the 8th member | BTS [under editing]

fourteen

Jin quickly stood up from his chair, and the other members were shocked. They all stared at the youngest one in the group. Hanbyul sneezed once again before rubbing her nose with her sweater paws. The oldest one ran towards Hanbyul; he then ran his palm on her forehead, checking her temperature. He knew she would have a fever because of the wet clothes. 

"Ah .. she got a fever and flu .. this is not good. Her school will start in two days," Jin said weakly. He then gently pulled her to the dining table. Afterward, he made the youngest one sit on his seat before heading back to the kitchen to grab another bowl of rice and chopsticks.

Other members just looked at Hanbyul. Namjoon sighed softly as he caressed her hair, "Are you okay, Hanbyul? Jin hyung said you got a fever .." Namjoon continued stroking her hair. Hoseok instantly grabbed an empty mug to pour in water for her. He then hands her that mug. The girl just muttered a thank you. She was exhausted, hungry, thirsty, and sleepy and she even had a sore throat. Her body wasn't made for this, but her mind tells her otherwise. A girl who used to stay at home and play with her friends and grandparents sometimes needs to be dependent. A sudden change, and hopefully, she could adapt to it. 

Yoongi rubbed her back soothingly, and her clothes were still damp, "It's .. okay .. it's fine .." He said. Soon later, Jin came back with the rice and chopsticks. "Eat .. you will .. mm .. wait .. strong .. yeah." She chuckled lightly as she grabbed the spoon to pick up some rice.

Hanbyul tried to swallow the rice and then put a spoon of soup into her mouth. It was bland. Everything tasted the same. Tears started pooling in her eyes as suddenly they fell on her cheeks. "Hanbyul? Why are you crying?" Namjoon asked worriedly.

"Bland .. no taste .. hmmm .. no good .. mmm." She started to tear up more while others panicked as well. Hanbyul just muttered bland(s) over and over while hiccuping. "W-What should we do??" Hoseok stood up in his panic mode. Jin couldn't hide his panic, so he wandered around the dining table. Meanwhile, Namjoon began to search for some salt in the kitchen, he came back, but no one knew he brought sugar, not salt.

Jungkook stared at Hanbyul, and sometimes he rubbed her back, making the girl feels good, but she just cried more instead. Her head feels like it will explode soon. The entire room's temperature was popping hot. Yoongi kept eating more, trying to ignore them but sometimes couldn't help himself but try to calm others down since their panicking was too loud.

"O-Ohh, I found salt .. Jin hyung, put this into her food, Hanbyul .. don't cry, okay? Hyung will help you," Namjoon said to comfort the girl more, but she just cried over and over. No one knew, but Jungkook hated this situation, the youngest member was trying to get all their attention, and he got nothing.

Her cries began louder as her head hurt super severely. Jungkook suddenly slammed his fist on the table, which startled the girl and Yoongi, who were eating. "Shut up!" Hanbyul stared at him for a good second before starting to cry again. Yoongi just shook his head, hormonal teenagers- he thought.

"Hungry .. mhmm ... hyung is bad! ... bland food .. can't taste anything ..." She whined loudly, which made the second youngest's blood boil. "Hanbyul .. the food is already okay. Let's eat, okay?" Namjoon said gently as he tried to feed the youngest member. She suddenly stopped crying as she opened her mouth, taking in the food. The rest of the members finally could calm down.

After a few spoons of more rice and soup, she was full. Hanbyul shook her head towards Jimin, who was feeding her the food. Taehyung, who sat beside Jimin, hands her a glass of water. Today's lunch was chaotic. After she had a massive tantrum, almost everyone changed their seats, letting Jimin and Taehyung feed her.

"Good girl!" Taehyung said gently as he patted her head. Jimin snarled at him, "Tae, she's not a puppy .. don't do that." Taehyung scoffed loudly and continued patting her head gently.
