed by the other members as they were jet lagged.

Instead of going to bed after eating, Byeol talked to her mom. Nothing of this trip was filmed, the staff respecting Byeol's privacy. But if the news were to be told publicly, Byeol would do it when she felt like it.

As soon as they stepped foot inside the airport, cameras began flashing and fans started mobbing them. The members made a circle around Byeol, keeping fans away from her as they acted like bodyguards.

"Watch your step." they kept all muttering to each other, holding onto whoever was close to them. At one point, Byeol lost her balance as she grew dizzy. This led to the boys grabbing hold of her arms, wrist, hand or waist. A few fans made a barrier around them as they got Byeol to a van where she would be taken to the hospital.

BTS_twt Kim Byeol would not be attending future events with the group as she will be hospitalized due to being extremely underweight. We apologize for this.

"Hello, we are Bangtan!" the group bowed as they introduced themselves to the fans. This was their first fansign after returning from New York and after Byoel was hospitalized a few days before.

"How's Byeol unnie?" a fan asked. She was holding a sign with Byeol's face and name, along with some flowers. "She's getting better. We were with her before this and she wanted us to tell you not to worry." Namjoon said.

The boys smiled at each fan that greeted them, answering question and noticing fansites. Then Jungkook pulled out his phone, calling someone. "Is there anyone you want to see?" he asked the fans.

"Luna!" they yelled. Jungkook, a big smile plastered on his face, turned his phone around, Byeol on the screen. "ARMY!!" Byeol yelled, waving through the screen. "Are you having fun?" she asked.

"Yes!" the fans yelled back. "Are you eating?" they asked her. Jin had placed a microphone near the speaker, so that the whole room could hear Byeol. "Yes, but it's hard to eat without stopping." she said.

"Please get well!" the fans yelled and Jungkook said goodbye to Byeol. "She'll be back soon, so please don't worry." Taehyung said. The boys were really close to Byeol, their facial expressions changing as they heard Byeol's voice.

The boys stayed back to help clean up the room they used for the fansign when they heard a door creak open. "Hey guys, you hungry?" It was Byeol, still looking as thin as before but her aura was brighter

"Did you know?" 6 of the member turned to look at Jungkook, who just shrugged. The boys helped Byeol put the food down and then immediately hugged her. "Are you back for real?" Jin asked, grabbing a chair for her.

"I have to go back soon. But they told me I could come back in a week or so." she answered as she distributed the food. They ate silently in a circle, knees touching as they shared a few bites.

Then they each went their ways. "I'll see you soon!" Byeol said, making a heart with her hands as she looked at each of her members. Byeol was taken to the hospital as soon as she got in the van.

"Please stay here." Byeol's manager told her, a bodyguard staying with her. Her manager was gone for a few moments before she returned, cards and flowers in her hands. "Please follow me." she said, and Byeol did.

"We are seeing progress is your health, a minor weight gain. Here is a list of foods that will help you gain more. I suggest you stay over 100 pounds, a safer weight. But if we see your health start to decline, we will recommend a higher weight." the doctor explained, handing everything needed to Byeol.

"So I'm free to go?" she asked, still in shock. It was such a short time in the hospital, but Byeol knew how to take care of herself, she had just let herself go for almost a week. "Thank you. I'll surely gain weight."

Byeol was then taken to the front of the hospital, where fans stood in the cold as they waited for Byeol. "Please go home and drink hot chocolate!" Byeol yelled as she smiled and waved, cameras flashing.
