8. Taehyung: How Am I the Only One?

Taehyung POV

It's like any other day except we are doing a photo shoot outside and it is the first bloom and it is so pretty, all the different flowers. It isn't too hot or too cold and an outdoor photo shoot wouldn't be that without someone yelling about bugs. I am standing here waiting to be told what position they want the first round of pictures in, when I hear Hoseok start screaming about a spider and I can't help but laugh when suddenly I feel this itchiness on my arm and I look down to see small red bumps forming on my skin. It seems a little weird that they happened to appear so suddenly, but I am sitting in flowers I have never seen before and there are like a million bugs out here, so I figured it was just a reaction to those things. The photographer finally tells all of us where they want us and Hoseok is still freaking out about the bugs, when we get into position and I am next to Namjoon. We take a couple pictures before Namjoon turns to face me and I see concern in his eyes.

"Namjoon why are you looking at me like that?" He shakes his head and points.

"What happened to your face?" He asks, causing everyone's attention to turn to me.

"Oh, I think you are having a reaction to something." Seokjin says and walks up to me, just as he goes to grab my hand, one of the makeup staff coming running up and tell them not to touch me and that a medic will be out soon to see if they can figure out what caused the reaction. I sit in the chair that was brought out for me so the medic can look me over and he seems to be confused until he takes my temperature.

"Taehyung, you have a fever, are you feeling sick at all?" He asks and I just shake my head, I am confused as to where these red bumps came from and why I have a fever but feel perfectly fine and that was when I started to scratch the red bumps without realizing it. " Are these bumps itchy Taehyung?" The medic asks, causing me to nod my head and a look to come across his face.

"What do you think it is?" Seokjin questions, the medic turns to him.

"I think he has chicken pox, but I am not sure, he should see a doctor to be sure and to get the proper treatment." He explains to us, that was when the photographer shut everything down for the day and we all left. We went home and I went to my room, an hour later Seokjin came and told me to get ready. I have a doctor appointment in an hour and he was taking me.

Seokjin's POV

I am very worried, I know I have had chickenpox before but I can't be certain about the other boys, and I know that chickenpox is highly contagious. I know that the medic said he thought that was what it was and it isn't confirmed that it is yet , but I can't help but to worry about the others if it is. I made Taehyung an appointment, but I am the only one going with him for the fact that I know for sure I cant get it again, likely.

"Taehyung, come on we have to go." I yell up the stairs waiting for him to be ready, he walks down the stairs and all I see is him itching his arms. "Stop scratching you are going to cause scabs and scarring." He shakes his head and puts on his pouty face.

"But hyung, it itches so bad." He whines like a child and I can't help but chuckle and shake my head.

"I know it itches but you can't scratch it, Do I need to put cloth over your hands so you don't scratch?" I ask jokingly and he puts his head down and shakes it, the pout still visible on his face. "Come on you big baby, let's get you to the doctor so they can help." He nods and we head out to the car.

"Hyung, why are only the two of us going? Normally one of the other boys goes with us as well." He asks while looking out the widow at the passing trees.

"I am being cautious, because if it is chickenpox they are very contagious and I don't know if the other boys have had them before." I explain while keeping my attention on the road ahead of us.

"Have you had them before hyung?" He asks and I just nod, knowing he is looking at me. He goes to ask more questions, but I pull into a parking spot in front of the clinic and we get out. We stand at the receptionist desk and tell them the information they need for the appointment, the nurse sends us to the waiting room with just us in it. She told us this waiting room was for potentially contagious illnesses and she asks if I have ever had them. We sit in silence for a while, when Taehyung suddenly pulls me from my thoughts.

"What about at the dorm?" He asks abruptly and with no context.

"What about the dorm?" I ask, hoping for more clarification.

"You said the others couldn't come because you didn't know if they have had them before, so if it is chicken pox what will we do? We all live in the same dorm." He asks while stating the obvious and it sends me into thinking again, I hadn't thought of that.

"Well I will call Namjoon when you are getting the check up and have him figure out who has and hasn't had the chickenpox." I explain to him, finishing up just in time for a nurse to call him back to see the doctor. I wait for him in the waiting room, and do what I told him I am going to.

"Hey Namjoon, can you do me a favor?"

Namjoons POV

My phone rings just as I sit down to start reading my book, I look to see the contact name JINNIE.

"Hello?" I greet.

"Hey Namjoon, can you do me a favor?" He asks, I nod my head realizing he cant see me before responding.

"Sure, whats up?" I ask.

"Can you go and ask the others if they have had chickenpox and if they don't know have them call their moms please." He explains, and I do it again where I nod as my response, before remembering I need to use actual words.

"Yeah, I will let you know and just let me know when you and Taehyung are on your way home please." I request.

"Will do Namjoon, and thank you again." He says before hanging up. I stand up and go to my bedroom door, before yelling into the rest of the house for the others.

"Yoongi hyung, Hoseok hyung, Jiminie, Kookie can you come here please." I hear a small amount of groaning before they all come stomping up the stairs.

"What's up Namjoon hyung?" Jungkook asks.

"I need to know who has and hasn't had the chickenpox, if you don't know please call and ask your parents." I instructed, they nod before Jimin speaks up.

"Wait, so Taehyung does have chicken pox?" He asks. I just shrug.

"I don't know, Jin hyung just called and asked me to let him know who has and hasn't had the chickenpox just in case." I explain to them.

"I have had them." Hoseok tells me, I nod my head.

"Me too." Jimin and Yoongi tell me at the same time causing us to all laugh.

"I have had them too, Kookie?" I question, he looks up from his phone where he had been furiously typing.

"I am not sure, I just texted my mom asking her." He tells us, I nod.

"Okay let me know what she says so I can let Jin hyung know." I tell him he nods and they all walk away. About a half hour later Jungkook comes and tells me that his mom said he has had them so I texted Jin and let him know.

Taehyung's POV

I am in the car to go home, after the doctor told me that I have chicken pox. She told me to use itching lotion and some pain relievers and that it will go away in two weeks and if it doesn't go back.

"Jin hyung where are we going?" I ask being pulled from my thoughts by us taking a turn the opposite way of the dorm.

"We are running to the pharmacy to get the itching lotion and some more pain relievers." He tells me, His phone beeps alerting us of a message. "Can you tell me who texted, I am driving and it should be Namjoon." I was surprised when I picked up his phone to see he was right about the message being from Namjoon.

"It was Namjoon hyung, He said that everyone else has had them." I tell him verbatim what the text said.

"That's good, that means the dorm isn't going to be a problem." He tells me. We park at the pharmacy and he turns to me. "Stay here, I will be right back and don't scratch, while I am gone." He says looking down to see me scratching my arm again. He walks into the store and I feel myself scratching again. I groan and think to myself. This lotion better work or it is going to be a miserable two weeks. I can't help but think, How am I the only one to experience this as an adult.
