Hate

chapter 4

2 hours later, Taehyung had managed to perfect every single dance move. As the music stopped, Taehyung collapsed on the floor, sweating and panting heavily. He just lay there for a few minutes until his breathing was normal. He weakly got up and headed out. It was night time already and it looked as if it was going to rain. Taehyung looked at the time.

1:30 am

"I shouldn't call them to pick me up" he said to himself. Their dorm (or should I say mansion) wasn't far away. So he started walking. The streets were quite, only a few cars were passing by. Tae's mind was clouded with thoughts.

Did I do enough today?
Will ARMY be proud of me?
Will the members be happy with me?
Will the haters stop?

He didn't even realize that it had started raining lightly. He started walking at a higher pace. Within a few minutes he was completely drenched. He shivered as cold wind started blowing.

"Great" he mumbled.

He reached the dorms and unlocked the door with his key. He just entered the house when he was scared out of his wits when he saw the members sitting on the couch, who all jolted up when they saw their second maknae enter the house.

"YAH KIM TAEHYUNG" Seokjin yelled.
"DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IS IT?" Jimin joined in. "Hyungs, Jungkook, I could've had a heart attack!!" They all laughed but tensed up when they saw that Tae was drenched in cold water. "Didn't I tell you to call us when you were done? Why didn't you then? You will catch a cold now!" Yoongi said, pointing at the drenched boy. "Ah I forgot Yoongi hyung sorry hehe" he said as he gave the members his boxy smile. "Now go change quick! Or you'll get sick" Namjoon said. "Then I'll give you the Bibimbap I made" Jin said, exited.

Taehyung froze.
"A-ah h-hyung I already ate! There was this Cafe nearby and I ate some snacks there... I'll eat the Bibimbap tommorow!" Tae said, trying his best to hide his lie. The members looked suspicious, but bought the lie. "Ok then, we are going to sleep. You go and change then sleep too. We have practice at 8am tommorow. Wake up on time" Hoseok said, patting Taehyung's head. "Ok hyungs, good night!" Tae said happily. The members smiled and disappeared into their rooms.

Taehyung lied. He didn't eat anything since this morning. His stomach kept grumbling. He looked over to the Bibimbap Jin made. He wanted to eat it so bad.

"No Tae, you can't. You have to get skinny" he warned himself and went to his room upstairs. He showered with hot water, changed into his PJs and plopped on his bed.

That's when the pain hit him.

His legs ached badly and his back too. His empty stomach hurt and he felt light headed.

"Ahhh ouchh hmmm" a pained groan escaped his lips as he clutched his stomach and curled up into a ball. He covered himself with the blanket. He still felt cold, as he got wet in the rain earlier.

"I hope I don't catch a fever" he thought as he closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.
