Chapter: Two

AUTHORS P.O.V
It's been six months since the group was formed. Everyone was getting along so well, they may have had some misunderstandings, but talked it out properly and made up fast. However, there are two who look up at each other, but become too shy to approach one another.

As morning came, everyone was preparing to head to the company to work on their debut album. Everyone checking up with each other. The group felt something was wrong, so being the oldest, Jin spoke up. 
"Jungkookie, are you alright?" He asked, looking at the youngest, even going as far as scanning him from head to toe, searching to see if he could guess the problem. He realized that the youngest's ears were reddening, and he was sweating a lot. 
"You look sick, are you okay?" He approached the younger one and checked his temperature.
"You have fever! Why didn't you tell us sooner?" He scolded Jungkook as he sighed. 
"I wanna work with you guys." The maknae answered as his hyungs shook their heads in unison.
"No! Jungkook, you're staying here to rest for the day." Yoongi said as the others agreed. "Someone should stay with you. We can't leave you alone." Hoseok spoke, worried about Jungkook. 
"Hobi's right. Jimin, stay with Jungkook. We'll take care of the rest of the work today" Namjoon decided, being the leader he is. Jimin was shocked, but still nodded. 
"Come here Jungkook-ah!" Taehyung spoke softly, pulling the youngest back to their room.
"Go change back into your pajamas." Taehyung commands gently as the younger just obeyed.
"There you go!" Taehyung gently pushed him back in his bed. 
"Go and sleep some more. We'll be back before dinner." Taehyung said as the younger just nodded, not wanting to speak anymore because of a headache.

The rest left while Jungkook went back to sleep. Jimin went out of the bathroom after changing back to a comfortable clothes. He look at the younger one and sighed. 
"He's working so hard that he didn't notice he was abusing himself already. Poor Gukkie." he mumbled to himself and went to check the maknae's temperature. 
"Still too hot." He thought, so he then went to the kitchen and comes back with  warm water in a small basin and towel, he bent down and softly wiped the youngest's exposed skin for a couple of minutes before taking a cold compress and putting it on Jungkook's forehead. He took his phone and sent a message to someone. When he finished, he sat beside Jungkook, checking on him every 10 minutes. An hour later, someone knocked at the door. Jimin stood up and opened it, knowing it's one of their manager. 
"Hyung-nim." 
"Here's what you asked me to get. Porridge, bibimbop and paracetamol."  Their manager said, handing him a black plastic bag. 
"Thanks hyung! How are the others?"  He asked, worried. 
"They're good but worrying." The manager answered. 
"Tell them he's fine. The fever went down." Jimin said as the manager patted his shoulder in gratitude. 
"Good job Jimin. I'll gotta go now. There's still some things I need to do at the company. Message me if you need anything." The manager praised as Jimin nodded and bowed. 
"Thanks hyung!" Jimin replied and he went inside to prepare the food. After preparing the food, he softly woke up Jungkook. 
"Kookie-ah! Wake up. You need to eat so you can drink the medicine and feel better later on." He whispered as the other boy groaned. 
"Come on Kookie-ah! You really need this so you'll get better fast." The mochi said as the other looked at him. 
"Hyung, my head hurts so much." The younger whined softly. 
"This is why you need to eat, so you can drink the medicine and the pain will go away." The older one explained as the younger one nodded slowly and sat up. Jimin smiled softly and took the food. 
"Here have some porridge" Jimin offered, showing him the food. 
"I'll eat on my ow-" Jungkook spoke, before Jimin interrupted him firmly. 
"No! I'm here to take care of you, so I'll feed you!" The oldest explained stubbornly. 
"But hyung I ca-" Jimin refused to give up.
"I said no. Here just eat!" The older one strictly said, making the maknae shut up and obey. 
"See, it's not like you'll die if you get fed by someone else." Jimin said, while he slowly fed the boy in front of him. He didn't stop until the food was finished. 
"How was it?"  Jimin asked, putting the things they used at the sink. He grabbed the medicine and water that he had set aside earlier. 
"Here! Drink." Jimin softly commanded, handing the medicine and water to Jungkook. The maknae accepted them, taking the medicine and drinking the water without arguing. 
"Good! You can go back to sleep now, if you want." Jimin softly spoke, leaving Jungkook on his own for a bit. He went to the kitchen to clean up. When he finished, he went back to the room, only to find the other boy asleep.  He smiled a little and wished that the younger one would wake up feeling better. Jimin headed towards his bed and rested for a bit.

A few hours later, the others came back and saw Jungkook walking out the bathroom. 
"Kook-ah! Are you feeling well now?" Jin asked . Jungkook smiled and nodded. 
"Yep! Jiminie hyung is a good nurse. Speaking of him, please be quiet. Jiminie hyung is sleeping. He probably got tired from taking care of me." The youngest said, chuckling softly as the others just smiled at him and nodded.
