20. Seokjin: Let Us Help You

Hoseok's POV

We are all exhausted, we are performing at an award show today and we have been working so hard for it and the dances that we are doing aren't exactly easy. We are performing Boy With Luv, Fire, DNA and ending with Fake Love. We are getting ready to rehearse and I can see the bags under all of our eyes.

"Guys dont forget to eat, stretch, drink water and rest when you can, and if anyone needs any help just ask." I tell them with a smile on my face and I get a group unison groan in response. We walk on stage for rehearsal and Boy With Luv starts playing through the speakers and we dance and sing along and it goes well. Fire is a hard dance and there are some parts that we have been struggling with the last couple days and I am hoping everything goes according to plan. We are doing it at half energy so we don't get too tired and we get a part where there is a jumping sequence following lots of trick footwork, everything seems to be going fine when I hear a thud and everyone stops dancing, the music is stopped and I turn to see Namjoon helping Jin up.

"Hyung are you alright?" Namjoon asks and Jin nods.

"I am fine guys let's try again." Jin says, but I see a slightly pained look on his face.

"Hyung are you sure?" I ask and he nods again.

"Yes, I am fine let's get back to practice so we can relax a little before the show." he tells us and I reluctantly turn back to the front and nod for the music to be restarted. I keep side glancing towards Jin only to see him dancing but also holding back a pained look that shows through every once and awhile. After we finish rehearsing we all head backstage to get lunch and relax. I approach Jin, who is slightly limping but very obviously trying to hide it.

"Jin hyung are you sure you are okay? Its okay if you got injured during the fall earlier you don't have to hide it." I tell him and smile while grabbing his shoulder. He smiles back.

"I promise Hobi, I am okay. I would tell someone if I wasn't so please quit worrying, let's just rock this performance tonight and then we have a few days off." He says as he turns back to the table full of different types of food. I sigh and walk back to the table with my plate and sit between Yoongi and Jimin. I sit there for a couple minutes just playing with my food and getting lost in thought as to why Jin won't admit he is hurt.

Jimin's POV

I notice Hoseok sitting here just pushing his food around, with his fork and staring.

"Hyung are you going to eat?" I ask him, getting no response.

"Hobi?" Still nothing.

"Hoseok?" Yoongi said in a raised voice and shook Hoseok's arm a little.

"Huh? Oh what's up hyung?" Hoseok asks, noticing Yoongi.

"Jimin asked if you were going to eat and you haven't said a word since you sat down." Yoongi explains and I nod.

"Oh, I was just thinking that's all, I will start eating." He tells us and I look at Yoongi and I can see the concerned look on his face and I know I am wearing a similar one.

"Hyung what's got you so spaced?" I ask and he sighs.

"I think Jin hyung got hurt when he fell but he won't admit it and I just don't want him to hurt himself worse, but I can't think of any reason why he would hide it." He tells us and I hear Yoongi sigh.

"Hobi, Jin hyung is the oldest and he is probably worried that if he says something that he won't be able to perform and you know he struggles with his lack of dance experience. He may joke around about it, but it still bothers him that he isn't as quick to learn. And he probably isn't even hurt, it might just be sore in the moment and he will be fine after our break." Yoongi explains and I nod, Hoseok thinks for a minute.

"Yeah hyung maybe you're right I am getting worked up over nothing. " Hoseok says and I nod.

"Now let's talk about something else." I say and they nod.

"What do you think we should do with our days off after tonight?" I ask and they shrug.

"I think I am going to get sleep and work on my mixtape." Yoongi says and Hoseok nods.

"Me too, actually hyung will you listen to my draft and tell me what you think?" Hoseok asks Yoongi earning him a nod. We fall into silence once again continuing to eat and one by one we make our way to the dressing room to get ready.

Jin's POV

I am a little nervous about tonight, I hurt my ankle pretty bad during rehearsal and then I lied to Hoseok saying I was fine. I don't really know why I didn't tell him but I think it's more I don't want to be seen as weak seeing as I am the oldest and getting hurt like that is more of a Namjoon kind of thing. I ate my lunch and then started to get ready, I went to finally put my performance shoes on when I see my ankle is swollen and a purplish color. It will be fine just pull through the performance and then you have a few days off to rest it, I tell myself and pull my shoe on acting like it's nothing even though it was so painful. I walk and get my hair and make up done and we are standing backstage doing our before performance rituals.

"Are you ready hyung?" Jungkook asks me and I nod with a big smile on my face.

"I am excited to perform tonight." I tell him and I see Hoseok glancing at me every couple seconds in my peripherals and I just brush it off, walking over to where I am to enter the stage.

"5, 4, 3, 2 , the stage manager points to the tech guys to start raising our platforms and we start the opening sequence to Boy With Luv half way up. I am performing well and don't even feel pain, the adrenaline being my pain reliever and we get through Boy With Luv fine and then Fire starts. I am starting to get tired and the adrenaline is starting to fade and the pain in my ankle feels like it's on fire and burning. I make it through halfway and all the jumping and quick movements of our feet cause my ankle to hurt worse. We finish Fire and go right into DNA and I am leaning on the members for support when I can but also acting like I am fine. We end it with Fake Love and our platform starts to sink back below the stage and I am putting all of my weight on Yoongi and Jimin. I have my eyes closed and I am trying not to scream in pain.
"Hyung are you okay?" I hear Taehyung ask as I am walked over to a chair I am sat down and a medic comes over and starts checking my eyes and my pulse, they must think I am faint.

"No no no it's my ankle." I tell them and Hoseok bends down and carefully pulls off my shoe and everyone sees how swollen and bruised it is but something is new, it's at a weird angle. I see it and I start seeing black. Yoongi must have noticed because he starts lightly tapping my cheeks.

"Hyung, you have to stay awake so you can help us get you what you need. I nod and still feel pretty out of it when I feel myself being lifted and set on something more comfortable. I feel a needle in my hand and try to pull away.

"Hyung you can't do that, we are going to the hospital. They are trying to give you medicine so you feel better." Namoon tells me and I nod feeling suddenly sleepy. When I wake up I feel a little pain in my leg and I look to see a cast on it and all the members sitting around my hospital bed.

"Hyung, you broke your ankle. The doctor said you did more damage by performing." Hoseok tells me, I nod.

"I am so sorry guys, i should have said something." I tell them earning a unanimous nod and then I lay back. Why do I have to be self reliant all the time?

"Just remember hyung we are here to help." Hoseok tells me and I nod.
