BTS Sickfics

7. Jungkook: Bruised Ego

Namjoon's POV

I am a little worried about this performance today because the last time we did something for BTS Yoongi had a panic attack and Hoseok had an allergic reaction and we have had time off after that. As the leader I worry about what can go wrong and I know that I shouldn't think that way but I can't help it, these boys are my family and I don't like when bad things happen so worrying is all part of the job.

"Hyung, did you hear me?" Jungkook asks, pulling me from my thoughts.

"Sorry no I didn't hear you?" I answered still a little confused, I look around the table and see everyone looking at me concerned. "What?" I ask quietly not liking the attention.

"Are you feeling okay? You went all spacey and it was like we had lost you for a little while." Jin explains while coming over and feeling my forehead.
"Yeah, I am okay I just got lost in thought." I say and look around again and the concerned looks are still there.

"What were you thinking about so hard that it was like you weren't here hyung?" Jimin questions while looking like he was staring into my soul. I think about whether I should tell them or not.

"Nothing, just about how today is our first time doing something publicly as BTS in a while." I tell them only half the truth, because they don't need my concerns on their shoulders, today is a big day.

"Oh yeah, I guess." Jin says and everyone goes back to eating. I think about the performance and how we are performing Mikrokosmos, Boy with Luv, and Dionysus for the special stage today. It should go well. We have performed these songs tons of times and so my brain eases a little.

"Come on guys we have a sound check to get to let's go so we aren't late." Jin yells to us, I help usher everyone to the car and we are on our way to the performance center. We get our mics set up and head on the stage for sound check and a run through. Then we get ready for the actual performance tonight, I am starting to feel a little more worried for some reason.

Hoseok's POV

I can feel the tension and worry emitting off of Namjoon and I don't know why he is always so tense when we perform, we do it for a living but he is the leader so there is more responsibility in a way. I get myself set in my spot to do the run through now that mic checks are done. We perform Mikrokomos first which is just standing in our spots pretty much, it goes well and we fix a few things and then move onto Boy with Luv. We have to stop a couple times throughout Boy with Luv and then we are moving on to Dionysus. We take a small break to get some water and catch our breath before doing Dionysus. I am sitting down against the wall when Jungkook walks up to me.

"Hyung, I am not feeling right like my head keeps going dizzy." He explains, I am taken aback at the fact that he came to me first, but I try to help him.

"Do you want to sit out of the Dionysus practice, I can ask?" I ask him and he just shakes his head. "What would you like to do then?" I question in a soft voice, not really knowing if he had a headache or what was causing the dizziness.

"It is just a headache hyung, do you have any medicine for that?" He asks, sounding like a child and confirming that he had a headache. I dig in my bag and pull out a bottle of medicine for him to take and I know it is fast acting so he should be okay to do the practice.

"There you go but please if you aren't feeling better by the time break is done tell me so I can talk to them about you not practicing with us." I tell him and he nods while laying his head on my shoulder. I smile down at him and continue to relax, until Yoongi came up to get us to go back to practice. "Jungkook are feeling better?" He nods his head slowly, telling me that it is better but not gone. I want to tell him to sit out, but I know he won't. We go back out on the stage and are set to practice Dionysus and I hear the music begin. I notice that Jungkook's moves are a little sloppy and we get to the part where the maknaes roll over the table and Jungkook doesn't land on his feet he just rolls off onto the floor, we are all trying to keep going but notice he isn't getting up. The music stops and we can hear Jungkook gasping for breath, the small fall to the floor had winded him telling me that he fell directly on his back.

"Jungkook are you alright?" Namjoon asks well trying to sit him up but he whines and flops back down on the floor. We all look at each other concerned, I start to feel guilty about not telling someone he was not well before we started.

"Hyung, it hurts." Jungkook whimpers out and tears are silently cascading down his face.

"Where does it hurt baby?" Yoongi asks, being the most comforting in situations like this. Jungkook points towards his hip and Jin and Namjoon roll him on his opposite side like Yoongi asked so he could look at it better. When Yoongi pulls Jungkook's shirt up a little bit we can all see a bruise already starting to form and it looks swollen.

"Taehyung can you go get a medic, and Jimin can you go get some ice please?" Jin instructs and they nod and run off to complete their tasks. Yoongi is still trying to get Jungkook more comfortable with the help of Namjoon and Jin and I am just standing here still feeling guiltier by the second.

"Hoseok?" Jin yells, getting my attention, I shake my head as if wiping my thoughts.

"Yeah?" I respond, he asks if I can come and help comfort Jungkook. I nod and make my way to sitting on the floor in front of our youngest.

Jungkook's POV

It was awful, I had ruined everything, I should have listened to Hoseok and sat out of practice because now I might not be able to perform at all. I was lying when I told him I was feeling better, and I practiced anyways and now I am laying on the floor with a horrible pain in my hip and the others surrounding me.

"Jungkook look at me please?" Hoseok says, I look up and can see the guilty look on his face. I was upset with myself that he feels it is his fault, I could have told the others as well but I didn't.

"I am sorry Hoseok hyung, I didn't listen, this is my fault." I tell him and see him look more guilty if that is even possible. "I should have told them and I shouldn't have practiced knowing I was unwell."

"Hoseok what is he talking about?" Jin asks Hoseok. He just sighs and looks at Jin, Yoongi, and Namjoon.

"Jungkook came to me during the break and told me that he had a headache and it was causing him to be dizzy. I told him to sit out of practice but he didn't agree so instead I just gave him some medicine and let him practice anyway and now he is hurt because I didn't stop him." Hoseok confesses and I feel guilty.

"It's not his fault I should have listened." I tell them and Jin just looks at the two of us.

"There is enough blame to go around but let's not focus on that right now, let's just get Jungkook better." He says, and we look up to see that Jimin is back with the ice and the medic is walking up with Taehyung. The medic looks over my injury and tells Jimin to put the ice on it.

"You can't perform tonight. It is a really bad bruise with pulled muscles so rest, Ice it, and heat, with medicine for the pain as needed is what I can suggest. If it gets worse tonight see a doctor they can help you more." The medic explains. Hoseok and Jin help me up to get me to the dressing room. I put the ice on it and relax as much as possible and when we perform that night I sit on a chair. The performance was successful apart from my unfortunate injury but it was my fault and now I just have to get better for the next time.
