A Tired Body

When Yoongi woke up later in the morning, he saw that Seokjin was also awake and staring at the wall with his head resting on his knees.

After stretching his body, Yoongi got up. "Good Morning hyung. When did you wake up?" He walked to the edge of his hyung's bed and tilted his head down to see his face more properly but Seokjin looked away to the other side.

And the day went on like that, with Seokjin refusing to interact with anyone or move from his spot on the bed. He didn't reject the comforting touches whenever a member came to try speaking to him but he didn't acknowledge their presence or words. Seokjin wasn't feeling well and wasn't really up for anything. His mind was blank most of the time, similar to the way his eyes were.

Falling asleep was something Seokjin was afraid of. The nightmares he had were haunting him whether he was awake or asleep and forgetting wasn't an option.

This time, when Jimin came with food in his hands, Seokjin didn't even glance at him. He wasn't hungry and had no appetite. The smell of the food had Seokjin's stomach rolling, it was nauseating, not nice to increase his appetite like Jimin wanted.

As Yoongi continued to observe his hyung from behind his new laptop, he noticed that Seokjin would look everywhere but not at the direction of the closet they shared. He noticed how tense he would become sometimes and heard him groan at whatever thoughts were running inside of his head.

The only times Seokjin moved were when he needed to use the bathroom or when part of his body went numb or sore. He refused to take his medicine by ignoring every member who attempted to convince him of taking just that. Seokjin was already tired and sleepy so taking his medication would instantly make him give in and put him to sleep which he was trying to avoid so hard.

At night, Yoongi stayed awake. He wanted to keep an eye on Seokjin and see if he would sleep at some point after figuring out that Seokjin must not have fallen asleep after what happened in the shower that morning.

Seokjin was giving Yoongi his back while the rapper was busying himself with his phone. Yoongi couldn't tell if his hyung had fallen asleep or not from the position he was in and his eyes kept on dropping but he focused them on Seokjin when he saw him sitting up on the bed with unsteady hands. He couldn't really see Seokjin's face with only the light of bedside lamp but he was instantly on his feet when he saw the position Seokjin was in.

As he approached him, it was easier to see how the sweat was sticking to his shirt as he slightly leaned down and hugged his stomach.

"Hyung. What's wrong?" Kneeling down, Yoongi placed his hand on Seokjin's back and slowly moved it up and down soothingly.

"What is hurting you? Your stomach?" Yoongi wanted his hyung to say something but all he got was a groan before Seokjin was standing up and rushing out of the room with his hand covering his mouth.

Barely a second after Seokjin entered the bathroom, Yoongi was kneeling next to him and rubbing his back as he started throwing up bile.

This lasted for a few more seconds until Seokjin was just sitting there on the floor and panting heavily.

"I'll be back in a second" Is what Yoongi said before rushing out to wake up Namjoon and accidentally Taehyung who was for some reason sleeping next to him.

Entering the bathroom again with a glass of slightly cold water, Yoongi found Seokjin leaning on the wall with his eyes closed and hand gripping his shirt tightly.

Yoongi brushed back Seokjin's sweaty bangs with his hand which he kept on Seokjin's burning cheek, wiping the few drops of salty water which had leaked from his eyes previously.
