"i'm sorry jungkook but it's just not good enough, i get that you're stressed with school but you need to work harder in dance. you're not turning up on time, you've gained weight, and you always look fed up. if you don't change i'm going to have to reconsider your role as one of our main dancers. i've been thinking about replacing you with taehyung for a while actually. sort it out."

the words that bang pd had said to the maknae earlier that day are still ringing in his ears. was he really slacking off that much? he's not been on top of his game recently sure, but he thought he still doing okay - not that bad at least. has bang pd really been wanting to replace him for a while? the thought of being demoted makes him shiver.

the whole speech had really messed him up, and made him start looking at himself...differently.

"hyung, do you think i'm getting fat?" jungkook asked taehyung, who he considered to be his best friend.

"not at all kook... you look healthy. why? who told you that?"

"oh just-" jungkook paused, wondering what he should say.

"saw some comments online" he sighed.

"don't listen. i think you're perfect." he smiled,

jungkook sighed. at least someone thinks he's perfect.

"jungkook, come on, eat something"
jin pleaded, knowing the maknae hadn't eaten anything that day.

"hyung, if i eat now i'll be sick during practice.  - i'll eat when we come home okay?"

all seven boys were at dance practice, preparing themselves for a gruelling five hour rehersal. everyone was dreading it, but jungkook more so than the others.

he hadn't eaten in more than two days, determined to lose weight and make the ceo happy.

it was the first dance practice since he was grilled by bang pd - so he knew that he had to give it his all, even if that means pushing himself a little too hard.

"jungkook, seriously?! that's the 6th time you've messed up that step. my five year old son could do that! what's up with you?"

practice was not going well. at all. jungkook's body was under so much stress that he wasn't preforming well and everyone was staring to get a bit sick of him.

"take 5, get some water" said their choreographer, before leaving the room to get a drink for himself.

"jungkook-ah, please come rest - you look pale."

"i need to keep practicing, you heard the choreographer!" he cried exasperatedly. he ignored the protests in the back and put the music back on, moving his body instantly to the beat of the song - but it didn't feel right, he didn't feel right.

jungkook was getting increasingly more lightheaded as the song dragged on. his knees kept getting weaker and his vision all the more blurry then the music sounded strange. like it was being played underwater.

his body felt so heavy. his chest started to heave. something was seriously wrong with jungkook. but before he could do anything his body fell to the floor like a tonne of bricks. the music stopped.

"fuck, i knew that would happen" yoongi stated before running up towards jungkook - but jin pushed in front.

"jk, wake up please, hyung needs to give you water." jin fussed. there was nothing but silence at first, but then came a feeble whine from the crumpled heap on the floor.

jungkook opened his eyes briefly, but shut them right away when the studio lights burned into his already thumping head.

"tae, turn the lights down"

it took a few seconds of convincing, but soon the youngest looked up into jin's eyes. he had a pained expression painted across his face.

"hey koo, how are you feeling?" the eldest asked, kneeling over him.

"don't feel well" jungkook slurred, still laying down on the floor.

the hyungs managed to get him to sit up and drink some water. by this point the choreographer was back.

"jungkook, up off the floor please, we have work to do" he said sternly, barely sparing him a glance.

jungkook sniffed and wiped his eyes, trying to get off the floor much too fast, he bowed deeply and spluttered out "sorry choreographer-nim, i just-"

"he fainted" yoongi jumped in "we need to take him home"

"no. he can finish today at least - he needs all the practice he can get." choreographer-nim sighed, walking over to the speaker in the corner. he pressed play on the speaker and yelled, "5,6,7,8!"

but when he turned around, the practice room was empty

and bangtan were nowhere to be seen.

"sorry kookie, this road is pretty bumpy. your poor head." jin cooed, stroking his hair gently.

the boys had managed to get jungkook in the car - he had his feet up on the seat and had his head on jin's lap. yoongi was sat in the front and taehyung was driving -

the maknae was still pretty out if it - he was drifting in and out of consciousness, but jin had to keep him awake in order to get some food in him.

once he ate, then he could sleep.

x

"please hyung, i'm tired and i feel sick - i just wanna sleep" jungkook's eyes turned glassy as he stared down at the piece of toast, jin felt a tug on his heart, but he needed food - so he couldn't give up yet.

jungkook was persistent, blatantly refusing to eat, and that's when jin realized that there might be something else underlying here.

jin took a deep breath, "kook, is there another reason you're not eating? has someone said something to you?"

"i'm just... not... hungry." jungkook sobbed out, jin knew it- someone had hurt him. poisoned his young mind.

"oh baby, what happened. who said these things to you?" jin questioned, cuddling him from behind.

jungkook just shook his head, crying into jin's arms.

"listen kook, you gotta tell us okay? we can sort this." yoongi spoke, walking in the kitchen freshly showered - wearing sweatpants and a hoodie.

it took a lot more coaxing, more sweet nothings, more tender kisses.

in a tiny voice, jungkook spoke:

"bang pd."

yoongi was enraged to say the least - their own ceo saying that shit to the youngest member? he was gonna chew his ear off later on. but there's no time for that now. there's a jungkook to attend to.

jin managed to finally get him to have some toast and a glass of water, then he scooped him up and put him in his bed - before removing his shirt and changing him into some shorts.

jin got changed too and then climbed into bed with jungkook.

it was around five minuets of comfortable silence before yoongi came into his and jin's shared room. yoongi was about to climb into his own bed before jin intervened.

"hey yoon, come sleep here tonight - i think jungkook wants you"

yoongi smiled softly and shuffled over to jin's bed - climbing in.

"i'll speak to bang pd tomorrow kook, he should never have told you all those lies. you're our golden maknae okay?"

jungkook only nodded, snuggling in between the two of them. no matter what, he knows he'll always have his beloved hyungs.
