1. Taehyung: What is Sleep?

Tae's Pov

We had been super busy lately, and it was starting to wear down on all of us. You could tell, Jimin and I have argued more, JK won't leave our room when he doesn't have to and our hyung line is at each other's throats. I feel like a good night sleep would do us all some good, because if the other's feel the way I do right now, I can understand all of the extra arguing and such. I have been so tired lately, sliding by with maybe an hour of sleep a night. Sleeping has been tricky lately, I can never seem to get my mind to stop racing, thinking about what our busy schedule held next for us. So here I am again, lying in my bed awake while everyone slept for the fifth night in a row, I could hear JK's soft breathing coming from where he sleeps across the room. I am not going to lie. I am a little jealous of how soundly he seems to be sleeping. I picked up my phone to look at the time. 3:43 AM, I only had about an hour and 15 minutes before Jin would come barging in to wake us up for breakfast as we had a lot going on today. I fell asleep, but not soundly thinking about what our outfits are potentially going to look like for the photo shoot tomorrow. I feel like I had just fallen asleep, when I was suddenly shook awake hearing my name being called softly. I opened my eyes and closed them again quickly, not having been prepared for the sun to intrude my vision so aggressively. I noticed a slight tinge of pain in my head as I opened my eyes again slowly trying to help them adjust better. I looked over to see JK looking at me.

"Oh thank goodness, I thought I was going to have to get Hobi hyung to come wake you up." He said looking at me. "Come up, up, up we have to eat breakfast and then we are leaving we have an hour so please get ready." JK then walked out of the room, leaving me by myself. After 3 minutes of convincing myself to get up, I finally rose from the comfort of my bed getting ready to stretch my tired muscles. As I stood, I feel the pain in my head hit me again only this time with more force, causing me to stumble slightly. I let myself get back to normal while holding my bedpost before, I made my way into the bathroom to shower. I am so used to showers being relaxing on my mind and muscles but it wasn't this time, I just started to feel my headache worsen and now my belly was churning. Maybe I just need some food, I got dressed and headed down stairs for breakfast.

Jin's POV

I noticed Tae finally coming down the stairs, he was the last to enter the dining room which was a little unusual, I turned to greet him and noticed his pale skin.

"Morning Tae, are you feeling alright you look a little pale?" I asked him, while reaching my hand up to feel for a fever. I noticed this caught everyone else's attention

"I am okay, I just didn't sleep well and need some food." He told me. He went and sat down next to Jimin with his plate, not allowing me to touch his forehead. I saw Jimin reach up and rest his hand on Tae's back, rubbing up and down his back.

"No sleep again?" Jimin asked him, looking concerned.

"What do you mean again?" Yoongi questioned.

"Well, he told me earlier this week that he hasn't been able to sleep." Jimin told us, looking guilty about not telling us earlier. We all watched as Tae started taking small bites of his pancakes. His face would screw into a look of discomfort with each bite. I saw a look of concern on Jimin's face and his eyes met mine and he pointed towards Tae's back and then pretended to fan himself with his hand, telling me that my assumption about a fever was correct. I walked over to them after grabbing the thermometer and put my hand on his forehead.

"Tae, can you open your mouth please, I think you have a fever, but I need to see how high it is." I asked him in a quiet voice. He opened his mouth slightly and I put the thermometer under his tongue and there was silence as we all waited to hear it beep. We heard the beep and I pulled it out of his mouth and I could feel my face turn into a frown when I saw the numbers on the little screen.

"what is it?" Hobi asked.

"103 .4 degrees." I told them as I saw their looks all sadden as they looked in Tae's direction as he suddenly pushed his plate of barely eaten pancakes and stood sprinting out of the dining room.

"I will follow him." Yoongi told us all, knowing what was happening and him being the least squeamish beside me. I started to get things we would need to take care of him together.

Yoongi's POV

I followed Tae into the bathroom, he crashed to the floor in front of the toilet and I could see him physically trying to prevent himself from vomiting. " Tae baby, you can't do that, you will only make it worse." I told him in a soft voice using his favorite pet name to be coddled with while he is sick. He started heaving, not bringing anything up at first and then he made a choking noise before I heard him expel what little was in his stomach from breakfast. I was rubbing his back and whispering soothing words into his ears. He finally got a moment to catch his breath and he fell back into me. I reached up and flushed the toilet and grabbed a small piece of tissue and wiped his mouth. "Are you ready to stand up? I think you will be more comfortable in your room."

"Yeah." he whispered while giving me a small nod. I helped him stand up and balanced him as we made our way to the sink so he could brush his teeth and wash his hands. I helped him as we walked together to his and JK's shared room. He changed into shorts and a t-shirt and I helped tuck him into bed. Jin then walked in with a tray in one hand that had some medicines, water, and the thermometer on it, in the other hand was a small garbage can.

"Okay Tae, you need to take this medicine and eat a couple crackers to get your fever down." Jin told him. Tae just laid there with her eyes shut and whimpered while shaking his head.

"Baby, you have to, it will help you feel better." I rationalized with him while helping him sit up. He took 2 crackers into his shaking hands and slowly ate them. I then handed him the water bottle, he took it and tried to guzzle it down. I pulled it slightly from his hand. He whimpered. " I'm sorry baby, but you have to take small sips or you will make yourself sick." He started taking small sips with my help, putting the medicine in his mouth in between the intakes of water. After a few more sips he pushed the water away and laid back down, closing his eyes. Jimin came walking in to check on him at this point.

"Jiminie, cuddles?" Tae asked, sounding small. Jimin just smiled and nodded crawling into the bed behind Tae and wrapping his arms around him, both of them fell asleep instantly. Namjoon had called and gotten our schedules pushed back by 3 days, to allow Tae to rest. I looked down at the 2 sleeping boys knowing that Tae was going to be okay, we just need to make sure he sleeps better.
