A World of His Own

Chapter 7.

[Uneasy]

"I say we need to take him to the hospital."

The members are now gathered in the living room to discuss the bathroom incident. This is the first time it happened and no one knows what to do and whether they can do what they think they should do.

"But Jungkook-ah, don't you think it will only create more problems? Taehyung has said it himself in the interview that he used to hate himself? If this goes out everyone would automatically comfirm their suspicion of Taehyung still hating himself." Namjoon knows going to a hospital is a right decision as Taehyung's older brother, but as BTS' leader, he knows that this would cause bigger problems.

"Damn we can call them to cut that part out and edited it! Taehyung needs hospital Joon-ah, he was freezing and he still is! Look his entire body is trembling and we've already wrapped him in a blanket," says Jin anxiously.

"Shit! You know what, fine. Let's go to a hospital." Namjoon picks Taehyung up and carries him bridal style; the members are following from behind. Namjoon placed Taehyung on the middle seat with Yoongi and Jin, whereas the maknae line in on the back and Hoseok is on the passanger seat. Namjoon drives to the hospital as fast as he can without getting them into a car accident.

Taehyung slowly opens his eyes and is immediately confused by his surrounding. The only thing he can feel is cold. "Hyung," he whispred through his rattling teeth.

Yoongi is the first one to notice, "Taehyung-ah, it's okay. You're gonna be okay," he says. Trying his hardest to reassure himself more than Taehyung. He could've sworn his body trembles as much as Taehyung's.

"Hyung, it's cold. Why is it cold? Oh, where am I? Why am I here?" Taehyung is diving deeper and deeper into confusion. He feels even more tired from all the shivering.

"You were standing under the cold shower for so long, remember? You keep shivering, so we are taking you to a hospital." Yoongi explained as calmly as he could. Although he feels like scolding Taehyung for his rash and careless action, Yoongi knows best to stay calm under this kind of situation.

"Hyung, it's tiring and painful. Hyung will I be washed off by the rain too? At this point, has my entire life become a mistake?"

Jin chokes on his tears as he tries his best not to cry. 'Damn it! Had I called him a second earlier, had I checked on him a second earlier! None of this would happen!' he thought. He gritted his teeth and fisted his palms. On their way to the hospital nobody makes a sound, everyone is silently praying for Taehyung's health.

Just a couple of minutes before arriving to the hospital, Taehyung has stopped shivering. The members breaths out a sigh of relief thinking Taehyung's health has taken a turn for the better. Until Taehyung looks around and with the same confusion or even more, he asks.

"Where am I going and why am I here?"

***

It's a moderate hypothermia. The doctor told them Taehyung is suffering from a moderate hyporthemia. Listening to the situation from Namjoon, Mr.Smith, the doctor, has made a conclusion that Taehyung originaly started from a mild hypothermia. Shivering and mental confussion when it is gradually worsen to the stage of moderate hypothermia. Moderate hypothermia is a state where the patient has stopped shaking but started being more confused. Taehyung needs intravenous fluid (IV) treatment. He needs to be wrapped in warm clothes and to be fed more warm drinks like warm water or tea.

"So you're saying Taehyung got worse on his way here to this hospital?" asks Namjon using a fluent English.

Mr.Smith nods, "that's right. Had you stayed at home and continued enveloping him in warmth, it wouldn't go to a moderate state."
