BTS Sickfics

Seokjin Drowns

Seokjin's POV -

It's finally summer, and that means summer break for BTS! We very rarely get a break, but when we do, we still tend to stick together. We have a small holiday planned at a resort in South Busan, so Jungkook and Jimin are extra excited. The boys have just finished packing the car, ready to go, while Yoongi goes around the house one more time to make sure that all windows and doors are locked, and that everything is definitely turned off. It's time to go.

It's a long way to Busan from Seoul, with lots of slow city driving, so we're heading off super early. Most of Bangtan fall asleep in the car, leaving just me, Jungkook - who's driving - and Hoseok awake.

"What are you most looking forward to?" I ask.

Jungkook turns down the radio for us to talk. "I think ... maybe being away from the cameras a little. I want to eat things that I like without a camera being shoved in my face while I do it."

Hoseok nods in approval. "Yeah. That'll be nice. I think I'm looking forward to having a sea view again."

"I don't know how close to the sea we'll be," I say, trying to pull up a map of the place we're going there, but it won't load, the data too slow when on the motorway. "Maybe don't get your hopes up."

"The actual resort might not overlook the sea, but we'll be close enough to walk! I can't wait to feel the heat and the sand under my feet, and I can't wait to paddle in the sea ..."

"Like you'd go near the sea!" Jungkook laughs, pushing Hoseok a little. "You're even terrified of the feeling of seaweed!"

Hoseok pouts a little. "Don't tease me ..."

Jungkook pushes him again, then punches his arm in affection. "Hyuuung! Don't take it so personal! It's only a joke."

"I think I'll enjoy that too. I'll walk you to the beach, Hoseokie," I say. Hoseok blushes violently, and the conversation fizzles out. Jungkook turns the radio back up, playing songs that we all love, despite the sleeping boys having earphones in.

In the next hour, Namjoon wakes up with travel sickness, so Jungkook pulls into a service station. Hoseok guides him to the toilets, while the rest of us wake up and stretch our legs. I see Yoongi sitting on the side of the pavement, staring at his reflection grimly in the car paint.

"What's wrong?" I ask, sitting next to him. "You feeling nauseous? Namjoon is sick too so it's okay ... you can go."

"It's not that," says Yoongi, resting his chin on his hands. "It's just ... hyung? I want to tell you something, but I know that I'm going to sound silly."

I settle a little closer, starting to frown a little. "What is it? You know you can tell me anything."

"It's ... It's the pool. I just ... you know I'm scared of water, and I just ... I don't want to be the only one who won't be taking part just because I'm scared."

I shush him gently, pulling him into a hug. "Oh honey ... don't worry about it. You know that none of the Bangtan members will leave you out. None of us are really strong swimmers, so I don't think we'll be spending much time at the pool anyway."

"Yeah, I know ... but when you are playing in the pool, what will I do then?"

"Do something you want to do. Even though we're going on holiday together we won't be spending every waking moment glued to each other. Just do what you want to, it's only gonna be a short break and I don't want you to spend it worrying and sulking."

Yoongi pulls away from me a little, not really liking my tone.

"Yoongi ... you know I hate swimming too. I'm not gonna let you feel left out, I promise."
