10. Hoseok: It Takes A True Friend

Hoseok's POV

I am awake, it is 4:30 in the morning and I can't sleep because my stomach is not feeling good. I am worried due to the fact that we have a busy day ahead of us and I am not sure I will make it through it with my body not working properly. I get up to see if I can find some type of medicine to help my stomach not hurt, it just hurts. I don't feel sick, has that ever happened to you. I am rummaging through the cabinet and I find some liquid medicine that says it will work for what I need and I pour the amount that it says into the little cup and take it. It was awful tasting and I just hope it works better than it tastes. I go back to mine and Jimin's shared room and lay down and almost right away fall asleep. I wake up again at 6:30 to get ready for the interview we have this morning and then we have a recording session and then dance practice to finish out our day. I remember that I was having stomach issues last night as I was in the shower and I don't feel the pain anymore, so I will have to remember that the medicine worked for the future. I am brushing my hair and putting lotion on my face after I get out of the shower and I notice that I look a little flushed but I don't think anything of it because I feel okay. In the kitchen there is a lot of hustle and bustle of the other members and when I walk in Jimin calls my name causing all eyes to be on me.

"Hobi? Are you feeling okay, you are very flushed?" Yoongi asks and I nod my head.

"Yeah I feel fine, I just didn't sleep great last night." I explain to them and they all look like they are trying to believe but are still skeptical. I pull a bowl out of the cabinet and fill it with cereal and just looking at it I feel no appetite to eat it so I push the bowl away and go to brush my teeth.

"Hyung you didn't eat, where are you going?" Jungkook questioned and I shrug.

"I am not hungry, I thought I was but I was wrong so I am going to brush my teeth." I tell him and it goes more quiet if possible.

"Hobi baby are you sure you are okay?" Jin asks me and I nod again.

"I am positive, I just don't feel hungry. I will eat later I promise." I tell them and turn to walk out and I hear all of them sigh. We all get in the van to head to the interview and Jin keeps looking at me like I am about to shatter. I put my headphones in and lay my head on Yoongi's shoulder and fall asleep. I am woke up by someone shaking me, I look and see Jimin.

"Hyung we are here, you need to wake up." He tells me and I sit up a little to see everyone else is gone. "Hyung your skin is warm and you are still flushed are you sure you're okay?" I take a minute to analyze myself and notice I have a slight headache but I choose not to say that.

"Yeah Jiminie, I am okay please don't say anything though cause I don't need everyone worrying about nothing." I tell him and he looks like he wants to deny my request but he just nods with a sigh.

Jimin's POV

I can tell that Hoseok is not well, I share a room with him and I know that he didn't get to bed until 5 this morning. I heard him taking medicine in our bathroom and he just doesn't look well. I walk behind him as we enter the interview studio and get our hair and make up done and then we go to change into our outfits. I see Hoseok's hanging on the cart and it is glittery silver leather pants and a long sleeve floral button up with and green and blue knit sweater, he also has tennis shoes and a choker to wear. I start to worry about him getting too warm because we are going to be performing Fake Love and Airplane PT. 2. I should tell someone about what I noticed in the van, but I also promised Hoseok, I think about it some more and decide that it is better safe than sorry so I tell Yoongi.

"Suga hyung, I think Hobi hyung is ill and he isn't saying anything." I explain to him and he nods.

"Why do you think he is ill?" He asks me and I explain myself to him.

"Well he didn't actually fall asleep until 5 this morning and before he fell asleep he went in our bathroom and took some type of medicine and he is flushed and when I woke him up in the van his skin was hot to the touch and he looked like he was sensitive to the light, i think he has a fever and a headache and is exhausted for sure." I tell him and he just sighs.

"I think he is ill, but he is worrying about letting us down again and he doesnt get sick often and when he does it is bad so we will keep an eye on him but we are going to have to wait for him to admit it." Yoongi tells me and I nod and ask if I should tell the others and he shakes his head. "Don't tell the others because if they know they will try to force him into admitting it and we don't need to cause any unnecessary drama, he will come to us when he needs to." he explains and I nod and continue getting ready for the interview. We went through the interview part and now we are about to perform and Hoseok is looking worse by the second, I look up and make eye contact with Yoongi and it's like a secret unspoken language between us cause he looks at hoseok and then back at me and just nods. We perform and then get ready to leave and head to the recording session and I am worried that Hoseok is just going down hill and it will be too late when he finally admits it.

Yoongi's POV

I can see that Jimin is starting to worry really badly and he is starting to get too noticeable about it and I am not in the mood for there to be an argument today, so I need to find a way to get Jimin to calm down. I notice that Hoeseok is just getting worse and we are about to go record for the new album and I think he will be okay for that, it is the dance practice later today that I am worried about. I take it upon myself to go ask Hoseok if he is alright, as everyone gets out of the van.

"Hey Hoseok are doing okay, Jimin told me he noticed you didn't sleep well last night and so if you feel tired let me know I will find a way for you to get a break to take a nap." I tell him trying to not make him feel like he has to admit to something. He nods his head and then explains.

"Yeah hyung I am okay, I didn't sleep well last night so I am a little tired but I will be okay." He tells me and we head into the building. Hoseok, Namjoon and myself go into a recording studio to listen to some of the rapping that we recorded last week and try to figure out how to make it better. I find a spot in Hoseok's rap in his solo song Trivia: Just Dance that needs a little work, so I send him into the booth to make some sample sounds to try out. He was in the booth for like 10 minutes, before he ripped the headphones off and made a dead sprint out of the room, Namjoon and I followed him to find him enter the bathroom dropping to knees in front of the toilet and heaving and retching I sit behind him and rub his back trying to get him to finally vomit because he is holding it in.

"Baby, you have to do it and get it over with or you will only feel worse." I tell him and he just shakes his head and I can see there are tears running down his face. Namjoon reaches up and dries his tears and he still isn't allowing himself to be sick, so I did something a little mean and pressed on his belly forcing him to release what he was holding in he vomited for about 5 minutes straight and it sounded painful before he finally caught a break to breathe. He slumps back into my body, the exhaustion finally settling in and I look up to Namjoon.

"Go get the others, tell them we have to take Hobi home cause he is sick and tell our manager we will make up dance practice later this week." I tell him, he nods and runs out of the bathroom. I sit there with Hoseok in my arms and I feel his breathing even out telling me he fell asleep, Namjoon returns with Jungkook and Jin and we lift Hoseok up and take him to the car. We get him home and get all the supplies to take care of him. Hoseok is sad that he feels he let us down but we told him not to worry and that we had the rest of the week off to take care of his flu and he just needs to relax and get better. I will tell you it was an awful experience to force Hoseok to throw up, but it takes a true friend to help you get better whether you know it's good for you or not.
